Japanese Education Outpaces Russia In Public School Spending
Mulhall notes Russia remains illiterate with 60 percent unable to read or write while Japan spends three times per capita on education and enforces compulsory schooling up to age 14. Last year about six million children attended public schools. Japan supports 1000 teachers and 27,500 students in normal schools. France, still behind Germany, has increased its school spending after its 1870 defeat, moving toward Germany’s standard.

Nome Postmaster Describes Alaska Life and Growth
Frank W. Swanton, Nome postmaster, tells the Oregon Daily Journal about Nome living with electric lights and steam heat, despite being a mining town. He notes a winter population of 3000 to 4000 and a summer influx of 10,000 to 12,000 tourists, driven by airline and transport improvements and growing interest from across the country. Mail runs by dog team from Nome to Skagway begin November first and reach January first, with rapid telegram-linked messages to Washington. Swanton predicts better communication once a telegraph line is completed.
