BUSINESS IN
ALASKA GOOD
F. Fl. Knickerbocker of Cug-

Pleased with Outlook.

The Alaska situation Is most sat
sfactory at the present time to the
Alaska Steamship Company" said f.
II. Knickerbocker general manager
OF the Guggenheim interests in AL
aska. who passed through juneau to-
day on the steamship jefferson from
Skagway. en- route to his headquar
ters in Seattle.
1.-THE herring business to date ex
ceeds the output OF last year and
will be doubled by the end of the
season. The Alaska Steamship Com
pany docs large portion of the
business with the herring salteries
which are mostly in Prince William
Sound. in our district between Sew
ard and Cordova.
Il believe the herring industry is
only in its infancy in Alaska Last
year there were only three salteries
lat the Westward. This year there
are eight and ! understand several
more are to be operated next season
"The Cold Bav OF field will be a
big boom to the business in the
Westward. The Standard Oil Com
pany is going into the country at
the present time to do extensive ex-
plora ton work A second cargo of
supplies were shipped to the oil dis
trict recently on the Alaska Steam
shfr Company freiehter Redondo for
the Standard Oil.
Interior Business Good
There is not great deal of
business from the Interior at the
present time with that country in
the present condition Of develop
mcnt. The Interior district needs a
substantial development in the gold
mining industry The people are
optimistic for the future and there
is no doubt development there will
be gradually extended.
THE Alaska Steamship Company
IS now considering the promotion Of
tourist travel from Valdez over the
Richardson Highway to Fairbanks
and return by way of the Govern
mont Railroad to the coast. | be-
licve such a travel route can be sue
ccssful' y carried out and it will be
a big thing for the Territory. 1t is
evident that tourist travel is one
Of the big factors in the develop
ment of this Territory The tourist
travel is growing larger every year.
At Sllagway | was informed the tour
list travel there this season was the
largest it has been in six years.
Tourists Impressed

possibilities of the country arc bound

nstan es they return to the Terri
tory toFmake their homes. Numbers
of the tourists are influential in the
States and are capable of interesting
capital here. For this reason | espe-
c'ollv advocate a development in the
tourist travel in Alaska.
This is my first trip to Alaska

The first Alaska Teachers Insti

September l. last, WAS successful in
every respect. according to Com
missioner l.. ID. Henderson, who re-
turned here today on the Admiral

ANANA VALLEY
GRAIN IS HURT
BY EARLY COLD
Virtual Grain Failure Indi-
Gated as Result Of Early.
Autumn Freezes.

Early autumn froSts. and freezes
in the Tanana alley have virtually
resulted in the failure of the grain
crops there except for hay, accord
ing to advices received today by
Gov. Bone Barley is apparently the
only grain not affected by the
frOsts
In the Is years history OF farm
ing in the Tanana Valley, up to this
season there has never been a crop
failure. In 1919. although the sea-
son between killing frosts was but
80 days, wheat and oats as well as
other grain and also vegetable crops
matured. The summer season of that
year, however, was dry and warm
and crops matured rapidly.
Conditions this year were mater
tally different Supt. Gasser, of the
Government Experiment Farm near
Fairbanks, in wire just received
by the Governor said that spring
seeding was one week later than
normal and the summer was wet
and cold, with larger precipitation
than in any midsummer of record.
The cold weather favored a strong
vegtatve growth. but delayed ma
turity and the grain crops suffered
heavily by the severe freezes in
early autumn, except for hay only
and some barley. The potato crop
was also injured by the unfavorable
season. Farming land under culti-
walton in the Tanana Valley this
season is estimated at 1000 acres.

Sxty-two farmers are actively en-

during the year many inquiries were
received from prospective settlers in
the States. The season of 1922 was
the first in which the larger portion
OF the grain crops in the interior
failed to ripen because OF unfavor-
able weather conditions.

