Addresses of Educational
Topics Feature Of Ses-
sion Held Last Night

The Importance OF the smaller
college compared to the larger in
stitutJons of learning TO the student
was explained by Rev. G. c. Bruce in
an address before the Douglas Par
ent-Teacher body at last nights reg
ular meeting
In the smaller classes at the small
college, each student may be called
upon to recite more often and great
err individual attention can be CIV
en- him than is possible in the large
colleges with big classes, said Rev.
Bruce. Education, he said, is found
ed on the four. principles of Health,
Intelligence, Good Morals and Chris
tianity. Like the building which is
dependent on the foundation at each
of its four corners to keep it from
falling, so education is dependent
on the four principles.
J George e. Mann of Juneau gave
+. talk on the American Legion and
told of the interest the Legion has
in the education of the land. Dur
ing the enlistment period in this
country for the late World War, a
little over "a per cent of all the re
crfits were illiterate, he said, and it
was the hope of the Legion that
, this condition could be overcome by
1927.
Mrs. Gordon C. Mitchell gave a
very interesting reading and Misses
Rtca Niemi and Elsie Edmiston en-
tertained agreeably with musical
number. The high school orchestra
also added to the musical part oil
the program.
During the business part OF the
meeting Superintendent Mitchell
spoke on the recently formed Al
askaN, Educational Association, OF
which he is president and extended
an invitation to all who are inter
ested in educational work to become
members.

her assistant, Dorothy Goddard. Mrs.
Holman believes that sanitation is
the first essential for a ground work
for education.
Several good reports have been re
ceived recently OF discoveries near
Sitka which indicate that there may
be something doing in the mining
line by spring. Some day Sitka is
going to see big mining operations
right in its back and front yards.
Fred Johnson has built a cabin and
secured foxes for a fox farm near

New Type Of Power Shovel.

II has long been recognized that, to

vantages over machines using other
forms OF power. Many attempts have
been made, patterned mostly after the
steam shovel, to adapt gasoline power
to this type Of machine, but all OF
them have been open 70 criticism.
Now, however, n new type OF gasoline
power shovel, described In Popular
Mechanics has been placed on the
market which IS a radical depart are
from the accepted designs, In rhls
machine, which has successfully
passed It's preliminary trials, all pow

The dipper can be put through any
motions possible with the steam shov-
ell, even TO the shaking of the dipper
to free It Of sticky material. The
boom may be raised or lowered In the
usual manner, while the swing is con-
trolled by a separate clutch. The
