NO PLACE IN THE PICTURE
They protect eagles because for some obscure rea
son the eagle was selected as our national bird. If there
ever was a bigger pirate of the air than the eagle we do
not know what it was or is, unless it be the far-flung
conder of South America. We’ll have to give it to the
eagle. He’s not so much scavanger as the condor.
But the eagle kills and keeps on killing because
that’s the only thing he knows. To kill everything in his
domain whether it be fox, lambs, fish or young cattle..
It is idle to discuss whether or not the eagle and the
bear will reign supreme in the North. If the country is
to be given over to homesteaders then the eagle and
bear must go. If the country is to be given to pioneers
who wish to establish homesteads, then, the eagle and
the bear shall have no place in the picture.
Shades of Barbara Fritchie: ‘‘Breathes there a man
with soul so dead, who never to himself has said,”
T think I’ll be a candidate.”
It is said that Eskimos enjoy having their
teeth pulled. Also, a good many Americans seem to en
joy having their legs pulled.
A meeting was held July 25 by
the board consisting of the Gov
ernor. Territorial Auditor, and the
Commissioner of Education, re
ports.’L. W. Breuer, the latter, at j
present in Seward, at which meet- j
ing they discussed the system in j
general and drew up forms that ■
wi’I be used by teachers of the j
Territory in connection with the !
pension.
The board plans to meet once j
every quarter in the early part!
of the month to t dk over business j
for the following Quarter. To ;
qualify for pension a teacher must j
have taught 25 years, 15 years of j
which must have been in the Ter
ritorial schools of Alaska.
She must also be 55 years of
age be fore she may apply. No one
may teach after the age of 65;
after that age they retire on pen
sion which is ample for certain
advantages. Out of 254 teachers
only 23 have so far applied for
pension in the Territory. The
amount of the pension payable is |
$300 annually. Each teacher must
pay into the fund 1 per cent of j
her salary each year she teaches. j
The pension becomes effective
September 1 of this year.
