 Emma Sarepta Yule, affection ately known to her intimate friends here as Emmy Lou" was at one time in charge of the public schools of Juneau, the capital city of AL aska
 Many We'll Known Pupils
 Among the many pupils attend ing school at that time were: Grover c. Vim, a successful law yer and recently a member of the Legislature of the Territory; Crys- tai Snow Jenne, whose children inherit their mothers musical tal- ents and are making good in other schools; Emma Williams Gray, the wife of one of our leading editors, Edith Messerschmidt Bavard, a suc- cessful business woman; Beatrice Behrends Mullen, the wife of the U. s. Commissioner, and many others who recall with affection Emmy Lou's" many social qualities and her ability as an educator.
 'In Japan Without Clock or Cal endar" is one of the most interest ing of the various publications Of the above named author, who dur ing her many sojourns in Japan was delighted to find that they "did not do things the way we do in the United States and deplor- ed the changes she noted on each recurring visit and would fain keep Japan untouched by Time" She admits having no "call to uplift or change" them as they seem to her ito be fairl yable to hold their oWn.'
 Pre- War Tokyo
 She gives one a picture of her beloved Tokyo of pre-war days and we saunter with her through fascinating paths where Without Clock or Calendar she recreates for us the charm of the temple grounds the colorful streets, the wisteria powered tea houses. We attend the Emperor E chrysanthemum Garden Party; spend a Japanese New Years at a private home; en- joy the Mayako Odori given in Cherry Blossom time: and are en- raptured with the view of "Nikko the Beautiful
 Her visits to a country estate, her ramblings among schools, and various pilgrimages over the coun- try side give us an interesting view of the differences in the educa- tional institutions and social GUS toms of the United States and Ja- pan. Her wide experience as an educator in the American schools make her exceedingly competent to do this, and to present the high lights of the Japanese system in a most entertaining style.
 The Perry Pilgrimage
 One of the outstanding chapters in the book is the Perry Pilgrim age' when with great skill she re- constructs for us the momentous happenings of July 1853, and de- scribes the pictures which pass be fore Fancy's eye" Seated alone in a tea house in view of the Perry Monument on Uraga Bay, we see with her, in fancy. the bay dotted with large junks loaded with sold- iers; the. susquehapna, jPerry's flagship; the American officers; the many trade junks; the three boats carrying the Japanese dele gates or dignitaries who made two preliminary visits to Perry'S ship;

DOUGLAS CITY lCOUNCA MEETS
 HAST EVENING
Members Decide They Are Unable to Finance Vo-
 cational Training

Lack of funds necessary to as sume any extra burden connected with the expenses of operating the public school caused the City Coun- Gil, at the regular meeting last night, to turn down the proposition of adding community vocational training to the school curriculum for the coming semester.
 The members of the school board were present at the meeting with a letter from A. E. Schoettler, dl- rector of vocational training IL Alas ka, in which he asked that the course be added. Mayor A. E. Goetz and several Councilmen expressed approval of the work, but the cost of materials and supplies, and an extra teacher, only a part of which would be refundable from the Ter ritory, caused the Council to vote it down for the present.
 A letter of resignation as Coun- cilman from Hans Loken, who has moved to Salmon Creek, was read and accepted. The vacancy result ing was left to be filled at the next meeting.
 The Council passed resolution fayoring the First National Bank of Seattle as first depository of the P. w. A. money to come. Four teen bills amounting to $930.54 were ordered paid. Consideration and reading of new ordinances covering licensing of game machines was left for series of special meetings to be called by the Mayor.
 A letter from the Douglas A. N. B. containing request for road im- provements and better lighting on Thlinket Avenue was read and re- ferred to the street committee. Re- pairs for all the streets and a plan to alter the course of drainage from McKanna Creek which at present passes down E street, crossing over at Third to D Street, to empty into Bear Creek were discussed and left to be taken care of as soon as pos- sible.
 The releasing of the Liberty the atre building was also discussed but no action taken owing to the ab- sence of w. D. Gross.
