the school on a high scholastic standard throughout, but to stress practical subjects. To this end Miss Shields again teaches a boys cook ing class two periods a week. It is the exceptional Wrangell boy wLo does not need a knowledge of cook ing when he begins to earn a liv- ing. Most of the boys will be en- ployed in fishing, out in the woods or in various activities away from town, where they must do their own cooking, much of the time.
 A scroll saw, lathe and circular saw was added to the shop equip ment this year and are valuable ad- ditions to the former equipment whose major pieces were a power band saw, power sander and power grinder. Each boy has his individ- ual work bench and tools.
 Books are again rented for non- inal sum- One dollar for the term is charged pupils of the first four grades; fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades pay $15O while high school pupils pay $2.O0. All furnish their own supplies.
 All members of the faculty are well qualified. No grade teacher has less than three years of protes- sional training and most of the high school teachers have had five CT more years of college work. High school teachers must qualify ac- cording to the regulations of the Northwest Association Tor accredi- tation of high schools. They cannot teach subjects other than those in which they have had a major or minor in training. Most of the facul- ty are teaching the subjects in which they majored.
 MT. Fabricius has arrangements practically completed for an employ ment bureau in high school. In a short time any person desiring stu dent help in odd jobs, care of young sters or household work can obtain it by telephoning the school. Estab- fishing the rate of pay Is the only detail remaining to be settled before the bureau will be functioning.

 According to the new salary schedule initiated this year teach CTS are paid extra salary for classes carried outside of school hours. Un- der this arrangement MT. Newman teaches all orchestra work and has gym for boys of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. Twice a week from 2 to 9 in the evening MT. Moe con- ducts gym classes for boys of junior and senior high The first part of the evening is spent in group games such as soccer and basketball, but the last hour is given over to jn- dividual activities, the rings, swings, boxing or whatever the boys choose to do. This is aimed pri- marily, Supt. Fabricius explains, to give the boys some place to go eve nings There is a possibility that a similar course will be opened later for girls group.

 Luncheon Meeting

The Chamber of Commerce held it's regular luncheon meeting Mon- day at Wrangell Hotel. Though the attendance was small, it was better than the previous Monday when a meeting was not held due to lack of a quorum.
 F. s. Barnes, president, asked Leo Mccormack to preside, saying that Mr. Mccormack, who had presided for the past three weeks due to Mir. Barnes absence, was more familiar with the matters to come before the meeting.
 MT. Thornquist reported that the federal site agent had been in Wran- gell briefly the previous Thursday and had selected the site tor the new federal building.
 The CCC camp at Petersburg was described by MT. Barnes who visited Petersburg last week, as "going to town" The CCC boys are working on the new experimental fur farm. authorized by the last legislature to De GSldUllouCu lOell CbOA D. A " Wrangell boys are working in the Petersburg CCC camp. The Wran- gell Chamber of Commerce has made a written request to J. M. Wyckoff, forest ranger, for a eco camp, but so far, an answer has not been re- ceived.
 During an informal discussion of duck hunting, MT. Barnes stated that there had been a steady flight of sprigs south through Wrangell Narrows Sunday.
 R. H. Stock, of Wright and Stock, contractors, who were awarded the bid for the extension of Wrangell Highway to Pats Creek, was guest of the chamber, and invited to join the luncheon meetings as long as he was a resident of Wrangell.
 Three scowloads of equipment for the road building, have been brought to Wrangell, MT. Stock said, and three more are coming. He added that it has been slow work getting the machinery here in the stormy weather, but the worst factor in re- tarding his work, has been the heavy rains. There is a mile of grading which cannot be done until it stops raining.
