Confidence and Over-Confi 16nce
Confidence is a wonderful
thing. It enables man to carry
through many a seemingly hope
less task. But what a wo§ful thi
ng, by contrast, is Over Confide
nee.
This was impressed on our
mind by the ending of the penn
ant race in the American League
of the present baseball season.
The New York “Yanks” hsd
built up a machine that was un
beatable. The power of money
procured for Milier Huggins a
combination of players that for
three years set themselves at the
top of the league and stayed the
ye.
But just when there seemed
to de not a cloud on the horizon
along come the Washington Sena
tors fullot Confdence;fought the
great machihe to a standstill; and
ended at the top of the league.
Verily, pride goelh before a fall.

A PROCLAMATION
The week of November Seventeenth to
Twenty-Third, this year of our Lord,
Nineteen hundred and twenty-four, has
been set apart as NATIONAL EDUCA
TION WEEK when the Nation, through
its citizenry, will concentrate its atten
tion upon the schools and dedicate its
self anew to the great task of universal
education. In upholding the principal
of self-government by a free people
klowledge is an inescapable prerequisite.
Children of today are citizens df to
morrow. Education is essential to the
discharge ol the duties, responsibilities
and obligations of citizenship.
Citizenship that would be useful and
true to American ideals and devoted to
the Repudlic, must bean enlightened
citizenship. Home-duilding, character
building, community-building. Nation
building, are founded in citizenship anb
have their dasis in the school.
Alaska, a country of homes and chil
dren bravely working out its destiny,
alert to the meaning and worth of ciii
zenship, ever watchful and generous in
providing for its educational needs,
takes just pride in its schools, which
are contributing so largely to the pro
gress and permanent upbuilding u! the i
Territory.
THEREFORR. I, Scott C. Bone. Gover
nor of Alaska, earnestly urge and enjoin
all citizens of Alaska to give heed to
NATlONALEDUCATiON WEEK
dv joining in its observance and giving
helpful aid and reognition to the work of
the schools. Thus wrll appreciation be
shown and citizenshipai its best, prom- 1
otive of the Territory's welfare, be made j
manifest.
