JUNIOR HIGH
 SCHOOL SYSTEM
 IS NOW ASSURED

Tho bureau of education has is- sued a bulletin which says that the reongnization og education under the junior high school plan or some thing similar Is definitely under way according to Prof. r. H. Briggs, whose rcview Of secondary education has just been issued by the U. S. Bureau of Education.
 The junior high school has been defined "as an organization of grades 2 and 8 or c to g to provide means for individual differences. especially by an earlier intrduction ot prevoca- donal work and of subjects usually taught in the high school There are now 57 cities in the United States where junior high schools are organ ized in unmistakable form.
 cone advantage claimed for the junior high school" declares pr. Briggs. "is that it groups children SO that subjects seldom taught In the grammar grades may be introduced. thereby giving each pupil a more in- teliigent understanding of tho work ot the world. of the possibilities in the subject and in the pupil himself
 'The junior high school also makes easier the transition of pupils to the high school. That the change be- tween Che elementary and the high school should be SO sharp permits no justification. To bridge this sap by earlier introduction to high school subjects and methods Of teaching has greatly improved results. it is claim ed.
 'rhe junior high school has further more greatly decreased elimination of pupils from school This elimination after the seventh. eighth. and ninth grades has been one of the greatest approaches to our educational sys- tenn. Any plan that promises tc re- tain children In school beyond these grades Is worth Of the most careful consideration"
 The statistics given by Dr. Briggs show that 9 much larger per cent. of students enter the high school where junior high schools exist than before they were organized.
 The statistics given by Dr. Briggs show that @ much larger per cent. of students enter high school where junior high schools exist than before they were organized.
 That the junior high school furnish es an opportunity for various need ed reforms in instruction is the fin al claim of the new movement. accord ing to Dr.. Briggs. He points out that in the junior high school a course of study based on the newer principles ot psychology. sociology, and econo- mics. various provisions for individ- ua1 differences, and especially an i'm proved method of teaching. can now be introduced.
 Los Angeles. (Cail High school: Butte CMont) High School; Wiscon- sin High School. Madison. Wis: and Horace Mann School. New York City, are cited as successful organized jun ior high schools. ~Los Angeles havl ing far outstripped an other cities in developing them"

DEsTRoVERs WILL
 LEAVE JUNEAU
 TOMORROW MORNING

At daybreal1 tomorrow the United States torpedo boat destroyers will leave Juneau harbor, on their way to San Diego. their base They will nav lgato by easy stages, stopping at say- eral points along the Inside Passage. The five destroyers arrived here last Tuesday from Sitka. Four of them made the long trip to Kiska, Aleutian Islands.
 The visit of the flotilla to Juneau is credited to Ensign S. B. Robinson of the Whipple. While the Paul Jones. Preble, Stewart and Perry wore making the cruise to the Far Westward. the Whipple, which was lhe last to reach Alaska, owing to be- ing damaged at sea while enroute North. paid the capital city @ visit and Ensign Robinson and Lieut.. Fran cis D. Pryor, commanding her, were fayorably impressed with the city. Ac- cordingly they asked Lieut.. Sharpe, commenting the notilla, to return here on their way South Plans had been made for the fiotllla to visit skagway The arguments of the WhlpDle's officers prevailed.
 No Liquor On DeStroyers
 The notilla of destroyers-like an other ships in Uncle sam's navy is rigidly enforcing the order of Sec rotary Josephus Daniels, Of the Navy Department. forbidding the use of H. quor in the navy except for medicin- al purposes. The medicine lockers aboard the destroyers have one bot tie. and according to the tackles, snake bite, rheumatism and their kindred ills are not enough to secure Q potion of the forbidden liquid.
 The officers of the notilla declare the order of the Secretary has proven to have been a wise regulation, and the efficiency of the navy has been increased since 1t went into effect
 Another sweeping change in nauu- cal doctrine since Mir. Daniels be- came secretary. was that which aban- doned the use of the terms bort" and "starboard," and substituted left" and right"
 Visitors To Squadron
 Hundreds of people visited the flo- tilla yesterday, during the reception hours. The destroyers moved from the city to the Worthen dock when the Dolphin arrived. giving that boat the berth at the city wharf

RECEIVE PApsN'

-r-
 Word was received yesterday that the Commissioner of the General Land Office had confirmed the decision of the local office in the case of Hans Anderson vs. c. M Mumford. as sue cessor of the Brown-Alasl0a Mining Company. Two years ago the Brown Alaska Co. was denied patent on land which they had used as a shelter site on the grounds that the land was non mineral. The company then made application for the same tract as Soldiers Additional Homestead. At that iuncture Anderson advanced his claim to the property on the ground that the land was mineral land. The present decision denies Anderson's claims and it is expected that the Brown-Alasla Company will be granted patent in accordance with their second application.

 In Che Boston Globe, Herbert Corey writes from Milan, under date of July 20. that Che Italian army has gained only a mere nailparing of territory from Austria. It is probable that the Italians have lost far more heavily than the Austrians. The Italian ar- my has not yet learned the lesson that other armies learned months ago-economy of men, Italy probab- ly has as good an army as it could produce in 10 months effort. It has an abundance of ammunition, and Q special feature is the machinery 1t employs for hill climbing. Great mo- tors with spurred wheels, geared to a low speed. are constructed to sur mount almost any grade which it is possible for a horse to mount. When the summit is reached, the motor lb anchored and drum revolvea wind ing a steel cable at the other end of which is Q biz gun. Hundreds of men tail on" to ropes and help the monster up the mountain side. In lthis process, however, the Italians are oftentimes completely moved down from the Austrian defences, which are among the strongest Qualifications ever built. Wire entanglements of the Austrians have been found to be of vanadium steel and of unusual thickness. The Italian people can. not find out what is happening until the wounded return from the firing line and may not awaken to the real ization of It's losses for month.

Ho said no chemical products can take the place of cotton in propulsive ammunition, and that ammunition made from used cotton is not as effective as that made from the unused cotton.
