 To meet this vital situation, the following suggestions were made: FIRST-That a Divisional High School be established in Nome to serve the urgent needs of the en- tire Seward Peninsula; and where, in addition to the regular High School course as now carried out, an entire course in industrial train ing be also established. In order to make this advancement in the present high school it would be necessary to have one or more additional teachers so that the staff, thus augmented, would be prepared to take care of all the students that would come here
 from the outlying sections.

 students who will doubtless come
 to the Nome Divisional High
 School. may be properly housed and taken care of under the super vision of the School Board and with the usual restrictions and charges generally obtaining in similar institutions of learning elsewhere, that suitable dormi- tory be built where these students can be safely and comfortably housed. To enable Alaska to fol- low the high example set by the States with vocational training given almost everywhere. so that
 the boys and girls of this division be afforded opportunity to ad- vance along the lines suggested, it was pointed out that the only way this desirab b1e end can be accom- plished, would be by enlarging the sphere of the Nome High School The present limited and discon- nected educa ational system has been i a potent factor in loss of popula- | ton during past years.

At recent meeting Of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce, held at the offices of the Nome Mines Inc, d very com
 prehensive program for the better ment of conditions generally in Nome and the outlying districts, was thoroly discussed, and, i'm mediate steps were taken to se cure the necessary Territorial backing and aid so that action can be taken at the carries, possible moment to put the different schemes outlined into effect.
 A petition was drawn up ad- ressed to the Ninth Alaska Legis- lature requesting and strongly uTg- that body to take such action 6 may be necessary to establish an institution of higher and vocation al education in the Second Division and to make such appropriation of Territorial funds as may be necessary and sufficient for this purpose. Briefly the petition pointed out the fact that altho Nome has a nigh school well staff ed and equipped and where a high standard of education was main tained, it but serves the needs Of the boys and girls of this town only. and that outside of Nome in the outlying districts there are 8 great many students who keenly desire and are in real need ot higher education but are denied this privilege. Many of these students are children of mixed blood, who are, no doubt, destined to form @ very important part of Alaska's population: and should he given every encouragement to fit themselves to make better living. In times gone by some Of them were given the privilege oi education at ChemaWa Indian School; but due mainly to the fact that the change of climate had 6 bad effect on students from the North, this school has now been c!~sed to Alaska children after

 We recommend that the road from the beach to the Lost River Tin Mines be rehabiliated by con- st-ucting q bridge, approximately 15o feet across Lost River, and two side cuts to enable the road rough places. We advise that this road get the very earliest attention after the breakup as the crushing mill and other mining machinery, lumber and other essentials neces- sary for the construction of a we'll developed plant Will arrive on the first boat and will have to be transported over this road this coming summer. Mir. Macintosh the General Superintendent advices Us that he will furnish free camps and also free transportation to the road crew during the construction work on this road.
 We further recommend your ac- tivity in putting the Monochrome road in such good condition; also your action in extending this road farther into the Interior, as we know from personal knowledge that it not only benefits the Os- borne Dredging Company. which this past summer built a dredge On Osborne Creek.bu also we will recommend. however, that instead of running the road from the mouth of Osborne Creek to St. Michael Creek, to join your road that was built this summer from St. Michael Creek to No. 13 Os- borne, that the proposed road leave the Nome-Fort Davis. road some where around Cunningham Creek and run directly north across coun- try to St. Michael Creek.

ment just as much as merely skillful
politician would be out Of place in the
direction of vast business enterprise.
The Earl of Rosebery, in his biography
of Disraeli, describes Lord Beaconsfield
as "a master Of the tedious art Of man
aging men," The reference is to
"Dizzy's" finesse In politics. Working
politicians-the men and women upon
whom an American national chairman
must depend for his organization and
for It's frictionless Northumberland
be manipulated and ordered as the
manufacturing or sales staff Of big
automobile company can be. There
was no complaint. as far as the public
is aware. that Chairman Raskob es-
sayed the tactics of commercial mar
tinet in 1928. But out of ITS Broad
way there issued ever and anon the
plant that he never succeeded in get
ting" Democratic politicians right"
Their ways we're not the ways, and
could not be the ways, of the finance
chairman Of General Motors.
The lesson of what is apparently to
be John j. Raskobs one and only man
agerial excursion into national politics
would seem to be that politics is for
politicians, and business for business
men. The roster of laurel-crowned ma
tional chairmen of our immediate day
and generation includes such names as
Frank H. Hitchcock, William F. Nc
Combs. Vance C. Mccormick, Will H.
Hays and Hubert Work. The roster of
chairman who labored and lost is
adorned by such names as William r.

The Technical Bureau Heads.

Indication has been given of pur-
pose on the part of President Hoover to
continue in service and rank those Of
f1cers of the military and naval estab-
lishments who, assigned to the positions
of chiefs of bureaus and special branches,
have proved their efficiency and admin
istrative capacity. Already several such
reappointments have been made upon
the expiration of tours of duty and
terms Of office. The policy, carried out
fully, will make for better service than
that of changing bureau chiefs simply
because of the lapse of time.
This is especially true in the case of
officers of the technical branches Of the
military and naval services. 1t is plain
that such assignments call for particu-
lar talents, and to denote incumbents
merely on the score Of the passing of
the years of formal detail is to waste
those talents. Furthermore, the replace
ment of bureau chiefs, solely on the
score of time, tends to cause serious
loss, as officers, thus set back after terms
Of faithful and efficient duty as bureau
heads, prefer retirement, ahead of the
compulsory date, to service as subordi-
mates under officers who were subordi-
nate to them during their incumbency.
Changes In bureau heads of the mill
tary and naval establishments merely
for the sake of rotation do not con-
form to the best principles of admins
tration. Such policy does not, and
should not, obtain in the civil depart
ments Of the Government. The highest
positions, and the immediate subordi-
mates of the departmental services, are
alone to be regarded as subject to
change with change of administration
Even In those instances there are ex-
ceptions, as in this present change. In
the technical services especially is 1t
desirable that there should be a mini
mum of shifting, and the present policy
of the administration is to be commend
ed and supported as making for the
highest efficiency of Government serv-
ice.
