WE NEED A HIGH SCHOOL
Some weeks Ago Lester Hender
son, Supt- of Education for Alaska
▼isited Seward and talked to the peo
ple of Seward and told them that he
was in a pQsition to help ^heni ma
terially in securing for Sewar a full
grade High SchooL
Since the time Mr. Henderson made
this statement not one single effort
has been made by the people of Sew
nrd toward making a full grade High
School a reality. Every father and
mother in Seward and every real cit
izen who wants to see Seward take
ijs rightful place among the live,
progressive towns of the Territory
must realize what a full grade High
School means. They cannot help but
v.e the need of such an institution anc.
wha. U*e establishment of it would do.
Yet seeing and feeling the real need
for such an institution they have fail
ed to take one step toward making it
a certainity in the near future.
The town Qf Seward has among its
population a particularly fine lot of
children. At the present time the ma
jority of these children average ab^ut
twelve years of age. The grammar
grades of the Seward school have the
largest attendance. These children
who are attending the grammar
grades will in a few short years be
ready to attend high school. If we do
not exert ourselves and get a high
School here this year these children
who are now attending the grammar
grades will be obliged to do as many
many of their older brothers and sist
ers have been compelled to do, either
go outside to finish their education o:
stop going to school at a time wher
their minds are just commencing to
properly develop. A great many of
these children will not continue then
education or stop going to schoo atl r
time when their minds are just com
mencing to properly develop. A great
many of these children will not con
tinue their education because fcheii
parents are not financially able to
send them out. The lack of a high
school in Seward is a crime against
the younger generation, a crime that
is charged to every father and mother
and very real citizen of the town. It is
a crime for which £he people cannot
be punished by the law, but morally
the punishment for neglecting this
vital issue will be ten fold, particular
ly so for the fathers and mothers of
the children of Seward who are con
tent £o see their children take their
place in the world only half equipped
for the battle of life, because they
have been deprived of an education
that would enable them to cope with
those who have. Why le£ this matter
of a high school drag along in an un
certain manner. Why wait for George
t * do it when by using your own voice
you can demand this institution for
Seward. The Superintendent of
Schools for the Territory of Alaska
has told you that he w mid assist y ju
in obtaining a full grade high school
for Seward, but he did not Jell you
that he could order this school for
Seward unless you people of Seward
showed that you would do yourpart.
What have you done since he was
here? Nothing. What are you continu
ing to do? Nothing. What are you go
ing to continue doing? Nothing? If
you do continue to dormant and
say to yourselves. “If we get the
achoil allright. If we don't get it all*
right," you ought to be ashamed to
Ir jk any Seward school child in th2
/ace. Now is the time to take action
on this vijal question. Ton fathr?
*nd mothers vf children of Seward
v
must get together and set Cal\ the
school board together. Request them
tr tike action on this matter. Yfcftt the
City Father and ask them what share
they will take in helping to make n
full grade high school for Seward a
reallity. This school is as necessary to
the future welfare of your children a3
the proper food is necessary. The
mind needs nourishment as well as th*‘
body. We have said enough. Give this
matter serious thought and after you
have looked at it from very angle get
together and outline some campaign
of action, which when put into effect
will enable you \o bring to Seward
one of the most necessary things need-1
ed in the growth of a real community.
You can have this school if you will
just make up your minds that you
want it and need it If you will all get
together and demand it, it will be
made a reallity by tbe man who prom
ised to help you get it Lester Hender
son is a man of his word but he can
not do the impossible. The IMPOS
IBLE at the present time is to mak«
the proper authorities see that you
fathers and mothers and real citizen
of the town of Seward really and sin
cerely want a full grade high school
for your children. You have done noth
ing as yet Now is the time to do
something. Now is the time to act
NINE THOUSAND SPRUCE
TREES DAILY SACRIFICE
For the production of New York
papers every twenty-four hours 9,000
trees are used daily. That is the esti
mate of C. Price-Green, industrial
commissioner of the Canadian Na
tional railway.
The total standing timber available
for pulp is twenty -five hundred bil
lion trees. At the present rate of con
sumption we will be without pulp on |
this continent in fifty years. j
But, at the present rate of increase -
i
in the consumption of pulp in com- j
modities other than newspapers and j
publications the supply will be ex-!
hausted in half that time.
The invention of paper was the
initial step in man's progress from
savagry to civilization . It belongs to ;
the printed and written word. News
papers consume less than thirty per
•ent of the output of wood pulp. If
§
ivilization is to endure, the use in ,
»ther channels must be stopped!
The publishing interests are grasp
ng at straws. Talk as they may of
eforestry, it requires one hundred
ears to grow a pulp spruce.
Discourage the use of paper in con- (
ainera and useless decorative pack-'
ges. If there must be substitutes
ound for present pulp supply, let the
ncroaching interest find them, and
ave the press, the only voice of the j
people.
It is not a question of price, with
-he newspapers and magazines. It is
a question of paper at any price. It
will soon be a case of the survival of
Jie powerful. And the fittest is not
always the survivor.
Avoid the use of paper in lines
where there are &sy substitutes. j

I FALSE ECONOMY
_
. •
Some amusing facts gltomed by ton*
cub reporter one day last week. ;
A woman of Seward* who was too
economical to subscribe for the Gate
way sent her little son to borrow the
copy taken by their ndghbn.
In his haste the little fellow slipped
on the ke and broke Ms arm which
necessitated the calling of a doctor ;
and the expenditure of more than
I (20.00. Hid cries reached his father•
who ran to his assistance and failing !
to notke a barbwire fence, ran Into it,;
breaking it dowp and cutting a hand- (
ful of fleeh from his anatomy and i
ruining a five dollar pair of breeches.
The pig he was fattening took advant
age of the gap in the fence and wand
ered away and was frozen to death
that night Hearing the racket tye
mother ran upsetting a four gallon
measure of home brew into a basket of
kittens, drowning the whole litter. In
her hurry she dropped and broke past
mending a $50.00 set of false teeth.
The baby left alone crawled through
the spilled home brew and into the
pallor ruining a twenty dollar carpet.
During the excitement the eldest
daughter eloped with an Anchorage
man. The clothes line brokh which con
tained four high priced wool shirts
and the three young malamute pups in
, the yard chewed the tails off of them.
All to save $1.25 per month. Moral
Subscribe for the Gateway at once and
prevent these calamities.
