"Those accistomed to think of Alaska ts an out-of-the-way territory Inhab tcu only by Illiterate whites and still mor Ignorant savages will be a-itoa-Idied to learn that the Territory Is more favored than any other sH-tlon of the T'iiited States In the matter of public I'chnolM.

Vet It l.t i.bsoluu ly true. I'ncle Sam la more pene-ous to bis children la the Great Norti-.west than to any of his other lit tle ones. It Is not his fault that they are not further advanced in knowledge than the public school children of New York, Chicago or even Boston. Congress makes nn annual appropri ation for the establishment and main tenance of public schools throuKhout Alaska, and the Territorial Commis sioner of Education, appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, has full power to apply this money as he may see lit, either to the building of new schools, to be maintained entirely by the Government, or to subsidizing paro chial nnd mission schools and helptr.K to support those already established. Ills judgment Is final, nnd upon him rests a responsibility heavy enough to be a burden to any one man the civ ilization nnd education of all the thou sands of white, Creole, Indian, Eskimo and MonRolliin children. In whose little hands He. to a large extent, the future of this great treasure-house of Amer ica. noble Men at AVorU. Missionaries of every creed are scat tered over this broad land to work for the Chrlstlanlzatlon ot the native and half-breed children, and the mental de velopment of the sons nnd daughters of the white settlers. They are noble workers In a noble cause, and much pood has been accomplished by their tireless energy and indomitable cour age In the face of many difficulties. Hut It Is doubtful that, with all their pluck and perseverance, they would have achieved such great results had not the Federal Government appreci ated and satisfied tho need of ample capital with which to push the cam- palgn against heathenism, The mis sionaries were the pioneers; Uncle Sam Is the sound financial backer of the philanthropic enterprise. Two obstacles have made educational work In Alaska extremely difficult the roving habits of the natives and the stupid, mulish antagonism of the Rus sian Church to all things American. As to the first. It Is disappearing with tt)e advance of civilization; the second Is more deeply rooted, founded as It Is on intense bigotry and violent race preju dice, and many years will be required to overcome It. It Is Inbred In every native with the least drop of Russian blood In his veins, and Is shared by many of unmixed aboriginal descent. Special legislation will be required to radicate the evil. It must be remembered that the Alas- wm friri -t-amtatTyi - jr.iR? kan aathre la distinctly antl-protre , slve. Thllnrlt and Eskimo are equally I aatlsfled with their respective modes of ! life, and passively resent any attempts at amelioration of their condition. A Thllng-lt who haa not, with his Immedi ate ancestors, been subjected to strong civilising Influences for many years, would rather sleep on the ground. th the rain pouring upon his bare skin, his head alone sheltered under his In verted kayak or canoe, than repose on a new folding-bed In the best room of the Occidental Hotel. The Eskimo much prefers his stuffy Igloo, or hemlnpher- I I t a "ow nul. "e most comraoaious f mm dwelIlnBs. Both races have ts8 regard for personal comfort than any oiner people that has ever Inhab ited the North American continent. A steam-heated flat would drive any Es kimo or ThllnKlt to suicide. Trnnaey I KncourHKcd. Fo when their children, after much persuanlon by mlaslonurles or Govern ment teachers, are finally persuaded to go to school, the parents are miserable, and prophesy darkly the unhappy end of their Iconoclastic ofTKprlnK. JX-spltn the mii:t positive promises, they do their best to keep the little ones at home us much ns possible. Truancy Is encouraged more or less actively by the parents of. nearly every native child, while the Creoles und other mixed breeds prefer to send their children to the numeroiiH parochial schools estab lished by the Russian Church. The HusBlan clergy are Just ns Inim ical to the missionaries of the Human Catholic Church as they are to those of all Protestant denominations, and they regard even the lay touchers di rectly In the employ of the I'nlted States Oovernmi'iit with extreme sus picion. They violently oppnse the In troduction of American educational metliod:, nnd tell the Creoles, Indians p.nd Eskimos that the missionaries nnd Government teachers are di-Hlgnlng persons, whose ultimate rim U to alien- ate the children from their parents. I rnfortunately, this accusation Is not without foundation. The stern neres i sllits c,f civilization require that the pupils lie sepnrated from their adult relatives In order that the Rood results accomplished by the teachers shall not Im counteracted by barbarous Influ ences. After ten months of seclusion lu a seminary, or twice as many of con stant attendance ;,t H ay school, all that tt Thlliiicit. or Eskimo, student ha lenrned may be swept out of his mind by a brief return to primitive ways of life. It Is not conducive to a hl?h plane of thought to live In a six-foot lirloo with n half dozen other persons, who keep themselves smeared with III-sm.il-Inir preas" and share the Reneral couch with a pack of sledge dogs. Even the reml-clvHt.ol Indians are Intolerable to Caucasian nostrils. Ave rime of Attendance l.oiv. Most of the Alaskan schools, public and parochial, are open about 1T." days In the year. The avorape attendance 1b extremely low, 40 per cent, being considered good. All that the mission aries and Ciovernment teachers can do does not persuade the Thllngits and Eskimos to make their children attend school regularly. The fact that the parents are still forced to wander many miles In scorch of new hunting and fishing grounds frequently causes the loss of the brightest pupil just when the little ones ar becoming creditable to the school. Once lost, a pupil Is fel- '.V dom rccl.imned scarcely ever by th saliool llrst uttended Tins Commissioner of Education builds Government schools wherever tho need for them exist Indeed, when ever the opportunity offers. Many of them are useless at present, as they are so remote us to muko anything ap proaching a fair attendance out of the question. Federal Inspectors have crit icised the worthy Commissioner for thus building for the future, but that distinguished gentleman, secure in the autocratic power conferred upon him by Congress, goes serenely on his way, realislmr that Alaska la the coming arena of American energy, and that la so bulldlny he la betowln a hst!n - n tr m "ant-.n--ii axayag;. ;t.w3 Mm benefit upon the nation. He enjoys the confidence of the Secretary of the Interior, to whom he ia directly re sponsible, and rightly, for he la one of the most enthusiastic and single-hearted departmental chiefs, in the Territory. Thirty. re Alaakaa ftraaola. According to the latest national re port there are thirty-five schools In Alaska, of which sixteen are main tained entirely by the United States, and nineteen are controlled by churches and benevolent societies. Two of the latter are supported In part by this Government, five by the Kiisslsn Imperial Government, four by the Pres byterian Hoard of Home Vlsslons. one by the Hoard of Missions of the Prot estant Episcopal Church, one by the Human Catholic Church, one by the S!s tirs of St. Ann, one by the Holy Synod of Kus!a, one by the American Branch of the Swedish Kree Mission Society, one by the Swedish Kvangellcal l'nhn and two by the North American Com mercial Company.
