A superintendent of education is a new official provided for by the terri
torial legislature ami one will tie appointed by Governor Strong after his pres- '
ent trip over Alaska.
It is difficult to understand the value of such an official. It is to be pre
sumed that he will go around to the various schools and investigate, but what
will he or what can he investigate? If, as in the British Islands, examiners
were appointed who would be independent of the teachers whose pupils are \
examined, and if examinations were held each year in every school one could
see an advantage coming from the salary expended, hut the mere coming of
S man or woman to glance at the pupils and make them a pedagogic speech
or two can hardly aid the sprouting of the young idea very much. Owing to
the size of the territory and the great roundabout distances to be traversed
it would he impossible to hold examinations of pupils at any fixed period of
the year when time would have been given them to progress at their class
work. Certainly there would hardly he any use in examining a child in the
work of the year before.
The man appointed to be superintendent may not be one w’hit better
qualified than any of the principals of the schools themselves. The candidates
are, as a matter of fact, entirely drawn from the school principals of Alaska.
They are qualified, no doubt, as they have been appointed principals only
after having proven their qualifications but the very same may be said of
everv principal in the territory. Besides all this, the school boards are
usually, perhaps entirely, made up of people who are intelligent enough to
understand the progress made by pupils. Indeed, it can easily be understood
how such an official as this new superintendent might cause a lot of the irri
tation begotten of officiousness without in the least helping the cause of
education. * _

DAWSON.—A letter ha* been re
ceived in the city from Donohoe &
Diamond, lawyers at Valdez, in which
they state that they have been retain
ed to defend James Kingston, formerly
of Dawson, who is held in jail at \ ai
des on the charge of murdering Louis
Schonborn in the Chisana. December
26 last. Information from Mr. King
ston himself direct confirms the ref>ort
that he has retained Donohoe vA Dia
mond.
Kingston was arrested during t'^e
winter, and taken to Valdez immedi
ately. The grand jury has not met
since he was arrested, and is not ex
pected to meet, he says, until Sep
tember. Jack Kingston, brother to
the accused, was at Valdez and in the

case, and afterwards went to work In
the copper mine near Valdez.
Commissioner Mears has made a
hit with the homesteaders in the
Matanuska valley by instructing his
engineers to employ these men where
possible on their homesteads. That
is, where the route passes through a
homesteader’s ground, the homestead
I er is given the work of clearing the
right of way, etc. This makes it
especially convenient for the settlers
for they do not have to leave home to
seek work.
