GIRLS A YEARS OLD CONDUCT
 SCHOOL IN ARCTIC
U. s. OFFICIAL SAYS INCIDENT PROVES NATIVES CRAVE 3D.
 ucATION

From the outskirts of civilization, in the ice-bound Arctic, comes a story of heroism and devotion to the ideals of education that stands as an epic, even in the far north where such things occur with frequency, according to Dr. J H. Wagner, Chief of the Alaska division, U. s. Bureau of Educa tion Education is a light to the Alaskan Indians, that sheds it's rays thru the long winter night, as we'll as the bright summer day. And when one of the natives acquir- es a bit of learning, the remainder of the village profits by it.
 Two 14-yearold Eskimo girls had been attending school ir a nearby village Altho they had only reached the third grade, on returning to Koy- uk, their home, situated north of the mouth of the Yukon, they organized a school, the men of the village erected log cabin and the two third-grade students became teachers to impart their wonderful learning to men. women and children of the settlement.' Koyuk is on Norton Sound, an ice bound region north of the Yukon. When F. L. Range, dis trict superintendent passed thru the village with his sled and II dogs he saw the third-grade teachers con- ducting classes for the benefit of
 adults and children.
 With such spirit Uncle sams
 educators delight to deal. Range recommended establishing a school at Koyuk. When the Boxer sails for
 the north on it's next journey, in
 June, 2 portable schoolhouse for
 Koyuk will be part Of the cargo.
 Fred Walker, native, and father of five children, will be the teacher.
 The two disciples of learning whose
 example brought the school to Koy- uk will be enrolled as students that
 they may pursue their studies.
 Heavier ice exists in the Arctic cir
 cle and Boring Sea this year than in
 many years, according to Wagner.
 The steamship Victoria. to sail north
 in June. en route 10 Nome, is gather ing data on the ice fields. So much
 ice has been encountered that fear exists that some of the settlements regularly visited by the Boxer may
 have to be abandoned to their own resources this winter.
