DISCIPLINE RESTS ON CONSTITUTED
AUTHORITIES

The action of the ent-Teacher Association in
discontinung the "consula alton hour in its school
program undoubtedly wise This is said without
intent critcise the sponsors that branch the
Associations activities who undoubtedly guided
in their action by what they believed be for the
best interests of the school and its teachers and
pupils.
However, unofficial organization, which the
Association is and is intended to be, enter into
the running of school any institution in which
discipline is necessary part. For it to attempt to
do is invite inlracton of rules and regulations
upset discipline and to make its maintenance by
the duly constituted authorities exceedingly difficult
if impossible. The mant enance of school disci
pline rests the superintendent and his staff of
teachers theirs is the sole responsibility. If they
fail they answerable the school board which
is the body elected by the community to look after
its interests in school matters. If the school board
does fulfill its duty it answerable to the whole
electorate. The Parent-7eacher Association is an
advisory body and has important part to play
in cooperating with the school authorities in better
school conditions. 1t is a medium for bring
ing parents together and getting them in closer
touch with the teachers and the schools than would
be otherwise possible. 1t should not and cannot in
duge activities that would lessen school efficiency.
The Association well advised when it unani-
mously voted abandon consultation hour"

one million men we're continuously out of
work las a result Of strikes during the sum-
mer are major factors which have eff
fectively blocked initiation at this time. Bust
ness is being booked for requirements of the
immediate future and forward buying is
cautious. Good business is assured but it is
not reasonable to expect boom.
Conditions abroad and the state of the
exchanges not such as to encourage
any idea that there is to be any large in
crease in European business in the near
future Exports from the United States to
countries where general business shows i'm
provement such as Australia the leading
South American countries, Central America
and the West Indies will probably increase
somewhat but these countries are primarily
dependent en- conditions in the interna
tional market for materials, chiefly
agricultural, and their inhabitants are there
fore in position differing in no important
way from that of the American farmer.
They will PROFESSIONALLY buy more freely
than they bought last year but not
travaganty
1t may well be that prices in some lines
may continue to end upward as price and
wage readjustment proceed but any rapid
general upward tendency in the prices of
goods ready for the ultimate consumer
would be checked by unwilingness and in
ability on the part of purchasers through
cut the world to follow up the market
Manufacturers and merchants will still find
it essential to pursue a policy of careful
and economical operation, for the best pros
poets of profits lies not in rapidly rising
prices but in operating efficiency and grad
ually expanding volume of business.

ALASKA SHOULD HAVE SHARE.

With the recent announcement by officials of the
Bureau of Fisheries that the value of the fur seal
harvest this year $500 000 the query naturally
comes to mind-when will Alaska be given share
of proceeds from this industry? For number Of
years the Federal treasury has been enriched by
money from PribilOf Island seal herds. But
suggestion that the Territory be allotted part of the
profits has been received in silence.
1t is true that Delegate Sutherland introduced a
bill in Congress last turning all of the
net proceeds Alaska but it evidently died without
issue. Congress has adjourned and nearer
the goal than before introduced. With the
prC-ent Administration ayOwedy friendly so
desrous of opening up the Territory with the need
fer funds pressing for the construction of roads
and trails and other necessities there is apparent
why earnest effort should be successful
AT this distance from the National Capitol it seems
if a reasonable bill for equitable division of
the seal revenues, presented before committees and
the floors of the two houses of Congress by log
cal argument supporting the request could be enacted
into law.

One of the biggest liars in the
world is the bird who declares he
doesn't care what people say about
him.
Confession may be good for the
soul, but many man has lost his
happy home by telling his wife too
much.
The ladies are organizing "No
Longer Skirts" clubs, which means
us men had better keep our eyes on
our pants or we may find the ladies
grabbing them if they are not going
to wear skirts any longer.
This cave man stuff sounds inter
esting, but since the ladies have
learned to handle a six-shooter so
proficiently a man will think twice
before he tries it out.
Before marriage a girl likes him
TO write sonnets to her. but after
ward the only thing she wants him
to write for her are checks.
A man wants a cure for everything
but thirst, and all he asks for that
is little relief-relief being spelled
booze.
When a girl gets the idea she is
cut out for a movie queen she be-
comes excess baggage so far as be
ing any good iaround home is con-
cerned.
And the bride knows the honey
moon is over when the groom begins
to enjoy his meals more than he
does kissing her.
The trouble with lot of people
who think they are high toned is
they haven't the voices to reach the
high notes.
And we guess there are lot of
girls who would ike to see some way
OF fixing up their skinny calves in
stead OF their compilations.
Some men like a new wife almost
as often as they do a new car, but
the difference is they can't trade the
old wife in on the new one
The reason some men have such
hard time expressing their thoughts
is because their thoughts are so few
and far between.
