 ALL STATED BUT
 ONE, AT ELLAMAR

In commenting on the scarcity of teachers reported in many of the rural districts of the States, Dr. James c. Ryan, Territorial Commissioner of Education, said that to date all public schools of Alaska are staffed and that no schools have been forced to close down, with but one exception. This is the state of affairs at Ellamar, about 30 miles from Valdez.
 w. J. Brown had been hired for the present school year and was thought to be conducting school, until Dr. Ryan paid visit there the last of September. At that time he discovered no classes were in session and school had never been opened.
 Investigation disclosed that MT Brown, who had gone fishing for the summer, had died suddenly and the body had been taken south by his brother No one had both cred to notify the Juneau office of the lack of teacher, so the chil- dren are being accommodated at another school for the year,

HOLLYWOOD PRESS MAN SENDS JUNEAU
 OUT TO ALEUTIANS
Sqt. Ellis Levi Has Dinner in Native Hunt on Ber-
 ing Sea, Says Writer

A striking example of the Holly wood press mans sales appeal" psychology reached the Empire to- day when attention was called to an article appearing in the Los An- geles, Calf, Examiner last month.
 Sergeant Ellis Levi, referred to by the columnist, is stationed here with the Finance detail This is the comment as it appeared in Harry Crocker's Behind the Make up":
 Janis Carter, Hunt Stromberg's s new blonde contractee, has h e honor of having the first fan club in the Aleutians. Private Ellis E. Levi, U. s. Air Force, now stationed on a remote island in the Boring Sea, has notified Janis: Shortly after we landed, three of my bud dies took me to dinner in native hut. On the wall was a page from a recent issue of a newspaper with a picture of you in bathing suit. Fine, fine" mumbled the waiter every time he glanced at the pie ture. Now, if your picture can warm up an Eskimo hut like that, we need you to be queen of our unit barracks. Please rush pictures to your devoted Arctic Fan Club. Levi, former concert pianist, ap- peared at several benefit concerts in Juneau and other Alaskan cities. Janis has not only shipped photos but Christmas baskets to her far northern service fans"
 -Enumerating the press mans misstatements is big job, open ing as it does by moving Levi to the Aleutians, reducing him to a private, transferring him to the Air Service, and transforming the Assembly Apartments into an Es- kimo hut. Sergeant Levi is still waiting for the Christmas baskets and will be on hand to pass them out at the next AWVS dance if they come.

Of unusual ethnological interest is an article in the December is- sue of the Alaska Sportsman, writ ten by Curator E. L. Keithahn of the Territorial Museum, wherein he tells the story of shamanism in the Territory.
 Included are pictures of Skun- doo-oo, famous red-haired Chilkat Tlinget medicine man, who was sent to San Quentin for murder in 1894. He was sentenced in Juneau by Chief Justice Warren Truitt, who made an example of Skun-

 As lead for the article is pic- ture believed to be the only genu- inc imposed picture known of a witch doctor in the act of "cur4 ing" patient. It was taken by Lloyd Winter in 1893, and was pcs- sible because he had been taken into the tribe.
 Skun- -doo-oo, the article goes on to state, was trained from infancy to be a shaman because of his red hair, which marked him off as q superior being.
