ATTACKED CLEANLINESS STANFORD UNIVERSITY,
 STUDENT HUMILIATED

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-Mar- acled, pinioned and placarded, J. J. Collins, graduate student, who re- gently attacked the cleanliness of Stanford University in an article in a student paper, stood chained to a tree before the campus postoffice for nearly an hour, subject to jeers from a swarm of students. Pinned to his chest was a sign which read "J. J. Collins, traitor to Stanford. He is man without a college"

Had the Bureau of Education pro- vided the boy here in question with educational facilities equal to those provided by the city this problem would not have arisen. But in the case you submit the boy has passei the grades of the Bureau School. There are no facilities for his educa- tion except in the public school of the city and I do not doubt that he has legal right to attend that school and receive exactly the same treatment as is accorded other chil- dren.
 The opinion which you quote from the Commissioner of Education to the effect that the school board Is not legally bound to receive the boy in question is obviously based upon misapprehension of the facts
 Your communication makes ref erence to moral obligations as ap- plicable to the decisions of the School Board. It is manifestly outside the expert advice on any other subject than law. Nor shall I undertake tc do so. But since the problem seems to have arisen I may be permitted to suggest that the standards by which moral obligations are measured differ so much and are so largely dependent on personal sentiment or personal temperament that l have personally found no safer moral standard than that announced by Jesus of Nazareth, namely: Do to others as you would have others do to you.
 I may add that Petersburg is, so far as I know, the only city where Indian children, on account of their race, have been refused admission 70 the public schools where there were no other school opportunities avail able.

PETERSBURG SCHOOLS

endeavor to point out the unreason- able length to which our political enemies have gone in their effort to prejudice the public mind One of the statements used in the endeav- or to convict us of forcing "sick, dirty Indian children" into the Pub lie Schools had for it's basis the ap- plication of an Indian citizen in Petersburg who wished to send his boy to the Public Schol. The facts of that case are as follows:
 The guardian was himself an edu- cated Indian who had sent his boy through all the grades provided by burg On account of the many chil- dren in that school, it was not pos sible for the one teacher there to take this boy through the fifth and sixth grades. Consequently he was condemned to grow up in ignor- ance, and to spend his days on the street. He was such a bright boy, so clean and wholesome in his habits, that the teacher there felt that something should be done. He therefore went to the Lutheran Min ister, and presented the case. The Minister, who was also member of the School Board, looked into the facts and approved the application. But on bringing it up in Board meeting the other two members voted against him. The only req son which the other two members gave was as follows: "If we let this boy in we will have to let all other Indian children into the Pub- lie School"
 The School Board in trying to sus- tain it's position appealed to Lester D. Henderson, Commissioner of Ter ritorial Schools. This person in- formed them in letter that there was no foundation,' either legal or moral, to sustain the boys desire or application to enter the Territorial School in Petersburg. The School Board however, were afraid that since MT. Henderson was not the legal advisor in all matters for the Territory, wrote to Attorney General John Rustgard. The Attorney Gen. eral considered only the facts in this case. His opinion was that the boy had every right to apply to the Public School, and that he had every legal right to be accepted His opinion is set forth at length below. We wish to say at this point, how ever, that every lawyer who has studied the school question agrees on the legal principle involved, to- wit: The State or Territory must educate all children within it's limits by providing either the same or equal school facilities. That if the

 responsibility of educating the h. dian children of Alaska by saying that this work belongs to the United States Government. The primary responsibility belongs to the Terri tory. Any aid given by the Federal Government is a gratuity.
 Attorney Generals Opinion
 Juneau, Alaska,
 Nov. 10, 1924 MT. s. E. Baselly, Jr.,
 Petersburg, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 This is to acknowledge receipt of your communication of 27th ultimo, just received
 You inquire, presumably on be- half of the Petersburg School Board, whether a full-blooded native boy, for whom no educational facilities exists at the schools of the Federal Bureau of Education, must be re- ceived at the public schools of the city.
 Your question should, in my opin- ion, be answered in the affirmative. The authority, as we'll as the duty, of Municipalities over public educa tion is set out in Article V of Chap ter 97 of the laws of 1923-the codi- fication of the Municipal Laws. It is provided in Section 29 of that Act: Every city shall constitute school district, and it shall be the duty of the council to provide the same with a school house, and to provide the necessary funds to main tain public schools therein"
 For these purposes authority is given to levy general taxes. Not only are Indians and Whites, citizens and non-citizens, subject to such taxes, but the city has no legal au- thority to except any class of in- habitants from the payments of taxes, nor authority to relieve any property from liability to tax eN- cept such as is used for religious, educational or charitable purposes. It is very clear to me that the city has net authority to employ the public funds for the benefit of only one class or race of the inhabitants. A public school maintained under the authority above quoted must be open on the same terms to all alike. 1 know of no legal principle which would tolerate any discrimination based on color or race.
 It is true, of course, that city may maintain separate schools for the several races within it's borders When this is done, and the school for one race is just as good as the school for the other races, all are equally cared for and all are af- forded equal advantages. But the

