 Pride in Schools
 Tt gives us great deal Q pleasure every year to entertair the faculty of the schools, and tht custom has become quite an eyenl with the Chamber of Commerce, President Jones declared in pre- senting MT Robertson to voice tht official welcome.
 The latter emphasized the inter est taken and pride felt in thf local school system by the entire community. ordinarily" he said sit is quite common to put teach CTS in a distinct category from the rest of the community. Here in Juneau, We have grown to know that the work they are doing con stitutes an important part of the community's work, and to realize its value to all of Us, business man as well as others. And wt take this method to show you W consider you an integral part ol the towns life.
 Interest Is General
 There could be no commuplity found anywhere that the people a' a whole take a larger pride in thst schools and in the work they arF doing"
 This, he added, has been true fol many years. He realized the fac tional fight that preceded the con struction of the first permanent fireproof school building. Since that time, he said, due to the intense campaign necessary to put thu project through, the school system has had the united support of the entire population.
 The growth of the school, ht noted, had been phenomenal. To. day there are enrolled l96 in thf high school and about 500 in the grade school. When formerly tht entire staff could be greeted by the Chamber at single noor luncheon, now it requires two meet ings to take care of the enlarged of teachers.
 T am sure all of you who arf here today and are engaged ir teaching are doing so with enthus- iasm and with the idea of helping our boys and girls to become bet ter citizens" he said in conclusion

It has given both too much, resulting ir a mistaken conception of the func- tions of the Government.
 T wouldn't give them anything But I would make it as easy a' possible for them to get everything they need" he declared. 'They should be taught to believe they earn what they get, rather thar that all they have to do is to ask for it." he added.

 T try to get from Bureau Q Education. He said no and givt me hell. What kind of goyet is hep
 That attitude, said MT. Lomen i. the result Of 2 mistaken policy The Eskimo has been given wher he should have been required tc earn. at least in some slight degree
