President. Harding’s visit to Alaska should bestir national in terest in a realm to which tho American imagination has been strangely apathetic For decades after the territory was acquired from Kussin, in the late eighteen sixties, for the song of seven mil lion, two hundred thousand dol lars, it lay well-nigh forgotten by Washington, and of no more con cern to the rank ami file of its owners than the mountains in the moon. Yet it is not only a fifth as large as the entire area of the Union’s eight and forty states, but also is packed witli treasure. Gold, silver, copper, zinc, anti- mony aud tungsten it has in abun- dance. It is rioh, too, in deposits of coal, including bituminous anrl lignite, and has qh unexplored wealth of petroleum. Its mineral output for last year amounted to almost three times its purchase price of thirty-four million, seven hun dred thousand dollars were ship ped from its shores in 1922, while exports of furs usually add many millions more. As to forosts, it is estimatsd that with due conserva tion they will support permanent ly a pulp and paper industry ca pable of supplying one-third of the total present domand for such products in the United Mates. These are but g'impses into Alas ka’s natural wealth. The vaster portion of which still lies unpath- ed and belike undreamed. Strange indeed it is that Ameri cans have been So lilllo interested in this iramonso property of theirs as not oven to provide for its effi cient administration nor for the rights of those of thoir fellow citizens who have gone as trail- blazers and builders of its far frontiers Since tho oensus of 1910 the population has been dwendling; ten thousand persons left the territory betwoen that year and 1920. Its inhabitants now number some sixty thousand, of whom about one-half are whites the others being for the most part Indians and Eskimos. Moreover, the total commerce has declined from one hundred and six million dollars in 1920 to sxity three mil lion in 1921; and 1922, though in dicating improvement over the year before, is far short of the bet ter record. Evidently, there need for study of Alaskan, torests The greatest single step for the promotion of those interests was the building of the government railroad from Seward to Fairbanks a distance of four hundred and sixty-seven miles, Under-taken uj the early part of the ^ilscn ad ministiation, (his enterprise has just now been brought to comple tion. It betides, eventually, a de velopmept of resources and a growth of industry and trad.o that will mafco tho territory one of tho busiest regioiip of the .‘for north west. .But firatmust come high ways and trails to encourage set tlement and to servo as feeders to the railroad itself.

The school is for boys and girls. We have nice dormitories sep- erae, and good trained teachers to help the pupils in their work. The school is conducted on the merit system and every effort is made to develop good moral character. Well, I guess it’s time for me to leave,” said tho tree tree as the Spring set in.

It’s queer, thinks Bill how a man cap Work for t wenty years without missing a day for his business, then retire and become a chronic invalid. The goal of an education is acquired facts related to actual life needs. This is a vocational school and seekn to develop a well rounded character, the head, the hand, the heart. An able faculty is in charge of the school and take an interest in the pupils. We have a Teacher Training Course for the seniors and those who successfully complete the oouree, will be granted a license by th© State School Superintendent, which will be recognition in any county ;u the state. The tuition is free and board is reasonable. Write the Prinoipal for Catalogue and further information. F. M. GREEN, Principal, Cochran, Ga.
