BOYS PREP AIRING FOR TRACK MEET
 ON THE ISLAND
Interest Being Shown in Event Athletic Association
 Has New Manager.

Announcement of the indoor track torium on April 1, in which all schools, organizations and individu- als are invited to participate, has caused considerable interest in the local school and the members of the Boys Athletic Association expect to play @ prominent part in the meet. number of the boys are actively training at this time.
 Coach A. B. Phillips has announced that he does not want more than three boys to enter any one event in the meet. He also stated that any boy could enter the Senior events, but if those entering won first, second or third place, they would not be awarded letter" as these are awarded for the High School events only. Letters will be awarded to the students of the Ju- neau High School winning first second or third place in any of the High School events.

KEEP UP SCHOOLS

The schools in the incorporated towns of Alaska receive 75 per cent of their support, up to $15,000, from the treasury of the Territory. Tc this may be added $1,500 if schoo
 maintains Normal High School The balance of the money needed tc maintain a school in an incorporated town must be furnished from the treasury of the city. In many cases this places too great burden on the local treasury with the result that often the school system must suffer, due to financial needs.
 As students in Alaska. we feel that we will have to take our part with students educated in schools in the States where greater facilities are offered, and that if we are to take our places alongside students edu- cated in better equipped school sys- tens, we should have more and better opportunities to so equip our selves. We realize, of course, that the text books used and the teachers in the Juneau Schools are the best that any school could desire. On the other hand, we are short of materials and equipment in other de partments so that the work of eX- cellent text books and highly eff cient teachers cannot be supple mented. We realize, too. that at the present time the expenses of the schools of the Territory consume more than one half of the Territorial revenues. More than this, we realize the difficulty of the Territory in securing sufficient revenues to meet the ever-increasing demands upon it's coffers. Economy should and must be insisted upon but, in the minds of the students of the Juneau High School, education should al ways stand first when appropria- tions are up for discussion. If de- creases in appropriations seem nee essary, the budget for education and schools should be the last to be ',cut." Free education is the right of all citizens so that they may be come good and useful citizens"

ENGLISH SCHOOL
 BOYS WRITE TO
 LOCAL STUDENTS
Windsor School Boys Answer Letters Written from Ju-
 neau Over Year Ago.

The boys of the Junior Higl School were fortunate enough to re ceive a package of letters iron England, which was quite diver sion, for one does not get letter, from England every day. Judging from the letters, the English boys, ir turn, apparently think it Is a nov city to be writing to unknown boy: in distant Alaska.
 The Juneau boys had written first during the Christmas vacation oI 1919, and it had taken an entire year for their letters to cross the Atlantic, for they reached their des tinations during December of tht following year.
 The letters are written neatly and clearly, some being printed. The, came from tie Victoria St. Boys School Windsor, Berkshire, England Most of the boys were thirteen and fourteen years of age. They contain ed much interesting informatfoH about the town of Windsor, which is situated on the River Thames twenty two miles from London. The college town of Eton is directly across, on the opposite shore of the Thames. Windsor is considered more of an inland pleasure resort than an industrial town. It is also of great historical interest, for there is located the famous castle iG which the King has special apart mentS, and also the Great Park and Forest.
 Their school house is about 3I" hundred years old, very ancient when compared with ours. IL is built of red brick with yellow para pets. There, the different classes are called standards instead of grades. It is a small school with about one hundred and seventy boys attending. They are exceed ingly fond of outdoor sports, foot ball being the most popular during the winter, and cricket, tennis and swimming during the summer. Most of them have never heard of basket ball and wish to know what the game is like And baseball is not so much favored over there as in America.
 Across the street from the school house are the barracks where tT , regiments of the End Scots Guards and the 1st Life Guards are sta tioned.
 Accompanying the letters were Dojt cards of picturesque scenes of var ious places of interest, centuries old. Some of the views are Of St. Georges Chapel. the Castle, the Great Park, Eton College with tte gently y-flowing Thames, which is two hundred and fifteen miles long.
 The English boys seem to be as wide-awake and alert as any Ameri- can boy They are very much in terested and eager to learn more about American customs and games. One boy even desires to know what form of punishment we receive for our misdemeanors in school, "the cane, or writing out lines?" Another boy wished to know what 'block' was and how large it was.
 MT. Charles Pasco, the Head Mas ter of the school, wrote that he hoped this correspondence would help to weld the people of the Anglo Saxon tongue into a stronger bond of friendship.

At a recent meeting of the Junior Class, Kathleen Ward resigned her office as President of the Class of '22. Kathleen is to graduate with the Class of '21, doing practically double work this year. She has enough credits to be classified a Senior.
 The Juniors are very sorry to lose her and she has been one of the best liked members of her class as well as a very efficient class presi- dent. Jim McNaughton was. elected to fill the vacancy. Plans were laid for the program that the Juniors are planning for next Friday, March 18th.
