ideals. This scarcity of competent teachers, together with advanced liv- ing costs, has resulted in materially increased salaries Reports from sev- eral Alaska school boards indicate that the people of the territory are being advanced to the point that will make it possible to retain our teach CTS or to replace those who are leav- ing with teachers of equal grade.
 If the matter is thoroughly under stood by the taxpayers there is no doubt as to the action which they will wish taken. No small property owner will object to paying an additional tax of $5 per year where the payment of such a sum means highly competent corps of teachers instead of those who are poorly equipped. The same thing can be said of the business man whose annual tax would be increased $25, or the large property owner to whom an increased tax rate or in creased property valuation would mean $10O additional taxes.
 So writes l.. D. Henderson, cOmmis- sioner of education, in the Alaska School Bulletin.

GOOD TEACHERS ARE A
 NECESSITY

Alaska should keep her good teach CTS. The boys and girls in our schools are entitled to the best that the vari- ous communities and the territory can provide for them, not only in educa- tional but also along recreational, so- eial and other lines. Money invested in making boys and girls physically strong, mentally alert, morally clean and spiritually sound, will produce real dividends for centuries.
 Horace Mann, one of the greatest of Americas educational leaders, has well said "One formatory is worth ten thousand reformatories." The most important formatory which civiliza- tiOn has produced is the American public school, and no other member of society outside the home exerts so potent an influence in moulding the desires, ideals and thoughts of the men and women of tomorrow as the present American public school teacher. Since this is true, no com nunity can afford to offer less than the best to it's boys and girls either in the line of school plant or corps of teachers.
 None but teachers with education, training and high ideals are good enough for the boys and girls of Alaska. We are justly proud of the character of teacher who has been at, tracted to our schools. However, an educational crisis now confronts the nation Many highly competent teach, CTS have left the profession to take up . more lucrative positions. Thousands of teaching positions throughout the United States are being filled by men and women who are poorly equipped as regards education, training and

'It was from this point of view. and

government of the Netherlands that If

have afforded proof Of those feelings

SAYS TRAFFIC REDUCED
BY INCREASE OF FARES

NEW YORK, February 17-In-
creased fares on electric railways ma
terially reduce traffic, DR.. Delos r.
Wilcox. expert analyst to tho Federal
Electric Railways Commission, de-
clared in an address before the City
Club here yesterday. Higher fares,
he added, endanger the business in
terests of city. DR.. Wilcox cited 1E-
ures gathered from all over the United
States.
He said as a general proposition a
40 per cent increase in fare means
only a 80 per cent increase in revenue
and part Of that is due to the normal
increase in traffic.
when the problem Of street railways
becomes so acute. said DR.. Wilcox
that the theory Of private ownership
and public regulation fails to solve the
difficulty, private ownership will have
to be done away with and public own
ership must supplant it.
