HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
TREHTED TO FINE TILE
LIEUTENANT EIELSON
On Tuesday afternoon the students
df the Seward High School were priv
ileged to hear an interesting talk or
aviation, a privilege few ether schools
have had, by Carl R Eeileson, Lieut
U. S. A. aeronautical section, bill
who is more familiarly known as Alas,
ka’s air “Ace” and pioneer aviator ol
the Northland. Lieutenant Eileson ad
dressed the students to some lengtl
on not only aviation in the Territorj
but also on exploration work in the
Arctic.
He said that since Colonel Lind
bergh’s aehievment the eyes of the
world have been focused on aviation
For this reason, he stated, a liigl
school education as very necessary
to aviation, being that fundementab
for meterology and other aids helj
the student, who later intends to at
tend an aviation school.
Experiences that Captain Wilkin
and he had encountered in previoui
expeditions were narrated before th<
interested students; the purpose an<
need of • these expeditions was foi
two reasons, mainly, from a geograph
ical standpoint—to find out if land i!
to be found in the unexplored areas—
and secondly, to aid metearology—
from the weather standpoint.
In ending he described latest scien
tific instruments that are being used
in this work.
