PHILLIPS SPEAKS
 AT KIWANIS SON,
 FATHER LUNCH HE0N

There is no such thing as child delinquency here or in any other town, Juneau School Superinten- dent A. B. Phillips said this noon lat the Kiwanis Club FatherSon luncheon in the Baranot Gold Room. Such a condition is al ways directly traceable to parental delinquency.
 Speaking before the Juneau Ki- wanians and their 9 guests, the superintendent said there were less child-problem cases in Juneau than in cities in the States where he has taught, but they were by no means completely extinct.
 Children are our greatest asset they always have been and they will continue to be forever" he said. T think it is also true to say they are our greatest problem. "
 Looking around this room I can see at least one face of a business man whom I remember as a student in the Juneau High School-that of Eckley Guerin. I have done this in other service clubs, and can repeat it in almost any organiza- tion in town. This alone proves to me the trite statement that chil- dren grow up into business men and leaders before you know it, is true"
 If the children in our schools and homes today will in the near fu- ture be our mayors, our leaders, our business men and workers, then they are truly Juneau's greatest and most valuable asset, the speak CT continued.
 He pointed out that in doing re- search for book he is now writing (on the background of Juneau Pub lie Schools and Alaska education in general since l86D he found that "all down the line Governors o1 Alaska have included in their re- port of assets, the Territory's chl- dren, listing that asset ahead of r,ining, fur industry, fishing, etc
 In speaking strictly of the school child, MT. Phillips stated that for each child's annual education the taxpayers spend sl8o. Since high school children take four subjects this amount can be divided into S45 for each subject.
 Therefore when Johnny fails III algebra for one term, he Is costing the taxpayers that much money which has been completely wasted. It can be readily seen that this multiplied by several subjects for a number of students would be dis astrous to the students, the com munity and the school budget. To prevent such situation arising we dc everything possible to obtain the finest teachers. Sometimes we fail in this just as business man sometimes makes an honest mistake in selecting his personnel. More of ten the failing child IS slmply Aot studying. It is this situation that the parent must take responsibility for the assets failure to increase his education and therefore his value to himself and everybody con- cerned."
 In telling of a problem" n" that arose in the Juneau High School several years ago, MT. Phillips re- counted the following story:
 Several youngsters were called Ion the carpet" for a series oi minor infractions of school regu- lations and pranks. Asked why they felt impelled to do these things, one hey stated that he didn't want to

Mr.. Robert Howard
President
Wilmington Junior Chamber OF
Commerce
Wilmington, North Carolina.
Dear Mr.. Howard:
The Cape Fear Area Council,
Boy Scouts of America, wishes to
take this opportunity to express
to the Wilmington Junior Chamber
of Commerce our appreciation Of
the excellent work that your organi-
cation is doing in connection with
the Boy Scout Program in New
Hanover County.
Actively Engaged
''Of your membership you have
SO men who are actively engaged
in some Scouting capacity or other,
such as Scout Masters, Commits
sioners, District Committeeman,
Troop Committeeman, Cub Mast
ers and Council Officers. We are
fortunate in having among your
membership the president Of our
council, who for many years has
done outstanding work among boys.
"Your committee that is now en-
gagged and sponsoring our Boy
Scout Circus is doing an excellent
job, and the plans that they have
outlined point to an outstanding
Circus in May.
1.-THE Junior Chamber Of Com
merce Paper Drive, which helped
to purchase protector for the
Visual Education Program, has
proved its worth in the large grow.
tn of new Scout Units and in the
quality of our program by the
training of our unit leaders. With
out the help of your organization
we would not have had the fine
Visual Educational equipment tc
enable us to have grown so rapid.
ly.
1.-THE unique feature Of the Junior
Chamber of Commences part ir
Scouting has been the organiza-
ton of Commissioner Staff entire.
ly from the membership of your
club. Through their hi weekly
meetings, and by their actively
giving service to our Scout Leaders
and the Troops, much richer and
sounder program of Scouting IL
being given the boys of our com.
munity. AS the work Of the com
missioners is an every-week, year
round project, it does not lend It,
self to publicity as such, and yet
the work Of these men in the fu-
ture lives of the citizens Of our
community is Of inestimatable
value.
The Wilmington Junior Chamber
of Commerce has done and will
continue to do an outstanding
service to the Boys Scout Program
1t was only through your help that
our growth of 43 per cent in mem
bership in 1s45 was achieved. The
benefits to your organization will
be given when the thousands OF
boys who are now receiving the
services of your men become
participating citizens and men OF
character in our future commun-
ity."
Sincerely,
CORTLAND w. Baker
Scout Executive.
