Juneau Wins General Meet;
 Next Years Also Held Here

Elated at the success of the first Southeastern Alaska Inter-School Meet which closed last night, repre- sentatives of the Juneau, Douglas, Ketchikan, Wrangell and Haines schools have voted to make it an annual affair and to hold the next one in Juneau during or about the first week in April. These repre- sentatives, in a meeting held last ization to foster closer relations be- tween Southeastern Alaska schools and named a committee to draft rules and regulations for future meets.
 At that meeting all those present were unanimous in agreement on the beneficial results to individual students and to schools from the Meet.
 Epochal to Schools.
 Commissioner of Education L. D. Henderson, commenting on the Meet said: "The School Meet which has just closed marks an epoch in the history of Alaska schools. It with out doubt will result in higher standards of school work along all lines, not only in Southeastern AL aska but also throughout the whole Territory The records made by the students, particularly in the literary and athletic events, were excellent but cannot be expected to stand. Next Years Meet should set a new standard of excellence. Governor Bones announcement that he ex- poets to present trophy at the next Meet which is to be competed for by every high school in the Territory competition with consequent broadening of the outlook of those who participate. The fact that the Legislature will be in session next April when the contestants arrive in Juneau for the second Meet will add much to the benefits with each school will derive in that pupils, teachers and others who accompany the various teams will have an op- portunity to see the Territorial Leg islature in action"
 Others Praise Results. .@ While we are naturally highly pleased with the showing made by the Juneau teams in the Meet said Supt. J. E. Lang, we feel that we will have to work harder in the fu- ;o +a ipt toi it, record in next years Meet. The benefits of the first Meet are so ob- vious as to need but little com ment'
 Supt. G. c. Mitchell, of the Doug las schools, also expressed himself enthusiastically over the success of the first Meet and the benefits ac- cruing to every school participating, and c. D. Gray, principal of the Haines school gave expression to like sentiments.
 Mrs. M. o. Johnson, Clerk of the Wrangell School Board, who left for her home on the Queen this morn ing, said: Tt is my opinion that the Meet will have far-reaching results. The pupil from the smaller town has little opportunity for competition. He and his fellow townsmen have a tendency to over-rate his ability and in this Meet he will have learned how he measures up with others and work accordingly in the future. Y"

JUNEAU WINS SCHOOL MEET;
 HAS 6s POINTS
Local School Presented with Grand Trophy - High
 School Wins Debate.

Winning the final debate from the Wrangell High School, the Juneau public schools were awarded the Grand Trophy of the Southeastern Alaska Inter-School Meet, at the High School auditorium last night. The Juneau High School, debating for the affirmati tive on the question Congress should prohibit immigration into the United States for a period of two years" won the decision of the three judges
 Debating Teams
 The debating team for the local school was: First speaker, Mar guerte Bone; second speaker, Legia Kashevaroff; alternate, Ralph Wag- gcner For the Wrangell High School, first speaker. Elton Eng strom; second speaker, Oliver John son; alternate, John Coulter.
 The debaters treated their sub- ject from the viewpoint of its eco nomical, political and patriotic reac- tions on the United States and it's people.
 Speakers Clever
 Miss Bone possesses a pleasing speaking voice and dignified com posture when speaking. She brought out each point of her argument clear ly and was clear thinking and clever in the rebuttal. Miss Kashevaroff speaks in a direct and forceful man. ner and carefully proved her argu- ment for the affirmative. She made several strong statements in the re. puttal, refutHng statements made by her opponents.
 : The two debaters of the Wrangell team made a very fine argument for she negative. In the preliminary de bate they argued for the affirmative and by drawing the negative for the final debate were compelled to pre- pare their arguments during the past few days. Because of the lack of preparation both boys were slightly self-conscious in opening their ad- dress. but after the first few state ments gained composure and spoke in sincere and convincing manner. They were especially commended for their ability in speaking without committing to memory.
 Rev. c. E. Rice introduced the speakers.
 Tho ridges for the debate were H. l.. Faulkner, P R. Bradley and A. G. Shoup.
