CAMP BROKEN. SOLDIERS 60
 TO BARRACKS
Transportation Difficulty Cuts Company F's Visit
 Here by 2 Days
The soldiers are gone.

The soldiers are gone.
 They crawled out of their blank cts at 4 o'clock this morning, had breakfast a half hour later, broke camp and boarded the Fornance for an early start back to Chilkoot Bar racks. Transportation problems cut short the stay of Company F in Juneau originally scheduled to last until next Friday.
 Last night It. Col. R. w. Dusen- bury found it necessary to return to Chilkoot Barracks at once The J-44 the. only other boat available to take It. Col. Dusenbury to the Army post, developed mechanical trouble so the Torrance was made ready for the trip It. Col Dusen- bury notified Capt. L. D. Tharp that he would have the Torrance return to Juneau for Company F, or they might return to the bar racks tomorrow and save an extra trip.
 Weather Is Cause
 Last night Capt. Tharp explained the situation to the soldiers and asked for a vote. A majority of the men voted in favor of returning to Chilkoot Barracks today. Rainy weather, prohibiting baseball games and tending to make camp condi- tions unpleasant. is blamed in part for the soldiers decision to leave two days earlier than planned.
 After all it is more comfortable to sit in an upholstered chair with a reading lamp and a magazine in warm, dry barracks, than it is to sit around camp fire all evening and sleep on the damp ground5 said Private 1st Class Christ Jorgensen last night. T have been sitting around camp fires for years and I figure man will walk around a fire between 300 and 400 times in one evening, lodging the smoke. Right now feel like a smoked her ring"
 Juneau Thanked
 Captain L. D. Tharp, command ing Company F, expressed thanks and appreciation to the people of Juneau. the Forest Service, the Sig nal Corps. and the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce, personally and in behalf of the men of Company F, for cooperation, assistance and cor dial hospitality shown to the sol- diers.

H. s. STUDENTS ! MEET THURSDAY
 TO JOIN CLASS
Boys Who Wish to Sign for New Manual Train
 ing Work Invited

The first meeting of Juneau High School students for the l935-3b term will be held tomorrow after noon at 2.30 o'clock in the High School Building.
 Prospective students who had not planned on returning to school until September, however, need not be overly alarmed at that an- nouncement. Tomorrow's meeting, called by A. B. Phillips, Superin- tendent of Schools, is for the pur- pose of ascertaining the number of boys who wish to enroll in manual training classes for the coming year.
 Operated under the new system and aims of the Smith Hughes Vocational Education Act, manual training here this next term will be an entirely different proposition than it has been in the past, Superintendent Phillips explained today. Only 20 boys of at least l4 years of age will be admitted to the class. He said that it is im- perative for all boys interested in the manual training work to ap- pear at tomorrow afternoons meet ing.
 Turn Practical
 Recent approval of the Juneau School Board gave permission to operate the manual training class es under the Smith Hughes Act. This plan is a departure from the standard form of teaching manual training. Instead of working on book-ends, hat racks and similar articles, the students actually con- struct work of a trade nature, while, at the same time, they learn the theoretical side of the pro- fession through classroom period.
 It was explained that manual training under the Smith Hughes Act is primarily to train boys in some of the fields of trade in an attempt to take the place of the apprenticeship system which now is practically in the discard.
 However, such intensive work-it will be possible to earn IS credits in two years at high school in man. ual training-should not be taken, Superintendent Phillips warned, if students wish to enter college. Most a contribution by the Juneau con- gregation.
 Dr. Torbet, who will speak in the Methodist Church here on Sunday, is in general charge of missionary work in eleven western states and the Territory of Alaska.

to Walter Huston, Worlds
