Friends of Mr. E. I*. Ziegler will
be pleased to learn of the ever-in
creasing popularity that his pic
tures are gaining on the outside.
Mr. and Mrs. Ziegler are living at
Woodmont, Connecticut; and from
there Mr. Ziegler goes to New Haven
every day to attend his classes at
the Yale Art school.
The Northland club has been es
pecially fortunate in receiving the
large picture, entitled “Taral on j
the Copper River” from Mr. Zieg-|
ler. This is a valuable work and is j
receiving a great deal of attention j
on the outside. A reproduction of
it appeared in the American Maga
zine of Art for October 1920. The |
Copley Prints, whose specialty lie in J
j reproductins of the Old Masters.'
I have written him asking his perinis-l
sion to include it in their list of re
productions.
Mr. Ziegler's future undoubtedly
lies in the painting of Alaskan
scenes and Cordova can be justly
proud of him and his work.

P. J. Ryan will be among the pas
sengers on the southbound North
western on an extended visit to rela
tives whom he lias not seen for
twenty-five years. Mr. Ryan’s itin
erary will include Vancouver, 15. C.,
California, Butte, Chicago, New
York, Boston, and St. Johns, New-]
foundlaud.
Mr. Ryan was born in St,.' Johns, j
Newfoundland in 1870 and came to j
the United States in 1891, of which
country he has since been a good
citizen and has lived in every state [
in the union.
During the last three years, how- >
ever, hard luck has been pretty close '
on the heels of Mr. Ryan. He was j
a survivor of the big lire in Butte j
in 1918, after which lie came to
Alaska. At Katalla, while in the
employ of the Davies Co., Mr. Ryan
became lost in a snowstorm, and
spent four days and four nights with
tlie wolves. Recovering from this j
experience, Mr. Ryan returned, only j
to be burned by a gas engine. With ;
his health shattered and one hand
crippled from his last, accident, Mr.
Ryan believes that he' deserves a
vacation on the outside.
The Afternoon Sewing Club was
pleasantly entertained at the home
of Mrs. T. S. Scott on Thursday
last. Tea was served at the close
of the "day’s labor.”

Mrs Helen Bell is in Ketchikan
but is expected to pay a visit to
Cordova in the near future.
A1 Norgren, an old time Cordovan
was recently seen in Seattle, which
he has adopted as his new home.
* * *
A number of inquiries have been
I made by people on the outside about
| Alaska and the chance of getting j
| positions up here. All recent re-j
ports from Seattle have emphasized
the lack of employment in that city
and have advised Alaskans to say
where they are.

SOLDIERS IN ARMY TO BE GIVEN
chance [or a thorough college edu
cation will soon he open to qualified
soldiers of the United States army.
From the first grade to the final
collegiate degree, the way is being
paved by the war department, with
the co-operation of numerous educa
tional institutions, for a complete
training in all academic and in many
technical courses.
By the autumn of 1921 it will be
possible for more than 100 quali
fied soldiers to lay aside their uni
forms and enroll as students in as
many colleges throughout the coun
try.
While this project is an entirely
new departure for the military es
tablishment,. it is the result of a
definitely conceived plan to make i
the army an organization of the full
est educational opportunity and to
offer soldiers the same chance for
mental improvement which they
might secure in civil life.
The present educational and voca-:
tional program of the army, which
has been in operation for more than
a year, includes elementary and sec
ondary subjects and it is now pos
sible for the soldier to obtain the
equivalent of a high school educa
tion. The arrangement which has
been made by the war department
and various educational institutions
throughout the country will enable
soldiers to continue their education
with a minimum of expense to them
selves.
While (he project is still in a
forinulative stage, a sufficient num
ber of colleges have offered scholar
ships to insure full opportunity for
every soldier who desires these edu
cational advantages. Prom thirty
eight institutions have come assur
ance that tuition and other assist
ance will lie given students, fifty-two
colleges have signified their ability
to grant tuition or a reduction still
have the matter under advisement
and several others• declare that they
will make every effort to further
the war department’s plan.
The scholarship question was first
brought to the attention of the coun
try's educators through a letter ad
dressed to the presidents of -the
leading institutions by the secretary
of war who said in part:
“The war department is at present
engaged in putting into effect a
carefully considered - plan intended
to improve the' army, make .it more
attractive to young men and demon
strate that it is a vital and natural
part of the social organism of the

