 Mothers meetings were held reg ularly every Tuesday afternoon. A these meetings they were instructed in correct sewing and other domes tic. sciences. Rapid strids were forthcoming over the haphazard me thods ordinarily used.
 As a rule, Mrs Kane found the Aleuts intelligent, honest thrifty and hard workers. Three of the men folk of the village are expert carpen ters; one an electrician, and two Ii censed gas boat engineers. The natives live well, there being abundant of fresh fish and game on the islands and a plentiful supply of wild berries. Due to the furious gales which are constantly sweeping across the islands, the homes of the villagers are all constructed low or one story. These are we'll built, are modern and we'll furnished No evi- dence of home brew was seen at any time.
 A small catch of red fox is re- ported for the winter not more than 50 pelts being harvested over the sea have blue fox on them. The report goes on to say that the fox raising business is the greatest undeveloped industry in the district.
 During the four months of the whaling season, practically all of the men in the village were employed at the whaling station. A reasonable pay was received for their. services which helped considerably in replen- ishing the families larder and cloth ing for the households. The most important recomme contained in the report is that provision be made for travel fund to enable them to be sent to Unalaska where proper medical assistance may be rendered.
 Mrs. Kane is immensely pleased with her far, outflung Pacific island post and brought back some exceed ingly interesting photographs of scenes about the island, the school house and grounds, an interior scene of the class room and pictures of work produced by the manual train ing classes.

AKUTAN SCHOOL TEACHER BACK
 FROM ISLANDS
SCHOOL TERM OVER, GOES TO ANCHORAGE TO SPEND SUM- MFR WITH NiECE-SATISFAC- TORY PROGRESS NOTED.

Winding up the school season by returning to Seward through a terri fc storm which struck the ship un eXpectedly, off Kodiak island, Mrs Katherine c. Kane, bureau of educa tion teacher at Akutan for the past season, arrived in Seward yester- day passenger on board the Cor dova. Mrs. Kane goes to Anchorage Thursday where she will remain with her niece, Mrs. Henry Emard, until the beginning of the fall term of school next August
 A brief perusal of the teachers anual report of the past seasons ac- tivities at the village, and of the progress made by the school child ren, are of interest, and gives the reader good idea of the work ac- compEshed and the life the inhabi- tants live on the bleak islands which separate the Pacific and Arctic oceans
 The Akutan school, though small, is entirely modern in every respect having electric lights, sanitary plumb ing, a splendid bath room, a good coal cellar and we'll equipped The total attendance for the term was 25 pupils.
 It was found by Mrs. Kane, short ly after school work began, that the parents and the children, to a marked degree, were more or less indifferent to school discipline. How ever, within short period, with the proper influence brought to bear, they were brought to the realization that the rules and regulations governing the school welfare, must be adhered to and rigidly followed, which they did in a most satisfactory and pleas ing manner
 Full attendance was marked during the entire term, even thru that pc riod when an epidemic of tonsilitis in the village caused a number of the cases to be quarantined in order to prevent a contagion. The report records the birth of one child, in the village; one death and one mar riage. Medical assistance was ren- dered in 329 instances and 14S wis it's were made to homes of the viii lagers.
 A great deal of improvement was discernible in the work of the pupils, particularly in the studies and the manual training work. In this re- spect a total of 63 garments, con sisting of little dresses, jumpers, ov- erals, knitted stockings, window cur
