Students Show Increase
An increasing numiber of students
enrolled in both elementary and high
schools is indicated in the report.
For the school year 1920-21, there
were enrolled in 68 elementary
schools 3,115 pupils as compared to
3,200 in 67 schools iin 1921-22. The
.increase was entirely iin schools In
incorporated towns, a slight loss be
ing shown In the schools outside of

such towns. The high schools showed
a gain of 82. increasing from UtiS in
li>241-21 to 450 l.m^yoar, the largest
increase for five year;'
"Tho growth in number anil en
rollment of high bools is one of

in Alaska," declared tho Cotnmis

Make Good Records
That tho high schools of Alaska
are performing a service at least on
a par with those in the States is in
dicated by the Commissioner's rc ird
of hoys and gilds who liave finished
their higfi school education in Alaska
and entered Inst..nth ns of high’
learning iin the States. Commenting
ou this feature the report said:
“The higher education record ot
high school graduates is also worthy
of mention. Sixty-one per cent of
the high school graduating class o:
1920 were enrolled in colleges, uni
versitles, normal schools, technic a
schools, and business collegos in
1920-21; 58 per cent of the class of
1921 pursued higher education course:
in 1921-22; and 57 per cent of the
ela3s of 1922 signified their intention
of entering higher institutions ol
learning in tho fall of 1922.
••At the close of tho school year
1921*22, the department sent out let
•ters of inquiry to registrars of col
leges, universities, normal schools
etc., in which members of the 192
graduating class of Alaska hlgl
schools were enrolled, requesting in
formation on the aland Ing made by
Alaskan students. Replies receiver
on tho work i f 17 students lndicatlny
records ranging all tho way fron
satlisfactory to superior for 16 stud

student who entered the Unltoi
States Military Academy nt Wes
Ihiint, N- Y., and who was honorably
discharged at the end of the firs
semester for deficiency In mathe
jnatics and French.”
Report Is Complete
The- Commissioners’ report cover
completely the school system of Al
aska, ind lulling a statement on th
Alaska Agricultural College an

SEAL PROTECTION
INCREASES HERDS
MANY THOUSANDS
VANCOCVBH. H. C.. April 13. A
conservative estimate plares the num
ber of fur seals In the North Pacific
at. HOO.OOO, as compared with only
196,000 when the government adopted
protective measures in 1911, and the
Indians predict a good hunting sea
son. Tlie original body, before white
rtcn depleted it, has been estimated
at 5,000,000 animals.
; About the time that the spring
I salmon are at the height of their
I runs on the writ coast of Vancouver
; Island, thf- fur seals of the Pacific
I swim northward along the shore,
' bound for the rookeries on the Aleu
| tian and Pribiloff Islands. Tliq we-'i
1 qpast Indians thorcupon quit salmon
j fishing to seek the valuable pelt*
j bearing animals.
No white man may catch the seals,
1 but th-1 Dominion government, when
agreeing tl> stop seal-hunting, inslst
I ed that the coast Indians, who had
made a part of their living from
these creatures for many generations,
! should continue to have the right to
seal during I lie spring migration of
i the herds. The red men must, how
'ever, continue to use the primitive
spears and methods of their fore
; lathers. No guns may be employed.
•Even under these restrictions the
west coast Indians collect uvnily
about $30,000 from the creatures.
Last season was a had one, as the
seals passed north far at mu on
account of severe storms, and the
j Indians In their cockleshell (anoes
and small fishing boats c - I bc‘

migration.

The northbound seal herds are
somewhere off the coast o£ Call
foinla now. Where they come from
no cue Is stir.', though it is believed
by experts that they winter on some
bare islands on the Aisalie side,
south of Japan, and cross the Pa
cific to strike the American coast
and follow It to the Arctic r mkerles.
Some contend they stay with a
certain temperature of water, fol

ing the summer an I a >ut'n along the
coast of Asia in fall and winter;
thence across the Pacific north of the
equator to the coast of California
arriving there again in spring am
swinging north on the nevar-ondlnt
circuit.
As an argument in support of this
contention of even water tempera
lure, i; is pointed out that the fur ol
the animals Is prime at ill times ol
the year
Since seal poach »rs have boon suc

Mich an i xtenl t ha I it Is positively
predicted there vvill.be as many seals

be Toro the scalers began to rai
rookeries many years ago.
Seals suffer from no diseases, thei