Delirium fastened its fingers upon his
brain and he fought If off madly.
An impulse to make his presence
known to the savage, and thus invite
death, seized him For, after all, why
prolong his agony? Earth, sky, river,
rock or air afforded no means Of es-
cape. No human help was within a
hundred miles And yet-death at the
hands of an Apachel
Then a sudden thought came to the
man and faint smile quivered upon
his lips. Silently he raised once more
the pistol in his hand and pressed Its
chilly muzzle against his hot temple.
But in the sheen of sunlight falling
upon the turbulent bosom of the noun
tain stream, he saw the gold of a WON
ans hair, and in the tranquil azure of
the Arizona sky he saw the tender blue
OF a woman's eyes, and he let the
weapon drop upon the ground. And
after that he lay, as in daze, listen
ing to the singing of the river.
And as he listened he seemed to see
white farmhouse far up In the New
England hills, and sweet-faced wom-
an standing In the twilight watching
for some one.
Suddenly he was aroused by a rustic
in the grass In front of him. He raised
his head a trife and saw the Apache
leap to his feet and skulk away through
the grass. Then, upon the parched air
there was borne to him the hOof-beats
Of many horses, and a moment later he
was standing knee-deep in the grass,
gazing with mouth agape and eyes star
ing at long file of cavalrymen, in the
blue of the nation, approaching along
the narrow trail that followed the
course of the river, at their head, its
silken folds tapping defiantly in the
breeze, the American flag.
Slowly, alertly, the cavalrymen rode
along the almost invisible path, each
with his carbine ready for instant use
and each with his eyes searching the
brush and the underground for gleam-
ing rifle or tufted head.
And suddenly, in rounding sharp
turn in the trail, they saw the man.
His face was pallid, his eyes were few.
erishly bright, his clothes were clotted
with blood. He was standing in the
sparkling tide, dipping up the water in
his hands. And, as the soldiers ap-
preached, he raised his torn cap ard
the walls of Dead Mans canyon echoed
his thankful voice.

Interest ReUiUed in
Ancient Saxon Church

Chickney was thriving place in
the old days; but is has gradually de-
cayed till 1t can scarcely claim a
place on the map Yet the bishop of
Colchester came to reopen its church,
which had been closed for many years
and is fast falling into ruin.
Now, though Chickney is so small
and insignificant, its crumbling church
is one of the most notable in Essex,
for it was built under King Alfred
and has been standing over a thou
sand years. 1t is rare example of
unrestored Saxon architecture, and
the idea of the bishop holding a serv-
ice there was to revive interest in the
old building and take steps to pre-
serve 1t.
Generations of Chickney men have
worshiped there, as the bishop point
ed out. 1t is curious to note that such
names as Fitch, Chopping, Coe and
Baines occur for centuries in the par
ish registers and are still found
among the people of the four cot
tages.-Montreal Family Herald.

Find "Bluebeard" Had
Private Gold Mine

Most of the stories about Bluebeard
were due to the fact that he obtained
immense wealth from unknown
sources, says a writer in the Living
Age.
He was a cOnnoisseur of art, he
spent money like water and the rents
from his estates could not possibly
have supplied the funds for his ex-
penditures. Moreover, by the time
he was sixteen he had been engaged
to two young ladies, both of whom
died, and within three years he had
married third, who presently left
him.
Lately, however, the source of Blue
boards mysterious wealth has been
discovered Mineral prospectors find
that a rich vein of gold ran directly
underneath his castle. The mysterious
happenings in the alchemist's study
must have been largely the smelling
of this gold, which probably was OBJ
tanned by secret mining underneath
the castle in the dead of night. But

tunate baron after 400 yearsl

curiously creased crowns which are
