 The new brush consists of two parts, the brush proper and d etachable handle. handle and brush separte very easily, and a new brush is quickly put in.

Alaska's Schools

That the schools in Alaska are as good as the schools in the states is daily becoming more recognized fact. Be cause children do not get the frills of education in this country, we have been orone to look down on Alaska's curricu lum just 'Ileetle bit.
 There can be no better boost for A. laskaS schools than the report cards of students that go to the states for their high school courses. An unusually large percentage of these students make grades anyone might be proud of. Per haps only the brightest chileren reach the states, but we don't believe this to the case. We do believe, however that the students have an unusually good education given them at grammer school, else they could not hold their own at the outside institutions. As tho majority of these students come from small villages or isolated spots where high school is unheard of we are com pelled to believe that the three R's are drilled in far more thoroly than in a city, because in the latter place there are too many frills added to make edu. cation more, attractive, interesting, or in other words, easier to take.
 The city child is prone to remember the sugar coating on the pill but not the pill itself. The educators who lay down the rules would do we'll to rem ember Aristotle's homily, there is no royal road to learning"
