PIONEERS PUBLISH MAGAZINE
Alaska has a new monthly maga
zine, The Pathfinder, which, com
mencing with the November issue, is
to be devoted to the interests of the
Pioneers of Alaska.
“The purpose of this magazine,”
states an editorial in the first issue,
“is to collect material for a history of
Alaska. The history of any country is
a compilation of the incidents of the
lives of the men who have lived in
and, to some extent, developed that
country. So the trials, travels, tribu
lations and triumphs of the early set
tlers in Alaska tell the tale, or, in
, other words, write the history, of
Alaska. History is nothing more than
the tales of those who lived in that
day written in a book. Civilized men
write these tales and it is called his
tory. Uncivilized men tell it to their
children, and it is called tradition. The
written history of the Alaska native
is ‘pictured on his totem pole.’ He
has no other way to hand it down of
record. Every character on a totem
pole is an illustration of the life of
man or tribe of men. So the tiue
historian is a totem pole carver, or, in
other words, one who preserves for
future generations the incidents of the
lives of those who lived in the past,
so here follow the incidents of the
lives 6f some of the early settlers in
Alaska.”
One of the future niftnbers of The
Pathfinder will be published in Ketchi
kan. ‘.‘It will be the policy of the
publisher,” we are told, “to have each
igloo assist in the publication of its
own special number, and the secre
taries and historians of the several
igloos should begin now to gather data
concerning their town and its early
settlers. Your number of The Path
finder will be published in your home
town, the same as this number is of
Anchorage.”
As indicated in the foregoing, each
number of the publication is to be a
special number devoted to the town in
which it is published. The greater
part of the first number is devoted to
a series of sketches of the lives of the
members of Anchorage Igloo No. 15.

As yet we have not seen anyone
giving away personal ‘effects that

fatal January. 1 on account of the
world’s end that is to come Dec. 17.—

The quality of the weekly “School
Notes” which the Cordova and Ketchi
kan schools are preparing for the use
of the local newspapers is so superior
that other schools which contribute
similar notes to their home papers
would do well to ask for an exchange
of papers in*order that they may ob
tain suggestions that will enable them
to present their work to the public in
a more effective way. The school is
the most important public enterprise
in any Alaska community. For that
reason the public should be continu
ally well informed as to its work. A
live page of school notes weekly will
accomplish this purpose better than
any other agency. It pays to adver
tise your school. Taxpayers will cheer
fully support an institution if they
are convinced that it is producing re
sults.—Alaska School Bulletin.
