KARNESRETURNS
FROM EDUCATION
ASSN. Meeting
IS Ala S k a High Schools
Again Accredited Wide
Interest, Legion Meet

A. E. Karnes, Commissioner of
Education, returned to Juneau on
the North Sea after stopover at
Petersburg, enroute home from the
education conventions at Spokane,
which he attended in company with
A. B. Phillips, Juneau Superinten-
dent of schools, and Hobart Kelly,
Ketchikan High school principal.
The Commissioner reported both
the Inland Empire Education Asso-
citation meeting and the Northwest
Association of Secondary and High
er Schools convention in Spokane
particularly successful and bene-
ficial to the cause of education
Thirteen Alaska high schools were
again accredited as previously
While in SeaUJie ana Spokane.
Mr.. Karnes, Department Com
mander of the American Legion in
Alaska, visited Legion posts and
found wide interest in the Legion
Convention to be held here next
September There is indication that
some Legionnaires might come from
Spokane. he reported, and it is
virtually assured a good sized dele
cation from Voiture rs of the 40 and
8 in Seattle will be on hand for
the sessions here. 1t is probable
they will bring up the team they
brought to Ketchikan two years ago,
he said
The Commissioner smilingly COM
mented that the Spokane news
paper men got slightly confused On
the dog sled situation in Alaska. A
reporter asked him if many children
were forced to use dog teams to at
tend school and the Commissioner
explained there was very little of
such service needed. The young re-
porter wrote an interesting, if not
entirely factual story, in which
dog teams were racing around over
the Territory carrying husky young
Alaskans to classes.

M uSiC Festival
Is to Open Here
Next Wednesday
Four Schools of Southeast
Alaska to Join in
Big Event

The second Southeast Alaska
Music Festival is to be held in
Juneau April 1925 with Ketchi-
kan, Wrangell, Petersburg and Ju-
neau participating. Each school is
sending their best musicians which
will work with Juneau's music de-
partment to put on two big con-
certs, Wednesday, April %, and
Saturday, April %.
The spirit of Festival is the spirit
Of cooperation - everyone working
together, without any thought of
compensation entering in.
In the States, every district has
their Festival, the best represen-
tatives eligible to pass certain re-
quirements and then go to either
State or National Festivals.
Alaska Takes Action
Last year Alaska instituted the
same idea. Juneau sent 10 students
under the direction of Miss Ruth
Coffin to Ketchikan to form the
first music festival for Southeast
Alaska. 1t was extremely successful
in every respect. Not only did it
create higher musicianship stand
ard between the two towns, but it
also developed a sense of coopera-
ton and comradeship between the
two schools. This year Petersburg
and Wrangell have indicated their
approval by sending delegates to
Juneau.
Various organizations in the
States are watching the develop
ment and growth of Festival in
Alaska with keenest interest.
With the cooperation and back
ing of the individuals and organi-
cations of Juneau, the Second An
nual Southeast Alaska Music Fes-
tival will be the outstanding
musical achievement of school music
in the Territory.

suggestion of Councilman Frank
McCafferty, it was agreed to scarify

Installation of a new and larger

IMPROVEMENTS
BEING PLANNED,
JUNEAU AREAS
New Water Main on Gas
tineau Sidewalk on
Willoughby Projected

Plans and specifications for new
iron pipe water main, replacing the
existing wooden high-pressure aux
iliary pipe line along Gastineau
Avenue, connecting with the A. j.
reservoir, to be drawn up by City
Engineer Milton Lagergren, and a
call for bids on the proposed i'm
provement by City Clerk A w.
Henning, were authorized by the
City Council at the meeting last
night. A preliminary survey of the
project by Engineer Lagergren re-
suited in an estimated cost for the
project of $4,000.
The existing wooden pipe line
has been in the ground for more
than 20 years, Mayor Goldstein said,
and has required considerable re-
pair Leaks have been fixed by the
application of metal bands and con-
crete enclosures, he stated and a
new pipe line is necessary due to
possibility of damage to property
in the event that the wooden water
main should burst. The new pipe
line will be installed on the upper
side of Gastineau Avenue, Mayor
Goldstein said, relieving the City
Of the expense of removing the ex-
isting pipe line, which is on the
lower side of the street.
Ne,0 Sidewalk
Another prospective city improve
ment is a new sidewalk on Will
oughby Avenue, replacing the exist
ing three plank walk. Il believe
that the people along Willoughby
Avenue are entitled to a sidewalk, "
said Mayor oGldstein, who proposed
the project, and that should be
our first spring improvement"
1t was estimated by City Engin-
eer Milton Lager gren that
a five-foot sidewalk constructed of
native hemlock, extending from
South Main street to E Street, would
cost approximately $1,000, and that
a four-foot walk of the same mat
erial would cost about SLIGO Con-
struction of cement walk was con-
sidered impractical at the present
time due to the fact that the Will
oughby Avenue till is said to be still
settling, which would result in dam
age to cement improvements.
Light Pole Issue
Mr.. Lagergren reported that poles
belonging to the Alaska Electric
Light and Power Company will have
to be moved to allow construction
of a five-foot sidewalk, but that
a four-foot walk could be built with
the poles remaining in their present
position.
Mayor Golstein reported that
search of City records by himself
and Engineer Lagergren had failed
to disclose any definite information
regarding the property line affecting
the sidewalk improvement on Will
oughby Avenue, and the Council
agreed to table the matter temp
orarily to allow consultation with
B. D. Stewart, former Mayor, and
former City Engineer.
ReSurtdce Willoughby
The city was authorized by the
Council to resurface Willoughby
Avenue with $500 yards of crushed
