Did You?
Did you ever see or know of a
dressmaker making a success of her
business without a sewing machine?
Did you ever see a pupil learn steno
graphy without a typewriter? Did you
ever see a merchant make a success
ul his business v»ii.hout a huiuc fu*
that business.
Well, then, how do you expect to
make a success of a school without
proper buildings or equipment for that
school ?
Pupils don’t get the right opportuni
ties in a school where they are al
ways crowded for room. It is not
fair to them nor to you who are sup
porting the school. Neither you nor
they are getting the benefit of the
money spent.
Moreover, a good school is an im
portant factor in a community, for
more important than most people
think. In settling in a community, a
man with a family always asks, “What
kind of a school have they? A good
school brings families.. The increase
in the population brings more money
to the town and in this way would
help to pay the expense of the better
school. In the fact that a good school
would keep pupils in the town, who
might otherwise go to some other
town, we find another cause for desir
ing a new school.
Athletics is only a part of regular '
school life so in asking for new ‘
school buildings we are also asking
for a gym. This is an important
branch of education as any other and
should receive proper attention. We ,
can’t have good athletes without a
place to have them practic in.
Think it over and you will find that
Seward has every need and right to
ask for a new school building and
gym.

■DOES U. S. EDUCATION
LOWER BIRTH RATE?!
CHICAGO, Jan. 8.—Families of
mine laborers, gravel-pit workers
and panitors in the United States
are increasing twice as fast as those
of preachers and teachers, accord
ing to Frank E. Hand, supreme
vice-chief ranger of the Independ
ent Order of Foresters, in an ad
dress here.
“A recent investigation of 929
typical families showed that people
of high education had an alarmingly
low birth rate,” said Mr. Hand, who
is director of the society’s orphan
age at Oakville, Ontario. ‘‘It was
found that janitors and sextons,
miners and quarry workers had an
average of 3.6 children per family.
Miisters, teachers and stenograph
ers average 1.8 children per family.”

TOWER GAZERS GET OLD
BROADWAY IN TRAFFIC JAM
ALL THE SAMEE PORTLAND
NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—A little group
of office workers idling away their
luncheon hour on lower Broadway
halted and pointed to the tall tower
of the Woolworth Building, fifty-two
stories above the sidewalk.
They discussed the recent announce
ment that Cass Gilbert, architect of
the building, would make tests in
the first gale to ascertain whether
the tower swayed in the wind.
The group pointing upward was
ough to start a luncheon hour traf
fic jam in Broadway. Everybody
stopped and tried to discover a plumb
line said to be hanging from the tow
er. There was none. Police res
erves had to be called to keep the
spectators moving.

MIRRORS TEACH FAIR
ONES SAFETY LESSON
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8—Chewing
gum slot machines, weighing devices
and show windows now act as side
walk boudiors for the lair sex and
soon trolleys may be equipped with
mirrors too.
It may seem a far-fetched idea to
involve thepowedring of one’s nose
with the correct method of alight
ing from a street car, but it’s being
done in Berlin and accidents have
been cut down to a remarkable de
gree, according to the Pennsylvania
public service information commit
tee.
Accident suits began to pile up on
a Berlin street car company be
cause many men and women did
ot know how to alight from trol
leys. An erudite German student
of psychology hit upon the mirror
idea. Mirrors were installed at car
exits in such a position that pas
sengers had to face forward to see
themselves, as they prepared to
leave. As a result of their vanity
they alighted correctly.
Wm. Irwin, local manager of the
local Standard Oil company’s plant,
is spending the w^eek in Anchorage on
business connected with his com
pany. Mr. Erwin will leave shortly on
a trip to the States where he will visit
with his mother.
