First Diffusion Opposed to Agricultural College
 Expenses

One reason why the people of the First Division demand of their Legislative representa- tives that they keep the appro- priations to the Fairbanks Agri- cultural College to something within reason, is because of the tendency of President Charles E. Bunnell to indulge in inexcus- able extravaganza. To run the college, with a permanent en- rollment of about 70 pupils, he has faculty of g, who receive as high as $4,5OO salary per school year. Salaries for the young professors, with two or three exceptions, run from $3000 to $3750 per school year. And then Dr. Bunnell, who devotes a large part of his time to lobby, ing, receives a salary of $6000 per annum: and travelling and sustenance expenses.
 When the 1929 session of the Legislature convened, the mem bers were furnished some fig ures concerning the College, that are more than usually interest ing. They show that the enroll ment for the school year 1927- 1928 was 83 in all courses of college grade; 171 in summer session; 109 in short courses of ten weeks, and 1 graduate stu dent. Excluding applications the total enrolment was 175, but the average attendance is not given. The total operating expenses of the College for that year was $83, ,906, making the cost per
The Alaska fisherman., 1930-04-15

And all this hocus pocus up- On the part of Doctor Bunnell raises the question whether he is not the means of causing great injury to the Agricultural College. The people of Alaska think, even though the great dictator regards them as asleep most of the time.
The Alaska fisherman., 1930-04-15

And of course that good, staunch Democrat, Dr. Bunnell, is using all his influence to have his political followers enter the Republican primary, and vote for John Rustgard for the nomina- tion of Delegate to Congress. And of course he is using his inf1u- ence to defeat the renomination of Senator Will A. Steel, for he holds him responsible for the cut in the College appropriations during the two past Legislative sessions. Senator Steel believes in greater economy at the Col lege but he was instrumental in seeing that the Territory gave greater school refunds to the incorporated districts.
 In the last session he was re- sponsible for raising the refunds to Ketchikan and Juneau from $30,000 per year to $40,000, with a proportionate increase to all the smaller towns in the Terri tory. In the 1927 session Repre- sentative William L. Paul had the House pass the bill that largely increased all school re- funds, and Senator Steel cham pioned the bill through the Sen- ate And because of these in creased refunds all towns in the Territory have been able to maintain better schools without increased taxation. But of course that means nothing to Dr. Bun nel. He is only interested in his pet hobby.
The Alaska fisherman., 1930-04-15

010, or including the total en- rollment of 175 the cost per student was $479. For the 1928- 1929 school year, when the op- erating expense was $100,256, the enrolment and attendance is not available but is reported to be less than the previous year. l;his would make the average cost per student regular course considerable over $1,000 per student.
 And what a difference there is in the cost of running the public schools of the Territory. The towns of Anchorage, Cordova, Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan, Petersburg and Wrangell, with an enrolment of 2,477, were op- crated at total expense of $235,116, or an average cost of $94.92. Ketchikan had the !a g. est enrolment, 653, with op@ 'at- ing expenses of $47,653, or 2 ost per pupil of $72.98. Of the c ms Wrangell had the lowest ea o'l- ment, 173, and the cost was 222,- 234, or $12910 per pupil.
 Dr. Bunnell has had som, nx- perience in teaching native schools, but it availed him lit- tie. He could get further in formation if he were to study the costs of maintaining the public schools throughout the Terri tory. But he does not seek or desire this kind of information. And the general public is not informed as to the enorm ous cost of trying to build up the Ag- ricultural College which had 83 college grade pupils two years ago and about 70 this year. No audit has ever been made of the College expenditures, and when Auditor Cash Cole sought to comply with the mandate of the law creating his office and have the bills come to his office for scrutiny, Attorney General John Rustgard gave a written opinion

Thyroid Trouble Cuts Efficiency
DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

