Cleanliness Is Next to Goodness" Is the Slogan of All
Children Attending Bancroft Public School
Children Observing Com.
mandments of Neatness
Given Small Cloth
Shield to Wear for
the Day.

A small boy. who responds to the
name Of Jim, appeared at the Ban
croft school last Wednesday morn
ing, crying as if he was carrying q
terrible weight of woe. Principal
Austin observed the tear-stained
face and she asked the youngster to
explain his grief. He related that a
neighbours goat had made raid on
his home shoe-shining equipment,
and thus he had been unable to
shine his shoes that morning. He
feared that he would be unable to
earn perfect score in the personal
cleanliness work which is carried on
in this school. Miss Austin found
backing and brush and the boy
quickly put a shine on his shoes
Tears were dispelled and a happy
smile appeared. He was given his
daily shield, which indicates that he
had observed the 10 command
ments of cleanliness.
This is illustrative of the work
that is being done among the chill
dren of Bancroft school. Each child
who appears at school with evidence
of having observed the following
commandments is given a small
shield to wear for the day: Necktie
or hair ribbon properly adjusted,
face, neck, ears and hands clean;
hair combed, nails attended, shoes
blackened, No holes in stockings,
and clean teeth.
Bath Means 10 Points.
Complete observance Of these
rules entities child to score of
so for the school week, and bath
adds 10 more points to the weekly
score.
Allowances are made for boys
and girls whose home conditions are
not conducive to the best results.
Miss Austin told of the case of a
Mexican boy whose parents live in
a BOX car at Gibson. He finally
caught the spirit of the movement
and when he started to Spruce up"
he made some of the other kiddies
"sit up and take notice" He went
down to l0-cent store and bought
some buttons which Miss Austin
sewed on where they would do the
most good He bought tooth
brush and the other day Miss Austin
said she believed she could detect
the aroma of perfume on his coat.
He takes a weekly bath and has
not experienced any i'll effects from,
that ablutionary treatment.
"a mother told me that since our
system has been stared there has
been considerable scrubbing in her
home, which she had been unable to
accomplish by herself" related Miss
Austin.
Shields Against Disease"
The small cloth shields which the
children wear are symbolized as
Shields against disease" Group
consciousness is awakened by wear
ing these shields. Those who fail
to win them are, as rule, spurred
to greater effort to merit them on
another day. '-E-
An extension feature of this work
will be merit system for home
work, such as washing dishes, help
ing care for the baby, sweeping
floors and otherwise helping mother
or father.
Helpful cooperation in all of this
work is given by student assistants,
comprising two students elected
from each room by the children.

DIRECTORS ARE ELECTED FOR
 BUSINESS MEN
Meeting of the Juneau Commercial Association Last Evening Also DiS-
 CuSSed Boat Service

At the special meeting of the Ju neau Commercial Association held last evening in the office of the Pub licity Bureau the question of boat transportation was thoroughly dis cussed The committee recently ap- pointed to investigate the situation and canvass stock subscriptions to a new company to be organized for putting another steamer on the Sitka run reported that considerable inter- est is being manifested in the pro- ject by local people but that nothing very definite could be accomplished until more data as to costs and pros pective tonnage is available.
 Members of the committee held conference yesterday with Dr. E. II Kaser of the Kaser-Davis Transpor tation Company, now operating the Estebeth on the Sitka and Skagway routes Dr. Kascr who was at the meeting last night with James Davis stated that his company would be glad to cooperate with the business men of Juneau at any time toward the improvement of the boat service but that he felt that there was not enough business to warrant the plac ing of another steamer on the run or supplanting the Estcbeth with 9 larger boat.
 The committee was instructed to continue its investigations and re port to the Association in 90 days Most of the members at tho meeting expressed the opinion that if another steamer were placed on the run in conjunction with the Estebcth good schedule could be worked out that would give Port Walter ard other important points more direct service than they arc now receiving and de vclop much new business.
 Directors Elected.
 The following Directors were elect cd last night Charles Goldstein, w. c. Johnson, Allen Shattuck, A. J. Ficken. Ed. c. Russell and J. J. Con. nors. The new Board will meet within the next few days and per feet organization. including the cleo tion of a President and Secretary and Treasurer.
