The school year just closed has
been a successful one in which ma
ny obstacles have been met and
many disadvantages overcome. Mrs.
W. T. Normile and A. J. Wendler
have acted in the capacity of school
directors with marked ability and
efficiency and the citizens of Anchor
age are grateful for their services,
which are appreciated.
The history of the Anchorage pub
lic schools is peculiar, as there were
no funds available from the territory
until March 15, 1916, following last
November, at which time the schools
opened. Miss Clark, as principal,
with the assistance of four teachers,
have handled their departments in a
remarkable manner and have given
almost universal satisfaction. Miss
Clark, especially has been identified
with every movement . towards the
school’s prograss and by her consist
ent work has aided materially in mak
ing the school year an avowed suc
cess.
The average enrollment was ap
proximately 90 scholars who received
tives to us and get
back the best pic
tures we can possi
bly make from
them. Our prices
are fair.
Our work is bettered
by the use of Ansco
Chemicals and Cyko
Paper, the photo ma
terials which always
give best results.

the best of instruction and were ex
ceptionally well disciplined.
The Parent-Teachers’ association
and the Woman’s club have both
worked faithfully for the benefit oi
of the schools and their work was of
such a nature to be lasting and has
been the means of creating added in
terest in every department of the
school work.
The present school building’ was se
cured through the influence and ef
forts of Chairman Wm. C. Edes and
Commissioner F. Mears and too much
credit cannot be given these gentle
men for their loyal support, and it
was through them that the money
was available to open the school.
Now that the primitive stage has
passed, the school is on a permanent
basis and moving along in a well-reg
ulated manner and further with Mrs.
E. S. Reedy, Dr. J. L. McBride direct
ing the organization as members of
the board the future of the public
schools of Anchorage is assured and
the parents and the people in general
may look forward to a splendidly con
ducted school for the years 1916-17.
It is the intention of the board to
recommend additions and take such
steps as are necessary to rearrange
the rooms, install heating and light
ing plants, paint the building and put
the building in a sanitary as well as
attractive condition.
The new board wilj hold its final
meeting to perfect plans for the com
ing school year and select the bal
ance of the teachers next Monday
night.
WASTING HIGHER WAGES.
The working classes in England are
receiving wages never dreamed of
before, but are spending the extra
money as fast as they receive it, says
“Leslie’s.” Boys who once were glad
to get $1.25 a week now receive $5.
Skilled furnace men get $50 to $60 a
week, steel smelters as much as $75.
Wome nwhose husbands have gone to
war in many instances get a separa
tion allowance greater than the hus
band’s wages had been. Or if a son
is at the front the separation allow
ance to the mother, added to the big
wages paid the husband at home puts
the family in the moneyed class.
Edith Sellers, writing in “The Nine
teenth Century,” deplores the fact
that war wages have led the people
into wildest extravagance.' Charlotte
Barrington tells of one factory where !
$150,000 was distributed as a bonus
among the men. When offered by the :
employers cash down or an invest- '
naent made for them in war loans and
all trouble saved them, but 200 pounds
out of the 30,000 was eventually sub
scribed.” The big wages are going
into gramophones, furniture of a
showy kind, jewelry, cinemas, music
halls and theatres, drink, tobacco,
sweets, toys. Much money goes into
entertaining.
A CHANCE FOR PRACTICE.
A coldblooded view of the war hos
pitals reveals the wonderful and oth
erwise unobtainable practice that
young surgeons, of whom many are
Americans, are obtaining, says “The
Indianapolis News.” The young fel
lows who are going into that profes
sion could not have chosen a better
class for their graduation than 1914
or 1915. Those employed in France
receive $42 a week and $3 a day ex
pense money.
