OF
SCHOOL
Among the several functions
which marie a busy last week for
the teachers and pupils, none was
more important and interesting than
the exhibit of the work done in the
public school and iu the manual
training and domestic science de
partments of the Parent-Teacher as
sociation. This exhibit was held
on Monday evening in the several
school rooms. It occupied desk
; :id wall space, and its arrange
ment represented time and work for
both teacher and pupils. It was a
most instructive and interesting ex
hibit and should have been seen
by every person who is interested in
our school system. That it -repre
sented the routine work of the
school and not merely an exhibit
prepared for a display, made it all
the more valuable. Every child iu
school had some of his work on ex
hibition and it was a worth while
object lesson to see him pilot his
parent or .friend to see it.
It is not possible in a short ar
ticle to cover the scope of work ex
hibited. There was so much to be
seen that the impressions received
are something In the nature of
flas.h lights.
On a table in the primary room
were some dear little sets of paper
furniture. On the walls were mat
weaving, oaper cutting, drawing and
water color work. Not the. less in
teresting were the lesson papers
in reading, spelling, writing and
number work. It was quite evident
that the plastic mind and the awk
ward little fingers had both 're
ceived good training here.
The next room showed that the
third and fourth grades had spent
a busy and profitable year. The
geography maps and the illustrated
language lessons were especially
good. The Easter week spelling
booklets In the shape of well exe
cuted little bunnlee attracted much
atteution. The drawing and water
color work was excellent.
The next room showed that child
hood had merged into girl and boy
hood The creative period bad be
?un. Certainly the fifth , and sixth
grades had been busy.and well busy.
Representing a new department in
the Skagway school and one that1
promises well for the future of the
little maids, was the desk exhibit
of sewing and crochet work. "Every
stitch of it done by herself," more
than one fond mother was heard to
say. . The boys" exhibit of bird
h'-usfs, book racks, utility boxes,
etc., claimed a large share of at
tention and favorable comment.
When one realizes that not all par
ents have the ability and the time
to train their children in these
manual arts, and when one realizes
that a child will enter with enthu
siasm into the spirit , of thfc work if
his mates are working too, where
as it would be hard to get TUni In
terested if he worked alone, the
educational value of this new de
portment can scarcely be over-esti
mated. The industrial maps, the
Panama canal aud the Alaska book
lets, the latter with cover designs
in, water colors representing some
thing characteristic of .Alaska were
especially good. The free hand
drawings and water color work
made the walls of the room very
attractive. I
In the principal's room, the sev
enth and eighth grades, aud the
high Bchool pupils had wrought
well. The history booklets ! with
the filled in maps by the pupils,
and the pictures, illustrating , the
topics, gleaned by the pupils from
books and magazines, .made the
study of history something more
than the memari?ing of dates and
facts, whose association ir not al
ways seen. Tliy illustrated book
lets on "Better Babies " "The Early
History of Skagnay," and many oth
er subjects, m:?de the spectators
linger over them. Tbe black-board
exhibited some work ir geometry,
which showed clean clear reasoning
In the tenth grade pupils. The
dainty and useful garments made by
the girls in this room, received
much favorable comment. ! While
the manual training exhibit made
by the boys excited suprise and
admiration. The writing desks
showed better and more aspiring
work than the parent #n general
had believed his .boy capable of.
The book and plate racks and oth
er subjects .were attractive and
useful articles. When one con
siders that only one afternoon in
two weeks has been given to the
lesions In manual arts, the re
sults achieved seem rather wonder
ful.
i>ur!ng tlie evening tne rarem
Teacher association held .a business
and social session in the assembly
room. Mr. Hahn being called upon
for a speech, said among other
things that the school, during the
past year, under good leadership
and splendid team work, had. been
brought ud to the standard of the
best schools in the states. As a
members of the school board, he
officially announced that the .last
two years cf high school work were
to be taken up, .thus giving the
public a chance to complete the
high school course at home.
Mr. Britt being present, was
called upon for a speech and re
sponded in a talk along education
al lines. Among other things, he
said that the educational bill passed
at the last session of the Alaska
legislature, was, in sort, a memorial
to the principal of the Skagwav
school. He had sen' a draft of the
proposed bill to her, and to several
other school principals, asking for
their opinion of it. Miss Keenun
had criticise 1 the lr.1; as it then
stood, and had suggested changes,
which had It en taken up in the
legislature, unC after due considera
»ion, had beau iucorpt"rated in the
bill. 1
Thn graK-aiii.g pxercises of Fri
dty evening rounded out a well
filled school >»ar.
That not ef the teachers art
coming back is a matter of univer
sal regret, but with those thai
art to come back to head the list,
we can feel assured of anothet
year of progressive work.

DISTRICT RESEMBLES ALASKA
Zauesville, Ohio, June 8—A trip
through the fc.ir.tern Ohio mining
district brings niDmories of Alasiian
novels, for til" most .spectacular
feature of the district in the use of
log teams. !
The mines in Muskingum county
are of the three-foov vein, .and it
:s almost impossible to use mules,
orses or machinery in.the entries,
so dogs have been substituted, the
huskies pulling the loaded cars
along the ,tri-ko. Nearly 200
dogs are workinj in the mines in
tins one county.
Most of the difes are owned by
the miners, who take great pride
in the "huskies" and frequently
singe dog races between teams.
