ONE THOUSAND QUESTIONS ABOUT ALASKA ANSWERED
 IN FRAMES POCKET PILOT

The Sentinel has receievd a copy of Frames Alaska Pocket Pilot. '" In this book one thousand ques- tions on the most woefully misun- derstood country in the world are asked and answered.
 As everyone knows, one of the tasks of Alaskans during the past quarter of a century has been to answer the thousand and one ques- tions propounded to them by tour ists and letter writers. In order to enable Alaskans to find the short est way out of the dilemma the au- thor decided to print 1000 of the most common questions and their answers and bind them into book and then throw the book at 'em. "
 The idea of presenting informa- tion about Alaska in the form of printed questions and answers is a good one and will undoubtedly prove more enlightening to the readers than if the same informa- tion were presented in Story . Style"

J. A. MATTHEWS

The sad news was received the first of the week of the death oi J. A. Matthews which occurred in the sanitarium at Sedro Wooley
 Mir. Matthews came to Wrangell in 1925 and made his home with his daughter, Mrs. F. G. Hanford until three weeks ago when he left for Blaine. Washington. He was accompanied to that place by his son-in-law. F. c. Hanford A few days after his arrival in Blaine MT. Matthews decided to go to Seattle. Owing to his advanced age and feeble condition he attracted the attention of a patrolman who in- quired if he could be of any as- sistance. The patrolman found that Mir. Matthews had to some extent lost his memory. He distinctly re- membered leaving Wrangell, but he had no recollection of having left Blaine and did not know how he had gotten back to Seattle. The authorities communicated with rel atives here and they wished to bring him back to Wrangell, but after the exchange of several tele- grams it was decided to take him to a sanitarium at Sedro Wooley.
 Mir. Matthews was born in Ak ron. Ohio. TT years ago. He was a drum boy in the Civil War. He was in the printing and newspaper business for more than 50 years As a young man he worked as a printer in Chicago. During his life he engaged in the newspaper busi- ness in Nebraska. Wyoming, Utah, Florida and Cuba. His active career ended before he came to Wrangell, but his kindly manner caused every one to think of Dad" Matthews with tenderness and respect.
 The funeral and interment took place at Blaine, his former home.
 MT. Matthew was the father of eight children. He Is survived by only two of them, Mrs. F. G. Han ford and Mrs. Ethel Denny, both of Wrangell. He is also survived by eight grandchildren.

Four schools operated last year were closed for the current term, ana five new schools were opened. The schools discontinued were; Scow Bay, Deering, Ellamar and Kasilof. The Scow Bay district remained in existence but the students for merly attending there are being transported to Petersburg, where better facilities are available. The new schools opened were at Chil- koot, Riddiford, which is at the up- per end of Lake Kenai, near Sew ard, and False Pass, specials, and King Cove, regular district schools.
 There is a total of 254 teachers connected with the Territory's ed ucational system. Sixty-six of these are High School and 1SS elemen- ary school teachers. The former iave an average of six and one half years experience in their pro- fession, and the latter more than eight years. The High School at
 tendance is now 755, as compared with 71S last year. The enrolment this year is some Is or more larger than the current attendance, that many having departed or left school. There are ten special stu dents taking post graduate work.
 The kindegartens at Juneau and Ketchikan enroll 62 pupils and one other school reported in that sec tion. The elementary enrolment which is incomplete was 470. SeV- eral of the more remote schools have not submitted reports since the term opened and these will add ITS to 200 more to this figure. Three new plants have been added to the school buildings of the sys- tenn. New schools were built at Kodiak, King Cove and Fox; an old building purchased at Tanana was reeonditioned and altered to meet the requirements, and additional rooms were provided for the plants at Hoonah, Seldovia and Bethel.
