SCHOOL NOTES

The work of examining the school children was completed We'd nesday by Dr. Clark. Many inter- resting facts developed in the course of the work. Reports will be made to the parents some time during the coming week, on all cases needing attention.
 Ernest Bailey, a junior from Broadway High School, Seattle. en- rolled in the Wrangell High School Monday Three new enrollments are reported from the elementary school for the week.
 The class in Sociology made a survey of places in town needing to be cleaned up. This was done as part of the general Cleanup Campaign.
 The School Board of the city of Chicago has just requested the city council to place on the primary election ballot proposition to raise the tax levy for. school pur- poses from 19 F mills to 291s mills on every dollar of assessed valua- ton. This is exclusively for school purposes.
 In Wrangell the tax for all pur- poses is only 20 mills on two- thirds valuation basis For every dollar raised by the people of Wran- gell for school operating expenses, including teachers salaries, the territory of Alaska adds three dol airs. In other words, we pay only one-fourth of our own school costs.
 If we can't afford good schools, who can?

P0GATELL0 PAYS GLOWING
 TRIBUTE TO PROsPECTORS

Great men are those prospectors The world owes them much. In the first place, they are the world s greatest pioneers. They go into lonely places and remain there for years. When one prospect fails an- other is at hand. When one lead dwindles they calmly take after am other. It is always so. This fol- lowing the will o'the wisp would tire any but a prospector. No other race of men could stand it, could have the sustained courage.
 As we looked into the face of this old prospector we realized in small part what he had undergone, we thought what a debt Idaho owes to these men. It made us Eubly glad that Idaho mining was coming into it's own, that the fruits of this pros peeting was about to be gathered.
 Idaho is entering upon mining era greater than it has ever konwn. It owes it all to the intrepid pros peetors who went into the out of the way places and spent lonesome years in finding the ores. Idaho should erect a monument to tLeir memory so that all the world might know what they had done, and es- pecially that cur own children com ing on should know something of the men who blazed the way and went of the world to find wealth for us.-From the Pocatello (Idaho) Tribune.

Mrs. Jackson died and the future generals second wife was Anna Morrison, also a clergyman'a daughter. This union was an extreme ly happy one and the letter below is a happy reflection on their married life. Ii was written at the time of the de- feat of the Federal troops on the fields of Fredericksburg Jackson was rest ing with his troops and be also was expecting to hear of a new arrival at his home. So sacred did be consider these tidlngs to be that he gave orders that the announcement should not be transmitted by telegraph but sent to him by letter, and when the news of the birth of his daughter Julia arrived by messenger he took the letter and hurried away from his staff, telling none It's contents and leaving them to learn of the event from other sources Ills joy over the advent of his baby was boundless and he wrote to his wife:
 "How thankful am to our Heaven ly Father for having spared my pre- cious wife and given us a little daugh- ter. cannot tell how grateful I am, nor how much I wish 1 could be with you and to see my tWo darllngs. But while this pleasure Is denied me l am thankful 1t is accorded to you to have my little pet and hope 1t may be a great deal of company and comfort to Its mother. Now don't exert your self to write to me for to know that you were exerting yourself to write would give me more pain than the let ter would pleasure, so you must not do It. But you must love your esposo in the meantime.

Don't you wish that your husband wouldn't claim any part of 1t, but let you have the sole owner shipI Don't you regard 1t as the most precious little creature in the worldf Do not spoil 1t and do not let anybody tease It. Don't permit it to have a bad temper. How I would love to have the darling little thlngl Give her many kisses from her father. . |.
 "I am so thankful to our ever kind Heavenly Father for having 50 im- proved my eyes as to be able to write at night He continues to shower blessings upon me; and that you should have been spared and our darS ling little daughter given us, fills my heart with overfowing gratitude.

The easiest person In the world to deceive is oneself.
 We sometimes pray for more grace when what we need Is more grit.
 It Is easier to begin at the bottom than to keep from ending there.
 We never knew of a man catching cold from leaving off his bad habits.
 It Is easier to sit In the lap of lux ury than to stand up and be a man.
 It takes pretty smart man to utfl- tze one-half the things he learns.
