EDUCATING THE INDIAN

Until recently, the courses of fered Indians were all of elemen- tary grades. No complete high school courses were taught for them until 1921, and then only at one school In 1925, three such courses were added; one was added in 1926 and a fifth in 1927. The increase during the last three years in the. number of pupils junior, and senior grades-has been by 1,178 in the former and by 526 in the latter. There are now only six institu- tions maintained by the Federal Government where Indians may receive a high school education. Elementary and junior high school courses are also taught in these institutions, the senior high school grades constituting only one department. There is not an Indian school in the United States that is strictly a high school.
 Contrast these conditions with the educational advantages of fered the white population. Dur ing the last decade high school enrolment in the United States has increased from 1,60O,0OO to 100000. There are enrolled in colleges, universities, and other institutions of higher learning nearly a million young men and women, and untold thousands of youths and adults attend night and continuation schools
  The enrolment in the public high schools in the United States is approximately one to ev cry six pupils of school age, while among Indians it is only l to every 20. The aggregate number of Indians in institu- tions of higher learning or who are pursuing extension courses is negligible le-Report of the Se- cretary of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 1928.

of that road and policy should rear up on it's dignity and op- pose the. very idea proposed by MT. Ohlson for the successful settlement of that district is in excusable.
 It is not long since MT. Ohlson advocated and secured support from departmental Washington to permit settlers to use the tim Der holdings on the lands in the Railroad belt; to settle on them; to carve out homesteads and in the doing of it they would make their expenses by the sale of the timber. And to assist in the cutting of the timber and it's re- moval from the lands, the rail- road is lending it's equipment to the settlers.
 The railroad belt is not a bit richer in timber lands and other resources than the First Divi- sion If the withdrawal of tim Der as is being done under the Ohlson plan in the railroad dis trict-the Hungerford plan in tlle First Division-then every thing being equal, the plan ad- vocated by MT. Hungerford is just as tenable and practical as that put in force in the Anchor age district by Mir. Ohlson of the Alaska Railroad.

LAW ENFORCEMENT


 After watching the ways of justice in the land, we have come to the conclusion that laws should be enacted separately for 1 the rich and the poor; that the poor should sit in judgment upon the rich and the rich sit in judg- ment upon the poor.
 This thing we call good citi- zenship," decent citizenship and better class" of citizens is a lot of hooey. The breakdown is due to the blindness of justice when Jarie, rich, or related to richness goes off and violates the laws of the land, the laws of morals and decency. Because of his position his defection from the paths of good citizenship ere overlooked. But Ole comes 2long, in from a fishing trip, and )ut for a good time, follows MT. Jarie's footsteps and is pinched forthwith, and being broke, gets 50 days.
 Spootigan takes a girl in her teens, contributes to her delin- ! quency and even has her deliver !ng moonshine; on occasion she mas been tanked. Because he has certain influence, he is allowed to contribute to the delinquency of minor. But Jerry comes along and gives a girl couple of shots of shine and her father has him arrested and he gets SO days. The father a notorious ewack hound has kept his girl out of school, she has gone wild and over the bounds of decency with any number of other men, but Jerry foots the bill and sat- isfles justice demanded in this case.
 Thieving, deliberate thieving by miscreants known to the pub lie are left alone. They do not even receive the kindly help of a Big Brother. Money from cash rills,, tools, equipment from ma chinery running into hundreds of dollars, lifted and peddled and not even warning given. Hush ing crimes is aiding and abetting crimes and in violation of the law of the land. Jimmie pliers 75 cents because he wanted lit tie nicknacks dear to the heart of any boy and he, an orphan. Justice steps in and sends Jim mic to reform school for a term not under six years.
 The skeptical citizen says: I Justice be damned. The laws are crooked, the courts are crooked; the whole judiciary system is crooked. To - with the whole outfit"
 And not the courts; not the judicial system or enforcement officers are to blame. It roots right back to Mister Good De- cent Citizen who through pull, power or intrigue, is able to se- cure to himself favors which are withheld from the lessor for tunate citizen.

