Little Interest Shown
 In Wrestling Matches

The poor attendance at the sec ond of the wrestling matches held at the gym Monday night under the auspices of the American Le- zion, seems to indicate little Wran- gell interest in wrestling, but those who did attend, said that the events were well put on and the specta- tors were we'll satisfied.
 Roy Anderson and Ora Harris went seven rounds when Harris suf fered dislocated arm. Harris, al though outclassed at every point by Anderson, put up better fight than he did few weeks ago. Lou Crider of Petersburg and Pete Han sen of Ketchikan went four rounds in a scrappy fight. Both events were refereed by Douglas Grey.
 A third event which had been arranged for, failed to materialize through the fault of no one.

 Economies are Effected
 Economies effected during the past school year in the rural schools reduced the average per capita cost slightly more than $10, and a similar reduction will be made this year, according to w. K. Keller, Commissioner of Education. There were material reductions in most of the city schools. he said, but the average reduction has not yet been compiled.
 ''Resn terms will be main- tained in all schools" MT. Keller said. Teachers salaries have been maintained except in a few iso- lated cases in the city schools. Equipment in all schools is being materially improved to increase the efficiency of all plants
 The reduced educational cost per pupil was made possible through economies in maintenance of plants No betterments have been made this year and repairs have been held down to an absolute minimum re- quired to take care of a few emer- gencies. There was also a suspen- sion of all building operations. In this manner, it has been possible for the Territory to carry on it's schools unaffected by the financial stringeney that has been felt so considerably in other Territorial activities.
 The percentage of turnover in the teaching staff for this year was only 10 per cent, the smallest in the Territory's history. In 1881 it was Is per cent and prior to that ranged from 40 to AZ per cent.
 Alaska Teachers Preferred Preference to Alaska teachers was recommended to school boards throughout the Territory both last year and again this year.
 Regional High Schools
 This year for the first time, high school work is being offereds in the Territorial system at Kodiak, Sel- dovia and Matanuska. These are regional centers and warrant the establishment of regional high schools, Commissioner Keller said. This policy will be continued by the Department of Education.
 The high schools at Nome and Sitka are being strengthened in

Tuesday morning, says the Ju- neau Empire, Young Alaska by the thousands, white, Indian, Eskimo and other races as we'll as mixed bloods, marched back to school af- ter a three-months' vacation. From Hyder to Point Barrow, they bundled up their text books and re- enrolled for another year of prog ress on the road to education.
 And in the Territory, in striking contrast to virtually every other section of the country and prob ably the world, they went back to work under normal educational con- ditions; to schools that have not been curtailed in either duration or scope of curricula; to teachers whose salaries have not been re- duced and whose pay is forthcoming at the end of every month.
 Ten Thousand Pupils
 School days are back again for some 10,6O0 pupils who will enroll in the Territorial Public School System and the Government schools under the direction of the Alaska Division of the Indian Service. The two combined operate 194 schools, mostly day schools, with a few boarding institutions under the In- dian service. The teaching staffs of both number 500 instructors.
 To defray all the costs of the two systems will require more than $1,150,000 for the ensuing nine months. Part of this comes from municipal treasuries, part from Territorial appropriations and part from the Federal treasury. Only funds for the Indian Service come from the last source
 Territorial System
 The Territorial school system has three classes of institutions num- bering altogether 90. There are IT districts which derive from TO to so per cent of their revenues from the Territory and the rest locally. There are GA rural schools and nine special schools, the expenses of which are defrayed entirely by the Territory. In the institutions of the first class there are employed 16S teachers and the enrolment es- timated on the basis of those of previous years is placed at $500. In the GA rural schools and nine special schools 90 instructors will be engaged in teaching approxi- mately 1920 pupils, making the

Brown Bear Turns On
 Movie Photographer

Amos Burg of New York, repre- sentative of the National Geogra- phic Society and of the Geographic Magazine, was aboard the Rogers southbound Saturday morning.
 Young Burg came north some weeks ago to take pictures and col lect material for wild life illustra- tions and articles in the Geographic Magazine Most of this work was accomplished without undue risk. However, he had a thrilling ex- perience last week at Seymour Canal Accompanied by Guide Allen E. Hasselborg and Ray Veatch, representative of the fleet of yachts of Campbell Church, Jr., Burg was taking motion pictures of a brown bear mother and two cubs, when suddenly the mother bear hid the cubs in the brush and turned on him. She was within 30 feet of the motion picture camera, when her advance was stopped by a bull let fired by Hasselborg which graz ed her head. She retreated quickly to her cubs and made off with them.
 MT. Burg's first work for the Geographic Magazine was accepted two years ago when it published the account of his trip in a row boat down the Yukon river.

RecOverS
 Body Young Scientist

Merle LaVoy and Andy Taylor, who came north some weeks ago to recover the body of Theodore Koyen from Muldrow Glacier on Mt. Mckinley where he perished early in the summer, were aboard the Yukon southbound Tuesday evening. While their boat was in port at Wrangell they were guests of pr. R. N. Scruby.
 Both men are experienced noun tain climbers. MT. Taylor. who is an oldtime Alaskan, was with Allen Carpe and party on the first ascent of Mt. Logan, some years ago. Mt. Logan is about 800 feet lower than Mt. Mckinley. He also took part in the ascent of Fairweather last year. MT. LaVoy climbed Mt. Mo- kinley twenty years ago this sum- mer with the Parker Browne expedition.
 La Voy and Thomas started from Fairbanks on July 22, the latest in the season that anyone has ever ascended so high on Mt. Mckinley. George Pitiff and Ranger Grant Pearson of the national park ser vice, were members of the exedition. Bad weather prevented the party from reaching KoYens body before August 10. The men, roped together, travelled slowly, sounding every foot of the way for creyasses. Fay Tor sounded the trail and took the lead in picking the trail up the glacier.
 The Leik-Lindley expedition had stood a Yukon sled on end to mark the spot where they were compelled to leave Koven's body. Heavy snows had packed above the sled until but four or five inches were visible when the party reached there. Had they been a day later, all trace would doubtless have been oblit- erated and recovery of the body would have been difficult, if not impossible.
 The party then went on about mile and half up the slope to dig out the cosmic ray camp which Carpe and Koven had established. The lighter and more valuable parts of the equipment were brought out and the belongings of .he men which it was thought their families would desire.
 The party spent all the time they could spare in looking for Carpe Dody but the crevasse into which ..e fell was not found. Koven's body which was not dug out until the party were ready to descend, was prepared at Fairbanks for shipment to New Jersey where burial will be made in the family plot.
