NOME SHOULD DO SOMETHING OBTAIN
FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS IMMEDIATELY
It is our firm belief and opinion that additional efforts
can bo put forward to expedite the release of numerous fed
eral appropriations which have boon made for the Nome
and Seward Peninsula districts.
We speak particularly of the Alaska Road Commission
funds, totalling $190,000. which have not yet come through,
so as to permit the continuance of road work in this section.
Three weeks ago all of the road crews in the Nome dis
trict were laid off because the former appropriation had
been expended. Since then the workmen have been with
out work in Nome, and a great loss of time and resultant
poor showing has been scored up against. Nome.
It many times conics within the scope of the city news
paper to suggest way- and means for civic betterment and
development. We take this opportunity of suggesting that
every means lying within the grasp of business people and
federal agents in Nome be used to bring about an early re
lease of these funds.
Some efforts can be made by wirelessing federal officers
and other influential persons in Washington, D.C.. and if the
demand is made strong enough, that the money be released
for use. we believe that a great point will be made by the
public of Nome in securing the completion of work begun
this spring on roads and roadwork in this district, as well
as in other sections
No one knows better than the business man what the
shutdown of road work and lapse of activities by tthe Alaska
Road Commission at Nome, will do to the city .There is
hardly a business man here who will not be loosing money
and receive ill effects of such a shutdown.
Therefore, in the interests of the public at large and the
business life of Nome, we bring the suggestion to a point, by
inquiring why it would not be possible for our Chamber of
Commerce to institute immediate and energetic efforts to
determine why the appropriation has been held up. and
when it can be released—at the earlist possible moment.

THE LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE
(Kansas City Star)
We read, and we know without reading, that the little
, one-room schoolhouse is passing out. In much of the coun
try there no longer is any excuse for it. Motor car transpor
tat ion and hard-surface roads have given impetus to the
consolidation of school districts and the construction of mod
ern buildings and modern equipment for one school, serving
what formerly had been several districts.
There is every good reason for it. In thousands of one
room schools, with one teacher attempting to supply educa
tion in all grades, attendance had dropped to a score, to a
dozen, and finally to two or even one pupil. Despite the
rudimentary building and the necessarily elementary teach
ing involved, it became an expensive as well as a deficient
method of education. The consolidated districts and the
consolidated schools employing several teachers, compar
able to the schools of the towns, were the natural solution.
Of course, someone will break out with a moan and a
tear for the passing of the “little red school house, but.
honestly now, does anyone recall having seen in the last
three decades a little red schoolhouse? Tradition spots the
cbuntrv with them. Possibly back in the dim. dark ages
there was somewhere a red school house and. in retrospect,
it was an enchanted place. Its primeval heating facilities,
its common drinking cup, its total lack of adequate sanita
tion. are forgotten. Its old desks, carved by jackknives in
the hands of unthinking pupils, are remembered.
All those more or less lovable qualities, viewed as a part
of that glorious past, were not confined to the red school
house. All we can recall were painted white and they,
also, had the most elementary conveniences and their desks
were thoroughly carved.
We shall have other wars,” says Gertrude Stein darkly.
Well history and Gertrude repeat themselves, they always
say.—Atlanta Constitution.

asters from “controlled” inflation.—Indianapolis Star.
The man who wants his city to grow and prosper should
buy at home.
He should do this because it is the right thing to do.
And if his motive is selfish, he should do the same thing.
His own prosperity depends upon that of the city. It
is tied up with that of the merchantts who offer to him pur
chasing opportunities. Good business for them means good
business for him. no matter what the occupation in which
he is engaged.
