The teacher has noth ing to do with the recitation then but to direct the groups. Socialized Recitation teaches the child how to conduct himself in group and how to take kindly criticism In this way good citizenship is formed and the children become self reliant and also learn the correct use of their mother tongue.

 The champions of Alaska! That sounds rather large, doesn't it? But that is what the Juneau girls can call themselves now that they have defeated the Douglas team in all the games played. The last game, played Friday evening. ended with the slightly onesided score of IA to 3, which spelled Victory" in large letters for the Juneau team. The girls practiced hard and deserved all the glory they received. When the game was over the team enjoyed a light lunch at the home of Misses Esther and May Cashen, followed by the jitney dance given in the nata- torium. The lineup was as follows. Center. Lulu Koskey: Side Center. Helmi Janiksela; Forwards, Nadia KashevaKoff and Marian Summers; Guards, Leila Ptack. Sybl Campbell Subs, Frances Morris and Ideal Hen drickson.
 Nadia Kashevaroff had the honor of making all the points for the home team but il really is a hard matter to say who really was the star as nothing can beat the guarding of Leila Ptack and Sybil Campbell as shown by the way they held the Douglas forwards down to one field basket and a free t ow. The cen ters worked hard ald succeeded in keeping the ball down at the Juneau basket the majority of the time.
 There was another game played Friday night between the teachers of both schools. This was a fast game and although our team worked hard. our opponents carried home the bacon" The teachers cannot but be termed good losers as their de- feat did in no way dampen their spirits and they revelled in the vic tory of the girls. The teachers line up. was as follows: Center, Saxton; Side-center, Moss; Forwards. Park, Nixon, Guards. E. Nixon and Lang, These games marked the end of the basket ball season.

The students on each side have succeeded in convincing themselves thoroughly that their side is right but can not convince the other. They have tried many ways 10 settle the question hunt. ing in every publication of an en cyclopedia that can be found in the city. in dictionaries and asking oldei people but so far to no avail. The joke about Pat and Mike has been used as an illustration Probably many of you have heard it but fol the benefit of those that have not. will retell it.
 Pat-Oh well, what difference can the nationality of a man make, any way?
 Mike-Why sure an my man fl is that that counts most.
 Pat-How do you figure it out?
 Mike-Well sir, supposin' eat gave birth to kittens in the oven of an abandoned stove: would ye call em biscuits?
