, SAVES MONEY
' . i
Cost of Education in Valdez is Re- j
duced by $1,000, While Efficiency j
is Maintained.
i
The school board of Valdez have
succeeded in saving the taxpayers of
the town $1,000 this year in the cost
of maintaining the schools, while at
the same time maintaining the effi
ciency of the department. The chil
dren of Valdez are able to secure a
four years high school course, and
this is the only coast town, except
ing Juneau, where a complete high
school education is possible.
The saving of $1,000 was accom
plished by dividing th« work of one
of the teachers among the three
teachers in the higher grades, and
the result has been found satisfac
tory. Formerly six teachers were
employed, while for the past year only
five’, have taught.
The school system of Valdez is one
of the best in Alaska and is equal
to that of Juneau, Fairbanks or Nome,
although all of the three named cit
ies have a larger population by two
to one.

The Valdez Commercial Associa
tion today received from Sidney Law
rence, the painter, the picture or
dered some time ago showing a
bird’s-eye view of the Prince William
Sound section, the Copper River
route and the Cook’s Inlet ports and
also the interior of Alaska. The
painting is a sure winner and as it
has been kept true to the govern
ment maps and surveys it show's the
great advantages offered the govern
ment to build from Valdez across to
the Tanana valley.
The painting will be sent east and
will be used by the friends of Val
dez to demonstrate to any doubting
Thomas connected with the adminis
11ration.

Since the nomination of William
A. Thomas as a candidate for mem
bership on the city council of Great
er Valdez the boom for the young
butcher has gained headway every
day and it now looks as if he would
be one of the leaders on the suc
cessful ticket.
All the makers of slates consider
him a strong drawing card and are
falling all over themselves to have
him on their respective tickets.
John Crawford, foreman of the
Crawfofd planing mill, has been drag
ged into the race and will run for
membership on the new council. He
has a strong backing among the la
boring men.

Comforting to the Eyes
EVENING is the most enjoyable
time for reading. The quiet
world allov. s you to see more
clearly the scenes, and to feel more
deeply the emotions, portrayed by the
author’s words.
It is very essential, however, to have a good light, other
. wise the strained eyes tire the senses and rob the evening
reading of its keenest pleasure.
Electric light, which can be readily obtained in any inten-1
sity suitable for the eyes of either young or old, affords the
best reading light, and Edison Mazda Lamps furnish an
abundance of it at minimum "cojjst. ..
