NEW OFFICER IN CHARGE
The injection of personality into the Signal Corps,
U. S. Army, has been productive of bringing the
general public to greater appreciation of this very
necessary adjunct to daily business and personal ac
tivities.
Lieut. T. T. Teague, who yesterday succeeded as of
ficer in charge to the Seward branch of the Army,
comes well equipped. A graduate from the ranks of the
old, regular Army, Lieutenant Teague has a techni
cal background of many years. Aside from his formal
duties and like other members of the service, Lieut.
Teague is prepared to become a part and parcel of the
social life of the community.
Seward welcomes Lieutenant Teague and again
extolls the service and its untiring energies and efforts
to please which has brought about the respect the peo
ple of Alaska hold for each and every member of the
Signal Corps, U. S. Army.
THE CHILDREN’S VOICE
An educational armament is the most powerful on
earth. Our long-range guns are school houses; our
strategists are school teachers. Our enemy is ignor
ance—the arch-enemy of mankind; the blight which!
fills the prisons and enslaves the individual.
Seward’s new school house is the product of the
new age, born of the new era, post-dating the period
when regiments marched against the frontier to sub
due the primitive folk who peopled it. What changes |
have come! The roar of musketry is smothered be
neath the chime of the bell calling the new army into
action wherein all march shoulder to shoulder against
the common enemy.

In the advancement of this cause Seward school:
children have been calling on the local public during the
past few days seeking subscriptions and advertise
ments for “Seward’s Folly,” the monthly school paper
which, for the past two years, has won the honor and
distinction of being the best school paper published of
all United States territorial schools.
It is the .hope and ambition of Seward school chil
dren to win Ihe Columbia University trophy for the
third consecutive year. The school paper has attained a
remarkable national and territorial reputation. Much
more so than the majority of the home-folks realize.
But the response this year to solicitation has been
so negative that fear is expressed a sufficient monthly j
income to cover the small cost of printing, will not be j
available. The children and students do not wish to j
lose the prestige they * have gained through close appli- j
cation to this branch of their education.
The cost of a subscription is very small; as are
also the advertisements; won’t you heed this appeal in
behalf of the children?
He confesses, repudiates confessions, and repu- j
diations so much that it’s hard to tell just what Gaston j
B. Means.
