Cake Symbol For Anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Benson
A cocoanut layer cake is not
merely a choice piece of dessert in
the household of Mr.. and Mrs. Alex
Benson. To them and their family
the presence of the cake is a sym.
Dol that another year has rolled
around to the anniversary of Their
marriage.
For fifty-one years now the CO
coanut cake has been part of the
anniversary celebration. Last Fri
day, November Bird, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Benson quietly celebrated the
fifty-first anniversary the cake was
there again. Until the forty-second
anniversary Mrs. Benson herself
baked the cake; then the task OF
providing the ornament was taken
over by daughter, Olive, of this
city.
The day was quietly spent with
only four of the eleven sons and

to hang their hats. But even these
simple things are denied them, be-
cause the boy is a fugitive from
justice, for a murder he did not
commit.

PROBLEMS AT PUBLIC MEETING

F. G. Hanford, president of the

word this morning that Mrs. Flor

some time in Juneau in connection
with the 1888 Seal Sale, will ar

about the use of Seal Sale funds is
asked to attend. Notice of the meet
ing will be given later.
All who received Seals from the
Wrangen committee and who have
neither returned them nor paid for
them are asked to return them in the
stamped envelope, which accompan-
led the Seals, or enclose a dollar for
same in order that the Seal commit
tee may complete its records. Many
Seals are still not accounted for and
may have been forgotten in the
Christmas rush. Those who received
the Seals are not required to buy
them but should return them If they
are not bought.

Commissioners Report Shows
Source School Funds

From the report OF Commissioner
of Education Anthony E. karnes for
the school biennium ended June 30,
1898, the following excerpt regard
ing the source OF FUNDS Tor the sup
port OF Territorial schools is taken:
FUNDS for the support OF schools
are received from the following
sources: about Is per cent is re-
ceiVed from the Federal Government
through the Alaska Fund, which IS
20 per cent of the monies collected
by the Federal Government in Al
aska from license and case taxes
outside incorporated Cities Il per
cent is received from the Territorial
poll or school tax, which is a $500
tax on all males between the ages OF
q and 49, inclusive; 4 per cent,
from the Alaska Game Commission,
the Forest Reserve Fund, and other
miscellaneous sources; and 50 per
cent by direct appropriation from
the General Fund of the Territory.
There being no property tax out
side incorporated cities, all expenses
Of the operation and maintenance Of
rural and special schools are borne
by the Territory, even to the extent
OF furnishing buildings, equipment,
and all school supplies needed for
Institutional purposes.
In many respects, this complete
support OF the rural and special
schools is desirable for it assures
ample school facilities and materials
in all localities where there are
enough pupils for schools and there
is no delay in starting such schools.
1t also means that, no matter how
destitute pupils may be, they may
attend school, However, there is a
weakness to the system. Schools are
maintained in many communities
where the residents are able to con-
tribute to the support of schools,
and in many such places the people
have endeayored to secure from the
Territory more than is necessary for
adequate school operation and ex-
pense. Also, it does not develop the
nlSneSL type OIL clli1euShip III peo-
pie to secure their educational ad-
yantages without contributing to the
support of education in greater
way than by paying $500 per year
school tax.
The Territory is liberal in its sup
port of city schools as it pays from
is so per cent to cities where the
cities on all expenditures of teach
ers' and janitors' salaries, heat, wa
ter, light, and textbooks, as well as

