HENDERSON
 MAKES ANNUAL
 SCHOOL REPORT

The report of Superintendent Les ter D. Henderson to the Juneau Board of Education upon the work of last year. his recommendations to that board in connection with the schools. and outline of his plans for the future. completed yesterday and submitted Co the board today Is as follows:
 Juneau. Alaska, May 24, 1915. TO the Gentlemen of the Board of
 Education,
 Juneau, Alaska
 Sirs:
 l beg to submit, herewith, my first annual report of the Juneau Public schools.
 When l assumed control of the schools on Sept 2, 1914, l found a task of vast proportions confronting me. do not speak too strongly, gen- uemen. when ] say that the schools were in deplorable conditiou-espec. ially SO when Che size Of the town, its resources, the character of it's people and other extraneous condi- tions are considered.
 found a school system which was unique in that it was characterized by entire lack of systematization. There were. in most cases, no rec ords of any kind. The records that did exist were in scarcely usable form. It was impossible to determine what the policy of administration heretofore had been. l found no course of study in either the high school or the elementary school. ] found the high school and Che ele- mentary grades distributed at ran, dom over two separate buildings J found school buildings which were inadequate to meet the needs of mod ern education. ] found inefficient li- brary and laboratory facilities. | found above all things that lack of school atmosphere which must be in- stned into the life of every pupil that spirit of obedience discipline studiousness. applicauou' energy anu perseverance in school tasks. with out which the true end of education cannot be attained. found in gen eral a lack of all those basic prlnct' ples upon which a solid educational foundation must be built. This is, in brief. gentlemen. the condition that confronted me and was the oas' is upon which was expected to tul- nl your desires and anucipations.
 I accepted these conditions as part of my legal relationship and set about adjusting matters. to the best of my ability, as fast as existing con. dihons would permit give m Driel the record of my administration to.

 ''We have the tunnel started. our compressor is installed and everything is in readiness to go ahead, Mir Dodd said this morning. 'The surface indi- cations are very good. the early deyel- opment and exploration looks good and we have every reason to think that we have something worth while

VETS WIN OUT IN
 ELECTION.

Juneau went wet yesterday by ap' proxlmately three to one The vets cast s74 and the drys ssf votes from the regularly registered votes. There were sT0 votes sworn in, placed In en- veiopes. and turned over to Judge Robert ". Jennings to be counted by him il that shall be found necessary These were votes presented by those who were not registered. but who swore that they were residents of Ju neau. |. is estimated that not less than 800 of the 370 are wet.
 or tho registered votes the vets had a clear majority Of 9-that is they re- celyed s74 votes against 965 voting dry and not voting at an. This. of course is not taking into account those of the lsS. signing letters Co the court giving their consent to the sale of liquor. who were registered
 There were 631 registered votes that were not cast. but the managers og the wet campaign have signed and witnessed letters from 19S voters, who represented that they are citizens or the United States. over the age Of 2l years. and residents of Juneau. who could not be at the polls on election day. but who give their consent to the licensing of saloons in Juneau Most of these are believed to be registered voters.
 It is admitted that probably quite a number of dry voters. Knowing that they were registered and therefore that they would count against Che issa- ance whether they voted or not re- frained from voting.
 If the estimate that 800 Of the SiV votes that were sworn in were wet IS correct this would give the vets a grand total of i.s72. and the drys 4O4 rotes This would omit Che uncast vote. though naturally it would, under the law. count dry
 An Analysis.
 A citizen Of Juneau who has given great deal of attention to election sta tistics in Alaska, accepting the esti- mate og 300 wet votes out of the S'V votes that were sworn in. and esti. mating that 15o of the tsS who signed letters eiving their consent to the is- suance Of licenses were registered and that IS were not registered, has sub mitted the following analysis or me
