SCHOOLDAYS ARE HERE FOR JUNEAU BOYS AND GIRLS Sunny Ski(‘;fi%lcome‘Chil- dren Back to Studies for Another Year TRAFFIC COUNT SHOWS BUSIEST Front and Seward Street Franklin Most Pedestrians The total school attendance | today was: High Scheol 156, | and Grade School 508. | The frechman class in the igh school had 52 students: phomeres, 31; juniors, 36; copicre, 35, and port graduate 2. Acccrding to Supt. P this enrcllment will be increased within the next few days. In the grade school there are | 23 more pupils than on the opening day lact year. Possibly every li Jane or Jox who dashed home from school this | noon informed mother that school hours were to be from 8:45 in the morning until 3:35 in the after- noon, and mother, as well as the children, no doubt wondered why. New Schedules As explained by Supt. Phillips, it is this way: The high school sched-, ule calls for six one-hour periods{ during the day, instead of seven 45-minute periods, as on last year's schedule. The new plan, in ac- cordance with the newer ideas in education, will allow for instruc- tion in a subject during the m'\l: half of the period and study in| the same subject under .&upcrvx.smn: of the same instructor during the seccnd kalf. In High School The high school schedule calls for three one-hour periods between 8:45 and 11:45 in the forenoon, a lunch period from 11:45 until 12:45; one one-hour period from 12:45 un- til 1:45 and two 55-minute periods| from 1:45 until 3:35. The school bus, modates children living out of| town on the highway, will leave school immediately after 3:35. Grade School Hours So that the grade school pupils who use the bus will not be run- ning around town without super- vision before the bus leaves, they too, will be kept in school until 3:35. Schedules for the grade schools are made out by the indi- vidual teachers, and if grade sched- ules allow for school to be out be-| fore 3:35, the town pupils will be| excused, and the children who live out of town will stay in school and | use the remaining time until 3:35 as a play period under the teacher’s | supervision. Grade school lunch time will be from 11:55 until 1 o'clock. College Preparation Every precaution is being taken by high school authorities to as- sure Juneau High School graduates college entrance without difficulty, according to Mr. Phillips. Stu- dents are urged to take not more than four academic subjects each semester, and these they are urged to keep within college require- ments. If only four subjects are taken, little, or no home work should be required. A heavier schedule should require home work. Continuously since 1927, Juneau High School has been a member of the Northwest Association of Sec- ondary High Schools, and for a number of years it has been ac- credited to the University of Wash- ington and other institutions of higher education. ——————— REGISTRATION IN PAR, SCHOOL St. Ann’s Op-;'fhis Morn- ing with Classes Con- tinuing All Day which accom- Registration took place at St. Ann’s School this morning, and classes continued throughout the day.

With all retreat cut off, she threw stones at the cone in front of her and yelled at him until he stepped off the road, letting her by. ———————— KASILOF COUPLE WED Miss Grace Johansen and Chris- tian Madsen at Kasilof, where re- married in Anchorage. |ing thap hour in the afternoon. \ Gerald C. Field, Seattle archi- tect who has been in Juneau for some time investigating the prac- ticability of constructing a new business building here, released, some interesting figures this morn- ing in the way of traffic counts, made two days last week. On Tuesday and Thursday, pe- destrians and . automobiles were/ counted between 2 o'clock and 3 0 k in the afternoon at five street intersections. he result shows the corner of Seward and Front Streets to be the busiest section of Juneau from the standpoint of automobile traf- fic at least, with 240 pedestrians | passing on the North Side of Front) Street and 258 on the South side on Tuesday, 222 on the North side and 204 on the South side on Thursday and 126 automobiles pass- ing on the first day and 120 on| the second. i Taking the average for both, sides of the street for the two days the total number of pedes-; trians passing the corner of Front and Sewa on an average day would be 462 persons, and the au- tomobile traffic would be 123, dur- Ave: for the other counted corners are 592 pedestrians and 86 automobiles at the corner of Front and Franklin streets, counted on Front Street; 99 pedestrians and 60 automobiles . at the corner of Sec- ond and Franklin streets, counted on Franklin street; 279 pedestrians and 51 automobiles at the corner of 8econd and Seward streets, counted on Seward street; and 273 pedestrians and 60 automobiles at the corner of Third and Seward streets, counted on Seward street. The practice of making traffic counts to determine the best busi- | ness locations is used quite gener-| ally by business firms nowadays, the theory being that where the most people pass, the most business is likely to be done. 1 The ranking of the corner of Seward and Front street as being | the busiest is based principally on ! the number of automobiles passing, there being 37 more cars passing uring the hour than at the corner ges |of Front and Franklin, the nearest competitor, although the latter ner had 130 more pedestrians pass- ing.

There is an evident shortage lof deer in this district cxtending across Admiralty Island and the castern sections of both Chichagof and Baranof Islands. “Reports to this office indicate a good supply of local ducks and geese, a normal stock of deer on| the west coast of Baranof and Chichagof islands, and less deer on the east coasts and on Ad- miralty Island than had been ex: pected,” said E. M. Goddard, As- sistant Executive Secretary of the Alaska Road Commission. | The wild fowl season cpened Saturday morning. Local hunters who celebrated it at Mendenhall said there were plenty of ducks and an unusually large number of geese. Several hunters bagged geese the first morning and others were killed over Sunday and Monday. Those who spent the holiday in other areas also found similar con- Gitions to prevail. The weekly close season on ducks and geese started this morning and will last until Saturday morning. Hunting is permitted Saturday, Sunday and Monday of each week uniil November 5.
