SKA AND FEDERAL BUREAU SCHOOLS. Before a House subcommittee in Washington recently, a short discussion of school policies in the Territory was held. Not only was the policy con- sidered of schools maintained by Congressional ap propriations and operated by the Office of Indian| Affairs, but that of Territorial schools was given | comment. Dr. Ryan, educational director of Office of Indian Affairs who made a trip to the Territory last summer for his first survey was the witness before the Committee which was considering | estimates for next year's school funds. He advocated a single em of administration for both Terri- torial and ‘Federal schools as & means of promoting economy and efficiency. Among other things he told the Committee If the Territory would really undertake with us a program of joint education, there could be a considerable saving. There is a prejudice against native Indians in the Ter- ritorial schools, which is a most serious handicap in the problem of educating na- tives in Alaska. And Representative Burton L. French, Republican of Idaho, who has always taken an active interest in the ‘welfare of Indian schools in Alaska and ha showed his friendliness for them, re- sponded I think y statement is absolutely rect. In working out this program must have in mind the tendency on the part of a community to push onto the Federal Government the education of white children in Alaska If the Committee gave heed to these two state- ments got a wholly untrue picture of the rela- tions ween the Territorial and Federal schools in Alas Dr. Ryan was not justified in charging “prejudice” on the part of the Territory against admitting native Indians into its own schools. Earlier in the hearing Mr. French had requested him to give the Committee a “little picture of the attend- ance of Indians and Eskimos in the white schools of Alaska,” and he told the Committee, ‘e connot supply it at this time. It will be necessary to ob- tain it from Alaska, which we shall try to do.” This “little pictu would not only have refuted absolutely Dr. Ryan’s ill-advised charge of local prejudice, but it would have made Mr. French’s allegation of communities pushing white children into Indien schools look silly. And the information that had been asked for was ready for the asking, had Dr. Ryan or anyone else taken the trouble to inquire. A survey of the Territorial school 1930-31 showed a total enrolment of 5,101 pupils in incorporated towns and rural districts. Of this number, 1,686, or almost exactly one-third, were either full or mixed blood Indians. There were 306 full blood Indians, 663 halfbreeds, 496 quarter breeds and 221 of less than that proportion. In the City schools alone there are 61 full bloods, 185 halfbreeds and 130 quarterbreeds. It is in the rural schools that the real extent is disclosed to which the Territory is spending funds for educating Uncle Sam’s wards. In 71 of these “outside” schools, mostly one and two-teacher institutions, there are enrolled, 1,264 full blood and mixed blood Indians. And the total enrolment is but 1,633. In other words, less than 13 per cent of the pupils in them are of strictly non-Indian blood. There are in them 245 full bloods, 478 halfbreeds, 366 quarterbreeds and 175 under one-quarter. The figures for white children in Indian schools in the Territory are, unfortunately, not available. But it is a matter of common knowledge that the number is small, nothing like the number of Indians in the Territorial schools. As to the lack of Territorial co-operation with the Federal authorities, there can be no room for dispute. ‘The Territory, in addition to enrolling Federal wards in its schools, constructed a fine schoolhouse and turned it over to the Federal Government for its school. In at least one instance, locked up a school at which almost 30 pupils were enrolled, the Territory admitted them to its own institution in the same village. There are other concrete evidences of Alask: taxpayers assuming purdens of education that properly ought to have been borne by the Federal Government. If Dr. Ryan meant to convey to the Committee that Alaska would not agree to a closure of all Indian schools and consent to admitting all Indian and Eskimo children into the Territorial schools ‘regardless of qualifications, then he is correct. Such a program would be ruinous to the educational standard of the Territorial schools, which is admit- tedly high, and would penalize white Americans as no others ‘were ever penalized before them. We hardly believe he would advocate such a policy and are confident that Mr. French, with his km of the Western ‘Indian, would never ap- system in tered in the Post Office In Juneau as Second Class| et the | has on one occasion when the Governbment bureau THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY FEB. 24, 1932.

