A school to be established this
summer in the Eskimo village of

Education, Interior Department, is
the outgrowth of voluntary work on
the part of two native girls from
Koyuk who had for three years at
tended Government school in an
other village. Though only in the
third grade themselves on their re-
turn home the girls, on their own in
itiative, organized a school of 80
persons, children and grown-ups,
none of whom could read or write.
The community built a log school
house, and there these 16-year-old
girls taught for eight months with
out remuneration. Good progress
was made by the pupils, and the bur-
eau will establish a school with a
regular teacher. Koyuk is located at
the head of Norton Sound in north

COAL MEN FOR
NEW MARKETS
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International NeHa Service

International News Service
MOUNT CARMEL, Pa. Nov. O.
With the fuel world as a spectator,
anthracite coal operators and union
miners met here today in a peace
conference" for the purpose of re-
facilitating lost markets.
The peace sessions, which will
last three days, present sharp con.
trast to conditions that existed here
two years ago, when the miners en-.
gagged in a bitter struggle due to the
anthracite strike. This year, the
miners and operators have Joined
hands seeking to restore cid markets
for coal to their joint profit. Moth.
ing quite like 1t has been attempted
by these two groups in many a year.
The opening session today will be
featured by the attendance of Gov.
John S. Fisher, Of Pennsylvania, and
OF Secretary Of Commerce Herbert
Hoover. Both will speak this after.
noon.
An unexpected feature may be a
visit from Mayor William Hale
Thompson, of Chicago, who has
made railroad reservations for a bat
talon from the army of flood relief
advocates, who accompanied him to
washington this week. Thompson
IS expected here tomorrow.
A note Of tragedy lies behind the
peace conference. The hard coal in
dustry, a billion-dollar giant at the
peak of its power, has wasted away
TO feeble invalid. A payroll that
totaled 100000, 900 a year in good
times has shrunk to barely a tenth
of that sum.
