MUSSOLINI'S NEW SCHEME
Angered at being shot in the nose, Mr. Mussolini will
ow give one of his unique demonstrations which makes |
im one of the most interesting figures in modern history.
»y May 1 all Italian communities of fewer than 5,000 pop
lation, some 7300 in number, will find themselves in the
•aim of Mr. Mussolini’s strong right hand. No mayors,]
ouncils, local campaigns or other impedimenta, but muni
ipal government by a “podesta,” appointed by Mussolini,
hire bossism percolating. Charmed by the effects of
•ossism of the general government, Mr. Mussolini has, ev
dently, reached the decision that success in any nation,
ommunity, business or family finally depends upon hav
ng a definite, authorized boss. Naturally enough, the
eader will observe that the wisdom of Mr. Mussolini’s pol
cy of government is yet to be fully demonstrated. “Sure
he proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof and you
observe that more Italians are now eating than any other
European people who had a hand in that war,” observes
fr. Mussolini, as he serves another dishful of bossism pud
ling.
MOVIES IN OUR SCHOOLS
Considerable progress is reported in connection with
he introduction of moving pictures in the Seward public
ichools, where the department pi “visual instruction” is
gradually installing a definite system.
Pictures are now being employed in such subjects as
geography, civics, science, biology, history, nature study,
md hygiene. A short talk on the lesson is first given, af
er which the appropriate picture is shown, this being fol
owed by further study of the textbook. This method is
>aid to be meeting with marked success, through stimu
ating the interest of pupils and giving them a more prac
;ical understanding of the subjects taught. The eauCh
;ional value of good moving pictures can hardly be ovei>
estimated, and this applies to adults as well as to school
children. In many subjects a moving picture can con
vey more information in a minute than could be gained in
lours of poring over a dry text-book. No doubt the next
:ew years will see the wide employment of visual instruc
;ion in schools everywhere in Alaska.

FIVE-POUND BOY" ARRIVES
AT HOME OF PROTZMAN’S
An assistant postal employe arriv
ed in Seward at 7:20 last evening,
when there was born to Mr. and Mrs.
Gerald Protzman, a dandy five-pound
boy. Dr. J. A. Baughman was the at
tending physician. It is announced

ly.
Mr. Pi’otzma and “Grandpap” Chas.

nothing of the arrival of the son and
heir until within a block of their
home. Mr. Protzman had not shown
up with the cigars up until a late
hour this afternoon, but, Mr-. Sheldon,
wearing a wide grandfatherly grin,
sad he Avould undoubtedly show up
soon. “Personaly,” he said, “I do not

FOUR LOCHL EIRS COMPETE
IT LIBERTY, CHIPLESTON
The Misses Cecil Leslie, Sigricl Ros
ness, Kathryn Neville and Elsa Larr
sen danced their way into the lime
light last night during the Charleston
contest at the Liberty theater. The
amateur contest, the first of a series
of three, was hotly contested by the !
pupils of Miss Cuba Wheatly, which
ended all too soon. The Gateway
has heard much comment on the
dauces, who should claim to have the
most grace and charm, but as we are
not the best of judges on such mat
ters the Gateway is passing comment
up at the present time in the hopes
that the girls who are endeavoring to
make the grade will step lively and
make it one of still greater interest.
That the local girls made a big hit
was acclaimed by the applause which i
greeted the conclusion of their dances, j
Tonight, it is planned to have the re- j
mainder of Miss Wheatley’s pupils per- j
form and tomorrow night, last night’s j
winners will be pitted against the
winners of tonight. Three cash priz
es will be the awards to the success
ful contestants. The public, missing
these performances, are losing a lot
of real entertainment.
