Where they come from no enc is sure, though 1t is believed by experts that they winter on some bare islands on tho Aisatic side, south of Japan, and cross the Pa cific to strike the American coast and follow it to the Arctic rookeries.
 Some contend they stay with a certain temperature of water, fol lowed it north to the Aleutian5 dur ing the summer and south along the coast of Asia in fall and winter; thence across the Pacific north of the equator to the coast Of California, arriving there again in spring and swinging nerth on the neYer.eEding circuit.
 As an argument in support of this contention of even water tempara- ture. t is pointed out that the fur of the animals is prime at all times of the year

Seals suffer from no diseases. theil losses being chiefly caused by In ternecine wars between bulls, anu the inroads of enemies in the ocean and on land Every year the bulls used to stage a bloody war in the struggle to secure harems and great losses resulted.

SEAL PROTECTION
 INCREASES HERDS
 MANY THOUSANDS

VANCOUVER. B. C., April 13.-A Der of fur seals In the North Pacific at 100000, as compared with only 196,000 when the government adopted protective measures in 1911, and the Indians predict a good hunting sea son. The original body, before white s1cn depleted it, has been estimated ai 5,000,0 ,000 animals.
 About the time that the spring salmon are at the height of their runs on the west coast of Vancouver Island, the fur seals of the Pacific swim northward along the shore. bound for the rookeries on the Aleu- tian and Pribiloff Islands. The west coast Indians thereupon quit salmon fishing to seek the valuable pelt- bearing animals.
 No white man may catch the seals, but the Dominion government. when agreeing to stop seal-huntine insist cd that the coast Indians, who had made a part of their living from these creatures for many generations. should continue to have the right to seal during the spring migration of the herds The red men must, how ever, continue to use the primitive spears and methods of their fore fathers. No guns may be employed.
 Even under these restrictions the west coast Indians collect d,i1ily about $30,000 from the creatures. Last season was bad one, as the seals passed north far at sea on account of severe storms. ani tae Indians in their cocklcshell canoes and small fishing boats e T nc. venture out as far as the new line of migration.
 The herds are protected under q treaty made many years ago be- tween the United States, Great Brit ain, Japan and Russia. Each year a certain number cf animals are killed by naval patlol crews cf the coun- tries interested. and the proceeds Of

such towns. The high schools showed gain of S2, increasing from S6S in 192O-21 to 450 last~year, the largest increase for five years.
 ''The growth in humber and en- rollment of high schools is one of the most encouraging and ontstand- ing features of educational progress in Alaska declared the Commis- sioncr. '.The high school is the peoples college and as such should be elevated to the highest point of efficiency pcssible Year by year the number of students who find it pos sible to complete a high school course is increasing. While it is true, especially in Alaska, that a large percent of the high school graduates attend college for one or more years. the fact remains that the high school is now and will contmua to be the most Important division o. formal school Nark From the ranks of the high school graduates must be drawn those who enter college and secure training for the professions The high school must also provide that inteilieent and trained body of citi2enry which is depended upon to guide tho desdnes of the Territory and nation In our complicated ciy- ilization and under form of gov ernment which perpetualy depends upon intalligen. action by the people as whole, an elementary seAoo education no longer suffiee5.

 "The higher education record Of high school graduates is also worthy of mention. SiXty-one per cent of the high school graduating class 0. 1920 were enrolled in colleges, uni
 
 schools, and buainess colleges in 192O-21; 5S per cent Of the class o! 1921 pursued higher education eourses in 1921-22; and 57 per cent of the class of 1922 signllied their intention of entering higher institutions oi learning in the fall of 1922.
 "At the close of the school year ataon f41,o Jano,t,,,nnt cont ottt ters of inquiry to registrars of col llegas. universities, normal schools etc. in which members of the 192l graduating class of Alaska high schools were enrolled, requesting in formation on the standing made by Alaskan students.