ION other minor items. This refund
is so per cent ito cities where the
enrolment is less than $50 pupils,
rs percent to cities where the en-
rolment is from $50 to 299, and 20
per cent, where the enrolment is
900 or more. At various times, the
Territory has made special appro-
priations for the maintenance and
operation of city schools, where fires
have occurred, and also has assisted
several cities in the construction or
in the repair OF their school build
ings.
The foregoing method of school
support for cities is satisfactory in
many respects, though many of the
cities are able financially to share
a greater portion of their expenses
than they are now doing while other
cities are barely able to keep their
schools going on what they can
raise. No doubt a better method OF
giving refund would be to base the
per cent of school expenses on the
ability of cities to pay rather than
on the size of the enrolment.
No recent study has been made OF
the ability of cities to pay, but IN
the last biennial report was shown
that one city paid out only 11.2 per
cent of its income for school pur-
poses while another paid out as
much as sos per cent. Some legis-
lation should be enacted whereby
those cities which are not favored
by industries may secure a greater
refund from the Territory for their
school expenses.
EDITORS NOTE Petersburg and
Wrangell are often compared by its
residents as being towns equal in
population and school provisions
which is not true.
Petersburg's average daily atten
the cost per pupil in average daily
attendance was $14S.24 and the
value of the school property is list
ed at S65,134.00.
Wrangell's average daily atten
dance was 1881, cost per pupil il
average daily attendance s128,6
and value of school property s6S,
| 10000.
From the following listing of re
funds paid city schools by the Ter
ritory, it is found that Petersburg
pays approximately $4,000 from it,

approximately $500.

room were lengths of yellow cedar
for smaller totems which the boys
sell to W. c. Waters, proprietor of
the Bear Totem stores. The totem
carving is under the supervision of
E. L. Keithahn, instructor in native
arts and crafts Twenty-Five to thir-
ty boys are usually at work there
evenings, carving and painting the
totems, which afford them their
spending money. They make their
own carving tools and show much
ingenuity in fashioning the tools to
fit their own hands.
The art room under Mr. Keit-
hahns supervision, is a revelation,
according to the Petersburg visitor,
in the artistic ability of the boys
and girls of the Alaskan Indian
races. The decoration OF rare old
curios, are studied and the designs
reproduced, the modern Indian
youths incidentally acquiring a pro-
found respect for the craftsmanship
of their ancestors, which in late
years has been sadly neglected and
unappreciated.
Earn Spending Money
In this department the girls earn
the major part of their spending
money through copper work. which
also finds a market through Mr..
Waters. AS it happens none of the
boys have invaded the copper crafts
but three girls have become profit
cient in totem carving.
Captain Vevelstad then visited the
boat shop where the Blue Bell, a
46-foot gasboat powered with a 25
h. D. Palmer heavy duty gas en-
CINE is being overhauled by the
boys under the instruction of Walter
Rudolph.
The boat last April was transferr-
ed from the lighthouse service to

Wrangell Institute Administration
Praised By Petersburg Man


Captain Carl Veyelstad who last
Friday returned to his home in Pc
tersburg after spending a month
here conducting classes in Naviga-
ton through the cooperation of the
Wrangell school board and the Ter
ritorial department of education,
spoke on the eve OF his departure of
how much he had found of enjoy
ment in Wrangell, aside from his
classes.
He was particularly interested in
Wrangell Institute which he visited
the day before returning home. He
had but two hours of time for in
spection of the school and for that
reason did not see the work OF sew
eral departments in which the three
major departments, institutional,
academic and vocational are divided.
Starting with the institutional
department, Captain Veyelstad was
shown through the attractive dining
room where the 156 students are
seated at ten tables. In the kitchen
group of girls were working with
Mrs. Alice Burgess, assistant cook,
in the preparation of dinner follow
ing the menu directions as previous
ly outlined by Mrs. Clarissa Ursich,
supervisor of the dining room and
kitchen. He was told that the stu
dents are assigned special institu-
tional work every fourth week.
Equipment Modern
Modern equipment, including an
electric dishwasher, features the
kitchen off which a 6x6 cooler and
a 6x8 cold storage opens. In the ell
ectrically equipped bakery a loaf
of bread per student is baked daily
in addition to hot breads and pas
tries. A survey of the basement
storage revealed the wide range of
foodstuffs with which the students
are supplied. The yearly budget for
food, according to George T. Barrett
principal, is approximately $16,-
900.
Captain Vevelstad was shown the
dormitories and from there visited
the carpenter shop where furniture
was under construction but the main
interest centered in the totem pole
carvings. Four ten-foot totems, two
each modelled after the Raven and
Kiksetti original poles at Wran-
CELL, are being carved on assignment
from the Arts and Crafts Board OF
the Indian department. The boys
will be paid $40 per foot for the
carving of these poles.
