Tuliksak and Ahiachak will serve dis tricts where educational facilities have not been available previously. Those at Sleitmute and Quinhagak will replace old buildings. One hun dred or more pupils will be enrolled in the new schools.
 "On the west coast between the mouths of the Yukon and Kusko- kwim,'' Mir. Garber said, "the people are probably the most primitive in tine world. Their condition is not gen, erally known to the public because it is only infreque ltly that white men travel throcgh there. They have no educational or medical facilities and are in sore need of both. They need II schools at least. The two new. ones we are building this summer. will serve part of that country. They are going to be built at places where the largest number of pupils can be en- rolled. In all, there are probably 800 children in the district who have no means of acquiring .education."'' The request for funds to build these needed schools, MT. Garber add- ed, is now in the hands of the budget committee of Congress, and arrange ments will be made to build the schools just as soon as appropriations are provided"
 ! This is Mr. Garber's fourth year at Akiak. Before going there he was at Cape Prince of Wales for three years. Before going to Akiak he held the chair of biology at Capitol Uni- versity, Columbus, Ohio.
 The building program for the fu- ture, said Mir. Garber, calls for schools at Nicoli. on the upper Kus- kowim, Cheechingamute, Kapenuk, Kwiguk, Nunapitsook and Choquaak- lott, all in the western coastal dis | trict, and Tukchuk, Chogamute and Holikachaket, on the Yukon.
 Plans are also under consideration to provide medical relief for the Me- Grath area by stationing a travelling doctor or nurse there.

California Grapes.
(NeW York World.)

Section 1 of the Vostead Act defines intoxicat- ing liquor any liquid compound, "by what ever name called" containing one-half of per cent more of alcohol by volume
 Section 29 of the Volstead Act exempts from this definition only "nonntoxcating cider and fruit juices" manufactured in private homes but such cider and fruit juices shall not be sold delivered except to persons having permits to manufacture vinegar
 Section Is of the volstead Act makes it illegal ito advertise manufacture, sell possess for sale any uensil, contrivance, machine, preparation, com pound tablet, substance formula direction recipe advertised, designed intended for in the lawful manufacture of intoxicating liquor"-namely, liquor containing one-haf of per cent more of alcohol by volume
 We do not profess to speak lawyers, but it seems to us that there is ample power here for the Government to act, if wishes to act, in the of those growers of California grapes who d.s tribute to many purchases nnocuous juice companed by precise instructions concerning an easy way to turn this juice into wine with alcoholic content of much 10 12 per cent
 The obvious fact, of course, is that the Govern ment does not wish to act. Not only has the Fed eral Farm Board extended credits of S16OO0OO0 to various California grape growers; not only is the industrious Mabel Walker Willebrandt counsel for some of these grape growers; in addition, the Hoov CT Administration is plainly in no mood to extend Ito field its activities in behalf of law which is already giving it end of trouble As a result there is great haze in Washington concerning the legality of this California enterprise The Com missioner of Prohibition steadfastly refuses to init himself to whether a crime has been com mtted or a benefit conferred
 Thanks to the preposterousy inadequate funds appropriated by Congress for enforcement and the gradual narrowing of the field of Federal activities by successive Federal administrations large part of the Vostead Act has been effectively nullified by the Government itself. Only the great hypocrisy survives.

the United States Senate. During the past term the senior Senator from Idaho has been accepting S7500 per year for his services to his country while his co-workers have raked in $10,000
 It wasn't because of any cut rates imposed on him by Congress, the President anyone except himself that this the When Congress boosted it's pay Senator Borah declined to accept the raise. He maintained he had been elected by his constituents to a job paying $7,50O and he had right to be party to paying him self more T do not feel that I could accept an increase in good faith without giving them an opportunity to express themselves" he said at the time
 So far we know this wasn't made an issue during the recent election. Senator Borah .e- elected by a majority of about 10000 votes more by 15,000 than some of his friends predicting. So even if the question of a raise in wages wasn't directly made a part of the campaign, believe he is entitled to the advance. Not many people could really understand his unwillingness to accept the higher rate during his current term, and tainly there will be to criticize him for doing when he begins the next one.

A National Delinquency.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

The White House Conference Child Health and Protection just has completed its survey Ac- cording to this important and interesting official investigation there 1500,0O0 gifted children of superior intelligence in the public and private schools of the United States comprising about 6 per cent. of the school population.
 It is the conclusion of the surveys report that if these children, who the Nations most prec- ious potential assets, to be developed to their full capabilities, they should be placed in special classes, with greatly enriched curriculum, yet only four thousands of them, less than one-half of one cent, have such advantages
 Such situation almost passes belief, but this authority is incontestibe. The survey insists that failure to provide them has led to present con- dtions under which many gifted individuals who might have made valuable contributions to the tional life are "in penitentares and many at large who are working for their selfish in terests to the detriment of the common good"
 We justly proud of many achievements by the common schools of America, but the lament able fact remains that they far short of what they should be. In Cincinnati this criticism does not obtain with the force that must be admitted to be applicable to many other urban centers Gin cinnati public and private schools long have been recognized to be educational models
 But the literacy of the country generally is not something to be proud of; rather is it of evil omen for the future. The Great War opened our eyes to this fact It is danger which should be defended against by every resource and power of the States and the general Government; and in case of those school children who by nature are more gifted than others they should be delivered from every retarding agency and obstacle, their forward course made free and unimpeded.

A FINE TYPE OF BUREAUCRACY.

Former President Coolidge remarked that of all forms of Government bureaucracy is the worst Like all general rules, this one, which is true in all too many respects is subject to excep tions when applied to specific instances.
 One such case is brought to mind by the annual report of the United States Coast and Geodetic Sur vey recently made public by the Secretary of Com merce This is a bureau of the very highest type. Its mission is to make navigable waters safe for travel by charting channels discovering and making known the whereabouts of Instructions to navigation, assembling data essential not only to navigation the high but in harbors, in the development of ports, and in other highly useful work
 It is only in comparatively recent times that Alaska has into contact with this organization. Under the late Col. E. Lester Jones, who was the first Director of the bureau to fully recognize the pressing need for surveys in Alaskan waters, the modern charting of this coastline and it's water ways was launched. His successor Capt. R. s. Patton, has continued unabated the work Col Jones initiated. To him, well to Col Jones, and the men who are engaged in the actual performance of the bureaus work, often at the risk of personal safety, Alaska owes a great debt of gratitude
