 DAVIS CUSHIONS
 SPECIAL SESSION.
Tendency Toward SoCiali- zation, High Taxes Is Crifi-
 eised by Former Legislator

While in Juneau WltA ilis sons James. Jr, ale; Rolly to spend Christmas with his son-in-law and daughter, MT. and Mrs. David Ram say, Capt. James V Davis says that he is weighing prospects of 1929 legis,ation-tax legislation and AL aska's trend toward soclalism-with a view to possible liquidation of his interests in Alaska.
 Capt. Davis. owner of Davis Transportation Co.,, principal stock holder of Marine Airways and for mer legislator says that aside from the affect future legislation would have on Alaska business, his ch.ei interest in the Territory's law-mak- CTS is that as a former member, de- feated in his last campaign, he is now che of the "elite, a memter of the club of defeated candidates for the legislature"
 Take note of some of our mem bers: Doc Walker, most recent to join our group. Others include Curtis Shattuck, Allen Shattuck, Frank Whaley, Alaska Linck, Rob- ert Hopes, Harvey Smith. They are Democrats. Some good Republicans have been defeated too Steve Vuko- vich, Simpson MacKinnon, Ed Lok- ken, Dewey Anderson, Wm. l.. Paul, Frank Shelton, Joe Coble and others. Look them over I think I'd rather be among the eliminated than not"
 As for the next legislature, the special session, Jim Davis quotes H. H. McCutcheon, member from the Third Division who, when he was in the House in 1889, was forever looking for the nigger in the wood- pile There is one in this woodpile, l would be willing to bet. You can't tell me that Gov Gruening thought the Territory couldn't wait two weeks more for the convention of the regular session of the Legisla ture in order to save the Territory from financial ruin. My guess is that with Congress converting the first week of January, he will be asking the special session for an

Deer, a famous game sport for
many a nimrod, have grown in such
great numbers in recent years in the
Northeastern Ohio area that the
1948 season was opened to gunners
and archers, while in other years
archers were permitted to hunt the
first two days of the season and
gunners were given the last four
days.
Farmers in the area had expressed
complaints of destruction being
caused by the deer and it was hoped
that hunters would decrease the
number.
James Burkholder, west of town,
and Ralph Davidson of Pandora, on
a deer hunting trip to northeastern
Ohio, bagged a 300-pound buck The
buck, a 14-pointer, dressed out to
lao pounds.
Burkholder and Davidson made the
trip along with a party of 7 men
from Akron. The men enjoyed good
luck, getting Z deer for their efforts
The deer head will be mounted by
Burkholder, who reported seeing
quite number of the animals in
the vicinity.

Teachers salaries last year i'm

Salaries to Go Up.
The Once of Education surveys
show that an average increase OF
about 81 per cent over the proceed
ing year was granted to teachers in
48 States. But approximately half
the entire teaching staff Of the Ma
ton earns no more, in terms of
purchasing power, than it earned in
1910.
A recent survey showed that in
81 States it was expected that
teachers salaries would go up an
other 8 per cent this year. In 13
States the estimate was mo in
crease and in IL States the esti-
mate was some increase with no
amounts predicted.
That is the school situation fac
ing the country as school opens this

aged because in this field are. still
to be found: The most acute short
age Of well-qualified teachers, the
most restricted living conditions, the
greatest percentage OF emergency
teachers and the most unsatisfac-
tory school building conditions.
Elementary schools in general
will have the most crowded classes
and the most certain prospect of
continually increasing enrolment,
at least up to 1856"
: BY 1858, 1,250,000 more elementary
children are expected to be In
school than there were last year.
Emphasis on High SCHOOL,
While the high schools will not
be materially affected by the up
surge of the high wartime BIRTH
rate until 1852, the once of Edu-
cation points out another factor
which will jump high school en-
rollments
with the high school increas-
ingly regarded as an integral part
of the common school system, and
with the growing emphasis upon
curriculums designed to meet the
needs Of all American youth, it is
anticipated that the number OF
graduates will increase even beyond
that which is predictable from the
larger birthrate alone" Mr.. Grigsby
says.
In order to construct new facil-
tiles to handle just the present en-
rollment and the immediate future
not as far away as eight years
the Nations schools must spend
$11 ,OOO, ,O00, 900.
This sums is needed to purchase
land, erect buildings and buy equip
ment, either to replace or modern
ize existing facilities or to provide
new facilities. Elementary and high
schools need s7,4O0, 100000 Of that,
while $500, ,00000 is needed by
the colleges.
Costs Up 100 Per Cent.
The school systems over the coun-
try are not having too much trou-
BILE getting building material, the
education office says, but they are
having a lot of trouble getting
money to pay for it, since building
costs have jumped more than 100
per cent since 1910.
The shortage of teachers is still
serious, Mr.. Grigsby says. particu-
larly in the elementary schools and
in the rural areas. The numoer of

eral lag in the Soviet educational system,
verging on breakdown IN some respects.
To cite only one consequence of poor
education, 1t is enough to say that during
the late war, our Army rejected most re-
cruits with four years or less of schooling
as functional illiterates," unable to be of
service in mechanical military progam.
AS for the prevailing conditions and
spirit in Soviet education, our investi-
eating scholars draw pessimistic conclu-
sions. One eminent expert, DR.. N. s.
Timasheff, Professor of Sociology at Ford
ham University and formerly visiting lee
turer at Harvard, states that the Soviet
school system has reverted to the reac-
tionary program which existed in the
Czarist schools during the nineteenth
century. A strict, rigid discipline prevails,
with no human relationship permitted be-
tween pupils and teachers. Children are
punished severely for even minor infrac-
tions of school regulations and are fire.

ence is that, today, the teaching of

form and color is lavished upon the ornaments
to be hung on the evergreen branches! They
shine like silver. They gleam like gold. They
glisten like snow. They fame like gems. They
blend like rainbows. Symbols are they OF the
beauty of holiness reached by the stairway
of the holiness Of beauty.
But as we think Of all this sparkling lowell
ness upon the green-spread boughs, there Is
the perennial tragedy of broken balls. No
matter how carefully the cherished ornaments
are put away, did ever Christmas come but
what some shining creation was found in ruined
bits, its glory burst as an irridescent bubble?
Was ever tree trimmed that before the glad
festival was over some fragile, shellike sphere
did not give up the ghost? It is that yearly
tragedy Of spoiled splendor which mirrors our
thought now that its the day after Christmas.
Broken Christmas balls suggest graces and
virtues on the tree Of the years which become
shattered and crushed. They speak of lost
radiance
One Of the dearest of friends, now in the
early evening-time of fruitful life of inspir-
ing service, has sent this Christmas to his
friends in all parts Of the world q verse which
is like lovely Christmas tree ball. In 1t, be-
fore he comes to the climax Of Christmas
chimes, he suggests some Of lifes shining
things which are inevitably broken as the
gray weight of the passing years takes its toll
and fills the road with treasures left behind:
1.-THE piercing eyes that flashed like burning
spheres,
The quick compulsion Of the youthful mind;
The hearts of friends whose beating death has
stilled,
