our excellent school system and the

1t Is interesting to observe that where
innovations were made in the courses
of study, before legal authorization
therefor was mdae by appropriations,
the merit Of these newer courses had to
donated for the purpose. This was the
case when manual training was intro
duced and classes opened in carpentry,

Washington ranks high among special
activities. The course set up to instill
American principles in aliens desiring
to qualify for naturalization was origi-
nally finnaced entirely, as it still Is in

and by other influential civic groups

Laws on IntOxicants Discussed.
One of the laws recently receiving
attention Is the act Of Congress APP
proved May 20. 1885, Ito provide for
the study of the nature Of alcoholic
drinks and narcotics and of their effects
upon the human system" applicable to
the public schools of the District of Co.
lumbia 1t Is not generally known that
one of the provisions of the above stat
ute requires that candidates for teach
ing positions shall be examined as to
their qualifications to teach the effects
of intoxicants. The Volstead act, which
in part finds place in the school laws
through its provision to permit, tax free
the use of alcohol for laboratory pur-
poses. is distinctive in that it Is the
only statute in the collection that was
passed over the Presidents veto on
October, 1919.
The first statute to accord to women
a place on the board of trustees was in
1900 in q reorganization of the school
system. Under the provisions of this
law the sum Of $40 was allowed for at
tendance on each meeting, not to ex-
coed so sessions, or $500 per member, In
any fiscal year. Since 1905 service on
out compensation.
The ground covered in this book Is
sufficiently inclusive TO react helpfully
on the rank and file Of the school en-
ployes. With q copy In each school
building. they can ascertain their ofn-
cial rights, as wei as their duties. BY q
more general knowledge Of the funda-
mental school laws, by being conversant
with the procedure on the estimates
and the intoxicated fiscal relationship
of the schools with the District and
Federal governments, the operation Of
the school plant, child labor problems,
retirement matters and the compensa-
ton act for injuries incurred in line OF
duty. there will be a more enlightened
stan, with a consequent improvement
in the school service.

Behold, l VIII take the children Of Israel from among the nations, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

SEISM0L OCICAL. STATION TO BE
 GIVEN BUNNELL
Alaska College Given Rec ognition-I Information
 Received Here

That there will be a seismologi- gal station established at the Alas "a Agricultural College and School of Mines in the near future, is the word received yesterday by Dr. C.. 2. Bunnell His information is in wire from Acting Director R. s. Patton of the Coast and Geo. letic Survey who advises as fol- ows: Owing to unavoidable delay 'eismograph will not be ready till all but it is hoped to make the installation before winter"
 Last summer Commander Hekt, ,f the Coast and Geodetic Survey fisited the College to confer with Dr. Bunnell on the subject of es- iablishing a seismological station tt the College. It was decided hat seismograph could be in- tailed in the physics laboratory by putting in the required concrete piers and enclosing sufficient space or operation now used for labor ltory purposes. It is proposed to lse a Bosch-Omiri instrument and provide with it a suitable cfronom- ter which will record the time as yiven by the Fairbanks wireless tation.
 Commander Tiekt pronounced the ocation ideal and said that it would be a very important link in he chain of seismological stations q the world. It was hoped that he station could be installed this bring. Dr. Bunnell explains that he delay is probably caused by he fact that the laboratories of he Coast and Geodetic Survey are ushed with work and that the york of building over the seismo- sraph to be used was only half lone when he was in Washington n January.
 Following closely on Dire c t or 'attons wire came a telegram from he Worlds greatest seismologist, vho is none other than Father Fondorf of Georgetown University. The wire follows:
 Dr. Charles E. Bunnell,
 President Alaska Agricultural

WILMINGTON, Del. April 27.-- Edward R. Armstrong, Wilmington engineer, is rounding out plans for construction of the first of seven floating airports' between the United States and Europe, which, he says, will make transatlantic airplane service a reality.
 Operation of the first seadrome, 375 miles off the coast of New York, would make possible six-hour air plane service between New York and Bermuda. Construction is scheduled to start in July, with the units to be built ashore, carried to sea and anchored half way be- tween New York and Bermuda.
 Negotiations now are under way to sound the bottom of the ocean at 36 degrees 50 minutes north lati- tude, 68 degrees 40 minutes west longitude, to determine the extent of the two-mile deep plateau now shown on Photographic charts, ap- proximately half way between New York and Bermuda.
 The seadromes developed by Arm strong after Is years study on it's problems, resembles an aircraft car rier in many of it's principles. An ehored to the bottom of the sea, it will head into the wind continu- ously to make only one runway necessary. It is above the reach of the highway wave action and has it's foundation below surface waves.
 Spacious hangars, as we'll as res taurants, hotel accommodations, waiting rooms, cafes, bars and oth- CT conveniences for the traveller, are included in plans for the first seadrome.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-04-27

The landing field will be 1,20O feet long, with a central section 400 feet wide and the ends 200 feet wide This has been considered sufficient for the largest planes. cost of the first seadrome is esti- mated at $l,500,000.
 Details of the procedure for re- fueling at sea and taking on sup plies are being developed by a hiladelphia oil company. Louis Bleriot, French aeronautical engi- resr, is developing a four-engined amphibian plane adaptable for sea- drome use. Armstrong says sev- cral American manufacturers have indicated their interest in building planes for use on the route.
