The first meeting of the second year of the Parent-Teacher assOcia- tion was held in the school building Friday evening, Oct. 1, at o'clock.
 The gathering was called to order by Mrs. A. N. Rousseau, Prest dent, who made the following re- marks:
 hTe Parent-Teacher association is now beginning on Its second ysS='S work. This organization is the outgrowth of a desire on the part of both parent and teacher to put the Skagway school on an equal footing with the schools of other communities. The experience of those interested in educational well fare has proven that many Btudentr who ranked high in book learning lacked executive ability in putting into use that knowledge when com batting the problJms of after life, A knowledge of books Is worth only as much to the individual as can be put to use, and that which iR stored away in mind without the ability of It's possessor to put into practice is worthless,
 As a result of the demand for more useful men and women fin the world, the schools are being equipped with the necessary con- veniences for educating the pupil along more practical lines, thus en- abling the child to put his reason ing pow CTS into fuller activity and to be a help to his parents in doing things well while acquiring 6 broad CT outlook on life.
 Recognizing the lack Of some of these advantages in the SRagwRy school the Parent-Teacher associa- tion put forth an effort to supply that need with the result that do- nestle science, manual training and horticultural work were introduced during the last term with gratifying results, considering the handicap under which the work wsE dons- Last year the work of the teachers iu these branches was voluntary, but this term the school Board has with commendable public spirit al- lowed a small monthly stipend for those who have ip charge the do-

LAWS TO PROTECT CHILDREN.
tFrom Rradstreet's Journal9

Laws in the interest Of children were en-
acted by forty-fve state and territorial legis-
latures and by Congress this year. Among
these laws, provisions for dependent, delin-
quent and defective minors naturally bulk
large. 1t appears from review of this legis-
lation by the National Children's Bureau that
twenty seven states have modified their pro-
visions for dependent children, while eighteen
have amended their laws relating to Juvenile
delinquents, and fourteen have legisfated re-
earding the mentally defective Child labor
laws have been strengthened by sixteen states.
Legislation providing for better vital statistics.
Including the important feature of improved
birth registration, was enacted by four states.
Nine states passed playground laws. Three
states and the District of Columbia enacted
legislation permitting the use of public school
buildings as social centers Other subjects
dealt with by the state and territorial legisla-
lures were compulsory education, vocational
instruction, juvenile courts, mothers pensions,
etc. In number of states it is apparently felt
that sufficient basis of fact upon which to
found legislation is not at present available,
and in consequence number of commissions
have been appointed to make study of con-
ditions and report recommends The ina
pulse to- Legislation in aid of children is not
confined to the continental United States; as
may besgathered from the fact that Porto Rico
has enacted juvenile court law, while Hawaii
has passed acurfew law for girls under sixteen
in Honolulu, and the Philippines have provided
for dental clinics IN the schools and for the est
tablishment of social centers,

THE PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM

Tho swar games which have been worked
out at the annual army maneuvers in and
arounH Honolulu are beating ffaits ia recon,
mendttions at Washingtoh. -
Associated Press dispatches yesterday made
no secret of the fact that more. men are needed
on Oahu for the defense of Pearl Harbors This
means that the maneuvers and military theor-
ling have shown that an enemy force could
now be landed and secure the most important
naval base which Uncle Sam has upon the
Pacific. The program as proposed, with more
than 10000 men here should safeguard against
this.
Though there are differences between the
report of the special War College board, which
was made public yesterday, and Secretary
Garrison's recommendations, made public in
the presidents message last Tuesday, the
points of difference are such that whatever the
compromise it is bound to represent long
step forward in preparedness. Secretary Gar
rison calls for regular army of 141 900 men,
whereas the War College report asks 121 600.
At the same time, if other defensive points are
to be strengthened in anything like the pro-
portion which is suggested for Oahu, the in
crease is bound to bring the regular army above
121 900.
Since the Republican members q Congress
are bound to make some political capital out
of the preparedness program, they will hard
ly seek to reduce the figures of the Democratic
administration, for the temper of the country
is plainly for adequate defense measures and
to keep in step with public sentiment, the Re
publicans will be strongly ferS military and
naval expansion.
It IS indeed, at least possible that the Re
