A. N. B. IS NOW TO ASSUME
RESPONSIBILITY EDUCA
TION DOUGLAS CAMP
At the regular meeting Monday
evening, Nov. 24th, the Alaska Na
tive Brotherhood took steps to pro
vide for the welfare of the youth of
the camp. The following measures
were adopted:
1. Children must attend school in
proper condition every day during
the session. Parents failing to com
ply with this measure will be notified
and urged to do their duty. A sec
ond failure will be punished with a
fine of .$25.
2. Children under sixteen years
of age must be off the streets by
!>:00 p. m. when the Community
house is open, the one in charge will
ring the school bell.
3. Children must speak English
in and around the school. This is
a co-operative measure, heartily en
dorsed by the teacher in charge.
Four members, to be known as the
School Committee, are empowered to
enforce the above regulations. They
are Messrs. Henry Stevens, Wm.
Howard, Geo. Paul, and Jas. Fox.
They will also assist the teacher in
supervising the community rooms.
Night school will open Dec. 2. A
call for a class in physiology in con
nection with athletics has come from
the young men. This class will meet
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00
to 3:00 p. m. Other classes are to
be planned.
Mr. Stevens and Mr. Howard are
finishing the repairs and all groups
will be ready for work on December
1st.
The action taken by the A. N. B.
is a result of the Hoonah conference
and will likely be carried out by oth
er camps. It is a long step in the
right direction.
Douglas Camp is to be congratu
lated, not only for its prompt and
able response, but for the spirit of
co-operation and good will that has
surrounded the school since the term
began. Already results are appar
ent.

NON-RESIDENT FISHERMEN
There seems to be one plank upon
which both the Republican and the
Democratic nominees stood four
square, and that was that all candi
dates of the First Division are
pledged to work for the placing of
a license tax upon non-resident fish
ermen so high that the fly-by-nigh*
fisherman will be effectually barred
from coming to Alaska. The fol
lowing resolution adopted by the
Alaska Native Brotherhood at H0011
ah last November states in a few
words the principle underlying this
demand. This principle is nothing
more than a proposal to make it
worth while for non-resident fisher
men to become bona fide residents
of Alaska, and in that way to con
tribute to the development of this
Territory in contrast to their present
habit of making yearly raids upon
the resources to the great harm of
our fisheries and of our bona fide
residents.
RESOLUTION
NON-RESIDENT FISHERMEN
WHEREAS, we are striving to up
build the permanent population of
Alaska; and,
WHEREAS, a great many fisher
men come to Alaska only for the
fishing season, buying all their sup
plies outside and taking away all
their earnings; and,
WHEREAS, some means must be
found to make it to their benefit to
remain in Alaska, to build their
homes here and thus help the Ter
ritory;
BE IT RESOLVED that we ask
the Legislature of Alaska to place a
prohibitive tax on all non-resident
fishermen.