SCHOOL GRADES
HAUCHT'S TOPIC
!. At j. ASSEMBLY

AT the general assembly at the
state university yesterday morn
ing. Benjamin Franklin Taught,
Phi. D., of the university, ex-
planned the principles underlying
the important matter of grades
or marks in the school. The aver
age citizen is concerned in this
matter both from the standpoint
of the parent and of the taxpayer,
because the promotion of pupils
and of classes Is dependent upon
the teachers marks, and ulti-
mately the matter of promotion az
fects the size of the teaching
force. the number of buildings and
the cost of education,
DR.. Taught spoke in part, as
follows;
"If the fruitfulness or waste
fulness of methods Of learning
and teaching are to be evaluated.
pupils must be graded accurately.
The successful operation of the
school, including promotion and
retention of pupils demands ac-
curate grading. There are GER
tain ethical questions involved,
such as the following: Are the
grades fair to the pupils in the
class? Are they fair to pupils i'll
other classes? Are they fair to
me as a teacher? Are they fair to
the other teachers in the institu-
ton The teacher who grades too
literally is unjust to other teach
ers as we'll as to the pupils. The
teacher who grades to closely is
unfair to herself as well as to
The pupils.
Investigations have revealed"
he continued, that grades are
very unreliable. In one institution,
there were 55 chances in a hun
bred of getting an A, while in
another department the chances
were 2 in 100. The variation
ranged all the way from to So
in the different departments.
other institutions have been
found to have just as great varia-
ton. Two final examination pa
pers in first year English were
graded by 142 different teachers
All do llldHN StuOOlSs J. IC
for one paper ranged from Ga to
80, and in the other from SO to
%. A geometry paper was
graded by 11S teachers. The
grades ranged from 20 to 90. A
history paper graded by 70l
teachers showed range from
43 to 80. These Investigations
show that teachers marks are
very unreliable in all subjects.
How large should the units Of
a marking scale be? 1t has been
found that with our usual scheme
of 20 per cent for passing, more
than five steps do not add to the
reliability when we wish to COM
pare one teachers grades with |
those of another. The number of |
steps may be increased when one
teacher wishes to compare her
grades in one class with her
grades in another class. If the five |
grades are A, B, c, d and +, the
teacher may increase the steps by I
assigning plus and a minus to
each. These additional marks,
however, become worthless in the
office.

AS We sow. so shall We reap.

As We SOW, so shall We reap.
All a government can do in this
respect, even a patenal government
is to give equality of opportunity.
It is of vital importance to the
United States that the Genoa Con-
ference, or some future economic
conference of world powers, take
such action as will re-eStabliSh the
confidence of investors in foreign
securities. Reputation on the part
of any of the great powers of their
financial obligations to other nations,
especially obligations contracted be-
fore the war, would greatly initiate
against the interests of the United
States, in that it would deter Amer
leans from the investment of capital
in the industrial reconstruction of
Europe and in the development of
the resources of the backward ma
tionS as well, upon which America
in common with other commercial
nations depends for future markets.

development Of the industries them
selves, In this American display both
sense Of justice and appreciation of
the need to maintain a high standard
.of living among wage eanes in or
der to insure that high standard Of
citizenship which is essential to the
securiy and prosperity of a demo-
cratic form of government. But la
Dor must realize that even so rich a
nation as ours would inevitably soon
become bankrupt if the cost of pro-
duction exceeds the value of the
product. Especially if we are to sue
ceSSfully compete in our overseas
trade, which affords employment for
a large part of our labor, We must
develop the highest possible effcien-
cy of the wage Garner, representing
as labor does so large a share in the
cost of the production.
The INEVITABLE RIGHT.
All intelligent citizens now agree
that what our government could and
should do, apart from its action in
regard to national defense and kin
dred matters, may be expressed in
a single phrase; it can see that the
gates of opportunity are kept open
for its citizens along the whole
length of every road that crosses our
political and industrial life. In other
words, it can assure to all men and
women a chance to work and win ac-
cording to their talent and diligence
and moral fibre, and can guard the
paths to success from obstruction of
trickeY, fraud, oppression, or mon
opoly.
But the function of government is
not to guarantee equality of reward
for inequality of service. No in
alienable right is guaranteed a cit
izen to unearned increment in the
fruits of industry.
