Small States in the League.
(The Nebraska State Journal.

(The Nebraska State Journal)
The election of Chilean President of the
League of Nations is matter of much interest. 1t
is notable recognition of a continent which is
often overlooked in casting up world affairs, and
particularly is it a significant recognition of
the place of the small nation in world affairs. The
smaller nations have been most friendly to the
League of Nations. AS between League of Nations
acting with reference to principles of justice,
and great neighbor nation acting from its own
cgotism self-interest the small state very natur-
ally prefers to cok to the League of Nations. This
is matter of some importance in judging of the
probable vitality of the institution An American
is apt to that because America is of it
it must fail This assumption is strengthened by the
small dependence which England France
places the League. But the League furnishes a
united voice for the smaller nations, and they are
not likely to be easily persuaded to give it up.

Alaska's Fur Industry.
(The Pathfinder of Alaska. J

The business of farming fox and other varieties
of fur is Alaskan industry that is just becoming
prominent. True, the business begun a good
many years ago; but it is only in years that
it has stepped into public notice The Pathfinder
has given considerable notice in late issues this
new industry Furthermore shall continue
lend every possible aid and publicity to the raisers
or fur-because fur farming along with mining, ag-
rculture, and many other lines of endeavor, is
genuine Alaskan Home Industry.
There is doubt about it, fur farming is Alas
kan. The and women who have been pioneer
ing in fur raising for the past twenty years are
almost without exception, genuine Alaskans They
live in Alaska. Unlike the wild geese they do not
come north in the summer live off the fat of the
land and then go south in the winter for foreign
consumption They stay here. They buy their sup
plies here The people they employ are Aaskans.
The money they earn comes back Alaska to build
homes, make improvements, and help solidify the
foundation of the Territorys future prosperity Tn
like many other industries, this takes nothing
from natural resources. The only thing Alaska
furnishes them is the opportunity and the right
climatic conditions. They furnish all the rest-and
whatever they produce is earned and added incre-
ment Anything that lends aid fur farming is
patriotic business.

to the officer in charge. Miss Orvis
taught at Indiana University in the
spring Of 1918, and took masters de

was placed in the work here.
The chief work Of the indianapolis

members of the faculty at Indiana

men. The present enrolment is 100,
and many additional students viii en-

are offered, including three year courses
in general business advertising. account

twenty nine different instructors twenty
of whom come from the university one
day a week. Most Of the classes are
held at the Extension Division Offices
and headquarters. at 319 North Pennsyl-

Shortridge High School Among the moro
popular courses are English compost

the opera. short story writing. and the

''The secretarlai course is my partfc-
ular hobby" says Miss Orvis" This
course is planned especially for stenog-
raphers who wish to ct themselves for
more responsible work; who need, for
instance, to gain a better command OF
English, in order that they may write
letters in the name of their employers
Many stenOgraphers are finding the
psychology course valuable in helping
them to Judge the people with whom
they come in contact. Newspaper writ
ing and advertising are also helpful to
the young woman who wants to be
ready for the emergency that may give
her her chance for n worthwhile career
Many of our women students are book
keepers who want to advance into the
ranks Of accountants"
Miss Orvis is much interested in see,
ing women take up some Of the more
broadening courses, sucb as philosophy,
literature, economies, social psychology,
international problems. eugenics and his

she works is the reciprocity burr+iu of

for putting women's ..ubs in touch with
each others work, and with the varied

assists clubs In planning their yearly
