Alaska Newspapers, 1411 PROGRESS Britain’s plan for a new-type secondary school, in which boys and girls from 16 to 18 will “earn and learn,” is a direct outgrowth of a war-learned lesson. Industrial, educational and military leaders have declared that all citizens of the future must be skilled in vocational work before they leave school. The bill before Parliament is designed to correct the | situation which existed for a generation before this war in which approximately 85 per cent of British children left school before the age of 14. The recent decision of the London City Council to recommend ninety modern schools of 2,000-pupil capacity each for | the London area is in line with the new conception of government responsibility in guaranteeing skilled workers for the future security of the nation Educational leaders in this country are now plan- | ring a marked expansion of vocational training. With | 1t geserves the type of continuous attention that ' about 75 per cent of the nation’s youth of secondary- school age receiving education, as contrasted with THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— ! less than 10 per cent in 1900, and the prospect that 1 the figure will reach 90 per cent within a generation, | educators are facing a problem which will require a | solution in the near future. All youth should be given literary schooling commensurate with their abilities without discriminating as to color or creed Brilliant pupils without economic resources will receive help through scholarships and loans. But a majority of youth need to learn practical skills with which to | make a living. The increasing specialization of in- | dustry and agriculture presents a challenge to | educational leaders today comparable with that faced by pioneer educators last century, who fought for ‘Ul\l\v'l’.\.l] secondary education race, | Alaska Highw (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) The disturbing news that the Haines cutoff, a | promising route for combined sea-land traffic into | Alaska, has been closed to general traffic, again {accents .the need for a real Alaska international | highway. | There was much to encourage Pacific Coast | residents in President Roosevelt’s discussion, from | Bremerton last Saturday, of Alaskan and other Pacific problems. But the inference that the Alcan Highway has disposed of one of the problems of land com- munication with Alaska can hardly be permitted to go without further attention. If the Haines road cannot be mairtained by agreement with Canada, how will it be possible to maintain permanently the much more extensive and | much more difficult Alcan Highway? And even if the Alcan road were maintained, what would be the utility, in peacetime, of a route so roundabout, trav- ersing no important territory, and so far removed from the direct and natural north-south route? It is encouraging that the President has direced attention to Alaska and to the possibilities it offers for postwar development. It is particularly important that the President has touched upon the transporta- tion problem, including railway possibilities. For surely the development of better transportation facil- ities, by water, by air and by land, are among the most important steps that must be taken to insure Alask: future. Canadian cooperation is a “must” in discussing both air and land routes to Alaska. Canada, like our own country, has a national determined. And recent provincial elections have indicated the disturbed nature of Canadian politics. Yet surely, whatever the outcome of Canadian elections and our own, there should be deep appre- ciation,.on both sides of the border, of the necessity of better communications and transportation between Alaska, Canada and the continental United States It is an issue that should rise above partisan politics. insists upon a satisfactory solution of all the problems involved.

Smith stated that the globe fliers expected i to leave within two days from Greenland to make the flight to Labrador. The planes were being given a complete overhauling. Early spring weather and an unusually small amount of rainfall throughout the Interior during the mid-summer months had resulted in the rapid advancement of road building, maintenance and repair pro- grams of the Alaska Road Commission, according to Col. James G. Steese, President of that organization, who had returned to Juneau. Declaring that the peril of the crew of the Lady Kindersley was extremely great, the Hudson Bay Company, owner, had appealed to Gov. Scott C. Bone to send any available aircraft to the Point Barrow region to effect a rescue. The Lady Kindersley was caught in the ice a week previous about 45 miles east of Point Barrow. W. A. Eaton, Chicago mining man, had taken over the Louis Smith claims located in the same vicinity as the famous Chichagof Island and was preparing to do some substantial development work in the prop- erty. Mr. Eaton and his daughter had arrived here from the South and were to take apartments for the winter at the Hotel Zynda A few days previous, Mrs. Alfred Bloomquist, resident on Willoughby Avenue, gave birth to a nine-pound boy baby. Dr. H. C. DeVighne was in attendance. Mrs. F.
