SCHOOL NOTES
(Continued from Page Three)
Remembering the excellent address
upon the life of Washington with
which the Rev. Mr. Shriver favored
us last year, we had looked forward
to a talk upon the life of Lincoln by
the same speaker, and regret that he
was unable to be with us.
* Lincoln
One fire was in his spirit, one resolve—
To send the keen axe to the root of
wrong,
Clearing a free way for the feet of
r God.
And evermore he burned to do his
deed
With the fine stroke and gesture of a
king:
He built the rail-pile as he built the
state,
Pouring his splendid strength through
every blow,
The conscience of him testing every
"t stroke,
To make his deed the measure of a
man. —Markham.
“A great man is a promontory into
infinity.”
The hope of America lies in the
prompt Americanization of the youth
of the land. Can it be done—with the
children of foreign-born parents run
ning into the millions? Yes, it can
and it must. Americanization means
* loyalty to home as well as to country.
As teachers it is our high privilege
to help in this great work. Are we
not putting into the hands of our
young people a dangerous weapon in
giving them a scholastic education un
less we at the same time impress in
delibly upon their minds that it is- to
§p used only for the glory of God and
country?
As you toil from the dawn of the
morning
Until the set of the sun,
Do you see that your work is always
Well and carefully done?
It may seem that no one is watching,
That the details you well may slight,
But somebody’s taking your measure—
Are you doing your work just right?
“The thoughtless, careless mother
who does not manage happily with two
children expects the teacher to be
perfectly expert with forty. The busy
father who does not keep in touch with
one son expects the schoolmaster
to direct and inspire fifty boys. Why,
yes, that is the school’s business.
Tes, it is the school’s business, and it
is the parent’s business, too, and it is
the good citizen’s business. It is all
our business together.”

two pieces of cloth, one white and
the other black, and put them out in

Keep in mind that a tag sale is
coming soon, when you will be asked
to have a heart—at two bits per—
for the school library.
Anna Thortensen of Ellamar was
enrolled in the eighth grade this
week.
High School English classes have j
been asked to compare the character
of Abraham Lincoln with that of
George Washington. Some time ago
we debated the question: “Every
great man is largely the product of
his age.”
The advanced class in history have
spent the latter part of the week in
memorizing the complete line of Plan
tagenet kings and the houses of York
and Lancaster.
Each room received a valentine in
the form of a handsome framed pic
ture. Rooms 1 and 2 each has a
Madonna; Room .3, a copy of “Sir
Galahad,” and the High School, “The
Dance of the Nymphs.”

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
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 are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY'
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and. we will
ship to apy place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
