ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION ALAS In the first issue of the Alaska School Bulletin issued by the Territorial Department of Education since W. K. Keller assumed the office of Comm! sioner of Education, a suggestion is made to ihc school boards relative to the employment of ceach- ers that is well worth consideration. Regarding ihe teaching staffs, the Commissioner said: {ANS FOR ALASKAN SCHOOLS. This is the time of year when the Boards of Education throughout the Territory a giving much time and thought to the lection of teachers for next year. This of- fice suggests teachers already in Alaska. One of the most significant weaknesses of Alaska’s educational system is found in the large numbers of teachers who come new to the Territorial schools each year, and leave Alaska at the close of the school term. Many of these teachers wish for only one year in Alaska to satisfy some personal whim, or a desire to travel, but many more are willing to remain if the opportunity to do so is presented. There are a number of teachers in the Alaska schools who were raised and educated in Alaska, and who plan to make Alaska their permanent home. Employment of Alaska teachers, where all other qualifica- tions are equal, will add much of value to our school system. The Office of Commissioner of Education has on file a complete record of the quali- fications of teachers in Alaska and we will be pleased to furnish this informa- tion to Board of Education upon request Commissioner Keller came to his present position through the Superintendency of City Schools in Juneau and Fairbanks. He is qualified to speak on teacher personnel not only from a knowledge of theory but also from practical experience. School Boards would do-well to weigh carefully his advice in this instance. Teachers who have made good in the system should be recognized, particularly when to do so is to the best advantage of the system itself. KNUTE ROCKNE, THE LEADER. Millions who never saw or heard Knute Rockne, who never witnessed a “Rockne” football team from Notre Dame, his beloved alma mater for which he was athletic director and coach for many years, felt a deep sense of loss and keen shock over his tragic death this week in an airplane accident in Kansas. It was, of course, the fame of Notre Dame’s football legions that was at the foundation of his own fame, that made his name familiar in virtually every household in this land. But Rockne was more than a mere football coach. He was supreme as a strategist in the grid- iron sport. In recent years Rockne-coached teams ran wild over the colleges of the country, and were either national champions or runnersup. Great as was his genius in that field, it did not surpass by his quality of leadership of the boys with whom he came into contact. He inspired them to heights of achievement, instilled in them courage to do against odds, determination, confidence in them- selves and in each other, which are among the most Important elements in the building of real men, To them he was “Rock.” They respected him PAST SECOND AND SEWAR and loved him. To them his untimely ending has it adjourns.—(Detroit News. IN APPRECIATIO} THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1931. [ brought a heavy personal sorrow. And the millions |of fans who followed the game truly sympathize | with them. His going is a very real loss to colleze | athletics, particularly to football. His counsels in the college athletic world were usually sane and his viewpoint sound. Other coaches may conceivably \equal his remarkable record, but not many will leave the shining example he has left to point a way for those who would follow in his footsteps. He gave loyalty as he required it; taught self-sacri- fice by practicing it; instilled a sense of duty to self and one’s fellows by performing it; and ‘mparted to others a love of the game for the game’s sake by pursuing that course without a single deviation. Surely such a man did not live or die in vain. REGIS TOMORROW. will RATION EN Registration for this year end tomorrow evening.

(New York Herald-Tribune.) We sit so warmly in our “movie” palaces, and we are so accustomed to read of the ingenious miracles performed on the Hollywood lots, that it is startling | to find the papers filled with hour-to-hour reports {of sealers and film men, hungry, wet, half clad, struggling across the ice floes to a little island off | the north shore of Newfoundland. | For the sealers it was all in the day’s work. They are men of iron, accustomed to risk their |lives at sea 365 days in the year. Unconscious | heroes, the risk of the storm is as matter-of-fact to them as crossing an automobile-infested street |to New Yorkers. That it was a keg of gunpowder lwh\ch blew up the Viking instead of an iceberg immmlng its bow in could make little difference to “Lhem; it was all part of the normal professional peril. It is unfair to them that our mind inevi- {tably concentrates on the risks of the three adven- | turers who were in the north to make a picture; |but because we are used to the knowledge that such men live on the frontier of life we forget the splendor of the daily spectacle. As these lines are written it is not known whether Varick Frissell and A. G. Penrod, two of |the three Yankee film men who were aboard the | Viking, went down with the ship, are drifting, wounded on the ice, or have been rescued. One | hundred and twenty men have reached land, and they were not among them. They had returned to the north thus early in the hope of filming new- | born seals. Their picture, “shot” last year, seemed incomplete; they wanted more to add to it. So they went back into the north with the sealing ships, and now the country watches hour by hour for news of their fate. The tragedy gives a new- realization of what films can mean, and a new faith in the silver screen. For the public has been overfed with stories of the technical miracles. of Hollywood—of the synthetic snow, of the jungles in the zoo, of the amazing realism of exotic scenes on the “lots.” That is only a part of motion-picturedom. The great adventure pictures, which will hold their biting human interest for decades at least, are not manu- factured in Southern California. Schoedsack and his fellows had to climb the mountains with the Bakhtiari to film “Gras”; O'Flaherty had to live in the north to make “Nanook.” The snowstorms of “The Silent Enemy” were real. Byrd's and Robert Cushman Murphy's dnd the other Arctic, Antarctic and tropical animal pictures had to be taken where the animals lived. And Frissell, Sargent and Penrod with their cameras went north where the seals are born, partly because the very lure of danger) beckoned them on, and partly because the rest of | us who stay safely at home demand the realism | which only reality can give. Thejr ship was named, | long ago, the Viking; and they, too, were vikings | of a new sort—vikings of the screen. | Prominent Republicans next year may be dodg-| ing Presidential nomination instead of driving for one.—(Atlanta Constitution.)

Follow Similar Rule by Roasting Coffee a Little at a Time DOUGLAS NEWS D. F. D. BASKETBALL MEN ‘ TO BE GUESTS OF HONOR Douglas Firemen concluded their basketball act at the regul ivities for the season meeting of the Fire Depariment last evening with a financial report which showed a favorable cash balance. The mon- ey will be used to provide a feed to be given in their honor at the next meeting April 16. Arrangements were also made last night to make fire extinguish- er tests soon with the view of add- ing to the present equipment. Some suggestions regarding the staging of the annual dance event of the department on April 18 were made and an active campaign is soon to be undertaken on behalf of the affair. By adding the halves of fruit to the hot syrup a few at a time, the boiling temperature is maintained and the fruit cooks to firm, tender goodness. This principle is apparent in Hill Bros.” process of roasting coffee and the result is a uniform, deli- cious flavor no other coffee has. A constant stream of expertly blended green coffee is introduced into the roaster in automatically measured lots of about three pounds. As it} passes through, uniform heat roasts it a little at a time. When the op- cration is over, every berry is roasted to an even degree that could never be secured by any bulk- method of roasting coffee. This_process is fittingly called Controlled Roasting. -It was orig- inated and patented by Hills Bros. and develops a savory, delicious flavor that no other process can equal. Because Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in vacuum, it is always| fresh. By this process, air, which | destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken out of the can and kept out. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab—the trade-mark—on | i EASTER PROGRAM PLANNED Easter Sunday, April 5 will be observed with a special service and program at the Congregational church.
