EDITORIAL PAGE
Alaska is evidently up against
the same old trouble again; A
sccrre of new and widely T-ried pro
posals are being put forward as
to how the territory should be gov
erned. These proposals range all
the wa/ from statehood to develop
ment boards and each suggestion
haa a thousand advocates. The
Voice of Alaska, is a Babel which
of'en sounds like a baby's babble.—
Seward Oateway.
FINANCING AJIUKNTINA
Among the interesting financial
dcrelcpmerts of the vast fw
weeks is the absorptiou by the
Americas marktt of securities of
Argentine railroads.
Argentina is no longer able to
borrow money or to finance its in
dustrits from Eufope;-n capital. It
must look to the United States
for a<d. The st.itenu ut made in
some quarurs, t ...t Argentina is
compelled to sell raiirend securities,
in this country in cutler to find the
means *'th *hich to pay for goods
purchastd here, is not supported by
the tr ule facts. So far as the :
interchange of goods is concerned,
the Glance of our trade with Ar
gentina is agci^st the United
States, although to noth::g like ta
extent that is the case with soma
other Si'Uth Ame:.oan countri_s,
notably Bra*iL We buy mere from
Arjrent na than we sv 1 to lier, and
consequently we should be in d«bt
to Argent;, a in tead of being a
creditor, if trade balance were
the only things taken into consid
eration. Nevertheless we are buy
ing Argentine bo..i'.s »- i securities
and paying fur theai in cash, not
in goods, as evidtJ-ed iy the fact
that within a moaS'a $4- 4<>,0vi» of
gold has b»> n axp^.ted to A
tin;i from this country.
If .ve cculd pay for ...1 cf the j
Stoods we buy from South America
by shipping our own gcods to those
countries, our export trade would
expand by some hundred miliion
dollars a year, for that is about

^ eutiues, ail of which v ere made
by the children 21s & result of
' their drawing and art work. Most
of the -valentines, and especially
' those of the inte. mediate rooms
showed fTrvat skite in the use ©X
colored crayons. w_ ter colors, or1
, printing.
The wars oX the domestic science
. class for the past few lesecns has
been the making o£ oat-meal wat
ers, drop cake®. gingar bread.
Spar. i» ft spaghetti, egg muffins, pie
and cocoa. Ia addition to thU work,
the class has had lectures the
planning and serving of a dinner,
1 in preparatioa tor the dinner '
i given X^r the tow* council this ;
week. The fifth, six and seventh
grade sowicg has finished
embroidered work lags to use in
school and is notr makitig little
1 fancy worJc aprons.
The seventh gvrde plivsialof? 1
class directed a pigs' eye as a '
part of their work in the study of
the humaa eye. The experiment
brough* to light the separate parts
of the eye—l«as, eoats, humors
and oo'ic a<*rre«. The crystalline
lens, mounted in paper, was es
pecially interesting.
The work of the manual training !
department oX the Skagway public
school has been somewhat chugec
daring the last month on account j
ox the cold weather. The boys j
I have gathered in the principal's !
room for instruct ,j ia mechanical
| drawing. It ha;, boon the ia- '■
structei s aim, in tiese drawings, i
to eaa! .<? the bo; to know be- '
forcha..j just tx-ci..- what material
is netr J for contemplated
work. The smo. . boys have re
ceived ;ustructica ia the use of
the compass. It is the intention '
that these drawings shall be1
used as designs for wock that Is
to follow. As Boon as the cold
weather is over the boys will '
resume their woi'k la the manual I
training room.
(The manual training boys have
already proved, by actual test,
that the domestic science candy
and pie was good.)
Ki'?Ii?h of the
eighth, ninth, a: :>>vei>tii grades
have b a r« aCi , n.i discussing,
as a p : t of ti . hool work,
some o-i the c:~ .• 5.
Tne eighth gm h: s just fin
ished the story c: : .? "Grcut Stone
Fact." This story is perhaps
more iiteresting to Skngway pu
pils because we have "Face Moun
tain," from whirl: to draw inspira
tion it our imagination should
fail.
The ninth gra^ie has finished the
story of "Silas M -nor." whu-h typi
fies the little, out of the way vil
lage in England, and the suspi- ]
cions of the villagers toward any
one with any real grains.
The ■eleventh grade has complet- :
®d *he sfudy of the "Faerie Queen.'
by Kdmuad Spenser. They are
now working on tile rise of the
English drama preparatory to a
study of Sbakt*peare'« Hamlet
In spite of »he cold weather the
