SCHOOL NOTES
I believe in my job. It may not
be a very important job but it is
mine. Furthermore, it is God’s job
for me, if I am honestly trying to do
His will. He has a purpose in my
life with reference to this plan for
the world’s progress. No other per
son can take my place. I can take
no other man’s place. He has the
same claim as a specialist as I make
for myself. Yes I believe in my job.
May I be kept true to the task which
lies before me—true to myself and
to God who intrusted me with it.
I believe in my fellow-man. He may
n$>t#always agree with me. I’d feel
sorry for him if he did, because I
myself do not believe some of the
things that were absolutely sure in
, my own mind a dozen years ago. That
he may not agree always is of value
only as it can make the life of today
fuller and freer. There is no assur
ance of tomorrow. 1 must make good
today.—Rev. Charles Stelze, Sierra
News.
An Every Day Creed
We’re never tired of talking of the
glories of popular government, and
very few of us admit that we’re ever
tired of hearing about them, but what
definite thing do we do to keep alive
that little spirit of democracy which
is native in the heart of every Ameri
can girl and boy? What do we do to
feed it and tend it and water it?
America depends for its life, its lib
erty, its happiness on a wide-awake
and conscientious citizenship but
what do we ever do to build up such
a citizenship? What do we do to bring
the individual sprig of democracy to
flower?—Herman Hagedorn in “You
are the Hope of the World.”
“Formation is better than reforma
tion. Prevention is better than cure.
Give me the child and the state may
have the man.”—Dr. William T. I
Harris.
Matters difficult of friendly adjust
ment, when taken up as specific or
personal instances, may be dealt with
as general problems in the Parent
Teacher meeting for full discussion,
with all points of view presented,
without offense to any and with bene
fit to all.
Pertinent Question
To every one not satisied with his
lot in life: What have you done to
better your condition besides “kick
ing?”
Have you inventoried yourself as
a worker this year? How did your
inventory compare with your inven
tory of a year ago? What do you think
the result would be if your profession
were to have you scientifically inven
toried? Would the final result show
you to be an asset, a liability, good
will or unearned increment? Inven
tories and self-surveys are fine things
and determining factors. All should
make one of each frequently.
“I would be friend of—
The foe, the friendless.
I would be giving and forget the gift,
I would51 be humble, for I know my
weakness;
I would look up, and laugh, and love
and lift.”
* Mothers, do you insist that your chil
drgn shall go straight to school from
home and come straight home from
schfcbl without stopping at anyone’s
house unless they have your express
permission. A word to the wise ought
to be sufficient.
Quite often there may be seen on
the school grounds a fine, large apple
which has had one or two bites taken
from it and has then been cast aside.
Do you caution your children against
wanton waste? Teachers may talk
“thrift’" with all their might, but they
can not hope to get lasting results
without parental co-operation. While
apples are expensive, the cost in
money is not to be compared to the
influence of the habit that is being
formed and the bad example to others.
The reckless waste of paper by the
average American school child would
shock a thrifty foreigner. A few
words are written, a mistake occurs,
tie paper is thrown into the waste
basket instead of being saved and
usifld for scratch paper. Sometimes
we are tempted to issue a certain
amount of paper and allow only that
much to be used in a given period of
time, but this plan has many disad
vantages. Beyond a doubt the teach
ers can accomplish more in their cam
paign for thrift if the parents will help
by teaching thrift at home, both by
precept and example.
NOTES BY PUPILS
_ i
(Elizabeth O’Loughlen)
The first one hundred drills in pen
¥
manship have been completed by the
high school and will be sent to A. N.
Palmer & Co. on the next boat.
Each Monday mornmg an algebra
period will be devoted to rapid calcu
lation. We have drills in addition,
subtraction, multiplication and divi
sion. working for accuracy first., know
ing speed will come laier.
Last week the advanced history
passed their monthly examination
with flying colors. One text book has
been completed, and another will fur
nish supplementary material.
Our opening exercise periods on
Mondays and Tuesdays will be spent
in reading and discussing topics in the
Current Events paper. On other
mornings we will sing patriotic songs
and recite patriotic selections which
,we are required to memorize.
Last week the English class was
given practice in writing business let
ters. A letter of application was an
swered, and Edna Thawley’s was se
lected as the best and mailed to the
applicant for a position in the school
next year. Another was written re
questing more information on the
equal month calendar, and this time
Margaret Foster’s letter was mailed.
