ed States is startling, declares the editor of Leslie's. One captain of industry found that his 400 employees had in their pockets an average of $28 each. Where workers run into thousands and tens of thousands, the sums thus withheld from circu- lation become so large as to seri- ously affect the financial situation. The advice of one of our leading financiers is therefore sound, that no one should ''tote around more dollars than he requires as life's daily working capital"

Jualin, and as soon as the franc gets on a basis where we can afford to work we will throw all the forces at our command on the property" he continued, land we look to see a great mine there some day"
 MT. Vanophem, who is president of the Algunican Development com pany and the Jualin Alaska Mines company, arrived in Juneau several weeks ago, after having been in France and Belgium since 1916. For several weeks he was at Stew art, B. C., where the company is interested in two claims, the North ern Light and the Spider. He is we'll satisfied with their investment in the Stewart country, but says that not enough work has yet been done to prove the properties.
 MT. Vonophem is accompanied on the trip by his wife, who is on her first trip to America.
 The companies that he represents are Belgian companies. They aban- doned the work of developing the Jualin mines in Berner's bay several months ago, on account of the high exchange rates on Belgian money, and concentrated all their efforts on silver-lead property in the Stew art district

LIEUT.-COL. GOTWALS.

Lieut.-Col. John C. Gotwals, as a civil engineer, entered the engineer corps of the United army through competitive examination in 1913. He entered with the rank of second lieutenant.
 Previous to entering the army he was a civil engineer at and near New York city, where he had been engaged since 1906 as an engineer on the Pennsylvania tunnel and the Cattskill aqueduct. On the latter he was resident engineer for three miles of the work.
 Col. Gotwals was raised to the rank of captain at the beginning of the war. He went to France in 1917 and saw very active service in the war areas with the British and French armies before the ar rival of the American army. He joined the American army after it's arrival over there. He left France in November, 1919, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel, and on arriv- ing in America was attached to the staff of General Robert E. Bullard at Governors Island, New York, as department engineer. He came di- rectly from that post to Alaska.

OUR 52 PERCENT SCHOOLS.

For the high priests of education, there is little joy in contemplating the table of ratings for the public school systems of the United States as made by the Russell Sage Foun- dation, says the New York World. The forty-eight states and territo- ries show, on points of school at- tendance, training, progress, etc, along with considerations of teach ers' salaries, building funds, sup plies and related items, an average of only 52 percent in efficiency. And it has taken fifty years to reach this figure from mark half as high.
 Montana, leading the foundations s list, shows itself but 75.s percent effective. California, coming next, is set at TIP percent. There fol- low eight states with percentages ranging down the eos. New York, with 59.4 percent, is thirteenth on the list, and the next eighteen num- bers, falling among the sos, are sufficient to sustain the given gen. eral average, despite the citing of Porto Rico and a nearly solid South, in percentages running down thru the sos.
 Politics, lack of state enterprise, and child labor are among the large factors affecting for the worse the standing of American schools. Con- corning the last of these, the Chil- dren's Bureau of the Department of Labor at Washington reports a "stay-in-school" campaign going on in twenty states, which is to be fol- lowed by a "back-to-school" drive. These movements will affect strongly the boy and girl workers on farms, who now make up three-quarters of the country's child labor. New York, if it cares to be an Empire State in education as we'll as in wealth, population and commerce, has long way to go in the strength ening and the support of it's schools. And there is evidence that much of the distance must be covered right in New York city.

THE CALLER OF OUR LAW .+ MAKERS.

There is such confirmed habit on the part of many newspapers and many good citizens to carp at senators and to belittle congressman that it is hard to secure open-mind- edness for a just estimate of the personal quality and the statesman ship of our national lawmaking body, writes Editor Shaw in the July num- Der of the American Review of Re- views. We know little about the rank and file of membership in leg islative bodies abroad, because un- der the British, French, Italian, and other representative systems, it is almost invariably true that small group holding ministerial rank comes to the front for personal approval or criticism, and the ordinary mem Der of legislative body does noth- ing except to give his vote along with those of the party group to which he belongs. Our committee system at Washington throws into prominence a much larger number of members of senate and house than are brought forward in the British house of commons, for ex- ample. There seems to be an inn pression that our representatives at the two ends of the Capitol building at Washington are men of smaller caliber than their predecessors twen- ty or forty or sixty years ago. Taking them on the average, how ever, the men now in public life will gain rather than lose in repute if subjected to strict comparison with those of earlier periods, in points both of intelligence and char acter.
