SOME OF THE CAUSES WHY
 JUNEAU PUPILS ARE BEHIND
 IN THEIR STUDIES ARE GIVEN

? est of the pupils in the room canno be expected to wait.
 Not only are pupils who do nc attend school regularly taking nor time for their education than the should, but the Encouragement du to this irregularity and the fact tha hey are in a grade with younge boys and girls who get along bette >n the average, cause them in man, cases to drop out of school alto gether Children who are doing goot work and up with their grade seldom leave before they have acquired { fair education.
 We are now trying by special helI Q bring these backward pupils up {. grade as far as we are able with ths means at our command. There art several boys and girls in the frs grade who will at the end of the yea De promoted to the third. This i. possible only through great deal o coaching by the primary teachers.
 But the real cure for the situa ion lies outside of the school, 1t i' n the hands of the parents. strong compulsory attendance law such as is becoming more and more he rule in all the states of Ou country, with adequate provision fo enforcement, is perhaps the great est single need. But in the absence If such a condition the bare knowl edge of the actual state of affair nay help to prevent retardation il he future It is with this hope tha he results of this study are mad public at this time.
 I realize that conditions in flask are somewhat different from thos in most of the other sections of tn United States. It Is often dffficul md some times impossible to sent children to school. Conditions in tn Juneau Public schools are probabl no worse than those in other parts o the Territory if they arc as bad But because I feel so keenly the i'm mense economic and social loss tha s direct result of this situation, have made the statement above.

OUTPOUR|NC IS
 EXPECTED. FOR
 GRAND BENEFIT
Every Reason to Believe That Appeal for Slide Victims Will Witness
 a Big Turnout

Remember the datei
 Next Friday evening there will Ee free show at the Palace theatre far the benefit of the slide victims, with good moving picture program and local talent. No admission will te charged, but those entering may make voluntary contributions Ey throwing in a tub in the lobby any thing from dime upward.
 One victim of the slide now lies at the undertaking parlor with n1 means in sight for burying him. All of his personal belongings were de stroyed in the slide, and so far it has been impossible to find out whe- ther he has any relatives.
 Some of those living and lying at the hospital injured saw their life savings swept away. The purpose of the benefit is to see that they may be temporarily provided until they are again well enough to take up the burdens of life.
 Some one asked Manager John T. Spickett if he was not taking a chance by not charging any admis- sion, and he replied: Not with Alaskans. An appeal has never gone unheeded in the north. The people of Alaska are children of the world who have knocked about and have a wide experience, great tolerance and open handed hospitality. All that is necessary is to place the facts be fore them, and they will do the rest.

"One group of pupils in the public schools has received a great deal of attention from educators in the last ten years,-+the children that are re tarded or behind their grade" said Edgar A. Stanton, superintendent of the Juneau Public school.
 "A few days ago a study of condi. tions in the elementary department of the Juneau Public schools was un dertaken by the superintendent and teachers. The ages of all the child ron were first obtained and then they were grouped according to age and grade. For the first grade the figure is not significant because children start school any time between five and a half and eight.
 Below is given a list of the per cents for each grade first "A" those ahead Of their grade; "N," those o' normal age, and R." those behind their grade.

Reta rded


 "Now it is not expected that in any school system 100 per cent of the pupils will be up with the grade O. ahead of 1t. a retardatiop of ten pe' cent is considered nornftl But ir our own school the average of tho9f behind the grade in the elementar' school is almost 32 per cent. I should be remembered in this con nection that few of those boys anf girls are three years or more be hind,
 "The question of the cause of thi: condition at once arises. The un thinking person might say ct onc( that it is the result of poor teaching But this is true to only G very smal degree. In order to determine the true cause a personal investigation was made of all cases where the pupil was retarded more than a shor time. Studies mrde in the state have shown that changing schools is the largest single factor in causing pupils to fail of promotion. As wa' expected this was an important factol in the education here. But still moro retarding has been caused by tho practices of starting late in tho school year, stopping early in tht spring and nonattendance for par of all of the term because of nf school in the place where the child ren were at that time.
 "Tt is true that some of the pupil! now behind their grade would be re terded even If they had gone tt school regularly because they are na turaIly slow to learn. But this Is no nearly as important as is the ab qenca from school for one reason O another.
 Parents should realize that m matter what the reason nav he. whel {, child Is out of school during an part of the school year it is a yer rer'ons matter. Many people thin .hat the work can be made up. Bu .s matter of fact even when 'h ahsence covers only a few days whn hrs been missed can never be mad I'D in the true sense of. tho word an if the period is more than a few dav 1t can seldom be made up at all.

