Something unique in the edu
cational field is being done in
the high school at Federalsburg,
Maryland, according to the Fed
eralsburg Times. (The Times
editor visited Seward last June
with the NEA group.)
A five room bungalow, 24 by
28 feet, is being constructed by
boys of the 10th, 11th and 12th
grade Industrial Arts classes.
Commercial students are receiv
ing constructive training in
handling the business end of the
project. They handle the time
and building costs, make out
simulated pay checks and follow
through from beginning to end
the cost of building, even in
cluding tax and social security
deductions.
This actual on-the-job work
ing experience the children are
receiving will do more for many
of them than years of book work
in preparing for a place in life.
For tiiose who will not be able,
or are not qualified to continue
their education in college, ex
perience in various building
skills may guide them into fields
they would not have thought of
otherwise.
Materials for the little cot
tage are being supplied by the
local lumber dealer. The com
pleted house is to be moved off
the school ^rounds and prob
ably sold. The Industrial Arts
instructor believes the house
will be completed by the end of
the school term next June. Be
sides the carpentry, the 50 boys
will work on masonry, electrical
wiring and plumbing and dec
orating.
If such a practical educational
project could be arranged even
on a small, r scale for our own
schools, how much it would
mean to the majority of chil
dren! The construction trades
will occupy the attention of 50
per cent of high school boys for
the next few years. They could
be better prepared than they
are now under the present edu
cational system in Alaska.
Maryland's school system does
not provide for the expenditure
of the Federalsburg project. It
is being undertaken by the local
school board and privately in
terested parties. IT WOULD
NOT BE IMPOSSIBLE here!
Many of the school boys are
interested in boat building and
machinery. Let’s give them a
chance. It’s another something
to think about.
Mr. and Mrs. Merrill Coon,
now living at Kodiak, were Sew
ard visitors today. Mr. Coon was
formerly employed at Standard
Oil here.

Editorial
The wise farmer not only
takes from his soil by harvest
ing his crop each year, lie also
puts something back, just as
regularly as he takes, in order
to be sure of a good crop next
year.
A wise government recognizes
Hi is as a necessary expense in
computing a farmer’s income
tax—just as the government
allows all reasonable advertis
ing expense in figuring a busi
ness man’s income.
Shrewd advertising, publicity,
and promotion prepare the soil
for bigger and better business
harvests, aiding not only in the
growth of the individual enter
prise, but in the development of
the city and region as well.
Yet here in Seward, only
about half of the business firms
make systematic use of our own
instruments for development:
the local newspaper and radio
station. About the same percent
age—approximately one-half—
of these same business firms
participate in the activities of
the Seward Chamber of Com
merce.