 accorded an amendment to the Constitution in many years. Offi- cials high in authority and con- ndence of the nation are com blaming of the failure of the law to achieve the results which 1t was hoped would eventuate from it's enactment. The blame is placed largely on the lax meas ures and faulty machinery of enforcement. Added to this diff f1culty is the fact that several States possess no State laws pro- hibiting the traffic in intoxic- ants, and the other States fail to enforce their laws adequate ly. This places an impossible burden on the Federal enforce ment unit. These facts plus the popular belief that many governmental officials who favor prohibition as legislative meas ure are revealed from time to time as given to personal con- sumption of intoxicants have created a widespread public disbelief in the possibility of en- forcement of the act.
 And this is not a fact to be lightly passed over with serene optimism. The press at large reflects the attitudes of those who oppose prohibition, and they are active to embitter the popu- lar mind against the 18th Amendment. Varied and subtle forms of propaganda are en- ployed in this campaign against the national prohibition amend ment. People of prominence in the social and business world op- enly state their disapproval of the law and assert that some plan should be substituted for the present law.
 Few of these individuals, how ever; have formulated any defin ite laws or plans for altering the present system for the better Most of the noise of opposition is largely devoted to rebelling against the law in a highly emo tional and prejudicial fashion. Concrete plans for solving the social issues which hinge on the solution of the liquor problem in this or any country are conspic- uous by their absence.
 The cry is that we are develop ing nation of those without respect for law, that children should be taught to drink as gentlemen and ladies" and much additional twaddle. This is said in face of the obvious benefits derived in the realm of industry, community welfare and by the homes of the majority of the American people. Again, these alarms are raised after prohibi- tion has had a brief ten year in terval in which to try it's mettle. The. most deep rooted customs and economic factors entrenched in our American life are altered by law, and the law is accorded only ten years in which to pfc:e 100 per cent successful! We sJc,- geSC that no law IS enfOrceI to perfection and that we shou'' be surprised if any iaws wei sj enforced.
 In this dilemma. the average citizen recognizes tt.a fact that the present law is highly unsat- isfactory and that better ma chinery for enforcenle1.. is need ed. Tn spite of the hue and cry he believes that national prohi- bition is the answer to the li- quor problem and that mach inery for enforcement is needed. Greater good should accrue to the more effective enforcement

POLICIES AND FORESTS" From Anchorage Times Replying to E. $. HungerfOrd, III
 The Alaskan.

AnC lAASkJnSOhs
 A contributor to the columns of The Alaskan, a weekly publi- cation of Petersburg, thinks the timber conservation policy of the government in Alaska is all wrong, that ''in the eyes of God, a land is not fulfilling it's des- tiny unless His people are living contentedly upon it; that set tier and his family toiling for their living from the land would carry more weight before His Tribunal than a thirty-million- dollar pulp company" Excep- tion is taken to the withdrawal of the timber lands of the terri tory from entry and to the pro- posal to lease large areas with exclusive privilege of harvesting pulp timber. The writer says he fails to see any conservation in the policy outlined by the for est service; he fails to see why lit is necessary to hold the timber lands of Alaska in immense tax exempt reserves; he fails to see "how Alaska is ever going to be other than a wilderness, a play thing of politicians, a stench in the nostrils of any man or Wo- man who understands and real izes the tradition and principles upon which our government was founded, unless people are allow ed to come here and build their own homes" Tn his opinion, the people the pulp companies bring to Alaska to harvest the timber will never be more than a trans tent labor, like the present can nery help.
 This writer would permit every citizen to file on land, timber or otherwise, and obtain patent to it. He would let him clear such of the land as he might need and the revenue from the sale of timber taken from the land, un- der direction of the forest ser vice, would be his, to sustain him while he gets his start. He would even permit the land eventually to pass into the hands of pulp companies, providing the cutting of the timber by them is supervised by the government. He sees no great evil in the pulp companies owning the land, for the reason that under the pre- sent policy the companies will have all the privileges of owner ship without any of the respons- ibilities, and the immense par cels of land allotted to them will be definitely withdrawn from settlement, at least until the timber is cut"
 There may be something to the argument that throwing the timber lands open would attract settlers to the forest areas, par ticularly if there seemed to be a chance of turning the locations over to the pulp interests within a reasonable time for SubStan- tlal price. But there would be no assurance that the settlers" would remain in the country any longer than the workers the pulp interests would need to harvest the timber crop, or that the money they obtained from the sale of timber would be as help full to the territory as a whole as the revenues will be which the government will collect from the pulp companies under the leas- ing plan. There are ways, no doubt, in which the policies of the forest service can be improv- ed but it is a waste of time to argue for the restoration of tim Der lands to entry in the way suggested for the reason that
