H|CH SCHOOL STUDENTS TREATED TO TINE TALK
 LIEUTENANT E|ELsON

On Tuesday afternoon the students of the Seward High School Were priv ileged to hear an interesting talk on aviation, privilege few other schools have had, by Carl E. Eeileson, Lieut.. U. s. A aerenautical section, but who is more familiarly known as Alas ka's air Ace" and pioneer aviator of the Northland. Lieutenant Eileson ad- dressed the students to some length on not only aviation in the Territory but also on exploration work in the Arctic
 He said that since Colonel Lind- bergh's achievment the eyes of the world have been focused on aviation. For this reason, he stated, high school education is very necessary to aviation, being that fundamentals for meterology and other aids help the student, who later intends to at tend an aviation school.
 Experiences that Captain Wilkins and he had encountered in previous expeditions were narrated before the interested students; the purpose and need of sthese expeditions was for two reasons, mainly, from a geograph- ical standpoint-to find out if land is to be found in the unexplored areas and secondly, to aid metearology- from the weather standpoint.
 In ending he described latest scien- tific instruments that are being used in this work.
