A preponderant majority of the people of the Territory are exhibiting an intelligent and sympathetic interest in the Commissions effort to build up our fur-bearing animals, and this is no small factor in giving them a success full trend" he said.

WHAT ALASKA NEEDS

The Mormon elders who recently passed through Petersburg left ! long interview with the Seward Gate way which is of more than passing interest. We quote a very impor- tant paragraph from the interview in view of the more than passing in- terest in the children of Alaska.
 The article published was titled Native Crop of Children Great Need. Whether the crop is of h. dian or Caucausian extraction makes not one whit of difference. Children are anchors, which hold those af- fiicted with wanderlust, in one com munity, more or less.
 We find a great dearth of child ren in Alaska. Family life is one of the great needs. There are too many mon in Alaska neglecting the respon- sibility of family life. Home and fam fly are the only sources of perman- er1y and greatness for any country. This has been sadly neglected in Alaska. But for the neglect there would be today thousands of young m0n and women, born and reared in Alaska fighting her battles and sol wing her problems who would make her the greatest of commonweaIths which she is destined to become :"

Something like 27,000 white, vel low and black residents in Alaska when the last census was taken and some 26,O0O Indian" or Native las some preferred to be called. Tn our past few decades of life in Alas kf we figure that a few hundred thousand whites, etc, have come in to Alaska and returned to the States leaving the population smaller than three decades ago. There is a req son:
 Alaska is a land of opportunity. a quick grubstake to small fortune or life of ease. People come to Alas kd with the one idea only-get that quick stake and go outside where it can be spent to easier advantage. Permanency is no object-but a small proportion of those coming in to Alaska build their homes with the object of staying.

 Enclosed send you tiger. Chi n"se speak of four tigers-the vel lew and black tiger, the black tiger, tho white tiger and the money god IOflWealth. The white tiger is a sign of bad luck so is never seen in pie lures. From childhood the Chinese fear the tiger. He is made buga-
 poo to frighten children. If naughty they are told the "Lao-hu' (tiger) will catch them So tiger" is al ever present fear to the little Chimes not only but it remains to old age, rather as an evil spirit than as tig ger As one goes along the roads he sees paper tigers pasted over the dcor, that the evil spirits, seeing the ticar will flee away to tigerless hoNse. Chinese have great faith in tiger bones, claws and sinews as medicine. Since the tiger is so strong, medicine made of him must make one strong Travelling medi- cine men with tiger skins stretched on poles as sign-boards rarely wait long for purchasers of their wares

\ PERTINENT QUESTION

The above brief biography of Sen ator Curtis brings forth a pertinent question: Had Curtis been barred fro-n the public schools and compelI ed to attend reservation schools maintained by the federal govern mtnt would he have become the na tional figure he is today?
 The disadvantage of governmental paternalism, educational or in any ther manner has been emphasized by Indian educators for many years
 No race was ever won without q considerable effort; no records broken except in keen competition Tn Indian education, we ask the In- dian youth to compete with himself 'n line that is foreign to him-for- ei%n by environment and previous condition. He is set apart and made to feel that he is different and he must take centuries, or at least several generations to step in- to the same educational system as other races.
 Reservations have been set aside fer him, school systems also and ev- cry effort is made to keep him an entity as a race. Segregation tendr tc keep tribal habit, custom, ideals anc ambitions which the American melting pot'' tries to eradicate when Immigrants come to our shores. In- sttcd of holding them in racial en- titles the year made to forget old country ideas and languages. The public school is the universal vehicle which carries out the idea The country is better for it.
 Contrary to all spirit of the found CTS of our country, we continue to se2regate the Indian, on reservations and in schools and yet demand as much of him in spite of his environ ment as of other races.
 The future of a potential citizen is at stake. To force him into en- vironment not conducive to the most rapid progress is hurt not only to the individual but to the country.
