Cummins for his pains.

on SeptemDer 2nd, the 1Snlng boats of these men were seized for unlawful fishing. And then the United States District Attor- ney made sporting proposition" He said, If you will plead guilty and take a $4OO fine plus costs and release the fish money I will agree to release your boats and gear, but otherwise, we will hold the boats for action in the District Court"
 The joke of the sporting propo- sition" (outside of the fact that the men took particular pains to obey the law by asking the watch man what time it Was) is that we had no district judge in this divis- ion and even tho the men were innocent, the government would deprive them of the use of their boats until long after the fishing season was over.
 Even if the court decided that they were innocent, they would have been punished by BEING DEPRIVED OF THEIR RIGHT TO EARN A LIVING IN ALASKA.
 The men paid the fine under protest, and altho they are asking the district court to review their 'ase, their chances are slim be- cause THE GOVERNMENT WILL. NO DOUBT RESIST.
 The form of the law must be upheld tho the children of inno- cent men starve

 morning) several seine boats were looking for salmon in KlaWock In let west Prince of Wales Island. Among these were Maxfield Dal- ton, Benson Skulka and Tom Hob son. It being before six o'clock, they waited.
 At very nearly the hour Of six when it would be lawful to fish for commercial purposes, Dalton approached James Ross, the stream WatChman for the Bureau of Fish cries. He asked Ross What time is it by your clock?" Ross refused to answer but continued cruising around. Dalton asked again, What time is it? Is it six o'clock yet?"
 Ross told him to go to H---l, T Gm not supposed to give you the time. Use your own time"
 Immediately thereafter, the clock of Dalton's boat showing twenty minutes past six, he made a set.
 Ross then moved over by Hob- son who also asked him the time. Ross again cursed him and told him to fish by your own time" Immediately thereafter Hobson r1ode his set.
 Benson Skulka saw Hcbson talk ing with Ross and then making a set so he felt sure that his clock Showing a time after six) was cor rect. Ross immediately took down Skulka's name
 A member of the crew, Cummins. got into a boat and rowed over to Ross and asked him why he had taken their names Ross cursed him. But Cummins persisted, and finally Ross said that they had f1shed before six. Cummins then said, While the matter is fresh, come to our boat and compare your watch with our clock and see if we are off for our clock shows after six" But Ross again cussed

A PERSONAL NOTE

have been criticized many times for my unfair" attitude to can nery men, these critics forgetting that the cause exists.
 For example, when the Verbus Unitas was about to be seized for illegal fishing, Lindenberger of the Sea Coast Packing Company, told the men Hurry up and get your fish off before the government seizes your boat" This was done
 Then the government proposed to release the boat and net if the captain would plead guilty and take a $4OO f1ne You can see that this was all to the good for Lin denberger who owned the gear. The captain said he was innocent, but the canneryman said, Don't be foolish. I'm your friend I give you the groceries. You plead guilty and I won't forget you."
 The men moved off the boat of course The men were broke and GCme of them in a strange town. They asked Lindenberger for $500 10 get something to eat Linden berger said, T won't give you a cent
 The men found an empty and dirty shack and there they slept on the ground and begged meals at the restaurant until permitted to go by the kind" hearted Bureau of Fisheries.
 It only takes few Lindenbergers to create public sentiment.

These schools all employ one teacher each with the exception of Bethel. where a second teacher vas added this year and first year high school work inaugurated.
 Although complete statistics on enrollment had not been complet- ed at the time of his departure from Juneau, Mr. Henderson stat. ed that the enrolment of pupils in the schools during the past year shows a material increase ov- CT the previous year. The increase in the number of pupils Is specially marked in Southeastern Alaska notably at Juneau. Ketchikan and Petersburg. More than 500 pupils are now enrolled in the Ketchikar schools.

made material progress during the ten year period ended in 1927, is indicated by statistics compiled in the office of the commissioner of education. covering that period. These figures show a growth of 27 per cent in the number of schools, an increase of 49 per cent in the number of teachers. an increase in general enrolment of 40 per cent with a l15 per cent increase in the high school enrolment. and a growth of 113 per cent in the number of elementary school grad uates. Expenditures increased from
 S212,904.s2 to s509,915.37, the increased cost being largely occas- toned by material growth all though a considerable portion may be charged to better salaries for t, achers and the general decreased purchasing power of the dollar.
 One of the most encouraging fea- lures of school progress at the present time. according to Mr. Henderson, is the interest which many communities are taking in the matter of providing better school buildings and equipment. Last year ketchikan erected a S5N.O0O elementary school building in the White Clif addition of that city. Fairbanks constructed a school gymnasium building with classrooms on the second floor. and Sitka completed $25,000 frame school building. At the pre- sent time Juneau is erecting a $1OO.OOo concrete high school building. while Seward recently voted s50,0o0 in bonds for school building purposes. Among the creased attention to physical edu- cation. music and vocational sub iects such as manual training. home economics, and commercial high school courses.
 MT. Hender rson expressed himselfl as highly pleased with the condi- tion of the Nome schools and the spirit with which teachers and pu- pills are undertaking the work of the new school year. He reports that transportation of mail by air plane has been of much value in the administration of the schools through providing more rapid and satisfactory means of contact, es- pecially during the spring months following the breakup.
 Serving Sixth Term
 Mir. Henderson is now entering upon his twelfth year of service as Commissioner of Education for Alaska. having been first appointed to the position by the Territorial Board of Education in May. 1917.

The office is non-political one. In ad- opting this method of filling the position of Commissioner of Edu- cation the Territorial Legislature was guided by the practice in Con- necticut. Delaware. Idaho, Maine Maryland, Massachusetts. Minneso- ta. New Hampshire. New Jersey New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Wyoming. where the position is appointive and non-political in- stead of elective as in the otheI States.
