JUNEAU's REMARKABLE SCHOOLS

The proof of school systems work lies, as Grover Vim says in the of its pupils after graduation In Juneau that success has been phe- nomenal
 No graduate of Juneau High School has ever failed at any University and there have been Juneau boys and girls graduated from every University and College on the Pacific Coast well as many in the East
 Many Juneau graduate has gone on to win a Phi Beta Kappa key, the highest reward for scholarship A number of todays PhD's and larger number with Masters degrees were once Juneau High School pupils.
 Every year for the past seven years, Juneau High School graduates have ranked first among all students taking entrance English examinations at the University of Washington Not just an acci- dent this is testimony the excellence of the local school administration,
 The present members of the School Board have had total of AS years experience at their exactng and often thankess task. R. E. Robertson Presi- dent is serving his f6th consecutive year member Walter P. Scott, Secretary, is in his seventh year Grover C. Vim has been member since 1915, hav- ing served continuously all that long period except for year.
 When Grover Vim was first elected to the School Board in 1915 the Juneau School had 200 pupils and eight teachers. The last report shows 33 teachers and enrolment of 931. During that period the two fine school buildings were erected.
 An outstanding feature of the present School Boards administration has been the harmony with which the Schools have been managed. The jang- ling which is the inseparable companion of School Board proceedings in most localities has been totally lacking here The Juneau School Board has avoid ed all school fights and difficulties. The present members make good team They work well to- gether
 
 given it thought as to why man should want to be member of School Board. He gets no pay and is called upon to devote almost endless time and effort to his duties. His only rewards are pride in the accomplishments of the boys and girls who have attended his school and the vote through

Dominion Air Power
lNeW York Timesl

To win the war the British Empire is depending not only on the playing fields of Eton but on the flying fields of Canada. From the latter the first squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force has ar rived in England It is the vanguard of an armada which is expected to develop 50O0 trained pilots year The British believe that with their home forces this will be enough to tip the balance of air power definitely against Germany.
 Canadas great war effort is concentrated in the air On the Canadian praires the full resources of three Dominions are being pooled in the Common wealth Air Training Plan Canadians are confident that they can supply at least 10000 pilots air ob- servers, gunners and radio men annually Australia and New Zealand will each send 2500 more from their home fields for final training The cost of the plan allocated among the three Dominions and the United Kingdom, has been set at $00OOOOO0O over three-year period Canada highly minded, already has about 20 suitable airdromes and SO more are being added Canadian plane factories operating at top speed, and both training and fighting craft are coming from the United States For every man sent into the air ten are necessary on the ground and these under intensive training By May of this year the Commonwealth plan should be under full power.
 Toward the end of the last Canadians made up 40 percent of the R.A.F. Major Bishop, the Canadian ace alone destroyed 72 enemy planes Canadians and Anzacs proved the best flying terial England had If, as Napoleon said, victory depends the last reserves, fighting flers from the British reserve of Canada Australia and New Zea- land may force the final decision in the clouds

Hull Scores
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Deaer)
 One of the pleasing SUI prises of this session has been the relative ease with which the Administration has advanced it's trade agreement program
 When the lawmakers gathered in January the chances perpetuation of the Hull policy appeared uncertain Even its stoutest friends doubtful if an election-year Congress could be induced to extend the pact-making authority of the State De oartment which will expire June 26 if not renewed
 The Hull agreements were under bitter attack from Republicans who flooded the country with figures aimed to show there is something dangerous in more foreign trade. They sought to scare the farmer with accounts of increased agricultural im ports but failed to point out that most of these were such products rubber and coffee, not grown in this country.
 But so far as Congress is concerned, this attack has failed The trade agreement calender was an easy. victor in the House Last week it won its first important Senate test when the Finance Committee voted 12 to g. to recommend a three-year extension of the trade program This week is expected to see the final vote in the Senate, where the victory It deserves appears certain.
 The weakening congressional opposition to the policy which now connotes the of Secretary Hull may well be symptomatic of growing public recognition of the faacy of economic isolation The tariff is a dull and technical subject concerning which the average voter may know little and care less But he does realize that international trade cannot flourish on one-way street. that he who sells must also buy, his customers abroad will have nothing to do business with
 Republicans may continue to make the recipro- cal pacts a major campaign target But they are not likely to find it a very impressive argument among intelligent voters who in the present world catastrophe fruits of economic soationism
 Meanwhile, the successive victories which his trade program is winning in Congress are adding to Cordel Hulls stature as presidential possibility
