Approval Of general policies uf the
executive board OF the Lower Rio
Grande Valley Roy Scout Council.
and of plans and system az Camp
Perry was voiced BY James II. Fitch.
regional scout executive. At a meet
ing Of the Board at the Cortcz Hotel
in NesIaco.
This is Mr.. Fitch's first visit 70
the Valley since the Scout Council
was organized early in 1927. and Ne
expressed satisfaction mt the work
that had been accomplished by the
Council during the last two years.
After handling Of routine business.
Mr.. Fitch lead 4 general discussion
BY the board Of plans for future
leadership, program and financing or
Council.
THE consciousness or citizenship
responsibilities and character among
boys il built only through their con-
sact with the men Of the community.
whose lives they read in the citizen
ship and character or those men,"
said Mr.. Fitch.
Responsibilities or the Council
are two-fold, first il must maintain
Scouting on such a basis that BOYS
will want TO become members. and
create and maintain conditions
whereby the big men Of the commun-
ity will be challenged TO give lead
ership to the boys Of the community.
The poorest excuse that men offer
for failing to do their duty is tina

thew haven't time. Men always find
time to do the things in which they
are interested. Witness the crowd
ed condition Of our golf links.
Modern conditions are such that
communities can no longer be inter
ested only in their own problems. but
must take ccgaizance OF the prob
lem OF their neighbo-s. The bos
problem Of Brownsville for instance
can be transported TO Mission in
two hours time. Therefore Mission
IS interested in the sort Of leader.

difficult camp site az far as situz-
ticn n concerned. and that the build

A JUNIOR POLYTECHNIC
By H. P. Corser

High schools and colleges have more pupils than ever before in the history of our country and the re- suits have not, judging from all re- ports, been altogether satisfactory. No one, more than those who have been through college, appreciates the fact that to large number the four years of collegiate work has been a hindrance rather than help to their future success. They have acquired habits of thinking and of life which has made all labor irksome whether it is done with the head or with the hand.
 The country has seen this and is making changes in school and col lege courses. But have the changes been made along the right lines? Has there not too much attention been paid to President Elliot's idealism who imagined that every one would turn out all right if he had a chance to live his own life and to develop himself according to his special tastes. Has it worked?
 What is Alaska going to do about it? In the very olden times, those who did not want a scholastic course were bound out to learn a trade. This of course would not be tolerated in this age. Nevertheless, it turned out some very fine mechanics. What is the substitute? The answer is naturally the trade school. Will each town be able to provide satisfac- tory substitute as an adjunct to their high school?S Most of the occupa- tions of Alaska are seasonal. There is the matter of handling fish. Most of the expert workers in our canner- ies are brought here from the states. One reason of this is that there are so few that are prepared to do the expert work. A satisfactory indus trial school would prepare men for this.
 Then there is the matter of the care of the forests and the handling of trees and logs to the best adyan- tage. Then there should be elemen-

tary courses in mineralogy so that a youth when he finds something of value will be able to recognize it, Then of course there should be taught the clements of navigation, boat building and the like. It would be impossible for any town in Alaska to provide all this, but the whole territory could. The North and the West have the college to resort to, but South East Alaska on account of the expense of going to the North is practically shut out of all benefits of the Alaska college. Such a school for Alaska would not be expensive to maintain. The length of a term should not be much longer than six months. This will enable the stu dent to study during the winter and work during the summer. The fac ulty could be made up largely of men who are employed with the different bureaus and canneries. The fact that it is winter work would enable the territory to secure able men at comparatively low figures.
 The months idea would make it possible for young men to work their way through the school and so it would be useful to those of very mod crate means as well as for those who are from families that are we'll to do. There would be no excuse then, for any boy not preparing himself for some good place.
 When the student is working dur ing the summer his work should be watched the same as if he were at school. The superintendent could look after that. He with possibly one other would be the only one that would be employed the year around. The effect of this on industry would be helpful. The complaint is that Alaska industries and the people of Alaska have so little in common that they are continually fighting each other. With such school to provide the help that Alaska industries needs the industries of Alaska and the peo- pei would come in closer contact and learn to know each other better. The moral effect of this would be the very best. Many go wrong because they have had no chance. A school of this kind would give everyone a chance
