SCIENCE CLASS SEES
 THE WEATHER BUREAU

The General Science Class Visited the Weather Bureau last Tuesday morning. The class has been studying the weather and climate for some time and was much interested ih MT. Summers explanation of how tho weather records are made.
 Mr Summers showed how maxi imum and minimum temperatures are found without watching the ther' mometer, how the barometer works haw weather forecasts are made, how velocity and direction of the wind is found. and how the amount of sunshine and rainfall is measured.
 The class will make weather maps and from these and with other data forecast the weather and see how nearly right the forecasts are by comparing them with the Weather Bureau forecasts.
 The class will visit other places in connection with it's work this winter to let the pupils see practical applications of the principles they study.

SCHOOL CLASSES EACH SUBSCRIBE
 FOR RED CROSS
Grades and High School Have Oyersubscribed $l7 for
 Junior Red Cross.

The students of the Juneau High School deserve credit for having over-subscribed about seventeen dol lars, two days after the campaign opened, on last Tuesday, for the Junior Red Cross. Each grade from the First to the Senior gave 45 cents for a years subscription to the Junior Red Cross Magazine. Besides this, $17 was given.
 This seventeen dollars will be used to furnish first aid kits, one for the Manual Training Class and one for the boys gymnasium classes and one for the Domestic science classes and one for the girls gymnasium classes.
 Last year each individual in the school subscribed, but this year mem hers of class taking the Junior Red Cross Magazine are members of the Junior Red Cross. Separate contribu- lions are voluntary and not necessary for one to become member.
 The idea is that each pupil con stitute a service unit and the plan of organization this year is on a service basis rather than on a fin ancial one.
 The Junior Red Cross Magazine ic full of interesting Red Cross stories and news items, and will be used to supplement the work in Geography History and English.
 Further I R c activities are con templated during the year. The Man ual Training department will make toys in connection with this work.

Good English Week

Good English Week., will again visit the Juneau School after years absence. The ob- iect in setting aside such a week is to remind the students of the. many faults of their Ian gage the way it is often, used. The best. way of getting one rid of poor phrases, words and slang, is to remind him continu- ally until he drops them, and this is what is done during Good English Week" Every one watches his neighbor and few mistakes pass by unmo- tested. Juneau High School halls this advent, with pleasure, hay ing found. from last years ex- perience. that they make many grammatical errors which this is the best way to correct.

Juneau High Boys Out for the Douglas Teams Scalp and
 Girls Also Ready.

The Juneau High School basket ball team is on the warpath, and intends to get revenge on Douglas High this evening.
 The boys and Coach Phillips have their rivals sized up now, and are going to keep their score ahead of the Douglas teams at the game this evening. They knew almost nothing of the quality of the other men when they entered the game last Friday night.
 They lost the game, score 12 to 55. The team from across the Channel was made up almost entirely of last years veterans, three having played on the Douglas team before and one on the Juneau team. Only one man, Manley. had not played last year on either the Juneau or Douglas teams.
 Juneau, however, had one last years man, Fortney, on the lineup, the others having been subs.
 But the Juneau boys are deter mined and it is thought they will make good their defeat at the hands of Douglas last Friday night.

these roles have been her most inter
