EDITORIAL PAGE j
The Juneau Daily Alaska Dis
patch of March 23d has a front
page article of over a column in
length on the deal recently report
ed as pending between the W. P. &
Y. Route company and the Northern
Navigation company, wherein it
seeks to give the impression that
it has inside information in regard
to the transaction not obtainable
by less favored individuals than
those who shape the destiny of that
paper.' It says:
"It is learned from a reliable
source in Juneau that unless the
present deal for the consolidation
of Alaskan steamer and rail busi
ness under practically one head I
goes through, the White Pass Rail- j
way Company, the Copper River & !
Northwestern and the Northern
Navigation company will form a
trinity pool of their interests and
offer it to the government. They
are prepared to sell~at a sacrifice
as the best solution of the trans
portation problem in Alaska.
"President Dickenson, represent
ing the White Pass; President
Baxter, representing the Copper
River & Northwestern railway, and
Leor Sloss, representing the North
ern Navigation company's interests,
are now in San Francisco trying
to negotiate a deal touching their
common interests.
"The problemnow facing private
ly owned lines in Alaska is two
told. During the last ye-ir none of
them paid a cent in'dividends. The
Alaska Steamship Company, of
which Mr. Baxter is the head, for
instance, kept boats in service, for
maintaining schedules and carry
ing the mail at a loss. The White
Pass company and the Northern
Navigation company indulged in a
slashing rate warfare for the Yukon
and interior trade and both lost
money."
If the statement made by the
Dispatch that the Alaska Steam
ship company, the Northern Navi
gation company, and the W. P. & Y.
Route company had all lost money
last year in the transportation bus
iness is to be taken as a sample of
the reliability cf the remainder of
the article in question then the
whole of it may with safety be put
down as a lot of "hot air" gath
ered from the gossip on the streets,
for the report of the W. P. & 3T.
Route at the annual meeting of the
stockholders in London on Decem
ber 16, 1913, showed profits Sor
the year of over $200,000, and af
ter providing for ail charges and
sinking fund requirements there
were over $125,000 to go forward.

| Permit Every Normal Child to Develop Along
Lines of His Aptitudes
By Professor CHARLES ZUEBLIN. Publicist and Lecturer
EVERY child not mentally defective is creative and should receive
a chance to develop along the lines of hi- aptitudes. A CLASS
ROOM FOR CHILDREN PERFECTLY STILL IS A
PATHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON thai ought not to be expected.
A teacher that cannot guide children through the noise and bustle inci
dent to work is incompetent.
I BELIEVE IN THE TEACHING OF EVERYTHING IN THE GAMUT
OF CULTURE PROVIDED THE PUPILS SHOW AN APTITUDE FOR
THE SUBJECTS ASSIGNED. CIRCULATE FIFTY BOOKS THROUGH
A CLASS OF CHILDREN, AND AT THE END CF THE YEAR THERE
WILL BE A VAST DIFFERENCE IN THE CULTURE ACQUIRED BV
EACH-A VAST DIFFERENCE IN ACQUISITION PERMANENT AND
EPHEMERAL. THERE iS NO CONFLICT BETWEEN VOCATIONAL
EDUCATION AND CULTURE.
Graduates of technical schools where the work is comprehensive anil
the classes small will be found to have more culture al the end of ten
or twenty years after having left the school than those who used the
average college curriculum.
NATURAL ELECTRICITY.
Tapping the Air For It <i ProblorW
That Biffles Science.
In answering the ciuestioh, "Is the
prophecy that "went the rounds' about
twenty years ago that some way of
'tapping nature' and thus securing un
limited supplies of electricity from air
or from space coming true?" Edgar
Lucien Larkiu in the New York Ameri
can says: •
The nearest approach to the great
work of tapping nature's unlimited
store of electricity Is the act allowing
irrigating streams from high moun
tains to turn turbine generators over
and over again In different power
plants along down the sides of the
mountains and then after securing all
mechanical work of gravitation secure
growing work in the growth of food
plants. This is the height at present
of human skill in the work of "tapping
nature."
Windmills turning armatures Is an
other way of tapping. And the cap
ture of water In tides, using the force
of outflow, is still another. We still
have the dynamos with us. We must
turn armatures with their polar fields
of magnetic lines.
tt'e must use running water or flow
ing winds to tap nature or burn carbon
under boilers, which Is too expensive
and prosaic to be called the high art of
tapping, as one .would turn a faucet.
1 suppose my correspondent means
Just tapping u free supply. This auspi
cious eveut has not arrived unless
using solar engines Is tapping. Heat
reflected by niirr<»rs directly from the
noonday sun upon boilers has been
juade t<> generate steam and turn ar
mature*
Another .way of tapping is'to allow
the sun to >liine on thornio electric
piles, unious "f ends of bars of unlike
metals.
What my friend e\"idi»ntly wants Is
electricity as cheap its air. water and
sunlight "iliis really is the dream of
electricians Since not I dug exists but
electrons, and ll:ese tire electricity. It
does sei in that we ought to get all we
want for nofhfi'.g by merely taking or
tapping the supply. But Edison.
Thomson. -Uuiherford and Tesla and
Stein me! z have not blazed the way
into this unknown problem of the
flgCS
I have no doubt that man will make
this conquest, for the mind phasing iu
man is illimitable.