It is quite possible to get along
without the thyroid gland, since
some of the other glands of the body
will take up the functions, and since
thyroid can be given in tablet form.
The chief functions of the gland
seems to be to control and stimu-
late the growth of tissues in gen
eraI; to control and stimulate the
various changes that go on in the
human body; to neutralize poison
Gus substances produced in the
body chemistry; and to assist the
tissues in their defense against the
poisonS created by bacteria.
Every one now knows that there
are some districts in this country,
particularly in the Great Lakes re-
gion, in which a deficiency of
iodine results in changes in the thy
roid gland.

that there is no definite group of
symptoms characteristic of all cases
Of 1essened action of the thyroid
gland.

dition are not seriously ill, but they

We believe such a policy is grave blunder.

1t is not just to help one side in civil at the
expense of another-unless we are willing to accept

1t is not eXpedient to incur the enmty of a large
revolutionary group which tomorrow may assume
control in Brazil similar revolutionary groups just
have won power in Peru Argentina and other Latin
American countries.
A juster and wiser policy would embargo arms
shipments to both sides After ALL the Brazilian civil
war is none of our business.

OUR old friend Senator Hiram johnson of Cali
~ forna spoke disapprovingy the other day of the
blowing" OF millions OF dollars to help the price OF
farm products, which is surprise, since Johnson al
ways has been for anything calculated to help the
country as whole.
OF course if California produced and wheat,
the senator would look at it differently and he doubt
less would ndorse it if the money were spent in buy
ing grapes. figs, almonds and other products of the
sunset state.
We always have gone on the broad idea that what
helped promised to help any great section OF the
country was the concern of everybody and when we
stop looking at it in this light might as well shut
up shop for the general welfare is the supreme law
MOT so long ago California was beseeching the
IN national congress to pass law excluding Japa-
nese immigrants and the congress did 1t, because
cit believed that what hurt California was the con-
Germ OF the whole country.
No other state was menaced by the yellow inva-
sion, but the people from Maine to California were
for the restriction, though it subjected us to
strained relations with power whose strength and
proximity to the Philippines cause us to wish her
friendship.
When the government asked to appropriate
millions to fight the boil weev which devastated the
cotton CROP not voice lifted against it through
out the north. where we know cotton only as a
finished product.
A ND when Uncle Sam opened his pocket book and
n declared that yellow fever should be banished
from the southern states everybody north east and
west well as south applsuded the great endeavor
Annually We appropriate many times more than
was spent help the farmers to maintain national
defense to protect our Seaboars from hostile invasion
and California is on the seaboard.
Almost everybody is for whatever is needed to
take care of any members of the national family and
so Senator johnson should think twice before he OBJ
jects to the blowing" of money to helping the
farmers Of the country.

Two Definite KaNS

1.-TWO conclusions stand out very
Il clearly from the work to date,
DR.. Todd says.
The first is that there are two
family lines, large one and a small
one" he says. They have no neces-
sary relation to northern and
southern European races. Whether
child belongs to one or the other
line he natures at the same rate
and punches the time clock with the
same regularity.
Like the little Gilman in the
song:
I'm quite as big for me, he said
AS you are big for you
The second conclusion is equally
important and even less realized. 1t
is the very definite demonstration
that, generally speaking, girls and
boys punch the time clock together.
I do not mean that there never
are periods in which one sex has
differentiated more than the other.
Before the 9Th birthday girls and
boys are closely patterned in their
differentiation, but just after this
the girls steal a march on the
boys who do not catch up until the
9th birthday. After the 10th birth
day the girls again spring ahead
and the boys do not overtake them
till both have reached 10 years.
Thus we have the old story Of
the hare and the tortoise repeated
in our bodily maturation.''

