are desirous of going into the game bette equipped for finding outcrops than W ere the oldtimers. These words, coming from an authority, are significant.
 The dean adds the further import ant observation that the young man of today, with the same incentive, will dig as fast and furiously as any other group-and that the problem is not so much the shortage of prospectors as it is to properly equip them. This is fact that should go home to ev- eryons interested in the welfare of Alaska.
 Many are in position to hiep the new man and to share the returns Winch may come from his efforts. It not only VIII help Alaska in a genera way to get more men into the field but will yield reasonable return to to those who back the men who need grubstake and the preliminary knowledge of prospecting.
 Lode mining, as the dean points out, is giving great promise in Alaska to- day. This is true for the present in particular as respects gold-bearing properties. The world never offered greater inducements to the gold miner than it does today. Alaska is second to no field for opportunities in gold lode and placer operations. Many areas in this Northland empire hold out signal opportunities.
 Now is the time for the man means to assist the prospector to initiate the movement of getting more we'll equipped men into the hills-and young men in particulars the re- wards will accrue not only to the in dividual participant but to every phase of Alaskan life.
 Alaska's College is doing good work in schooling the prospector. The only regret is that more men have not availed themselves of the opportuni- ties offered by taking up the winter courses. It is to be hoped another winter will see the mining classes at College multiplied in number of att tendants.

KELLER TALKS ON PROF.
 LEMS OF ALASKA SCHOOLS
(Stroller's Weekly.)


 In one of the ablest addresses ever given before the Juneau Women's Club, w. K. Keller, commissioner of education for Alaska, held small but appreciative audience breathless with interest as he pointed out with force and clarity some of the difficulties in the way of efficient administration of schools of the Territory. The addess was given at the Clubs regular monthly luncheon. It was one of a series of speeches arranged for this years program, all of which deal with the various departments of the Ter ritorial Government.
 "The system is not effective and neve can be effective" he said, .'and, regardless of propaganda to the con- trary, Alaska's schools are being seri- ously affected by the lack of organ ization in the school system, and the way it is being made political foot ball" We can gain nothing by dodg- in gthe facts. Our only hope is to face them squarely and try to devise remedies for the evils that unques- tionably exist"
 That ono of the most pernicious of these evils is the fact that has no real head, that there is actually no single person to whom one can point the finger of responsibility, cannot be questioned, he declared. At the pres ent time the authority is divided three ways, the Territorial Board of Edu- cation, composed of the four senior Senators headed by the Governo, the Commissioner of Education, and the local boards of education in the vari- ous communities. The personnel of the board is thus is thus subject to

GOOD PROSPECTING NEWS

 Good news comes to theT mics to- day from the Alaska College.

He says more young men are preparing to get into the hills and

constantly shifting changes, as aside from the Governor none of them re- mains in office long enough to formu- late definite educational policy, even though they had the qualification to do so, and men who are elected to office on such platforms as their stand on fish traps, their zeal in be- half of Pioneers or their promise to subsidize something for the local di- vision that sends them here, are not usually especially qualified for a po- sition on. the Board of Education.
 He pointed out the great need for economy in administering the school system, citing instances after instnce of places where money had been toured out like water with no com mensurate benefits to the schools. He showed, also, the great faliacy of hav- ing theTeritorial Government solely responsible for financing the schools in the unincorporated towns. Make the people who profit by the schools assume at least small part of the expense of their maintenance, and you will automatically have both greater interest and greater attend ance, as well as fewer demands on the Territorial treasury" he declared. There is, he said, no ad valorem prop erty tax except in the larger towns, and sa consequence thousands and thousands of dollars worth of taxable property, lying outside city limits all over the Territory is exempt from taxation. He gave as striking illustration of this the holdings of the # airbanks Exploration Company, ly- ing entirely outside the town of Fair banks, but enjoying for the children of it's employees all the benefits of school system on which residents of Fairbanks pay their pat.
 Taking the office of the Commis- sioner of Education out of politics, having a Board of Education that is non-political, appointed in much the same way as the Board of College Regents, and composed of members having some qualification for the work, and devising a system of taxa tion that will require every property holder in Alaska to pay his share, re- gardless of where his poperty is To- cated, were the remedies he offered to correct the wills of the situation as it exists today and which, he says, spells the ultimate ruin of the schools of the Territory, if not corrected.

CONSUMERS DENIED
CODE BOARD PLACE
Johnson Turns Down Demand
for Representation on
Authorities.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Hugh s. johnson, recovery admins
traitor, last night refused the demand
of a group attending a consumers con-
ference here for consumer representa-
ton on code authorities, but told them
he would accept all the advice they had
to offer.
To show he meant this, he asked
two members of the conference to come
to Washington for a few weeks as his
special assistants
They were Leon Henderson of New
York, who had made several emphatic
statements and demands, and F. j.
Schlink of Washington, N. j.
Climax of Conference.
The meeting with johnson was the
climax of the conference on consumer
problems, which opened Friday under
the aegis of the Consumers Council of
the Farm Administration and the Con-
sumers Advisory Board of the N r. A.
The first session, at which was out
lined d program calling for county
consumers councils charged with ac-
tivities ranging from price investiga-
tions to symphony orchestra encourage
ment, wsS an open one.
At subsequent closed sessions, the
Federal consumers bodies came in for
criticism, and yesterday afternoon Mrs
Mary H. Rumsey, chairman Of the Con-
sumers' Advisory Board, suggested that
all Government representatives with
draw while a program was formulated
Demand Presented.
The result was that Is members of
the conference presented to johnson
last night the demand for specific con-
sumer representation on the code au-
thorities.
Johnson told the group it was criticiz-
ing the N R. A. "conjecturally" when
it had not seen fit to do so factually
at public hearing called for December
Is, but postponed to January 9.
THE way you can help me most" he
said. "is to see that people who are not
cooperating in the program do not
get the patronage"
