Wings for Youth


No sooner is the nation given to understand that
the president wants $4,000 airplanes for its protection
than Washington plans for the training of
10000 youths as civilian pilots. They would form a
reservoir which the army and navy air services
could draw in time of emergency. It does not take
Einsein to that despite official denials the
two programs linked While the country including
ship air fleet, there is a need for trained pilots
More and more the world is taking to the air.
The fact that America has the largest number of
commercial planes and the longest air lines should
not be interpreted meaning there is no need to
train future pilots 1t is well for any country to have
reserve of trained fyers-men who have their
certificates by so hours in the air. the aim of the
new training course
1t would be foolhardy to oppose the whole idea be-
services. They may be in the future. One look at
Britains plight that objection. Britain is
training men and expects to have 100000 by next
June Had she had that many last June history might
have been written differently in the closing months
of 1898.
There is no need to be alarmed about these youths
being miitarzed. In the first place the program
will be conducted experimentally by the National
Youth Administration. At the beginning not more
between the training courses and the armed forces
Work will be conducted would any of the other
vocational courses offered by NYA. There need be
no more complaint on training young to fly than
on teaching them to drive automobiles.

CARRYING THE TORCH INTO
THE WILDERNESS

For the advantage of six children, the people of
the community of Fish Greek, at the north end of
Douglas Island recently bent their shoulders to the
hard labor of getting out logs and putting them
together into schoolhouse.
At Kasof on Kenai Peninsula the people of the
town last year moved the old hospital building of a
defunct cannery to a suitable location and rebuilt
it for school purposes Enrolment at Kasiof is eight
pupils
These two stories, and dozens of others like them,
the history of education in Alaska.
The people of the Territory insist that insofar as
it is at all possible their children are to have the
same advantages of education as furnished in more
thickly-settled portions OF the Nation if extend
ing these advantages calls for considerable sacrifice
on the part of the parents.
Alaska, though its few people scattered sparse
ly in rough country which multiples the problems of
providing instruction has approximately $4,000
pupils attending Territorial Federal Private and Paro
chial schools
And still all the needs OF the children OF the Ter
ritory are not being met There are large number
of children Alaska living on fur farms and in places
far removed from educational facilities where there
there not enough pupils to form a small
special school, In instances parents have asked
for books and are trying to give their children what
instruction they during their spare moments.
These children are entitled to educational advan-
tages and the Territorial Board of Education has
recommended chat the Legislature appropriate funds
for the purchase of correspondence courses for them
The Commissioner of Education reports that approx
matey 80 pupils living in these isolated places
receiving instruction through such courses Their
parents paying for the courses but in most in
stances in these flung places parents afford
this expense
1t is reasonable request that the Legislature
should make the appropriation asked by the Board
of Education in order that parents may be relieved OF
this extra financial burden and too order that
children may have this important advantage.
Some have expressed the fear that pupils cannot
learn through such However, they have been
tried for years in many places in the States as well
as in the provinces of Canada, and in New Zealand
and Australia, where there are problems similar to
in providing educational facilities In all these
places the correspondence courses have been used with
complete success and there is no reason why they
cannot be successful in Alaska.
Not only would such courses be a great help in
educating children in isolated places, the Commits
soner of Education sSys but they could be used to
supplement courses now offered to high school pupils
in Alaskas rural schools
Only $4,000 is asked for this important extension

A Great Speech, Welcome Warning
philadelphia Record

philadelphia Record
We heard President Roosevelt's Jackson Day
speech Then we read it.
Either way it's great speech Every Democrat
and every liberal Republican should take it to heart
With his own special genius for hitting important
nails right on the head the President struck the
heart of the argument whether the Democrats
are not losing ground He said;
Less than half the voters of America Demo-
Gratis. Less than half Republicans. But more
than half of the voters for the Democratic party
whenever the Democratic party is for the majority
of the people
That's the point to remember between and
1910
There's no more certain way to ease the Republic
into power than for the Democrats to let them
selves be frightened now into abandoning the New
Deal and the liberal principles they have stood for
We're glad the President chided, good-naturedly,
those Democrats who wiring their hands in agonzed
despair because the COP. in November, recaptured
few seats in Congress they had held for years prior
to 1896. Reporting on cosmic radio chat he had
with General Andrew Jackson, the President quoted
the General
Son, my eyes getting old and I'm some dis
lance away, but from what from here the
only trouble with your fellows is that they've been
feeding too well and they scare easily.
CAS- for me, my son, my Democrats licked old
Nick Bidde when didn't have a majority in the
Senate and had few votes to spare in the House.
Tell your fellows to learn to count. You Democrats
today get scared and let the other fellows tell you
you've lost election just because you don't have
majoritieS big you go sleep without senries
President Roosevelt further recalled how jackson S
successor could not keep the Democratic party in
power he and they had drfted from principles
to politics" The result? William Henry Harrison,
elected by the Wings in 1910, made his first tender
of the Secetaryship of the Treasuryto whom do you
suppose? To old Nicholas Biddfe himself, the money
trounced and driven from the temple"
Principles do not suddenly end when victory in
their behalf has been won Neither does progressive
government constitute series of political four-year
plans
Progressive policies liberal principles are con-
tinuing policies continuing principles. Victories
only steps ahead leaving the way open for further
and greater victories 1t is the failure to follow
through which brings defeat-and not for those prm
cipes policies but for those entrusted with their
furtherance.
cratic party stands by it or not Liberalism always
has There may be interruptions but the long curve
is upward.
What the President warns is that if the Demo-
cratic party is to go forward-it must go forward with
liberalism.
