School Notes
It s coming. What? Why the an
nual tag day of the Cordova Public
School Library. You will be asked to
“have a heart”, gentle reader.
The various grades are working
upon the practice sheets of “Thomp
*son’s Minimum Essentials”. Some
day before long they will run a friend
ly race to see who has developed the
greatest speed and accuracy in arith
metic.
Hereafter, school credit will be giv
en for French and music work out of
school provided the pupil can bring a
statement of acceptable work done un
der an accredited teacher.
It is to be hoped that in another
year a regular schedule of points to
be given for various home acsivities
may be worked out, a certain number
^ Of pints equaling a credit. This will
not only encourage pupils to be more
painstaking In home tasks, but will
serve to weld school and home closer
together, one of our chief aims. Our
Parent-Teacher Association will sure
ly be of great help in this undertak
ing, as the parents will be able to
make many helpful suggestions.
At present seventy-three families
are sending one child or more to
school. Thirty-four of these sent a
representative to the first meeting
of the newly formed Parent-Teacher
Association. That was fine for a be
ginning, wasn’t it?
- Let us not stop until every family
at. least one member in the P. T. A.
and if possible both parents should
join. We hope we may have a Dad’s
night soon and give the fathers a
^hance to show their interest in the
school by joining in this work, as sev
eral of them have expressed a wish
to do so. *
Une of our charter members has
no child in school, but is vitally inter
ested in educational matters. There
may be others like this man and if
so, we shall be glad to have them
join us.
The next meeting will be held Fri
day, February 13, at 3:00 p. m. in the
high school room. Receipts will he
ready for those prepared to pay their
dues. Come and bring a friend who
i« Interested. Don’t stay at home be
cause you have small children too
young to be left alone. Bring them
along and some of the older girls
will be glad to care for them dur
ing the meeting.
Parents will confer a favor if they
will impress upon their children that
Unless they carry luncheon with them
they must report at home at noon.
Pupils often stay to play or go with
some other child to lunch without
letting the parent know. A little
after one oclock an anxious mother
phones the school to ask why John
nie or Mary has failed to report at
noon. Then the deliquent’s class has
to be disturbed from work while an
effort is made to find the trouble
with said Johnnie or Mary.
LINCOLN’S GLORY
*Tis splendid to live so grandly
That long after you are gone,
The things you did are remembered
And recounted under the sun;
To live so bravely and purely
That a nation stops on its way,
And once a year with banner and
drum
Keeps the thoughts of your natal day
‘Tis splendid to have a record
So white and free from stain
That held to the light it shows no
blot,
Though tested and tried again
That age to age forever
Repeats its story of love,
‘Til your birthday lives in a nation’s
heart
All other days above.
Yes, ‘Tis splendid to live so bravely
To be so great and strong
That your memory is ever tocsin
To rally the foes of wrong;
To live so proudly and purely
That the people pause on their
way,
And year by year with banner and
drum
Keep the thoughts of your natal
day."
FUNNY, BUT TRUE
(By Katherine Boyce)
A teacher once told her class to
write a statement showing that twelve
; minus eleven equals one. One boy
wrote: “If one horse has twelve legs,
| eleven horses will have one leg be
| cause twelve minus eleven equals
cne.”
I
Little Mary came into the school
room with a large key in her hand.
Teacher: “Mary, is that the key to
your house?”
Mary: “No ma’am, it’s the key to
our door.”
Miss White: “Why can’t you two
girls sit together and copy your his
tory?”
Almira McGowan: “Because we’re
both left-handed.”
'Miss White: “Well, can’t you sit so
both of your left hands are on the
outside?”

Notes by Elizabeth O’Loughlen
A new set in the jobbing furniture
business has been taken up by the
bookkeeping class. A number of new
points have been introduced with this
set, among which are the recording
memorandum for notes and acceptan
ces, and letters ordering goods. The
bookkeeping class has made a great
deal of progress in their work as the
semester is slightly half over and
they have almost completed the
book.
A quarter holiday was enjoyed by
the high school members on Monday
afternoon, the pupils having earned
eighty perfect attendance and punc
tuality stars.
The entire high school was taken
by surprise when Miss White played
four new Vivtrola records at uenman
ship period. Many of the girls have
a hard time confining their efforts to
penmanship when these snappy tunes
are being played. At last our plea
for new records has been answered
through the genorosity of Mr. Prank
Douglas who kindly donated a num
ber to the school.
Mr. Calvin Hazelet of the local
school board paid a visit to the dif
ferent grades on Monday morning.
The painting class under the super
vision of Miss Eddelbrock has been
doing some very creditable work in
class. Another set of posters being
made with colored mounting paper
on which appears the name of a
place, as “The Copper Gate of Alaska”,
or the names of one or more business
firms.
Both of the high school classes in
English have been dramatizing Julius
Caesar in the recitation periods, there
being so few of us and so many char
acters in the book. Any of the pupils
can be heard murmuring at different
times of the day, “Not that I love
Caesar less, but that I love Rome
more”. It seems to have made quite
an impression on our minds.
Miss Keever’s office has been im
proved by a new desk which is great
ly appreciated. It has numerous
pigeonholes, drawers and shelves.
For some time the English periods
of the grammar grades have been
spent in dictionary work, instead of
the usual reading in recitations.

Keeping physically fit is the firs
rule to be observed in keeping well
says the United States Public Health
service. Exercise is necessary to
health.
Too much sleep is almost as in
jurious as not getting quite enough,
says the United States Public Health
service. The average adult should '
sleep eight hours in every twenty
four.
One man in every three was re
jected by the draft boards for physical
disability. According to the United
States Health service, a great many
of these defects might have been elim
inated and probably will be in the
next generation.
Give your physician a chance to
keep you well before you call him
in to cure you, advises the United
States Public Health service. An
occassional thorough examination by
a competent physician will save you
money and prolong your life.
If you change your address, do not
notify the carrier boy—report your
new address to the office.

extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you arc
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and

If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire out'
id, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will:
ship to any place you designate. ’ .
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make V&
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
