HISTORY OF NATION |S IN PREPAREDNESS
 SAYS CHIEF, STAFF
MAJOR GENERAL CHARLES p. SUMMERALL ADDRESSES NAT
 LOYAL ENCAMPMENT

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sept. 21. (P)- The theory that preparedness for war prevents war has been evidenced in United States history, which shows that, the only time this country was prepared for war in it's 150 years of existance, it prevented the firing of a single shot "by gesture alone, backed by force" the Chief of Staff of the Army, Major General Charles P. Sum- merall, declared in an address before the 18th annual national encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, at Providence, R. l.
 This instance, the Army Chief of Staff said, was during the Civil War, when France, realizing that we had our hands full at home and expected no embarrassment on account of the Monroe Doctrine, placed Maximilian on throne in Mexico and backed him by her armies"
 After diplomatic exchanges be- tween the United States and France, he added, the demand was made that the French armies be withdrawn from Mexico, and to emphasize this demand General Sheridan was sent into Texas with 5O,000 veteran troops. The En- peroor of France, he added understood and withdrew his armies.

TERRITORIAL SCHOOL HEAD PRESENTS FACTS
 0|V GROWTH ALASKA
STATISTICS ARE COMPILED, TEN YEARS AGO WITH PRESENT
 DAY, SCHOOLS

The principal speaker at yester- days meeting of the Chamber of Com merce, was Lester D. Henderson, Com missioner of Education, Territorial schools of Alaska And MT. Hender- son presented conclusive evidence, in the nature of figures, which smashes to "smithereens" the statement re- gently made by a United States Sena- tor, that the schools of Alaska had de creased enormously in the last ten and 20 years.
 Checking back to a period of ten years ago and comparing the figures of that date with those of today, he uncovered the following Illuminating data;
 1 Last years's school service ended with a growth of 27 per cent in num- Der of schools. There were but GA schools 10 years ago. Today there are Isl.
 1 Ten years ago the high school en- ment of 3,341; today this number has been increased to 4,673, an increase of 40 per cent.
 Ten years ago the elementary en- rollment was 3,O30 as against 4,013 of today, an increase of 32 per cent.
 Ten years ago hte high school en- rollment was 311; today it is 669, an increase of 115 per cent.
 Ten years ago there were 145 teach CTS employed; now there are 216, which is an increase of 49 per cent.
 How do these figures sound?
 Ten years ago there were 29 high school graduates; last year there were 96, an increase of 231- per cent.
 Ten years ago graduates from the elementary grades totaled 112; last year there were 23S graduates, an in- crease of 113 per cent.
 Ten years ago there were but six high schools in Alaska Today there are 13 or an increase of 117 per cent. Ten years ago there were three ac- credited high schools. In this present day and age there are eight; an in crease of 167 per cent.
 Ten years ago the average salary l of a superintendent or principal was $1 ,664. Today they are receiving an average salary of $2,256, an increase of 59 per cent.
 Ten years ago high school teachers were paid an average salary of $1 1,226; today they are receiving $1,69O, an in crease of 38 per cent.
 Ten years ago elementary teachers, in incorporated towns, were receiving an average salary of $1,144; they are getting s1,53S now, an increase of 34 per cent Outside of incorporated towns they are enjoying an increase of 39 per cent.
 Ten years ago the per capita cost of education was $1O6. Today 1t IS $135, due largely to increased salar- ies This is an increase of 27 per cent. Ten years ago there was spent the sum of over s272,00O for the operation of Territorial schools; Last year over $509,000 was appropriated for this purpose, an increase of 82 per cent. These figures not only indicate the growth of Alaska, from a school stand point, but is certainly barometer with which one can guage not only development of the Territory, but the increased permanancy of it's residents. 1 Not so bad when one gets the facts, what
 MT. Henderson added much other general information which for lack of space in today's issue will appear tomorrow.
