Dr. Studley was engaged as two ladies were waiting their turns to see him. Seated in the corridor which led to Dr. Studley's con- sulting-room, they gossiped and ex- changed scandal. Unobtrusively, near. “No, my dear,” said Mrs. Platic a tall, dark Spanish-looking wom- an of some 40 summers, thin to -he point of emaciation, with coal-black hair and burning eyes. “No my dear.

Testimony Is Cited , The Secretary's testimony was\ quoted verbatim as follows: | “We have put about one half of the Indians intc white schools now, and we are paying for some of them, but not for all. In other words, we are trying to transfer them over to the public school sys- tem, if we can do that, and trans- fer them to the public health sys- tem, and to the general hospitais, instead of building too many build- ings of our own. If we can do that that would help.” This policy, Mr. Foster’s arraign- ment asserted, has been in effect for sometime in this Territory to the great disadvantage of Alaska, “Excuse me, Madam,” said Mr.|increasing its school costs and ‘Waye, throwing himself at the feet | otherwise affecting the local edu- of Mrs. Plaite and peerinz heneath | cational system adversely. the settee. w 3 5 Figures Are Quoted manw’r'l‘a:i':nfiax}l \;lyosln;i my 8004 Gontinuing . the memorial said: “Locking for my cobra” repliea| 10 schools, being all of the Mr. Waye. “I put it dows a;d schools' of the Territory maintained when T turned round 1 was just in | 20d operated outside of incorpor- time to see it dart in hera.’ ated towns, there are 1,608 pupils, With a look of horror, Mrs. Platte of which 360 are white, the re- fled, s Mr. Waye, rising, obseryed: | M8ining 1,239 being puplls of In- “Perhaps that was it that went | dian‘or mixed blood; further, that in there jus: now.

Two or three times, in the night, he would repeat this tour; a watch- dog, apparently, that was always ready for, a visit from the wolf. “Come in,” he, called sharply, as the knocking startled him from dreams of strategems and spoils; and, the door opening, he bah«'d John Waye. .

Relief Is Urged o Immediate cessation of the trans- Ifer of these burdens to the Terris tory is demanded by the memorial.
