Better School Buildings.

In review Of the educational situa-
ton in Maryland as at present pre-
scented. the Baltimore Suns educa-
tional expert, who conducts a column
in that journal, had the following in
a recent issue relative to Garrett
county's proposed bond issue for the
purpose of building and equipping the
buildings which are absolutely neces-
sary for the comfort and convenience
of the children of the county unless
it is desired that they grow up in ig
norance: Garrett county has al
ready taken an initial step in this d.
rection, (for better school buildings),
and has planned to ask the Legislature
at its coming session to authorize the
county officials to submit to the voters
a proposal to issue bonds for school
buildings. 1t might be possible to
escape bond issue if the school build
ings had not been permitted to drag
so far behind construction in all its
other branches, but our school build
ings are so Anticipated that it will de-
mand in most counties more money
than could possible be raised from
taxation to get the buildings generally
up to anything like decent stand :
When Annapolis begins to buzz "
the turning of legislative wheels ear
in the year both the Executive MAJ
sion and General Assembly may work
out a program for building improve
ment that can be somewhat generally
adopted. In the meantime the school
officials of the several counties will
do well to look over their present
buildings and determine, not what is
desirable, but the minimum amount
Of construction work that is actually
necessary, and then, through confer
ences and committees building pro-
gram for the entire State may be
worked out"

this poor old sick world of ours. But
the trouble is, it is more than sick
spiritually-it is as dead as a door
nail. 1t cant even revive itself, much
less heal its diseases, especially the
awful disease of sin. Sin is making
its inroads. 1t is the cause of all the
trouble and unrest that affiicts the
world today. Men are racking their
brains to discover a panacea for the
ills of the world.They are good enough
as far as they go: they may be help
full in stimulating the patient and

fall far shore of a cure.

few of the most prominent?

regeneration. Regeneration means to
be born again. This means, then, that
society, as it is now organized, must
be born again. But how? By what

what is desired for it, or who can lift
it out of its present state into one of

SAVING DAYLIGHT.

The daylight saving plan, which was instrumental during the war in effecting the saving of vast quan- titles of fuel throughout the world, appears to be regarded with less favor in this country, now that the war is over, than in England, where the plan has been found so bene- ficial as to create a demand for it's permanent adoption. In our owl. country there is a movement on foot, among members of Congress. to repeal the law which made the saving of fuel possible without caus- ing inconvenience to consumers, notwithstanding the fact that every

STEAMER LEFT SATURDAY
 FOR FAIRBANKS

The A.-Y. N. steamer Panama, under the command of Captain George Green, arrived in port from Dawson and way points at 9 p. m. on Saturday last, and sailed again for Fairbanks shortly after mid night.
 She had a cold storage barge and the launch Sibilla in tow. The latter was to connect with the Carl White launch bringing the mail from Fairbanks and return to Daw- son, but as the Tolovana launch had not shown up at the time of the arrival of the Panama, the Si- billa proceeded upstream to meet her, returning to port at about 8 a. m., with the mail and passengers from the Carl White launch. She sailed again at about a. m. for Dawson, with the mail from the local postoffice.
 The passengers arriving at Ne mana on the Panama were John Pompass, w. Elwell, F. Hever, Jack Reynolds, Thomas Edmonds, Joe Meheren, H. C. Dunlap, M. Dunn, W. Kelley, Ed Anderson, J. McKen- zie, William Stewart, L. Predrette, c. H. Hines, and Sam Kote.
 District Attorney R. F. Roth was a passenger on board in transit for Fairbanks, the only passenger join ing the boat here being Tom Me Donald.
 About forty tons of general mer- chandise, consigned to local mer- chants, the mail from Dawson and way points and some express were here.

utilitarian argument which applied during the war is equally valid now. What reasons our congressman have for desiring the repeal of the law we have not yet been informed, but whatever the reason given, the re- suit of a repeal would be added cost to living throughout the States in increased fuel and light bills.
 It will be hard to convince Alas kans that the plan lacks merit in peace as well as war time. The plan was adopted in Alaska years before the European war started and has met with such success that it may be said to be almost a fixed feature of life in the North.
 There is difference between daylight saving in the North and daylight saving in the States, how ever. The season of the year for saving, as prescribed by Congress, is not suitable for saving in Alas ka. As in many other matters af- fecting Alaska, the regulation of hours of daylight should be left to those who are familiar with condi- tions. And for that reason Alas kans will not offer opposition to the proposed repeal of the law now regulating time in the States. Such law is not needed in this country, especially one that does not con- form to our climatic conditions. Of what benefit to Alaska, we would like to know, is a law which sets the clocks ahead when our hours of daylight are greatly in excess of the hours of darkness, and turns them back when the conditions are reversed? Where is the saving now, for instance, with the sun visi- ble for approximately twenty hours, and no darkness at all?
 The federal statute, as it now stands, is of no help to Alaska, but the plan is helpful to the States and should not be abandoned to satisfy the whim of some congress man. The inconvenience which day light saving will cause to a few should not be allowed to interfere with the real benefit which it brings to the many.

The plan of the signal corps .o erect wireless station in Interior Alaska, which will make possible the abandonment of the antiquate military cable upon which Northern CTS have been compelled to to de. pend for Outside communication during the past many years, will meet with hearty approval in the North, where frequent interruptions to the cable service have been a source of great annoyance and needless expense to the public.
 An auxiliary cable to relieve the strain upon the present cable and to insure uninterrupted communica tion with the States, has been ad- vocated for a number of years, but the installation of powerful wire less stations will be better solu- tion of the problem. insuring great CT efficiency in service and reduced maintenance costs, combination which should speed the work to early completion.

STAY WITH THE SCHOOL

The value of staying at school is stated in dollars and cents in figures compiled by the bureau of education and now being distributed to boys and girls throughout the country by the children's bureau.
 From study of a large number of actual cases it has been found that at 25 years of age the boy who remained in school until he was Is had received $2,O00 more salary than the boy who left school at IA, and that the better educated youth was then receiving more than $900 year more in pay.
 'This is equivalent to an invest ment of $18,000, at , per cent the statement said. Gan a boy in crease his capital as fast in any other way?
 "From this time on the salary of the better educated boy will rise still more rapidly, while the earn- ings of the boy who left school at IA will increase but little"
 While wages have increased with the war, the proportions shown in a table of weekly earnings still hold true, the statement said. The boy who left school at 14 at the time of investigation was made received an average of $4 week, his wages increasing each year to $7 week at IS. The boy who remained in school until he was IS began work at $10 a week. At 20 the salaries were S950 a week for the boy who left school early and $15 for h;s better trained competitor. At 25 they were earning $12.75 and $31 respectively, and total wages up to that time had been $5,112.50 and $7,33750, so that the boy who re- mained in school had earned nearly 50 per cent more in eight years than the other lad in 12 years.
 "Children should stay in school as long as possible because educa tion means better jobs," the child ren's bureau urges. Boys and girls who go to work at the end of gram mar school rarely get good jobs. They work they find to do is usually unskilled; it offers little training or chance for advancement. When they are older they find they are still untrained for the skilled work which offers a future. Education means higher wages.
 Many boys and girls when they leave school find work that offers high wage for beginner. But these wages seldom grow because the work requires no training.
 "A position with a future and steady increasing wages requires school training.
 Does it pay to continue your studies? Education means a sue cessful and useful life; it pays the individual. Education means eff cient workers; it pays the nation. Show this to your parents and ask them what they think about it. Stay in school"
