l l'lE OBSERVANCE OF
AMERICAN FOREST WEEK
JUNEAU, r— The observance of
American Forest Week in Alaska,
.viiihr it has met with almost univer
sal response in Southeastern Alaska,
has not been altogether- satisfactory,
because of the impossibility of send
ing material to the outlying sections
of the Territory. The American For
est Week Committee for Alaska,, after
•aVefully considering this problem,
defcided that if tv-.- wish to insure uni
versal. observance of this anniversary
we must adopt some plan whereby all
of the people may be brought into
coYit-wt with the problems that must
be solved; We believe that the schools
are the best mediums to achieve this
purpose. Accordingly* the Forest
service, at the request of the Amer
ican Forest Week Committee, has pre
outh'I a;.series 21. lessons .embrac
ing all phases, of forestry and its
kindred subjects. These lessons have
bebn mailed to> all of the schools
thhoughou’ the Territory. .
Tt.is The plan tcv have each school
1-Vtote. one. hour each week.to a study
if these lessons and at the end of the
school year the pupils in the elemen
>.arjr, classes. will be asked to write a
story or essay about some phase of
thb subjects which, they have studied.
Gold medals wall be affered for the
befet'.essays in each fiivision and a
Krair. ’truphy will l>e awarded to the
school from which the best essay
from the Territory is selected. One
gt*ld madal will' be given in- each di
vision for the best essay from the
schools maintained by the Bureau of
Education and one from the schools
vvfiicu are operated under Territorial
control.
The lessons as printed contain out.

f
lines of the various phases of Alaska
forestry and forest life, and as an
appendix a list of the various kinds
i of trees and shrubs commonly found
; in the Territory, so that pupils may
I correctly identify eaah species. Some
. of the lessons are designed to show
i how trees reproduce, their rate of
| growth, the age of the trees, and
local uses of timber. Following these
! lessons a number of pages are devot
; od to the study of forest fires, their
j cause and effect, together with a brief
discussion on the prevention of these
; fires.
The forage resources in their con
j nection with the grazing of livestock
and particularly with relation to the
reindeer industry are fully discussed
by a member of the U. S. Biological
Survey.
The purpose of these lessons is to
inform the people, of. Alaska concern
ing the timber resources and wild life
and enlist their support in the pre
vention of forest and range fires. We
believe that if the people are fully
awakened to the danger that may be
done by fires and are acquainted with
the value of these resources they will
gladly respond and lend their efforts
to their prevention.

Dr. Egbert M. Malone, the Boston

welcome on his return from Russia: |

they are governing Russia, but the
things I saw in Moscow and Lenin
grad convince me that the Bolsheviks
are as capable of government as—
as—well, it’s like the story.
“A tourist in Englantklunched at an
old-fashioned farm i one - day. The
ham was very good, Lntfc the son of
the house passed his plate for more.
“ ‘More ’am, dad,’ hi- said.
“The farmer frowned at him .
“ ‘Don’t say ’am-, son.. Say ’am.’
“ ‘I did say ’am,.’ said the young
man, rather angry.
“‘You said ’am!’ roared the farmer.
I ‘ ’Am’s what it should, be. ’Am, not
! ’am.’
j “In the middle of the -’quarrel "the'
farmer’s wffe turned to the guest and
. said with an indignant little laugh:
‘“They both think they're sayin*
’am,, sir.’ ”

i.said on his return from Europe where
with thirty farmers he had been
studying European agriculture:
“European fanners know nothing
