We need more Pauls more of those fellows who talk less and do more. . . , '. The great problem which confrontf enthusiasts over - school gardens and Children's Industrial cluba is not how to secure Interest in ths beginning but how. to keep up the interest until re sults can be secured. Children will quickly accept new Ideas and will begin to execute them with much enthusiasm, but they as readily transfer this activ ity to something else that seems more Inviting at the time, and will forget the garden. Hence to succeed in the gar dening movement with the children we must adopt methods, that will bring quick results or secure the interest of parents to such extent 'that the) " cars nccesaafy"wfire given wheV school is out The key to success Is information and Interest useable Information and lasting Interest , The school children of Multnomah county have been Interested in growing flowers ' snd vegetables for more than a half dosen years, under the direction of the teachers. Our principal crops have been sweet peas, asters, radishes. popcorn and potatoes. We have enjoyed our radish races perhaps more than any other phase of the work. Children get their ground ready at home, radish seed are' secured, all plant the same day. The teacher watches the results and calls fer-eaclr to bring in a half dozen of his best radishes. Kaucers and salt - sre provided, snd after the prizes Tiave been awarded by a committee of par ents, a radish feast ends the contest. One little eight-year-old confided to the writer thatjfhe had found a secret for making radishes grow fast When asked to explain he demurred, saying that he wanted to keep , that to himself so as to win next time also, .".f .,., ' .

The interest will be kept alive and the gardening movement will, have more Pauls and not so many Clauds. No better opportunity csn bo found to Impress a correct moral lesson.

"Owing to the usual lack of vital statistics in a pioneer country such as this, the exact facts on which to bsse an opinion have never been available and most of the statements have been kept by the churches snd they show that for a period of five years and seven months the annual birth, rate has been T2.I per thousand and the annual death rate 15.4 per thouaand. During this period,. with an estimated popula tion of 400, there were 29 more deaths than births. X--: ' " -i---- "Tht returns of the United States census buresu show that in the last 10 years there has been a decrease in the total Indian population approximately equal to 14 per cent, or 1 per cent per year. This corresponds very closely with the rates as figured at Sitka, and they may be taken as indicating fairly correctly the rates for the whole coun try. Ths death rate lnthe United States varies from 7 to S per thousand to 8 per thourand, depending upon the local ity. An average death rata may be placed at 22 to 21 per thousand. "The very unusual mortality in Alaska is to be attributed largely ; to pulmonary tuberculpsis, and unless It is checked In some way It will result in the extinction of the natives In (0 or 70 years. Fortunately, it la . counter, acted to a certain extent by an unus ually large birth, rate, but the birth rate will probably decrease as time goes on." Would Establish Sanitarium. rv-v Tn accordance wJth these findings. Dt. Foster's recommendations Include the establishment of a tuberculosis sani tarium, provision for which is made in the appropriation bill which the bureau of education has before congress. Con servative estimates put the proportion of natives suffering from tubercular trouble at from 20 to BO per cent This Is in addition to some IB per cent who have diseases of the eye and an unusu ally largs percentage of sufferers from specific blood poisoning or allied dis eases. Without medical attention, na tives mingling with the whites furnish an element of considerable danger to the entire population of Alaska. The need for a, hospital Is. empha sised toy Dr. Foster, who reports! , i 7 :. Bospltala Heeded.