WEST INDIAN SURVEYS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. B.
 An increased appreciation of the value of scientific investigation ill planning the utilization of natural resources has led several of the West Indian republics to seek the assistance of the United States Geo logical Survey, Department of the Interior, and to make cooperative agreements with it, whereby topo grephic and geologic surveys of the islands are to be made at the ex pense of their governments and the technical supervision of the work is to be assumed by the Geological Survey. The officials of these repub lies welcome this method of assuring the same quality of mapping for their areas as is obtained in the United States, and this appreciation of the aid thus given should lead to a larger participation in the industrial and commercian development that ought to follow this inventory of mineral and land resources.
 AL Nne 61lu or the IlSCdI year general geologic reconnaissance had been made in the Dominican Repub lie, and arrangements had been com pleted for organizing the topographic surveys, field work to begin early in September. In the Republic of Haiti plans were perfected for similar work.
 In special message to the Cuban Congress the President of Cuba has urged an appropriation for the topo- graphic and geologic survey of the island The cooperative assistance of the Geologic Survey has been promised by the Secretary of the Interior to a representative of the Cuban Government as well as in official correspondence, and 1t is expected that this largest of. the West Indian projects will be begun this year.

OIL INCREASE SLIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-Oil pro duction in California in 1919 was estimated at 100,000,000 barrels by R. P. Mclaughlin, state oil and gas supervisor. This is a suight increase over the 1918 output.
 The total value of this crude oil at the wells was approximately $135, 0O0,000, Mclaughlin reported The field price of oil has advenced in just about the same degree as farm products, the supervisor said, adding that "the price of California oil may not be reasonably expected to decline until the general price level of all commodities falls"

tleboro. The audience was not large,
but it manifested its thorough enjoy
ment of the recital. aProf. Sleeper, who
il fellow of the American Guild of
Organsts, did not give a noisy program,
although there were frequent climaxes
with full organ, but in general the
numbers were of n quiet nature which
brought out clearly and distinctly the
beautiful tone effects and delightful
themes and melodies. The organist dis
played exceptional interpretive ability
as well as technical skill, and the whole
effect was very pleasing
suite in + minor by Prof Sleeper
was the opening number, embracing
three parts, prelude and hymn, cantabile
and fnAe. 1t was majestic all through,
with a beautiful melody in the middle
portion. Largo, from Dvorak s New
World Symphony. was a development of
melodies originally Negro, the Groom
ing and wailing being brought out in a
very interesting manner. Andantino
one of the best known compositions by
Chauvet, was the next selection, the
organist by an exquisite combination
of stops producing tones of marvellous
beauty This was followed by short
but pleasing capriccio movement by lie
maigre.
Prayer and Cradle Song by that
prince of organists and composers, Alex
andre Guilmant, fitted well into the pro.
gram. although by no means the best
of Guilmant : works. Revere in T
fiat, the best known composition of the
English organist, Lemare, except his
Andantino, besides being n beautiful
number was especially interesting be.
cause of the elusive rythm produced by
its 81 time. the use of which is com.
paratiyelv rare.
Following a brief intermission Prof
Sleeper rendered one of his favorite
numbers, the Andante Cantabile from
Tchaikowshv : 9Th symphony, one OF
the composer s two great symphonies
and then the organist improvised to dis
play the organ, pedal work being prom
inent. Mendelssohn s soul-stirrins
Priests March, one of the immorta
works of the old master, was played
! with mastery skill and was a fitting
climax to a delightful evening Prof
Sleeper was called back after this anC