nation. We are endeavoring to con
vince these young men that in
serving in the army they are not
only performing a patriotic duty, but
are acquiring a training in a useful
trade, receiving the elements of an
education and are having their char
acters developed. The war depart
ment has arranged with the advice
and assistance of some of the best
educators in the country, a school
course for soldiers in the army
which includes elementary Sub
jects and a system of vocational
training, tlie equivalent of that given
in a good civilian trade-school. This
pirn is in actual operation at the
present time and about sixty per
cent of the soldiers are availing
themselves of these courses.
"I believe that army services may
be made still more attractive by
opening io our soldiers an oportunity
for higher education and training
and it has occurred to me that one
of the possible avenues that might
be so opened is one leading to and
through our great universities and
other institutions of learning. A
certain number of soldiers are ap
pointed to cadetships at the United
States military academy at West
Point each year, hut it is believed
to be desirable to broaden the scope
of the opportunities offered them so
that those who wish may pursue
other educational courses than that
leading up to a commission in the
army.
"in every regiment, camp, post and
station of the United States army,
are to be found soldiers with ambi
tion for such higher education and
Ute ability to pursue it, but without
the means to that end. Would it'
not be possible for the universities I
■ [ our country to each establish one1
patriotic scholarship for sucli de-1
serving young men?
"This scholarship to be open only
to citizens of your stale who have
served honorably through an enlist
ment, who have received a character
of “Excellent" on their discharge,
and who have been especially select
ed and recommended for the scholar
ship from among the enlisted per- J
sound of the organizations of the'
United States army, either serving!
in your state or allocated to it, by!
the commanding officers of these
organizations.
"I feel that our country at large
has never fully appreciated its obli
gation to the .voting men who have in
peace time performed the necessary
military service of the nation. The
suggested scholarship is only one of
the means I have in mind to. in a!
measure, discharge this obligation to
those men competent to profit by it.
And I will add further that the es
tablishment of such patriotic scholar
ships at our universities will, I am
sure, cause a spirit of emulation in
the service, will raise our own stand
ard of education in the army to meet
the requirements, and will result in
mutual good and mutual respect of
great value to the country at large.
‘‘I wish to make it clear that the
beneficiaries of such scholarships
shall he at liberty to take any course
available at the institution, that they
are to he entirely free from any fur
ther military control or discipline in
their choice, or in their lives at the
institution.”
The following is the tentative out-1
line of the policy to be followed in ;
connection with the proposed schol- i
arships:
1. That eligibles for scholarships!
i he confined to men who are now in ,
the service or who will he enlisted!
at future date.
2. That they will not he enrolled!
as students in any institutions until
I after their discharge from the ser-!
j N ice.
| 3. That all applicants for scholar
| ships shall be recommended before
I discharge and that the length of en
listment shall have no effect upon
a man’s eligibility.
4. That a standard system of test
ing be formulateed, which will be
general throughout the service and
acceptable to all institutions offering
scholarships. This system to be de
veloped after consideration of the
various standards required for insti
tutions offering the scholarships.
The general process of qualifica
tion of the candidates according to
the suggested plan is: (a) Recom
mendation to corps area commander
by Immediate commanding officers
of men who, after competitive op
portunity. have attained the educa
tional standard; (b) selection by the
corps area commander of applicants

“The Bank of Personal Service’’
to fill existing scholarship vacancies
after careful consideration of record,
character and service.
It is contemplated that some
agency of the war department will
he responsible that a candidate,
once enrolled in an institution, is
followed in his career, thus morally
obligating the army to keep in
touch with its representatives.
In order that more complete data
may be secured from the various in
stitutions and in order that full op
portunity to institute and develop
suitable tests may be afforded, it
has been decided to postpone the
operation of these scholarships un
til September, 1921.
The present plan contemplates
that the applicant for a scholarship
must be either a native of the state
from which tho scholarship is of
fered or a member of an organiza
tion allocated to that state.
Favorable replies to the letter of
the secretary of war were received
from many institutions.
