PASSING OF A TEACHER
kxvlcToR MEEklNS

A great teacher has just died.
Mrs. Aretta Etheridge, wife of w.
H. Etheridge of Manteo passed
away Friday of last week. She
was most always in my mind be-
cause the first day l went to her
one-room school on a delightful
Roanoke Island October morning
in the year of 1907, she is the
young woman who took some 40
of us in hand and taught classes
ranging from the first to the
equivalent to eighth grade. was
ten years old, but she started me
in what she called the 9Th grade,
due to the fact that my mother
taught me to read the primer
when l was three, and taught me
intermittenly during six or seven
more years. One year when she
was sick lot, she didn't teach me
at all.
Ret Etheridge was a great and
good woman, and the majority of
that group of her pupils are liv-
ing today and can testify to the
benefits her teaching conferred
upon them. She was very young
woman then and she taught only
for about two years before she
married and maybe year or so
after she married, but by then l
had begun going to High school at
Manteo. Once she gave me hell
of licking, which 1 thought was
unjust, but it was probably due
me for other things, so l didn't
hold it against her.
Back in those days in that
single room, each class heard
every other class reciting., The
higher classes were constantly be-
ing refreshed all the way back
down the line by listening to the
students who were following them.
The younger classes were also
picking up things which helped
them master studies later on. Ret
Etheridge had great knowledge
of many subjects. She taught US
physical geography, and of the
American and English poets. She
was strong on literature, and
made US spell correctly, and it was
due to our custom of memorizing
a column of the dictionary, with
definitions every day, that we all
learned to spell well, and to I'M
derstand words.
She had discipline in her school.
This soon got beaten into a lot of
children whose parents didn't give
them any raisin' at home. There
were children now and then who
came to school with bugs in their
hair, and gave them to all of us,
but the teacher used extreme
measures, and enforced daily in
spection of those heads until the
last louise was gone. Hers was no
specialized institution referring
each problem to a separate de-
partment. Nothing was put off or
passed on. She met each situation
as it arose, and dealt with it and
without preliminary, nor by seek
ing advice, dealt with it instantly,
vigorously and successfully. She
knew what she was going to do
and she did it. Her ability, her
usefulness had been engendered in
her through early training by
practical parents, and by much
schooling by the kind of teachers
she herself became.
1t is unfortunate for the country
that we have so few of her kind.
1t must have been pretty tough
for her to put up with those 40
pupils, of mixed ages and ranging
from tiny tots to counting couples,
but she made magnificent job
of it, and results outdistanced so
much of today's educational en-
deavor. I doubt there is a new

COLLEGE, Alaska IT. Alaska Eskimos have two different kin ship or family connection systems despite the fact virtually all of them are living on the coast.
 Albert Heinrich, University of Alaska social science instructor, disclosed this following a sum- mer's study.
 "The kinship system that exists in the Bering Strait differs from that reported from Greenland" {" Heinrich explained. "Dr. Ivar Skarland, head of the university's anthropology department, won dered what does exist in north ern Alaska and sent me to con- duct reconnaissance survey of the kinship systems"
 The University provided the expenses for the study. Wien AL aSka AirlineS donated the trans portation to the remote areas Heinrich. visited.
 His studies took him to -Bettles, farthest interior extension of the Eskimos, except Beaver. Heinrich next went to Barrow, then down the Arctic coast to Point Hope and Kivalina Next stop was Noa- talk, then Kotzebue The latter is the summer gathering place of the woodland Eskimos of that general area. Heinrich studied the

