fc $ EDITORIAL AND COMMENT (^5
This is the beginningof the fourth
year of the Northern Light. We are
hoping to give yon a better paper
than ever before. We urgently re
quest that nil teachers consider this
“their paper’’and from time to time
se id hems of interest such as school
notes,legends etc.This will be neces
sary if the N.L. is to become a real
live, helpful sri/co!/a/>< >.
It takes more time,perhaps, than
yon are aware of to get o it each issue
of the piper even tho so small.
But we are willing to s uifice our
spare hours for the sake of having a
little link of fellowship among the
teachers and also between officials
and teachers. Cooperation in this,as
in other organized 1 odies, is i.eces
siry for accomplishing the most good
at i given expnenditure of energy
ac.d cash
Not only does it take time but du
ring the past three years we have
paid out upwards of $100.00in post
age in mailing the paper. A few of
the te idiers have forwarded the sub
scription price. But so few that we
have decided on the following plan
Firstjto make the price of the pa
per, to tachers, fitly unis per year
Sept.to June inclusive.
Second;it will he mailed to only
those who remit.
Third;the Sept.and Oct. numbers
will be m tiled to every school in Alas
ka as simple copies.This will give
most of the teachers a chancs to
meet the conditions with out missing
a number,however,if your subscrip,
tion is unavoidably delayed we will
mail all back numbers.
Hoping that this plan will make
it possible for more of us to get ac
quainted we are yours,with success
to you—lid.
