EDINBURG, June 3.-While II.
G. Baker, superintendent of the
Edinburg independent school dis
trict insisted there was no difficulty
between members of the faculty and
himself and that reports of whole
sale dismissals and designations
were exaggerated, several members
Of the teaching staff last year were
reported TO be holding a meeting
Monday to discuss issuing q public
statement.
Baker said that only 21 vacancies
had occurred in the faculty from
all reasons and that all but eight
Of these represented teachers who
were quitting the profession to get
married or teachers who had secured
positions in other schools.
He denied that any member Of
the faculty ever had been told that
he was discharged for political rea-
sons. but said that some Of those
not reelected hat been dropped
from the staff in the interest OF
harmony in the system.
Baker said some Of the teachers
had been offered reduced salaries
in q program OF financial retrench-
ment
A list of "a teachers which he
said had been reelected was issued
by the superintendent.
Two OF the men whose names were
included in the list as having been
reelected said they had been noti-
fled that they were discharged and
that they already had secured po-
sitions in other schools.
f.. E. Tut, formerly teacher OF
vocational agriculture in the junior
high school. said he had accepted
a position in Abilene after he had
been notified he would not be re-
employed at Edinburg. X. ID. An
derSon, instructor Of automobile
mechanics. said that he has ac-
cepted a position in Houston.
Other teachers were silent on the
reasons for leaving the system.
Inability to adjust themselves to
our program of financial retrench-
ment. which is for the best inter-
est Of the citizens of the district,
was partly responsible for the fall
ure of eight members Of the faculty
Of the Edinburgh schools to be re-
elected for next year" the superin-
tendent stated. To secure harmony
for next year it was necessary that
those faculty members who are not
in accord with our policy to give TO
the citizens of the Edinburgh con-
solidated independent school dis
trict the best schol system possible
at the least cost, be replaced" he
continued
other factors which entered into
the replacement Of these eight
teachers were diSloyalty to the
school organization, a combination
OF work which will permit a reduc-
ton in the teaching force, and the
inability Of some teachers to work
harmoniously with the school pro-
gram" Mr.. Baker stated.
The turnover in the teaching force
Of the Edlnburg schools this year
is not unusual, officials Of the school
said. and the percentage of teach
ers who are not coming back an
other year is not as high as in most
school organizations.
Instructors in the Edinburg school
system, who Baker said have been
reelected. subject to assignment
are as follows: Louise ". Allen. @.

THE NEW YEAR.

Juneau, and Alaska as the rest of the world, begin a new year today. The indications are favorable that the year will be. the best that Alaska, particularly Juneau, has ever had The old year which ended yesterday was one of Aaska's best years. Production in the Territory in 1928 was more than $16,0OOOOO higher than the year before It ought to be better in 1929 than it last year. Juneau showed a vast improvement in 1928 over 1927 and the indications that 1929 win show marked improvement 1928
 The most important things in connection with the year 1928. insofar Juneau is concerned, were the increased gold production of the Alaska Juneau Mine and the gain in the market value of its stock. The indications are that the Alaska Juneau will show further improvement this year.
 There is no reason to believe that the fish cries priduetion of Alaska in 1929 will not make an increase over that of 1928, which much larger than that of 1927, and it is almost cer- tain that Juneaus participation in the fisheries of 1929 will be greater than it was last year.
 With the construction of the Territorial Capi- tai part of the 1929 program there is no doubt but that the building operations in Juneau this year will exceed the satisfactory 1928 record.
 Plans and preparations for the addition of air transportation between Juneau and the States in 1929 are already complete There will be at least one company operating planes sched- ule to Juneau before the year is half over and there may be more than line in the game.
 But more important than all of these is the fact that Indications point clearly to the be- ginning of construction pulp and paper mills this year in this vicinity. The next great in- dustry to be developed in Alaska must be pulp and paper and the development of the timber resources of Southeast Alaska. With that in dustry, will begin the next large population gain of the Territory. It will bring thousands of workingmen with it. and with the workingmen will other vast additions to the population. Indications that the beginning of that prom sing development will be in the immediate vi- cinity of Juneau. The population of Juneau should show a remarkable increase within the present year. and it will be followed by further progress the years
 Never before did Juneau enter year promising as the one that begins today. There fore, it is than hope of fulfillment that The Empire today wishes all of it's readers a very, very, happy and prosperous New Year.

President Parkinson of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States speaking before the Association of Life Insurance Presidents, early this month showed that American life insurance companies have written and stand responsible for S95,000 900 900 of the worlds live insurance policies. Behind this vast volume of life insurance the American companies have in capital and $16,- 000.000, ,00O with which to protect the 65 000,- 900 policy-holders American companies carry over s15, ,000 000,O insurance in foreign coun- tries.

 Wyckoff called attention to the facts that the seaguIls prey the salmon they ascend streams to spawn and upon the eggs after spawn ings-facts so well known in Alaska that to re- count them seems trite. He suggested that all