Invariably are below par. Many OF
them are teachers or executives,
who hold responsible positions, who
are active and energetic, but who
are aware of the fact that they
have to drive themselves to do
their work and that they tire out
easily.
A brief rest seemse to develop re-
cuperation, but as soon as they are
back at twork, the same WEAKNESS
comes on.
Constipation infrequently is not
a symptom of lack of thyroid and
headache is fairly frequent. There
are also vague abdominal pains,
and in many cases women have a
disturbance of their usual functions
without realizing that the thyroid
gland is responsible.
Nest people who have a deficient
amount of thyroid secretion tend to
gain weight.
In such cases the taking of small
amounts of thyroid extract will raise
the metabolic rate, and all symp-
toms that have been mentioned will
improve.

Hard to Judge

A FTER some training it Is no
IA difficult matter to identify the
stage to which the several skeletal
parts have progressed" D.. Todd
says so that the march of prog
ress in skeletal differentiation may
be used as a time clock for regisA
tration of bodily development.
This is the principle which the
foundation has adopted, and alter
three years of intensive work We
have pricked in the numbers on the
dial Of cur clock. but the numbers
refer to years instead OF hours, To-
months instead of minutes.
Just as we become mature at a
certain age. irrespective of GUS
height or weight, so our children
punch the time-clock OF the skele-
tai without regard for weight or
stature.
This information is most help+
full, for it enables us TO check de-
velopment on large and small types
of children. 1t permits us TO an
alyze the physical status of the
child, to segregate underweight from
a small body due to heredity. and
from retardation brought about by
some defect or abnormal action Of
those factors, loosely classed as en-
iocrines, which govern bodily differ
entiation.
The principle is simple and is
understood readily It's application

Times Readers Voice Vices

Editor Times-I was interested
and very much amused at your
editrial in your issue of Oct. II,
when Conscience Needs a Friend. y
There certainly never was a time
when conscience was more in need
of a friend than now. Those who
have a conscience and would be
glad to exercise it in the affairs Of
life, either in the business or matri-
monial world, are sidestepped,
knocked cold or completely out Of
the ring by some one whose con-
science is scared from neglect or
become obsolete.
When parents begin teaching
children to use the conscience to
guide them to do the right thing,
many problems will have been
solved which now are under discus
sion.
I believe will be safe to say if
every one will begin today to let
his conscience be his guide, even as
warped or devoid of conscience as
some have become, that worldwide
peace soon would be established,
and that there never would be an
other panic or war.
When conscience tells you not to
do the deed that you may have in
view, that is the voice of God to
you. MYRTLE RICE.

Jack DIAMOND has made a re
y markable recovery from his
wounds and it all goes to show what
clean living will do for young man.
There can be no doubt that the
gangsters of America have received
such a vast amount of newspaper
attention that legends have grown
up around them.
They have been endowed in some
portions of the public mind with a
cunning and a daring which they do
not possess. My own acquaintance
with racketeers is not. large nor
intimate, but, of course,YI have met
few in passing, and not one OF
them seemed to me person Of any
consequence. Not one even seemed
sinister in any considerable way.
But inevitably they loom large in
the myths which travel around the
wrold. Not so very many years ago
America still was the land of the
Indian, the cowboy and the buffalo
in European eyes.
Now to the FTenchman and the
Englishman, not forgetting the
Scandinavian, this is the country OF
gunner, pineapples, and rides.

are paying hard-earned dollars,

For, if we are nation Of drunk

In other words, we are in the

MANY years ago visitors to
1V1 Switzerland used to comment
on the tremendous golfers seen
among the Swiss, and on the nu-
merous cases of cretinism and myxe-
dema observed in children in that
region.
In these instances children fail to
grow, they develop a stupid appear
ance, the skin is dry, the tongue
projects and the mentality is in
hibited These stages represent the
most severe forms of lack of action
of the thyroid gland.
It was thought for long that only
these severe stages required atten-
ton. More recently, since the glands
of internal secretion have been sub
jected to extended Investigations, it
has been found that there are many
instances in which the thyroid gland
is deficient to a lesser degree, still
producing symptoms, but not to the
point of deformity and abnormality
that has been mentioned.
