DIET OBJECT LESSON WITH RATS AROUSES
 GLASS SYMPAThi l

To demonstrate the need for cer- tain foods in the diet, the children of a grade school room secured two young white rats which had just been weaned and were of practically the same size, and agreed to feed one on bread and milk and the other on bread and water. A big chart similar to that kept by each child to show his own gains and losses, was made for each rat and all week the children gathered around the two cages to watch for develop ments.
 Even before the weighing day ar rived, it was apparent which one was gaining in growth and health. Sure enough, the scales recorded a considerable gain for the rat living on bread and milk and no percep- tible gain for the enc which had been eating only bread and water. After a second week of the experi- ment, the children voiced thelr sym pathy and concern in no uncertain terms:
 "Give the water rat some milk, they pleaded. We give in. Go on, give him some milk, he needs it!"
 But wouldn't something else dc | just as well?" asked their teacher Some of you children like candy better than milk. Why not bread and candy?" Naturally more than one child applied these remarks to himself.
 | Of course, the little animal pres ently had milk added to his food and to the great joy of the children be- gan to gain immedinately.

FOUR ALASKA TOWNS ARE PLANNING ON NEW
 SCHOOL BUILDINGS

According to the Alaska School Bulletin for December, four Alaska towns are planning for the erection of new school buildings in the near future. They are: Cordova, Haines, Ketchikan, and Sitka. The first unit of the new Petersburg school building will be ready for occupancy January l. The second unit, which includes a gym 40 by 50 feet, will not be erected this year. When completed, the Petersburg school building will be "second to none in Alaska, and the equal of any build ing in the entire nation for a town the size of Petersburg and with its school enrolment" states the Bull letin.

 ON 4,50O ALASKA EAGLES

Announcement from the office of the Territorial Treasurer is that the Territory has paid the bounty on 4,500 eagles killed within her con- fines in the past year and that since bounty to one dollar, there is a noted increase in the number of eagle claws being presented and on which the bousty is paid. One res ident of the Rocky Pass neighbor- hood, about 100 miles south of Ju- |neau, is the banner eagle extermi- nator, he having collected bounty on 400 pair of claws during the year.

WHAT A NEW SCHOOL
 BUILDING WOULD COST

The Warrack Construction Com pany of Seattle, was recently asked by citizens of Cordova to submit an estimate of the cost of a new school building for Cordova, which it did, based on the requirements of other cities of approximately 2000 popula- tion. The estimate is as follows:
 l. A carefully designed school building with eight standard class rooms, principals office, four high school rooms, teachers room tand possibly a kindergarten room) with a gymnasium and. assembly hall built in connection, can be built for s96,0OO.
 ?. The same building, leaving of the gymnasium and assembly hall, can be built for s72,0O0, but if provision is made for adding the gymnasium and assembly hall, the sum of s5,00O should be added.
 3. A building with six standard Glass lOoLAop wv AASa SSASSt rooms, one recitation room, kin dergarten, assembly hall and gym nasium, a principals office, and teachers room, will cost sS5,0O0.
 4. The same as No. 3 without the assembly hall will be approxi- mately s70,000.
 In working out the design, some space may be found for additional rooms; for instance, the basement will have boys toilet and girls toilet, and boiler room in all of the above propositions, and if a gymnasium is built the locker rooms and showers necessarily take up space, but many times we have found that a manual training room can be provided without adding ma terially to the cost.
 We have not received any sug- gestions from you as to your re- quirements, but we believe that the following might fill the present needs
 Kindergarten.
 First grade room.
 Second grade room.
 Third grade room.
 Fourth grade room.
 Fifth and sixth grade room.
 Seventh and eighth grade room.
 High School room for physics and chemistry.
 High School room for commer- cial
 Recitation room for High School.
 Gymnasium with locker rooms and showers.
 Assembly hall, or auditorium, with stage and balcony.
 Principals room and toilet room.
 Teachers room and toilet room.
 Manual training room.
 We believe that all this can be included in a building of pleasing architecture; a building built to withstand the winds and rains of the locality; structure containing all of the most mechanical equip ment, and designed according to the latest data on school construc- tion, for the sum of from $S5,000 to SS,000, exclusive of desks, fur niture, school equipment and gym nasium apparatus.

Sitka Intends Raising Score
 (Sitka Tribune)

Juneau, notwithstanding her ad- vantage in being the capital city, her fine school buildings and other assets, was below Sitka in the recent Americanization campaign.
 Sitka is not greatly concerned about any other city's rating, but makes the challenge that if simi- lar campaign is staged in a couple of years, it will give Douglas and Fairbanks a hard run for first place. By that time the new school building will be completed and steady improvement along other lines will earn Sitka a high place next time she is measured in an Americanization test.
