THE CITY ATHLETIC MEET
The make-up of youth being for
.he most part energy, any medium
thru which it may find expression
and at the same time bestow a ben
efit merits encouragement- This
fac; has been recognized by the
greatest sociologists, who find in
athletics the greatest medium for
permitting youth to give vent to
the welling energies because they
inculcate the idea of skill, contest
and fair play.
Possibly no departure affecting
youth of this portion of Alaska is
doing more than the inter-city
contest such as basketball games
during the winter season. They
promote and cement the golden
friendships of youth which endure
thru life and are the bane of mis
anthrophy, which is often the pro
duct of lack of knowledge of the
cardinal virtues of one’s fellow- ;
man.
The field meet next Friday bv
the students of the Seward and ;
Jesse Lee schools is the first of the
sort ever to have been held here
out we hone it will not be the last.
Maf'-ve society owes altruistic;
obligations to youth that it may
emeree clothed in all that is em
blem'4 ^ of sterling manhood and
womanhood and keep active the
adhesive substances which bind
:he nation into brotherhood.
In patronizing the field meet
Friday an opnortunitv is given for
viewing the results of clean living
and many will be transported back 1
*o the golden days when we too.
were standing at the thn -hole of
life.
THE ALASKA COLLEGE
Within a few short davs the 1929
30 public school terms in the Terri
tory come to a close and it is time
to comment on what college the
graduate should attend lv'xt fall.
There can only be one answer to
'.hat to Ala‘-kans--to the Alaska
College!
A student of school affair should
mow that On: -->de mass education
is what you, child receives by rea
•»n o" th° f .ci th it it is irnposs ble
•or individual tuition where the
nrollment i< so tremendous. Not
- o at the A1 ask i Chl-oe
The Alaska Agricultural College
and S bool of Mines has a modes
at tendance: extr< melv so. yet it is
norm' iuu rich veer. I* offers
duo ••; w ( • a o"! hi own rather
than the wholesale. The faculty
of the Alaska College is carefully
-elected. The institution has not
*h magnificent and stately build
ings and well-groomed campus
found in the States but in its plain
serviceable buildings is found
equipment which compares favor
ably with that available to students
m the larger universities; the in
dividual student has far more
equipment at his or her command
Lhan he couid find in a larger col
lege.
Alaska high school graduates are
asked to consider seriously the un
usual opportunities offered by our
College—a healthy vigorous insti
tution which is winning recognition
for the high type of collegiate
i work which it is offering.
Another excellent publicity stunt
f orSeward was shot full of holes
when, it is said, captains of the A.
S. S. Co., line voiced objections to
the plan of installing a loud-speak
er on the dock, with D. C. Brownell
at the “Mike” to welcome incoming
ships passengers.