The Garner Boom. (New York Times.) This is not the first time in American history when calls for a New York Governor to the Presi- dency came strongest from the South and the West. There has been no official party expression in New York, |Franklin D. Roosevelt. But the Demcrats of Geor- gia, Alabama, Maine, Washington, the Dakotas and | other States have been urging his candidacy. In| lmmmon political parlance Governor Roosevelt is |known as “the Western and Southern candidate,” | |that this included the large State of Texas until Mr. Hearst, in his newspapers and on the radio,|, came out for Speaker Garner. | The Speaker is a Texan, and his State is proud | jof him. Hence the suggestion immediately lighted | the fire of enthusiasm from the Louisiana to the| New Mexico border. Our Watch-Tower correspondent at Dallas reports today that “the supporters of Gov- | ernor Roosevelt are stumped in Texas right now. What is the use in trying to make a contest there| against “Jack’ Garner? “If we can't beat ’'em, we'll jine 'em,” is an old political axiom. Our cor-| respondent thinks this will be done, the object being | to make Mr. Roosevelt Texas's second choice and | to have instructed for Mr. Garner delegates who| really want to see New York’s Governor the nom- inee. But that is a delicate and parlous buisness |1t is dangerous, especially in Democratic conven- | {tions with the two-thirds rule, to subject a leadins | candidate to several fruitless ballots. And often| when, by the terms of some underground pledge, the call is made to a State with a favorite son to join the leader, it refuses. The history of con- ventions is strewn with casualties arising from situations like that. Undoubtedly what has happened in Texas is a setback for the Rooseveltians. It does not mean, on the other hand, that Mr. Garner’s- prospects for the nomination are bright. Part of the reason for that is geographical; the candidate must carry the East. But Speakers, although powerful and popular, have not made much headway in conven- tions. Blaine is the only occupant of the House Chair who has been nominated by either party in seventy years. Clark, Randall, Reed and Carlisle are among those who were passed over. Choosing a Career. (Seward Gateway.) Alaska as arrived at a point where it is a ques- tion whether Alaskan-born youth or those from the States will guide its progress. Many young men are graduating from high school, but few are consid- ering building on the foundation thus laid. One of the most immediate and promising fields of endeavor lies in mining. Any high school grad- uate, backed by ambition, may emerge within two or three years with a technical education fitting him for prospecting and eventually preparing him to take up the more important task of technical manage- ment The Fairbanks School of Mines offers Alaskan youth the second step in the march upward. And any youth with the backbone and ambition to be anything more important than a day laborer, may there acquire knowledge which will answer his dreams and at the same time pomote an era of wealth production not as yet equalled in the history of Alaska. It is a matter of whether you are a quitter, a sluggard or whether*yau really have ambitions to climb. Protect the Pulp Industry. (Railway and Marine News, Seattle.) Congress has been asked to protect the pulp and paper industry of the Pacific Northwest and should give ear to the representatives of Western mem- bers. In the last five years manufacturers have spent: millions in plants and equipment with the intention of utilizing the raw materials of this ter- ritory. Today the industry is threatened by foreign competition. Figures for the first ten months of 1931 show that imports into the United States were: From Canada, 1465456 tons; Newfoundland, 130,787 tons; Sweden, 55,795 tons; Finland, 41,569 tons and from Norway, 18,003 tons. Depleted natural resources on the North Atlantic caused paper manufacturers to turn their eyes to the Pacific Northwest, where they are assured ample supplies. The coming of the pulp and paper industry to this section was hailed as a major development, second only to that of lumber. Experience has proved that the existing tariff is too low. The pulp and paper manufacturers need protection and Congress will be remiss in its obliga- tions to the Pacific Northwest if relief is not grant- ed. Domestic manufacturers ask only a chance to meet their foreign competitors on the same level.