Miss Keever has promised us more
work of this kind. In each case we
were given just the Imre facts and had
to compose our own letters.
Miss Wright’s class in general sci
ence is enjoying some interesting ex
periments. Hydrogen and chlorine
have been made. The pupils were
quite generous in allowing everyone
to smell the latter, and some are still
in a dazed condition.
William McGowan and Dorothy
Dooley-returned to school this week
after being absent for some time on
account of illness. Louise-and Eugene
Tibbs are still on the sick list.
(By Edna Thawley)
Miss Laura Bacon is a new student
in the commercial department.
The bookkeeping class has just two
months more of work to complete for
this term. This will be finished some
time before school is out, and it is
hoped that we may have the extra
time for our shorthand and typewrit
ing.
(By John Rosswog)
Those who miss words in spelling
have been having after-school sessions.
Miss White has decided that there is
such an improvement in spelling les
sons as a result that those who do
not do well in penmanship class will
be included hereafter.
(By Margaret Foster)
Shorthand pupils are studying
mainly from the Gregg Writer to in
crease speed.
When the statement was made that
in a sense shorthand is a “foreign lan
guage,” Brook Lamprey immediately
asked, “Who speaks it?”
(By Leona Churchill)
After a thorough review in frac
tions, an algebra test covering the
most difficult part of the book was
given the freshman class Thursday.
(By Katherine Boyce)
Tell me why—
Harry O’Neill insists upon pulling
the girls’ hair.
Leona Churchill is interested in the
manufacture of Ford cars.
Don Bollinger takes great delight in
snowballing the girls.
* All the girls are anxious for the
middle of April.
Margaret Foster doesn’t like to lead
the singing.
Someone doesn’t buy Elizabeth
O’Loughlen a little violin to practice
on during school hours. It’s hard on
the rulers.
(By Lawrence Graham)
Miss Keever has given the boys per
mission to play football in the play
house at certain times of the day.
Mornings and recesses the boys are
to leave the playhouse absolutely to
the girls. During the noon period, and
evenings after school till 4 o’clock,
the boys may play football in the play
house. After school the girls are to
go straight home and not bother the
boys who are playing football.
The sixth and seventh grades are
standing the eighth grade and high
school. Matthew O’Loughlen is cap
tain of the one team and John Ross
wog is captain of the other.
(By Matthew O’Loughlen)
Two “kick-off” teams have been or
ganized between Rooms 3 and 4.
Room 3 has two teams—the “crack”
six and the “scrub” six. “Kick-off”
is really football in its simplest form.
Each side takes turfis kicking off. If
the ball does not reach the enemy’s
side we reach up and try to kick it
there, while they try to kick it to our
side.

SABBATH AND
PATRIOTS
1
The Sabbath is a divine institution
established to refresh and restore
vigor to weary bodies.and health to
distressed souls. It is not to be used
for business purposes nor for a holi
day. The prosperity and the stability
of our nation, the present and the
eternal happiness of mankind depend
on our obedience to God’s fourth com
mandment, “Remember the Sabbath
day to keep it holy.” Our love of coun
try and our love of God should cause
us to think twice before we desecrate
the Sabbath day. Spend it with us at

TO THE
REPUBLICAN
VOTERS
WHAT I STAND FOR:
v
I am a candidate for National Com
mitteeman of the Republican party, to
be elected April 27, and I stand for
the following principles:
I am not a politician, and never ran
for office before. I belong to no po
litical machine or combine, and am
under obligations to no clique or fac
tion.
I am opposed to machine domina
tion in Alaska, and if you elect me I
will take my orders from the people
and nobody else.
While my home is in Anchorage,
where I received the unanimous in
; dorsement of the Anchorage Repub
; lican Club, composed of over one hun
dred and fifty members, I will work
for the entire Territory of Alaska
first, last and all the time.
If you elect me I will do my utmost
to see that each locality or division
shall name the officers of that locality
or division, and I will fight bitterly
the appointment of anyone outside of
Alaska to an Alaska office.
Alaska has been my home for 23
years, winter and summer, and I feel
sure I know what Alaska needs.
The time has come to put an end
to outside dictation in our affairs, and
I believe what Alaska needs is more
firesides and fewer carpetbaggers.
The only way to rid Alaska of ma
t chine politicians is to vote against
, them. People of Alaska, I am making
this fight for these principles, and I
] want your help. You deliver the votes
and I will deliver the goods.
