JUNIOR HIGH CLASSES
Sorry, but I'm afraid our column
Is slightly short this week. Every
one is SO upset and excited over
the basketball team, and Of course
the "score," especially the Melrose
VS.. Sauk Centre game, that they
just couldn't study. Thus: their
studies were neglected. don't
think the teachers were too hard
on them because they, too, were
excited. Many of them forgot the
tests they promised after we won
from Upsala.
Miss Eliss' Science class is study.
ing a chapter on "Fuel and Com
bustion." Her Geography class is
deep in the study of Egypt.
The freshmen just can't wait un-
til school is out now. They didn't
mind studying literature but now it
has turned for the worse and they
have to start reviewing Grammar.
Why Is it they all dislike grammar
50 intensely? I suppose I shouldn't
talk about them, I nearly fell out
of my seat when Miss Swanson
announced that we would start re-
viewing grammar as soon as we
finish the unit on drama.
Mr.. Knutsen's class Is studying
Occupations. Do you think it will
do them any good? They might
surprise you because the schoolboy
Of today is the business man of to-
morrow.
LIBRARY WORK
This week am going to tell you
about a book which is certainly
fitting with our own weather. The
name of this book is "The Eskimo
and His Reindeer in Alaska"
The problem Of the rehabilitation
Of the Eskimo is as serious as that
Of the Indian in the United States.
The Eskimo has been, since the
depletion Of Arctic waters, depen-
dent upon the reindeer for his sub
sistence. These reindeer were
brought from Siberia together with
native herders, by the United States
Government to found an industry
that would provide living for the
Alaskan natives. Later herders
were brought from Lapland, and
the industry was successfully estab-
lished. But at the present time
greedy corporations have preyed
upon native herds, and the Eskimo
is in danger of losing his means
Of independent living. Clarence L.
Andrews, who has lived and work
ed among these people, presents
their cause with flaring challenge.
Not only a turceful presentation
Of the problem Of the Eskimo and
his reindeer, but an intimate and
graphic account Of Eskimo life in
general Is this book. Clarence L.
Andrews, author of The Story of
Alaska, who knew them well as
teacher and government employee
has brought to his book hundreds
of anecdotes and accounts Of life
in the Far North. He presents the
Eskimo as a cheerful, loyal citizen,
anxious to be faithful subject of
his government and willing to show
industry and honesty in his work.
The Eskimo's intricate arts and
crafts, his methods of preparing
