 Since MT. Rhoads and MT. Scatter good first started to map out con structive program for the .beterment of the Indian service they have grad -ualy taken on new people, technically trained in their lines of work, ,who now form the complete corps. of di- rectors and assistant directors.
 Dr. W.aCarson Ryan, .Jr., formerly professor of education at Swarthmore College, is director of education. He was appointed ast August, and now will have full authority over the edd- cational activities Of the Indian ser vice. Under Doctor Ryan, Miss Mary Stewart, formerly of the Department of Labor, is assistant director. of ed ucation.
 Dr. M. C. Guthrie is director of health. He was detailed to the In-. dian service in 1926 by the United States pubic health service, and was formerly executive officer in the sur- geon generals office.
 The director of agricultural exten- sion and industry is A. c. Cooley, who ffioined the Indian service in Febru- ary of. last year. Previously he had been in charge. of demonstration aon federal reclamation projects for the United States Department of Agri- culture.
 An experienced. social executive, Robert T.

 Skagway, Seppala spoke of rather contemptuonsly, as place that had rain in winter. That stigmatized it immediately as an effeminate sort of southern resort, a place for tender foots. Since Skagway is as far north as the coastal boats of the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific go, it is not exactly on the equator. But it is too hothouse-like for real sour dough, located as it is on 6$.

The same provisions permitting residents te mill bears at any time when the animals are about to attack or modest persons or property applies to the two new areas as we'll as the five heretofore existing.
 Important among the changes made by the amendments to the game law, a residents privileges are clarified by requiring that person in all other respects entitled. thereto shall have been domicileds in. the, Territory, for the purpose of making his permanent home therein, for. no less than one year immediately preceding his claim for such privileges. =.
 The former restrictions on :, the slipping of trophies by residents of the Territory have been modified, and under permits issued in the discretion of the Commission a,resident may now ship trophies as gifts; and for mounting and return, they may ship trophies legally acquired Instead of ony those they have themselves le- gally killed, as heretofore.

AS soon as Mary understood, she
was eager to make up her school
work that summer. She did it, and
she led her class in scholarship the
next year.
What many failing children need is
more explanation about school and
its activities. Adults and teachers
alike take too much for granted.
Children need to know Just where.
they are going in school, what they
are going for and what steps are
necessary to take to get there. They
should feel free to ask the questions
that perplex them.
In my desk are the testimonies of
hundreds of children who coniide
that their parents tell them to "shut
up" and not bother them with ques-
tiOns. In some cases the "shut up"
has been emphasized with a humiliat-
ing slap. Some children say teachers
have told them to "sit down" and "hf
still", to cease asking questions. We
should encourage children to ask in
telligent questions. We should an
swer them and explain away their
perpleXities. -

phase of the school problem, in our

HOME EDUCATION
WHY SOME CHILDREN FAIL IN
SCHOOL WORK
Mrs. Mary Graham Andrews

d y
Parents often come to me, as prin-
cipal, confiding their worries. MY
child is falling" a mother will say.
She naturally feels unhappy about it.
Both parents will upbTaid the teach
er, criticize the school and lament
that their child is dull. They mean
we'll.
But parents with children who are
failing need to help those children.
They need to execute definite steps
of aid, not just intend to help, for it
takes more than good intentions to
make good parents. First, they
should find out whether their child
is in good health, then have the child
visit the family dentist and, if pOssi-
bic, psychologist. It may be that
their child is mixed up in his ideas
about this perplexing school business
with its many subjects and activities.
Recently, Mary, a very bright g.
year-old girl, failed to be promoted.
The child had been awarded the prize
as the healthiest pupil in her school.
Why had she failed? The clue was
found in the child's question, Moth
er, why wasn't l born smart, so l
wouldn't have to go to schOOl?"
The mother asked, "Whay do yOu
think schools are for, Mary?"
For those who don't know, for
dumb-bells, for those who were not
born smart. That's the reason l hate
to go to school. That's why l won't
study. Gee! l wish had been born
smart like you and Dad" was the
child's surprising answer.
Mother became interested and
questioned her daughter further. The
child had overheard many discus
siOns by her mothers guests. Some
of these concerned the sub-nOrmal
and the gifted child. She had been
confused and perlexed and cOnclud-
ed that only the stupid were sent to
school. Therefore she became pre-
juliced and resented having to go.
So her failure, in her lessons, was
a home problem. How to change her
erroneous idea needed serious con-
sideration.
Mary was learning to swim. Her
Mother did not know how, so she de-
cided to take lessons with the child.
Mary loved the water and learned to
swim quickly; her Mother was afraid
of the water and it was a difficult
task for her. Mary finally taught her
Mother how to float. That evening,
Mother took Mary on her lap and
they discussed the matter.
'YOu think Mother is smart, but
you taught me how to float. No mat
.er how smart you are, yOu must !
