to the folly of running away from home

goods, coupled with such "coaxers." as
he terms his reduction, ought to cer

especially prized by the crew because
Dewey gave them to the boat.
While in Dutch Harbor one of the
crew fell Into the bay and nearly
drowned. Surgeon Carpenter worked

the director.
Even with the queotlon of maintain

There are at least 75 more pupils le

last, and the Increased attendance la

situated that It Is difficult to rellevs
the congestion by assigning surplus pu

all this generalship, though It makfs
the mist of present conditions, does
not raise the revenue.
Probably the present chol board is
as competent a one as could have been
chosen, but some of the prominent clt
tiens who constitute Its membership
think it is not fair that they should
have to bear all the annoyance and re
sponsibility for a condition which was
simply Its official Inheritance. The di
rectors owe It to themselves to have a
financial statement of the district's af
fairs puhlisl.ed, that the taxpayers may
know Just wherein the trouble lies and
help the board with some sensible sng-
gvstlors which may be offered.
"Ii Is probably due to public apathy
that the school situation is not gener
ally known." said one gentleman yes
terduy, ' and it Is the right and duty
of the board to make the public bear It
share of the responsibility. Publish a
detailed statement of the finances and
