V. ho is foing to be the next gov
ernor of Alaska?
Will it be Sulzer? will It bo
Strong? will it be Riggs?
Each of them is qualified and
each of them hus doue splendid
work and all have a widespread
knowledge of the u itory.
We have a predominating belief
tuat Charles Sulzer might be able
to laud th> place In case he seri
ously wauted it, but Charles Sulzer
U already a mining engineer of a
bility. Through his management
ol the Sulier properties on Prince
\\ ales Island he has kept his mines
snipping ore without interruption
for seven c: eight years. For a long
time the Sulzer mine was the only
mine shipping copper ore in Alaska.
It is very probable that his salary
13 a mining expert is more than he
would ever realize from being gov
ernor of Alaska. lieeides min
ing is his chosen profession, and
should he accept the governorship It
would be a great loss to the more
uoble and useful profession of min
ing. There Is a little more of the
ephemeral tiling called popularity
attached t-j a governorship, but for
usefulness to the world and perma
nence of good, It would be just as
well that someone else accepted the
gov.rnorship. Mining men of Mr.
Sulzer's ability are hard to find,
while the past hus shown that It
does not require any great and
s upendous ability to be governor.
Thos. Riggs, Jr., is also a useful
citizen His work on the boundary
survey has been well done. He is
a surveying and civil engineer, well
known in Alaska and thorougly
familiar with her needs.
Major Strong Is a newspaper man,
id as sucb, political honors would
crown hlui with an aureate halo
most fitting. In the years gone
b.. he has told many governors how
to conduct their offices, and those
governors have prospered just so
lo.ig as they have followed his ad
monitions Shakespeare once said
that it is easier to show twenty men
the way to go than to be one to
ft. How your own showing. That
iuaj hold good with Editor Strong,
in ca.se he annexes the governorship,
with ill its griefs and unmerited
f ritieisms.
It may he that the three men
have about equal political pulls; In
sjfh case >t is probable tftat a dark
he. ;e will be chosen. There are
about twenty newspaper men in Al
aska and just about that many dark
_kow. /.
The number of vacant lots In
Skagwajr that y?ar after year pro
duce nothing but weeds or stones,
could t<* made to blossom as a rose
and at the same time produce veg
etables enough to feed the commu
nity and furnish a source of income
for children who are otherwise idle.
Right here is a chance to teach your
c'lilaren habits of industry that will
make them men and women of value
in the coming years. The city of
Minneapolis has solved the question
in a most effective manner, and
what they have done could be well
followed by Skagway or other cities
that are favorably situated for gar
dening.
We take the following from the
' st issue of the World's Work, aod
advise our fathers and mothers to
consider it in connection with the
rearing of fielr children.
The Garden Club of Minneapolis
t vo years ago began vacant-lot gar
dening. In 1911, the city gave the
first two weeks of July to a civic
ciebration of the linking of two
park lakes by a canal. Mr. L. J.
I.oughner. the president of the Gar
den Club ? which was then promot
1 ig school gardening ? asked for an
appropriation of $4?00 to decorate
the vacant lots The decoration
committee granted the money and
the Garden Club announced that
for $1 the club would obtain the
u$e of a vacant lot, plow and har
row it, give vegetable and flower
se??ds and plants for a family of
five, provide gardening instruction
and supervision through the season,
aud distribute prizes. for the best
gardens.
Alter a month's campaign. 302
applications for membership were
filed, and at the opening of the |
soasou sixty acres were under culti
vation. The crop was worth $12,
000.
The next year, 1912, members of
the Garden Club cultivated 150 acres
of land Id 1,283 vacant lots, and
raised vegetables that were worth
more than $60,000. Flowers were
planted at the front of every gar
den; the area thus used was more
tnan seven acres. The gardens
each cost only about a fifth as much
lit 1911.
The gardens were treated as a
civic and uot as a philanthropic en
terprise. Everybody who helped
was helping to beautify Minneapolis.
If, incidentally, he raised enough
vegetables to supply his family, that
was merely an earned reward for
helping the city. Rich men clalm
6u their reward just as eagerly as
poor men. However, nobody felt
that he was being patronized or
made au object of charity. As a
dollar for membership and another
dollar for tools were the only ex
penses, and as the average value
of the crop was $40, nobody was
too poor to Join.
Getting the consent of owners to
the use of lots has wrecked many
garden clubs. The Minneapolis club
doesn't get their consent: it just
tsikes the lets and goes ahead with
tiie gardens. Very few owners ob
ject, and most of them are quickly
~ctfuv. at the added beauty of
their lots is an advantage. Irre
concilable owners cost the Minneap
olis club just $26.40 in 1912.
One woman in Minneapolis induc
ed the families of seven boys in her
i?? 'ghborhood to apply for gardens,
ru 1912. she got sixteen boys to join
the club aud paid the fees herself.
Another woman in one of the bet
ter parts of the city invited Mr.
Boughner to meet some of her neigh
?>ors at a garden party in August,
1911. One of them was a Jew, one
a Norwegian, two Germans. None
of theni bad known any of the
others at the beginning of summer.
But when she began work la her
vacant-lot garden In the spriug, the
neighbor women came out to watch
her progress. A night or two later
their husbands joined the group. By
\ugust these ten people had be
come close friends.
The vacant-lot gardens of Mlnneap
oiis have kept many boys at home,
have aroused a new sociability in
many neighborhoods, have earned
many needed dollars, have made
many men and women healthier, and
have added much beauty to the city
streets. The cost has been insigni
ficant and the returns very great.
MISSION OF THE SCHOOL OF
TODAY.
We are beginning to under
stand that the responsibility of
the school relates not merely to a
girl's general cultivation nor ber
preparation for livelihood, but it
Is also concerned with ber train
ing for what we may call ber
major vocation, the rearing of
children and the maintenance of
fhe borne. While she may not
[ b? privileged to preside over a
"borne of her own," she may,
nevertheless, be called upon to
Indueuce the nurture and educa
tion of children and to be related
to the home In which she re
sides She must not, therefore,
be considered simply as the girt
to be educated or the worker to
be trained, but as the home
maker, to be so taught as to In
fluence in the most wholesome
fashion the coming generations.
At this point the state will even
tually recognize a minimum re
quirement. If the girl has been
so taugbt that she U likely to
be competent t0 assume the re
sponsibilities of wifehood and j
. motherhood and the various mi
nor cares Involved In home mak
ing. abe may safely be dismissed
from school after she has fulfill
ed the minimum Intellectual re
quirement?Sarah Louise Ar
