*The first and second grades had
large total enrollments during l9lN-
10 but severely more than one hall
the number stayed through the year,
t2S in the first grade and "a in the
second grade), which indicates our
present first and second grades to
be about so per cent larger than
durin el9lS-19. We now have A.
pupils in grade one and Al pupils IL
grade two; showing practically no
loss since the beginning of school.
The balance of the grades in 1918
10 had about the same ratio of daily
attendance to total enrolment as
have the grades during 1867.
The grade rooms now in use are
21h'x32 in size, with cloak rooms
extra. This allows for seating
capacity, without crowding. in the
first and second grades for 35 pu-
pills: in the third, fourth, fifth and
sixth grades for 40 pupils in the
seventh and eighth grades for -
pupils. More pupils may be accomo-
dated in the intermediate grades
than in the primary grades because
extra space is required in the pri-
mary grades for group work as in
reading. Less pupils can be accomO
dated in the upper grades because
the rooms are not large enough TO
:ccomodate the same number of the
larger size desks necessary for the
larger pupils. The present audito-
rum can seat one hundred ten stu.
dents without crowding.
1t is physically impossible to ac-
comodate all pupils in the large!
grades in one room. This makes ii
impossible for one teacher to handle
all pupils in one grade, if there are
more than the maximum room capa
city of students enrolled.
Even were the rooms sufficiently
large to handle more students IN
each room, it is undesirable to over
load any teacher. For primary grades
teacher should readily handle thir.
ty pupils while thirty-five students
are considered the maximum with
whom maximum results may be OBJ.

FISH TRAPS ARE
ESSENT|AL,SAYS
AuC.BuSCHMANN
Pioneer Canneryman and
Fisherman Gives House
Members Striking Figures

The salmon canning industry Of
Southeastern Alaska couldn't operate
without traps, il could not get enough
fish to keep its plants turning, and
even if it could, it couldn't sell the
fish ii packed This. in so many
words, is the conviction of August
Buschmann. President o' the Deep
Sea Salmon CO.. and part owner in
a cannery at Silka and another at
Todd's, on Beril Strait
Mr.. Buschmann spoke with the
weight of experience gained in the
canning and fishing industry since
1893. 81 years He is generally re-
garded as one OF the most efficient
and successful operators in the Ter
ritory. He is likewise one of the
most popular of the cannerymen, ana
for years has followed a policy Of
employing all local labor that is pos
sible, buying locally of supplies and
materials.
On Stand Long Time
He appeared yesterday before a
Joint meeting of the Ways ann
Means and Fisheries committees of
the House. and was on the stand
for more than two hours, discussing
the effects on the salmon packing
industry of the proposals contained
in measures pending before the
House for imposing high rates OF
license taxes on nonresident fisher
men and high surtaxes on trap
caught salmon. These proposals are
prohibitive. Enacted into law. the
salmon canning industry would b.
wiped out" he told the committee
men frankly He reiterated this
statement several times in answe'
TO questions propounded to him and
cited figures relative to operating
results since 1920 to substantial,
his contention.
Average Prof. Low
Some startling figures wore quoted
by Mr.. Buschmann to show thai
the industry was not in highly
prosperous condition as has beer
depicted in some quarters. He re
viewed the returns for the six years
past beginning with 1921 and de
clarad the average profit during
that time had been about one and
nine-tenths per cent on the invest
ment. The first two years of the
period. he said had resulted in an
,operating loss for the industry. A
small profit was shown in 1923. In
ll924, the average profit was as pei
cent and in the year following II
dropped to 222 per cent. Last yea,
lit Jumped to G.55 per cent and car
ried the average for the six.yea,
period to almost two per cent. And
F.; he pointed out. these profits were
calculated under the Territorial Law

NOrUDay's Special Minister Leaving;
Probable Successor to BTyn Discussed
Disappointment Felt at
Departure of Gades;
Sailing Soon for Brazil
By JEAN ELIOT

Ninth the departure of =. Her.
w man Gade. Norwegian Minister
to BAIL, who has been on special
mission in Washington. the ques.
ton of a successor TO H. III. Bryn
as minister of Norway to the
United tSates comes up again for
discussion.
For, when Mr.. Gade came to
town to try to straighten out a dis
pute which had arisen over a claim
of the Norwegian government
against the Shipping Board, he said
very frankly that, should his mis-
sion be successful, he hoped to be
transferred to Washington as min.
lister. He had long looked forward
to browning thus his diplomatic
career, as he has the strongest of
ties of affection with the United
states. American educated, he was
ut one time an American citizen
and, If remember correctly, was
affiliated for a while with our diplo-
matte service, being repatriated in
Norway before he could enter the
foreign service of his native coun-
try.
Mission Unsuccessful
But in spite of all this, the State
Department rejected Norway's claim
and Mr.. Gade's mission cannot be
said to have been successful. Con-
sequently it is not likely that he
will return, once he has sailed for
his former post at Rio.
That's a disappointment to us here,
Tor, since we had to lose the Bryns,
who would have been rejoiced to
keep the Gades. Even before they
came to Washington last winter they
had friends here and during their
several months of residence in the
Capital they increased the number
materially. The minister is a dear,
q keen sportsman, a clever racon-
feur and gifted with what has been
called "a winsome approach" Nine.
Gade, too, is charming, and they
have a daughter, Miss Alice Gade,
who did her bit to popularize the
family among the younger set. The
Gades are in New York for a few
days, but will sail soon for Rio.
Mr.. Bryn's Plans
It will be remembered that Mr..
Bryn was recalled after nearly
score of years service in Washing
ton, because he was held to have be-
come too Americanized in his out
look, for his own country's good.
Since he went home he has been in
Oslo, but it is expected that he will
shortly be assigned to a new post,
probably in one of the Scandinavian
countries, in the course of a diplo-
matte shift which the Norwegian
government is contemplating. Or it
may be that he will be given a birth
in the foreign office. When that is
decided, it is probable that Nine.
Bryn and the members of their fam.
lily, who have been lingering in
Washington, will go to Norway to
Join him.
