 Modern High School
 The High School, consisting of four grades. offers all the usual courses offered in any high school. Some subjects are required and oth- CTS are elective in each school year. Requirements for graduation are 32 credits which must contain eight credits of English, four credits of mathematics, two of a major science Physics or Chemistry, one of U. s. History and one of U. s. Civil Government. Thus, in a four-year course, only half of the credits are required and the student may select the other half.
 All High School students are urged to take two years of a foreign lan~ guage though none is required for graduation. The Juneau Schools offer a choice of three languages, Latin, French and Spanish. Books Free
 Text books are furnished free to all pupils in the Juneau schools Each student, upon enrolling, is re- quired to make a deposit which is refunded to him at the end of the school year when his books are turned in to the teachers. The pupil must purchase his own paper, pen cils, ink, etc, but all construction and art paper, all drawing paper, all ink, paste, and paint, etc, in the Grade School are furnished free.
 The janitor system increases with the size of the school As more and more rooms are utilized for class rooms, more janitor service is need ed. Hence, today there are three men and three women, Gull and

rifle shooting, archery, skiing, etc. One of the outstanding activities is tumbling.
 Study Comes First
 No student is allowed to partlcl- pate in athletics who is not passing in at least three subjects. Each par ticipant must have doctors cer- tificate at the beginning of each activity, granting permission to com pete.
 The High School each year pro- duces two plays and one vaudeville. These are open to all students of any class but the same rules apply for participation as apply for ath- letics. No failing student can take part.
 The Juneau Schools are most for tunate in the amount of music of- fered. Students as low as fourth graders may, by purchasing an ln- strument. get free instruction on everything except piano or organ, violin or other stringed instruments Vocal music is taught by special teacher from the kindergarten through high school. Glee clubs exist in the upper grades for boys and girls. In High School, there IS d Boys Glee Club, a Girls Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, and an A CapeAa group. There is beginners band and an advanced band as well as A beginners and an advanced or chestra. Students progress as rap idly as their proficiency permits from one group to the better group All are given individual lessons at first and then are given group les sons. For instance, all trumpets meet one day and all clarmets an- other. Each year the instrumental music departments put on at least one public concert. The band plays for all school athletic contests ana once in a while, weather permitting, will appear on the streets in down town Juneau.
 The volcal music department produces two big concerts each year one at Christmas time and anoth- CT later in the spring. These af- fairs have involved as many as 4oo children in single concert though usually the number does not exceed 125 or 150. All musical concerts are free and open to the public,
 Many Clubs
 There are other types of extrs. curricular activities and affairs Of a more or less minor nature. There are clubs of many varieties catering to the interests of the students When a demand arises for special club, one is organized. When the demand falls off or interest lags, the club is discontinued. At present there is a Photo Club, Mummers' Club, (dramatics), Science Club, French Club, Quill and Scroll (jour- nalism). Club (athletics), Rifle Club (Two-one or boys and one for girls), Ski Club, Boys Club, Honor Society and others. Students join the clubs according to their individual interests. All clubs are supervised by at least one teacher Most of the clubs have no social activities at all, though some of them have feeds" picnics or par ties from time to time

HERE'S WHERE JUNEAU SCHOOL
 DOLLAR GOES
Teachers Salaries Account for Biggest Hem in
 Local Budget

The following figures and tables show the amount of each dollar spent for various affairs of the school for the school year 1938-39. The present school year will not vary greatly in any department or item
 The trend of school budget Is always upward in a growing com munity and downward in a com munity that has ceased to grow or is declining. Juneau is growing and it's schools are reflecting this growth. Hence, the budget increases each year and will continue to do so as long as more and more pupils en- roll. When the schools cease to increase in enrolment, or actually decline, then the budget may be reduced. The proportionate part Of a school dollar changes but little from year to year.
 Out of each school dollar spent last year six mills were spent for general control

NAVY ENLARGES
 SITKA RESERVE

Although the Navy's main base is located on Japonski Island, near Sitka, the Government recently took steps to reserve a considerably larger area which will permit expansion.
 President Roosevelt issued an exc cutive order setting aside 195 acres on other islands adjacent to Japon- ski. They include Charcoal, Aleut- ski, Harbcr, Alice, Love, Fruit Is- lands and a number of smaller, un- named islets.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-03-31

The above figures could be read in percentages Hence, six-tenths percent went for general control, 66 percent went for teachers salaries, one and two-tenths percent went for texts, etc.

Suffer Untold Agony
In Terrible Cold;
Homes Blasted to
Pieces or Burned to
Ground.

Helsinll:. Jan. 1G.-(AP)- Con-
tinued Soviet air raids were reported
from Finland's interior today as the
severest cold in Is years brought new
suffering to victims Of the last four
days raids.
Suffering in the smaller villages
was said to be particularly intense,
because Of difficulties encountered by
air raid victims in finding shelter
when their homes were bombed or
burned. In some parts of Finland,
the Thermometer registered 81 de-
greeS below zero, fahrenheit.
An unconfirmed report said the
village Of EkeraS on the southwest
tip of Finland, was almost demolish-
ed yesterday. More than half Of its
700 homes were said to have been
destroyed and the inhabitants forced
to struggle through bitter weather
to other refugees.
This report said that Soviet war
planes dropped several heavy bombs,
blowing most of the village to pieces,
Casualties were small because the
populacc had taken refuge in the
fields.

u. S. Envoy
Hurries To
Belgian Job

Amsterdam. Jan. 16.-(AP)-De-
spite official assurances that Belgium
and The Netherlands are in no dan
ger of immediate invasion, the new
United States ambassador to Bel
GUM fastened today to his post.
The envoy, John Cudahy, former
minister to Ireland, left Dublin last
night under urgent instructions from
Washington to take his station at
once. It was understood in the Irish
capital that the urgency vas connect
ed with tension in the low countries
over reports of German troop con-
centrations along the borders.
Cudahy was appointed ambassador
to Belgium and minister to LuXem-
bourg on January 4, succeeding
Joseph E. Davies, now assigned as
