WHAT IF THE CZAR HAD KNOWN?
The Russian American Company, which, accord
ing to certain records, held undisputed sway over Alas
ka under the suffrage of the Czar of Russia, and which i
is said to have ruled the Territory with an iron rod
until it was purchased from the United States govern-1
ment in 1807, used every effort, say chroniclists, to pre- j
vent the Russian government from learning the value
of its possessions, reaping its harvest of furs and ivory
from the resources.
All search after minerals was prevented and all en
terprise in that direction stifled. Nothing was made pub
lic except such affairs connected with the fur trade
as the company saw fit. Thus, from the very beginning
until the acquisition of Alaska by the United States,
the Territory was practically a terra incognita.
What would the trend of history be had the Czar
known the real value of the resources of Alaska?
Don't be discouraged if your son is a moron. He
may be a great success in getting up intelligence tests.
EDITOR SAID SOMETHING
An editorial was republished recently in Strollers
Weekly which hit us just right. Strollers made the fol
lowing comment: “Our old, tided and true friend, Bob
Montgomery of the Puyallup, Wash., Valley Tribune,
has the happy faculty of saying something every time
his mind tunes in with his typewriter. Witness the fol
lowing:
There are in the business life of every community men wholly
barren both of civic heart and of public spirit- Without vision or
community consciousness, they have no interest in any enterprise, in
stitution or purpose that does not, in some direct way, make a con
tribution to their individual business. Their conception of community
progress and of community destiny is something that can be got into
a gullet, or conveyed instanter to their own particular maws. The
value of such men in the civic and business life of this—or of any
other—community is analogous to the value of a parasite in the
blood stream of a human being.

ROME, Jan., 8, (/P)—The fascist
government has under considera
ion the most extensive system of !
raining boys and young men for
ndustry that the world has yet
seen.
It embraces the American system
>f vocational training but goes be
yond it by applying it compulsorily
,o every boy in the kingdom.
It would do away with the young j
nan who goes out for a job and re- j
plies to the qusetion “Well, what j
’,an you do?” by saying:
“I can do anything. At least I cai*
earn.”
This educational project is the I
work of Luigi Maggi, an expert in !
industrial pedagogics. Signor Mag- ;
gi, names his project the “trade j
diploma” because around it revolv- |
?s the whole system. Without a j
trade diploma, a young man could j
get a job in certain industries only
as a day laborer.
