REVIEW OF THE L. V. I. A. WORK.
What the Association Has Done in
Reynoldsville and What They
Seek to Accomplish.
Onr your nn, through the Interest and nenl
of Mrs. V. H. Alexander, a number of repre
sentative Indies met In the (Mar building and
onrnnlzrd what Is now known ns the Ladles'
Village Improvement. Association of Tteyn
nldsvlllt. Mrs. Alexander ImvltiK been lit.
t'letirflold stiw tlii'ro tbegiNHl work Imlnudone
by tho 1,. V. I. A., henre the organization
here.
For the benefit of those who know but
little about the work, 1 will nlve an outline
of It by imlinu from nu authority on such
tuples:
"Whatever the attitude of the public In
regard to women's clutw In general, there can
be but one opinion concerning the work being
done by tho various Villain) Improvement
Associations which are organized and work
ing In so many towns. There Is no organiza
tion of women more useful, more helpful to a
community, nor one whose Influence for good
Is more w idely felt.
"The work of beautifying and Improving
a vlllngn Ik peculiarly appropriate for women.
They aim not only to make the aspect of the
town more attractive, but to Improve the
health and morals as well. The object of
those societies Is the promotion of better sani
tary regulations, cleaner streets, the Improve
ment of all unsightly places, such as vacant
lots, dumps, etc., encouragement and assist
ance In every practical way of whatever may
tond to Improve the town, thus making It a
desirable home place. These societies culti
vate a general friendly feeling, they foster
public spirit. They make life better worth
living and real estate better worth buying.
It pays from every point of view to make
one's own town as attractive and resourceful
as possible."
A word In explanation of our methods will
enable all to understand us better.
The means to carry on our work are se
cured from the membership fees, from en
tertainments of various kinds mid voluntary
contributions, the latter having In our race
not been unbearably large, though perhaps
the future will do better for us In that way.
We shall hope so.
The officers are elected annually and con
sist of a prosldent, two vice-president, secre
tary, treasurer and an executive staff of
seven. Meetings are held the first and third
Thursdays of each month, with special meet
ings as may be deemed expedleut.
Wo have met with considerable discourage
ment and our people seem loth to help on
with the grand work, not realizing, It may be,
whatenn berlone and also the great need of
Just such work hero. There are not as many
ladles entered as there should be, especially
those who have homes of thelrown, and there
are oven malicious people who have tried to
destroy the result of our labor by kicking to
pieces the cans which were placed at various
points for the refuse of the streets, thus mak
Ing our main thoroughfare more presentable.
The cans cost money .and we worked hard to
earn the same with which to pay for them.
The drinking fountain has been largely tho
work of the 1.. V. I. A., also tho new lamp to
replace tho one recently broken. Pome In
quiring souls have asked, "What are you do
ing?" "Whnt have you done?" We arc young
yet, but an Infant In swaddling clothes, born
Inst September and but a year old, yet by
dint of hard work our receipts give us credit
with $1W.87, with expenditures of IIHI.KU.
Could we hnvo done better? Could anyone
have done better? No, for we have been
most faithful under great discouragement.
The work of the Village Improvement As.
social Ion Is almost unlimited, and when con.
ducted In a broad spirit, as we have tried to
do, no words ran express the benefit of such
an association to a town.
The school children should become Interest
ed In this work, form auxiliaries pledging
themselves not to throw papers, fruit, Ac,
In the street, and agreeing to pick up and put
In the receptacles anything of the kind lying
about or In their way, and to do all In their
power to promote the beauty of the village.
Como, Kit la and Iwys, let us hear from you
During this winter a club can be formed for
Intellectual Improvement on different lines
from your school studies, entertainments
given, etc., by which money can be made with
which to open our spring work.
The newspaper has been our strongest ally
and has been of Inestlmablo valuo and U
slstnnco, for which wo most earnestly thank
The. Htaii.
An Ill-natured man who was kindly asked
by the L. V. I. A. to sweep the street In front
of his place said, "No, I will not. If a man
had asked me 1 would have done It, but
women have no business to meddle In such
mutters." U of vital Importunes to the
property owner, the tax-payer, the business
man, the wage-earner, that the town
ho or sho lives lu be under the best possible
government, therefore, when we consider
that women are especial sufferers from bad
government, It may, perhaps, recur to those
who have thus marked out woman's sphere
that It Is a matter of Importance to them
whether the government under which they
live Is good or bad. It Is not unwomanly for
women to beautify the home they live In
or the place where It stands. If vice, Immor
ality, sickness orduathcan be kept away from
. our town and women cau do It, ot at least help,
Is It not right for them to do so, since all that
tends to make home comfortuhle, safe und
heultlif ill can tie aided and abetted by women.
