right man by election are very feW. He must be carefully chosen.
 Of course, the real test of this plan lies in the accomplishments effected by it's substitution for the old way. In no city that has so far made the change is there any dissatisfaction with the new way or inclination to return to the old. In all cities the several departments have shown marked increase in efficiency. The debt of Springfield, Ohio, was reduced almost fifty per cent. in a year and a fallacy discovered in the account ing system which had been leading the people to believe that they were receiving twice as much as they really were. It was found here that the fire and police departm ents were a great deal larger than they needed to be and employed more men than the city could afford to pay These con- ditions were the results of petty pol itics, but businesslike methods soon remedied them. Many other changes too numerous for discussion here, raised the efficiency of the govern ment to a much higher level than 1t ever was before. Where before most men owed their offices to their po- litical connections, today every man in Springfield Is an expert in his line.
 Dayton's problem of rehabilitation was even more vast than was Spring fields. Dayton was one of the most sham efully graft-ridden cities in our country until the introduction of this system. Today, under Manager Waites able leadership, she may hold her head as high as any of our cities.
 The city manager plan has passed it's experimental stage. It is an ac- complished reality with an immeasur able future before it, to make city life thing of order system and clear minded business. The plan is fraught with a great hope-the hope of the rejuvenation of American municipal governments and the elevation of their administration to the highest point of honor and efficiency. And with the intelligent help of the Amer ican people-for nothing can be ac- complished without their full coz operation-the brilliant future of this plan, which peers through the haze of present-day municipal weakness, will be as great as its most ardent supporters could expect or wish 1t to be-

 Down at Atlantic City is Cabelus, working as a life guard. One day while strolling along the beach, he met Durham. Durham asked if they sold sea water to the people who wanted to take salt water baths in their rooms, "Cabby' thought he would have some fun, so he said, "Yes, fif- teen cents pail, two pails for quar- ter" Durham thought that was too much and walked on. Later when it was low tide, "Cabby' met Durham again and the first thing Durham said to him was, Gee, you've sold a lot of water since morning, haven't you? Who'd have thought it?"

to go to school all day. However we soon got accustomed to seventy min ute periods, and now one session seems only a dream of the past. The next happening of interest was
 'Senior Day." which had been care fully planned. The girls appeared in
 plentifully- powdered hair done up in colonial style, while the gray hairs of the boys were parted in the mid dle. This effort was thought worthy of celebration, and an informal dance was indu1ged in. Friday of that week the gym was the scene of two differ ent affairs. The first was the basket
 ball game with Hartford, which was won by our five after a very close game. Captain Schmidt, Buell., Breckenridge, CabeIus, Parker and Sol omon were 1916's contribution to the squad. That night Leap Year dance was given for the benefit of the class book. The girls seized their op portunity and there was a very large attendance.
 In the spring-or at least it was late enough for spring, being May 5, the senior show was given. Two short plays written by seniors were acted and songs and dancing were given by a chorus.
 A service league has been formed, which has for it's aim public service even through personal inconvenience. Membership is limited to those who have done some service to the school or community, and should be very highly prized by those possessing it.
 We were now busily occupied with the incidentals of graduation-our oiot,, rirJc mean) and, with few the question of whether we were to graduate or not.
 And now tonight we are assembled to review our past and to predict our future before we leave our alma ma ter and go out into the world for what?

! RECORD

The remarks Of Judg0 Rasmuson before the Sunday school Conyen- ton contain the seed for thought which, f planted in the lives of the people, will blossom out into a beautiful tree with roots SO firmly imJedded in the soil of life, that 10 storm will be strong enough to shake them.
 The judge referred to the popula- tiuh of Alaska as being 100000 in ls2U, but in making this estimation. he empnasized the point that the population should not be counted by mer5 numbers but by the character of the people who have chOsep to make this their home, the place where they will rear their children aud educate them into the Citizanry Of the Union.
 SkaFway, as a town, takes second place to none, when quality ot her people is considered. Hospitality and welcome emanates from every cOuuteGAnCe.
 l. Is worthy of note to consider he figures given out at the Sun day School Convention which show thas Alaska, and particularly Skas- way, can show a larger pro rata Rt- tendance at the various Sunday schools per population of each towRu than even the best centers in the States.