Geist Sending Alaska Fossils To University

Pleistocene fossils are piling up at the University of Alaska as Otto William Geist, research as sociate in paleontology, hastens from point to point in the terri tory before the snow flies.
 He worked at Nome, the Kou- garok mining district, Buckland, Kotzebue, Kiana or the Kobuk River and Candle. He searched the known fossil areas and looked for other possible sources of ma terials.
 At Candle, on the Seward Pen insula, Geist hired George Moto, an Eskimo, and the two men boat ed down the Kiwalik River and over to Elephant Point.
 "The first report on fossil de- poSits at Elephant Point was made by It. Otto von Kotzebue in the early 180Os," Geist said. Several other expeditions have visited El- ephant Point since then. Two ex- petitions compiled reports
 The Prick Laboratory of the American Museum of Natural History at New York and the uni versity make Geist's trips possi- ble. Various mining companies also cooperate.
 Geist said his summer expedi- tions have brought in Pielstocene mammoth, bison, super bison, car ibou, and muskoxen fossils.

Study of Eskimo Family Systems
 Completed by Heinrich at U. of Alaska

Eskimos at Nome for Norton Sound data.
 Originally there had been among the Eskimos of Northern Alaska two definite kinship sys- tems," Heinrich explained. "One system was among the sedentary peoples of the coast and the Ko- bulk woodland Eskimos. The sec ond system was among the mi gratory caribou-hunting Eskimos of the interior. All of the Eskimos now are on the coast, except the Anaktuvuk Pass people. My studies show that the two original kinship systems still operate side by side in the coastal areas"
 Heinrich joined the faculty this fall. He spent a number of years among the Eskimos. His summer task was an outgrowth of his masters degree work dealing with Boring Strait kinship. He holds a B.A. in social science from the New School for Social Research in New York. He also attended Columbia University's Columbia College and School of General Studies, and did work in the an- thropology and linguistic depart ments of Columbia's graduate school. Heinrich received his MA. in education at the Univer- sity of Alaska last year.

voters of the county. Jurisdiction of the county court is usually confined to matters of probate, lesser civil actions, and minor criminal offenses.
 2. Recording of legal documents such as titles, mortgages, mineral claims, births, deaths, and mar riages. The function is sometimes entrusted to a county recorder, often elected, but frequently it is the responsibility of the county clerk, usually elected.
 3. Assessment of property for real and personal property taxes. Normally, the county assessor isl an elected official. Utility assess ments are commonly made by a state agency.
 2. Maintenance of law and or der. The police function is com monly assigned to an elected sher- if whose authority extends to all unincorporated areas and to in- cOrpOrated areas for certain types of offenses with which many small town police forces are ill., prepared to cope. The sheriff is usually assisted by deputies or marshalls. In many urban areas the county sheriff has come to be little more than an honorific off cial owing to the fact that other jurisdictions with professional po- lice forces have assumed virtually all police functions. Throughout most of rural America, however, the county sheriff is still an inn portant local official.
 5. Construction and maintenance of roads In most states rural road construction and maintenance are county functions entrusted by state law to county road depart ment headed by an elected or ap- pointed road superintendent. Road work often consumes the major part of the county's financial re- sources. County road agencies generally have no responsibility for construction of state highways or urban streets, but in a few states the county road department assumes maintenance functions on state highways.
 6. Health activities. County hos pitals and asylums are traditional institutions throughout most of the states. They are usually oper- ated by a health department in the more populous areas, and ire quently they are reserved for in digent patients only It is also common for the hospital to re- ceive paying patients when other private hospital facilities are not available. County health officers also usually have responsibility for sanitation and water inspec- tion and for administration of public health programs designed to combat particular diseases, such as tuberculosis, venereal dis ease, and heart disease.
 2. Welfare activities. Most coun- ties have assumed welfare func- tions. Activities include provision of relief to the indigent and un- employed, placement of needy children in foster homes, and op- eration of orphanages and old peoples homes.
 8. Fire protection for unincof- porated areas or for forests. g. Conduct of elections.
 10. Operation of schools. The operation of schools in unincor- porated areas is a very common county level function. Counties often operate schools in cities, too, however. The county school sys- tenn will have it's own school board, usually elected, and an elected or appointed county SUI perintendent of schools.
