CHANGES IX SCHOOL LAWS
m*ai/ »
3'
r The 1921 session of the Territorial Legislature enacted very little
school legislation. Schools outside incorporated towns were not at all
affected except In the act appropriating money for their maintenance.
Schools In Incorporated towns and districts were affected only iu that the
act providing for a refund of 75 per cent, of the cost of maintenance was
ttmended in such a way that no refund is allowable on expenditnres for
repairs, alterations or improvements to the buildings or other real estate.
The maximum refund which any district may receive during any one year
was raised from $15,000 to $20,000. The annual appropriation of $1,500
to schools maintaining normal training courses in the high school wate
continued through the school year 1921-22 and is to be discontinued at
the end of that time.
The Agricultural College and School of Mines, for the erection and
equipment of which an appropriation was made in 1917 and which was
not completed because of inadequate funds and the failure of the 1919
Legislature to provide an appropriation, was granted an appropriation suf
ficiently large to provide for its equipment and for its maintenance during
the school year 1922-23.. The appropriations for school purposes made
by the 1921 legislature are us follows:
For the maintenance of schools iu incorporated towns and incor
porated school districts $300,000
For the maintenance of schools in communities outside incorpor
ated towns and incorporated school districts, (in addition
to 30 per cent, of the "Alaska Fund") 140.000
For tha maintenance of citizenship night schools 5,000
For the malrtenance of the office of the Commissioner of Edu
cation 21,100
For the maintenance of the Alaska Agricultural College aud
School of Mines 41,000

NOW A\D IN 1911
Secretary Davis makes an Important point when he says that where
as. according to the best estimates o( his department, there are 5.735,000
fewer men. women and children on the payrolls of the country than there
were In March, 1920, that is a different thine from saying that there are
"5.735.000 men out of employment." as has lieen carelessly asserted.
la 1914, indeed, just before the World War broke out, there were. Mr.
Davis says, seven million persons out of work in the I'nlted States, and
of these a larger proportion were men and actual breadwinners than Is
the case today. At the present time, he thinks probable, not more than
one-tlUrd of the entire number who have been dropped from the payrolls
of the country since March. 1920. are the principal wage-earners of fam
ilies.
The existing situation is bad enough, and everything that is practicable
should be done to remedy it. I5ut there is no need to think that times are
unpr^-cedently bad. During the war many women and children were em
ployed at various tasks la order to make good the deficiency Of men Now
that the ranks of the latter are again tilled, innumerable women and child
rend have naturally drifted out of the organized industries of the land.—
Prividence Journal.
TilE CLOSE OK THE CHAPTER
Proof of the passage of time is given in a recent news item. Next year
at DosMoines the last reunion cf the organization which has held an hon
ored place in the history of the nation will be held. The old G. A. R. en
campments will then be a thing of the past. The men who made up that
mighty army have been thinned out so steadily and so rapidly of late that
the time has come to close the books and say farewell. The organization
has had a long lit,?, and an enduringly honorable one. It seems a pity to
.have it go. We have come to feel it as a part of our national life. Per
haps its traditions will be preserved in the newer and larger organization
of the American Legion. Certain it is that the latter cannot surpass, if it
can equal in coming years, the noble record of the older organization thru
nearly two generations.
A .NOTABLE CHARACTER liO\K
It was to be expected, but It is
hard to bear. The departure of an
old timer who saw and heard
■things which but tew did. She was
here in the rushing, rustling times
of the great gold rush: she saw
thousands go in and hundreds come
back. Her's was the thrilling life
for a brief period and then the
quiet life that follows in the wake
of the sreat stampede. The doing
of the daily round that grows to
most people very irksome, but with
her nature came as a part of life
with no murmurs and no com-'
plaints. Once the companion of
Soapy Smith. Nellie witnessed the
great parade on the never-to-be-for
gotten Kourth. Nellie was with him
on that occasion. Tourists harel
looked upon her and spoken to her I
with something aki>i to awe because]
of her association with him. But
Nellie died last Friday and lies in
her lonely grave. No longer will
we see the old gray horse toting the
wagon of ,\lr. Achison. She is gone.
Peace to her ashes.

FOUND BY NEW COMPANY
' TWO-FOOT VEIN" LOCATED WITH
LITTI.E WORK—CLOSE
TO KENO TITV
Arrivals from Mayo today hrot
mows of the finding a few days ago
of a rich new vein on Keno Hill by
Mr. Ilussev, in charge of the work
on the gronp of claims held by var
ious owners and now under bond to
the Slate Creek Company. John
Kuwrett Marry Dickson. E. J. Ives
and other who arrived today
brought news of the new strike. The
find is on the Admiral Fisher claim,
owned hv Joseph A. Walsli. one of
the best known and most extensive
owners 011 the hill. The claim lies
about two claims or 3,000 feet up
the Keno Hill road from Keno City,
and thus is close to the foot of the
famous hill. The vein was uncov
ered after sinking only about four
feet, and those who saw it state it
is fully twenty to twenty-four Inches
wide and carries high values. One
assay is reported to have reached
fully 1*0 ounces in silver. All say
the ore is one of the best looking
galena propositions seen on the hill.
The find is attracting particular in
terest for the reason it is the first
of importance on the south slope of
the hill, and is s.i far down the
slope. It is fully two and a half
miles by the rn:id, which is practic
ally straight, from the scene of the
strike to the top of the hill, where
the Yukon Cold is mining on the
1 •titral group It is understood that
'manganese indications on the sur
face had been found some time ago,
and this prompted Mr. Bussej* to
sink on the Fisher at once. He has
several men at work, and plans to
prospect a number of claims this
winter which are under option to
tln> Slate Creek people. Mr. Bussey
arrived on Keno Hill early this
month, and immediately got busy.
He Is building a cabin in Crystal
gulch, nnar one which Joe Walsh
erected this season. John Fawcett,
who arrived today, recently put up j
a cabin for himself on the east end
of Keno Hill, and plans to return
there within the next few days. He
reports encouraging new prospects
on some of his ground. He also saw
the cut where the strike was made!
on the Admiral Fisher and handled]
some of the ore, which he savs is

All work has somr clement of the

that It 1* :irt thai brines everything
to htm, an<! that the best he nin brine
to art Is sympathy. Intelligence anii
skill In presenting It. Th<- ni!:^*rlal
has always been there anrl it Is for
him to develop the means of imparting

mental processes that govern our ac

unrecorded memories—anil so on
through an endless chain of evolution.
The artist's mission Is to interpret
the depth and breadth of the Mysteri

and Imaginary, through music, poetry,
sculpture, palmitic, the stage. or what
ever his profession. In his interpreta

enjoy them through the medium of the
artist—and as his skill In that medium

Piccadilly a "Ruff."
Piccadilly, known the world over as
a famous thoroughfare of London, re
ceived Its name from a tavern several
centuries ago. The tavern in Its turn
i took the name from a tennis rourt
that was near by, and much frequent
ed hy memliers of the king's house
hold.
The tennis court acquired the name
because of the number of both men
and women who frequented It wearing
a "plcadllly," or ruff.
The name, then, was originally the
name of a shirred hit of <;ik. or niiier
stiff material that was gathered along
the edge of the cloak, biwllee or jerkin,
and brought together under the chin. I
forming an outstanding collar ur ruff
often six or eight Inches wide, am it. j
some cases dandies went to evet I
greater extremes and extended their
"plckadllly" a foot or more.
