The decision recently made by 'he r
Alaska Steamship Company to place f
vessels on the run from Prince Ru-;
pert serving Alaskan towns will knock <
the props out of the attorney general’s
office, unless he is sincere in his ef
forts to provide transportation tor f
American freight coming over the
Grand Trunk railway, destined for
Alaska towns, removing the objections
to the Jones bill, which provides that
freight originating in American terri
tory must be carried in American bot
toms. The principal objection of
eontheastern Alaskans to the Jones
bill was that it prevented them from
shipping freight from the Past over
the railroad to Prince Rupert, because
such freight could not be carried in
foreign vessels, and no American ves
sels plied from this porl.
It now remains to bn seen whether
the attorney general’s real tight is
not so much to benefit the shippers as
to harass the American steamship
companies. If he is sincere he wil' ad-|
mit that 'he shippers are better off in
transporting their freight in Ameri-)
can bottoms and will devote his ef-,
forts to building lip American lines.
A determined effort to lower exlstilng
freiehf rates would look better than
trying to run off existing lines.
THE NATION’S DEBT TO THE
TEACHER
Thf »pacher is the gu’de of our na
tion. Her hand is the first influence
in the moulding; of a citizen. She
trains the child to be the future law
maker of the State. Without the
teacher there would be little likelihood
of our nation prospering, for without
education no one can succeed. And if
individuals cannot succeed, what hope
is there ror a nation? The nation
owes its success to the teacher, but
•this is not the extent of its debt, 't
owes the teacher better pay, better
equipment with which to teach. For
the success of our nation we should
all unite to secure bettei pay and bet-j
ter equipment for our teachers.

♦■NO ILLITERACY BY 1927;
IT CAN BE DONE,” IS SLOGAN;
Thursday, November 22, is ‘‘Illiter
acy Dav.’t in the Educational Week
drive by the local post of the Ameri
can Legion.
Among the points enumerated by
the Legion to make a better citizenry
are:
1. Illiteracy—a menace to our na
tion.
2. An American’s duty toward the
the uneducated.
3. Let every citizen teach one il
literate.
4. No immigration until illiterary
among native and foreign born
is removed.
‘‘Visit the schools tomorrow,” and
encourage the teachers by your pres
ence.
A PLEA FOR TEACHERS
"Without vision the people perish.”;
Without education there can be little
vision. Of education it may be said
that ‘‘It is twice blest; it blesseth him
that v v s and him that takes.” It
will be greatly worth the effort if we
can impress this though upon the
you . manhood of the Nation and re
direct their interest and patriotic
ze. '') the idea of making a proper
con; huiion to educational work. It is
re .<le that so few young men and
women, equipped for such service, are
nowadays disposed to give their time
and talents to teaching. Education
needs their young eagerness, zeal and
enthusiasm.
There is no school of discipline more
effective than that in which the teach
er goes to school. We could do no
greater service than by convincing
those young men and women who have
enjoyed educational opportunities that
they owe a reasonable share of their
time and e” gies to teaching.
The v and security of the Na
tion st in the intelligent
bod. le. Our education
should onceptions of public!
duty a .vate obligations broad
enough • “> visage the problems of a
greatly naught world. More than
anything use, men and women need
the capacity to see with clear eye and
to contemplate with of>en, unpreju- j
i.-od mind <he issues of these times. |
inly through a properly motivated!
: J generously inspired process ofj
ducation can this be accomplished.