In conclusion allow me to say that when
spring again opens we will be ready for work
and trust that the good people will he more
Interested In the Ladles' Village Improve
ment Association of Keynoldsvllle Mid will
gl ve us greater encouragement than has here
tofore bueu extended to us.

EDUCATION IN ALASKA.
Alaska has a school population of
from 8,000 to 10,000. Of these 1,!M
were enrolled In the 31 schools In opera
tion during the year 1892.
In Alaska there are two kinds of
schools, the Public and the Contract.
These Public schools, 1(1 In number,
with an enrollment of 781) pupils, are
supported entirely by the government at
an expense of $20,020.
These school are situated (1) In the
Sitka district, which has two schools
with an enrollment of 113 pupils, (2) in
the Juneau district, which has two
schools with an enrollment of 101 pu
pils, (3) In tho Douglas district, which
has two schools with an enrollment of
41) pupils, and at Killisnoo with 3!)
pupils, Wrangle with 41) pupils, Jackson
It h 100 pupils. Haines with 80 pupils,
Klnwack with 38 pupils, Kake with (10
pupils, Kadiak with (II) pupils, Kiirluk
with 2!) pupils, und Afoguak with 35
pupils.
The Contract schools, 15 In number
have an enrollment of 113(1 pupils. Of
these 788 are day pupils and 348 nro in
dustrial pupils, who are clothed, housed,
fed and taught. Thu boys are taught
shoemaking, house building, furniture
making, coopering, linking, gardening
and the care of cattle. The girls are
taught cooking, baking, washing, Iron
ing-, sowing, dressmaking, and house
keeping. The schools are supported by the
government, which contributes about
1211,080, and by tho Missionary Societies
of the Presbyterian, Moravian, Kplsco
pul, Methodist, Congregational, Luther
an and Romnn Catholic churches, which
contribute about $8,000.
The schools are situated at Anvik
with 36 pupils, Point Hoite, with 78
pupils, Metlakahtla with 1"4 pupils,
Bethel with 34 pupils, Cartnel with 20
pupils, Hoonal with 171 pupils, Sitka
with 157 pupils, Point Barrow with 33
pupils, Unalaska with 35 pupils, Nllato
with 20 pupils, Kosorlffaky with 73
pupils, Cape Vancouver with 20 pupils,
Capo Prince of Wales with 1H8 pupils,
Unalaklik with 72 pupils, and Yakatat
with 57 pupils.
In the schools of Alaska tho cultlva
tion of memory seemed to be a very
difficult task at II est. One of the char
acteristics of the northern Ksquimo Is
the Idea that "to-morrow will be an
other day," and they are unaccustomed
to commit anything to memory for
future use. They seem, however, to
have a great desire to know the
English language, and study very dill
gently in the school room, but tail to
uso what they have learned outsido, al
though some times, when none of the
older natives are around, they use the
English which they have learned in
school quite freely. POPPY,

Sallie Montgomery was in Falls Creek
Sunday.
Miss Golda King was at Summervlllo
the lattor part ot the week.
C. V. Dickey, teacher of room 13,
spent Sunday at his home at Baxter.
No pupils tardy Friday noon.
The editor-in-chief was in Brookvllle
last Saturday.
The excellent showing made by mem'
burs of the first program of tho Shake
spearean Literary Society did not seem
to inspire the pupils scheduled on the
second one, and as a result thore was
no mooting last Friday. The pupils
roust bear in mind if they would have
tho society be a success It will come
about only by their own individual ef.
forts. The direct aim of the society is
very beneficial to the students, in that
it teaches them how to become speakers.
We hope that each one will do their
part in the work.
The principal's report shows the fol
lowing statistics for the month ending
Sept. 30, 1899: Number in attendance
during the month 008, average attend'
ance 616, per cent, of attendance 96,
cases of tardiness 61, visits 54.
The highest percentage of attendance
(99) and the least cases of tardiness (1)
was in High School.
The highest enrollment is 75, In room
No. 1.
In the near future a farce will be
played as a program of the society. The
artists are of rare dramatical talent and
something can be expected.
A couple. of the Senior girls are con
structlng a musical instrument with hot
ties and water. Judging from the musio
madeat the trials, better music could be
produced by taking a hammer and
smashing the bottles.
One of the Subs was beard to remark
that the writer of the article in last
week's paper under the name "Fern"
was not blooming flower. Of course
they don't know who wrote it or they
would think differeptly,
