ALASKA SCHOOL BULLETIN
itorial Educational Department
Tho “Alaska School Bulletin”
makes its initial bow with this issue.
It is hoped that the material herein
presented from month to month
will be helpful to the teachers. The
degree to which each one is bene
fited will depend to a great extent
upon the way in which tho teaching
force of the Territory generally re
spondsd to the opportunity which
this medium for an exchange of
ideas affords.
The aim of the Bulletin is three
fold: (1) a medium through which
the Territorial Educational Depart
ment may send communications to
the teachers and Boards of Educa
tion of the Territory.; (2) a means
by which national and foreign edu
.^jeational news may be disseminated
and special activities of the schools
in any state of the Union brought
to the attention of the Territorial
teaching force; (3) a clcaring-liouoo
in which special features of the
•work in any school of the Territor
may be brought to the attention of
the other schools for their Inspira
tion or guidance.
To the end that these objects
may be attained it is* essential that
teacher; and administrators gener
ally co-operate with this depart
ment to the extent of presenting
information concerning their work.
You are therefore asked to contri
bute any special feature which is
being worked out in your school.
Your stunt may not seem uncommon
or marvelous to you but it may
furnish just the suggestion neede
by some one else. Therefore sub
mit it. Suggestions as to the way
in which this bulletin may be made
more useful to you will be gladly
received.

FOREWORD
L. D. Henderson,
Commissioner of Education.
“CARRYING THE MESSAGE.”
There has never been a time in
the history of the United States
when it has been possible for the
educational agencies of the nation
to render such effective as today.
Attention ' has been called in the
several circulars which have been
issued from this department to a
few of the ways in which the schools
of Alaska may rise to their oppor
tunity. The whole round of service
which the teacher should render
in these times may, however, be
summed up in the expression, “car
rying the message.” A message of
service, a message of American
ideals, a message which can be read
in the life and conduct as well
as in the words which may be
uttered in the class room.
This message which it is the duty
of every teacher to carry must
extend into every part of the school
curriculum. Albert Surrant, Min
ister of Public Instruction for
France, in the early days of the
war issued the statement that “in
all the schools of the Republic
there is not a single teacher who
continues to live and move in the
same narrow paths, or teach the
same lessons in the same way—no
one who addresses to his pupils
in these decisive hours only the
customary words of yesterday.”
I
Would it not be well if a like
claim could be made for the teach
ers of Alaska? The “customary
words of yesterday” are perhaps
the easiest to utter but in these
times their sound is hollow. Those
who "earry the message” to the
school children of Alaska must carry
a true message. This fact requires
more labor from each individual
teacher and well illustrates the
truth that under the system of
education which is in UBe in the
United States, the teacher is the
important, vital element. Material
equipment and other equations
which are commonly considered in
a study of the condition of a local
system of schools sink into practi
cal insignificance before th9 weight
of influence which is thrown into
ths balance by the teacher. Today
as never before there is need for
teachers of untiring devotion and
zeal to whom America represents
in truth the crowning achievement
of the ages; who love America for
what she is and for wnat she is
destined to become; who see In
an educated moral democracy the
only salvation of the vexing world
problems of the ages; and who be-;
lieve that only in a free public
school system can the proper ideals
of good citizenship and world citi
zenship be instilled and a dem
ocracy be created which will be
safe for the world.
PATRIOTIC SERVICE
This office has received a com
munication from National Educa
tion Associaton Headquarters which
calls attention to the fact that dur
ing the great period of stress
through which we are now passing
educators should see to it that
schools are not exploited. Many
patriotic organizations are springing
up all over the country. Each in
turn demanding service from the
schools. Some are pdroperly organ
ized for service and have legitimate
ends while others have not. Of the
latter class, the Army and Navy
Bazaar, with headquarters at New
York City, will serve as an example.
A recent investigation in the New
York Courts revealed this fact. The
gross receipts of the Bazaar were
$71,475.93 and the net amount used
to furnish “comfort kits” to the
soldiers at the front was $754.96.
Most of the money received was
paid out to high salaried officials
and for other expenses.
I
Teachers and school children are
patriotic. However, it is well to
know that patriotic endeavor serves
a legitimate end before exercising
it. Much is being demanded and
will be demanded from the schools.
There are three government approv
ed, legitimate, non-sectarian organ
izations which the schools should
serve to their utmost capacity.
They are the American Red Cross,
the Food Administration, and the
Y. M. C. A. There are no doubt
other meritorious organizations but
in many instances they simply dup
licate the work of one of the three
t named. At the present time if the
schools of Alaska serve woll these
organizations, they will be under
taking everything that they can
well accomplish. From time to time
“Liberty Loan” issues will be before
tho people of this Territory and
on those occasions the schools can
and should render every assistance
possible.
