CHILD INSPECTOR
VISITS every STATE
IN HEALTH CRUSADE

A woman who knows children from
Washington to Texas and across the
continent, up the Atlantic coast and
all the other states, is Miss Nora L..
REYNOLDS Of New York City, who was
a caller for short time Monday In
the city. Miss Reynolds is field secre-
tary of the child health education
service of the National Health Asso-
citation and she is visiting every state
in the Union, to make a revaluat1on OIL
the work which is being done espe-
cially in the schools and more espe-
cially the aptitude of the teachers in
aiding in putting over the work Whlle
the plan of the movement embodied
in the Modern Health Crusade move
ment, which was originated by an as
ISOLATION worker and inaugurated in
1917, is a readymade proposition and
the child can carry out the idea by
following the instructions from the
head source, nevertheless, as Miss
Reynolds pointed out, so much de-
ponds upon TIE attitude of the teacher
and her aptitude in the work.
Miss Reynolds has Just returned
from a trip to the Pacific coast and
she was much impressed by the sturdy
children, especially in Oregon and in
Washington. The children OF Utah
are also healthy and good looking, as
the Mormons take excellent care OF
their young. She repeats that the
children of the city are, for the most
part, healthier than the children OF
the country. This is SO often true
because the rural children do not have
their defects corrected and do not
have the strict care which the city
children have in hygiene.
1T is just as much disgrace to a
teacher if her pupil cannot pass
health test as it is if he fails in his
arithmetic test" is Miss Reynolds be-
lief tuberculosis germs are found
TO a great extent in children, and the
health program is preventive one. to
get rid Of these germs While the child
is young. Many of the breakdowns
later in life are traced to this source,
whether or not the child was attended
to in tfat early stage. Miss Reynolds
has visited 80 states since last April.
Miss Reynolds passed Monday in in
terview with DR.. A. O. Thomas, State
commissioner of education. She is en-
deavoring to ascertain if the present
plan of the Modern Health Crusade Is
meeting with the APPROVAL of the
school authorities of the nation. If
not, what sort Of health education
work they desire. She is of the opin-
ion that a health program in the
teachers training schools is a most
important part of the curriculum. The
Maine Modern Health Crusade work is
in charge of Miss Abbie Buck.
Miss Reynolds left late Monday for
Gorham. where she will visit the nor
NAL school. From there she will go to
Portland to visit the city schools. And
then she goes to New Hampshire on a
similar mission.

IN MEM ORIAM
Asa Russell Boardman

During the early part of Friday
March q. 1925, Gods finger touched
him and he slept
From the earliest remembrance of
childhood and intimate acquaintance
through the various paths Of life
which he trod the writer learned the
amiability and sweetness of character
which clothed Mr.. Boardman as a gar
ment, and to appreciate his personal
worth.
Of gentle nature, he easily drew &C
quaintances to himself in bonds of
friendship and esteem wherever fate
cast his lot.
OF quiet habits and delicate SENSIBLE
tiles, he never obtruded himself any
where.
He was true gentleman in the
highest and best sense Of that term.
His cheerful disposition. grace Of man.
ner and charm or speech won your i'm
mediate respect and admiration.
After IS years of married life the
silver cord is broken; his devoted and
loving wife is left to sense the terri
BILE loss that has come to her out of
and after these many years OF con-
slant companionship.
To his acquaintance will remain
the pleasant memories of this dear
man and the flavor of his lovable
traits will be like incense floating
through their homes.
Calmly he looked on either life, and
here
Saw nothing to regret. or there to fear;
From natures temp'rate feast rose
satisfied;
Thanked heaven that he had lived, and
that he died"
! And now that this sweet spirit has
| found surcease from pain and suffer-
J ing,
| Farewell! A word that must be and
hath been
| A sound which makes US linger; yet
farewell"

Much Work Will Be Done In Anthracite District

Much interest is manifested in the recent announcement by a group in terested on Anthracite Ridge, 12 miles from Chickaloon, that considerable prospecting work will be done this summer A party in which will be included J. J. Corey, head of the Blu reau of Mines department for this district, will depart from Anchorage about June 1, according to a report received yesterday by the Gateway.
 Several permits have been taken out in that district during the last year, the holders of whom will put a couple of experienced mining men on the ground to do development work as outlined by Engineer Corey. This work will continue until it. is ascer- tained that the coal is there in quan- titles to warrant going ahead on a larger scale. It is the intent of those interested to bring out next winter at least two carloads of the high quality coal for an experimental To- comotive test on the Alaska railroad
 In order to do this the coal will have to be freighted three miles down from the ridge to the Matanuska river, where it will be piled until the freeze

up at which time wagons will bring it down the river to the Chichaloon branch line
 Providing the coal is found in suf- ficient quantities, it will be mined and placed on the Alaskan market. Owing to it's extremely high grade, it is stated the coal will find a ready sale. Anthracite coal on the Pacific coast retails from s19 to s23 ton. Due to it's hardness it is said to burn con- siderably longer than bituminous coal. Ample water power is avail able on the ridge for all purposes but the ridge being above timber line, the country is barren.

Crew of Superior Oil Company Arrive Soon

A newspaper received here from San Francisco bearing date of April 27, gives the following information concerning oil activities in this sec tion:
 "The H. F. Alexander sailed this week with a dozen or more of Cali fornia's oil we'll experts who are bound for Alaska. Additional experts from this territory have booked pas sage at the local office of the Pacific Steamship Company for Seattle on other vessels of the line to sail with in few days. These men will go to Seward and proceed to the Chicka- loon district, near the government railway, where prospects for oil are very good.
 "E. c. Grant McMicken, now at Se- attle, passenger manager for the Pa cific Steamship Company, says that there may be an unusual travel of oil men to the north territory this sum- mer.
 "Oil rigs and other apparatus to be used in prospecting are to be shipped north in the near future as big oil operators such as the Standard Oil Company and the Associated Com pany are now drilling on leases.
 Tt is understood that the General Petroleum Company will start active work in that territory as soon as the equipment can be shipped.
