practice is carried on to a greater extent among the Russians than any other class. “ Conditions are simply horrible in parts of Alaska which I have visited,” said Mrs Reynolds. “ Women unblushingly sell their daughters just as they would a nugget of gold or a team of dogs. The traffic has reached such proportions that the moral phase of it is lost sight of. Bargains are made openly and under the very noses of the officers. It is amazing
to me that nothing has been done to guarantee protection to these unfortunate children. “ Education is so lacking that the little ones cannot see in the shameful bargain made by their mothers any particular evil, and they, as a rule, become a willing .party to the crime. This is more especially so among the Russians, who seem to have no conception of the moral phase of the matter.”
