MAJOR DONALDSON ASSUMES COMMAND:
With the return of the ’’Fornance” from Juneau on
Sunday last Fort Seward acquired a new Commanding Officer,-Maj•
George C.Donaldson,-who arrived from Ft.Liscum to take over the
local po9t.lhe new C.O.cones to us with a splendid record of
efficient administration at hie old post,and we look to see him
accomplish great things here at Fort Seward.Of course,if we were
n’t so modest,we’d say that he NOW had the right material to
work with.The fact is,however,that under Maj.Donaldson,Ft.Lis
cum was able to take the shooting and bowling championships of
Alaska from us last winter,and we’ll submit that that itself is
SOME recommendation for the Major’s ability#
The Fort Liscua Post Schools were models in their
line,-some ten or twelve godd trade courses being given,in addi
tion to the General Education course,-and similar schools^ are to
tbe established here.There’s no reason why every Ft.Seward sol
dier cannot qualify himself in a practical trade course during
the coming winter, so that at the end of his Alaskan service he
will be well fitted to rate as a specialist in some line of labor,
to the benefit of himself in his future Array career or in civilian
business life. Major Donaldson is solidly back of every movement
that will make for morale arid contentment here at Fort Seward, -
training,athletics, recreation,-and under his guidance the coming
year should certainly prove a banner one for the Post.
SHOOTING SCORES NEXT WEEK:
We had hoped to publish the record scores of the 3rd
Range class in this week’s issue,but the weather prevented the
finish of the firing. So we’ll give you the complete data next
week, and compare it with the high marks of the preceding classes.
