-SOMTEf CHANCE
The chance for a thorough college
education will soon be open to quali
fied soldiers of the United States Ar
my. From the first grade to the final
collegiate degree, the way is being
paved by the War Department, with
the cooperation of numerous educa
tional institutions, for a complete
training in all academic and in many
technical couses.
By the autumn of 1921 it will be
possible for more than 100 qualified
soldiers to lay aside their uniforms
and enroll as students in as many col
leges throughout the country.
While this project is an entirely new*
departure for the military establish
ment, it is the result of a definitely
conceived plan to make the Army an
organization of the fullest educational
opportunity and to offer soldiers the
same chance for mental improvement
which they might secure in cival life.
The present educational and voca
tional program of the Army, which
has been in operation for more than
a year, includes elementary and sec
ondary subjects and it is now possible
for the soldier to obtain the equiva
lent of a high sehool education. The
arrangement which has been made by
the War Department and various edu
cational institutions throughout the
country will enable soldiers to con
tinue their education with a minimum
of expense to themselves.
'. While the project is still in a-formu
lsitive stage, a sufficient number of
colleges have offered scholarships tc
insure full opportunity ffcr every sol
dier who desires these educational ad
vantages. From thirty-three institu
tions have come assurances that tui
tion and other assistance will be given
students, Fifty-two colleges have signi
fied their ability to grant tuition or a
reduction in fees, while seventy-four
institutions still have the matter under
advisement and several others declare
that they will make every effort to
furthev the War Department’s plan.
The scholarship question was first
brought to the attention of the coun
try's educators through a letter ad
dresed to the Presidents of the lead
ing institutions bjr the Secretary of
War, who said in part:
“The War Department is at present
engaged in putting into effect a care
fully considered plan intended to im
prove the Army, make it more attrac
tive to young men and demonstrate
that it is a vital and natural part of
the social organization of the Nation.
We are endeavoring to convince these
young men that in serving in the Ar
my they are not only performing a
patriotic duty, but are acquinflg a
training in a useful trade, receiving
the elements of an education and are
having their characters developed.
The War Department has arranged
with the advice and assistance of some
of the best educators in the country,
a school course for soldiers in the Ar
my whch includes elementary sub
jects, some secondary subjects and a
system of vocational training, the equi
valent of that given in a good civilian
trade-school. This plan is in actual
operations r. at the present time and
about sixty percent of the soldiers
are availing themselves of these
* i
~ “l boTTeve that~Army service may be
made still more attractive by opening
to oui soldiers an opportunity for
higher education and training and it
has occurred to me that one of the
possible avenues that might be so op
ened is one leading tb and through our
great universities and other institu
tions of learnings A certain number
of soldiers are appointed to Cadetship
at the United States Military Acade
my at West Point each year, but it is
believed to be desirable to broaden the
scope of ’ the opportunities offered
them so that those who wish may pur
sue other educational courses than
that leading up to a commission in the
Army.
“in every regiment camp, post ami
i tu on of the United States Army, are
to be found soldiers with ambition for
Mich higher education and the ability
to pursue it, but without the means to
that end. Would it not be possible
for the universities of our country to
each established one patriotic scholar
ship for such deserving young men?
“This scholarship to be open only to
citizens,of your state who have served
honorably through an enlistment, who
have received a character of *’Exel
lent” on their discharge, and who
have been especially selected and rec
ommended for the scholarship from
among the enlisted personnel of the
organizacions of the United States
Army, either serving in your state 01
allocated to it. by the commanding of
ficers of these organizations.
“1 feel that our Country at large
has never fully appreciated its obliga
tion to young men who have in peace
time performed the necessary military
service of the Nation. The suggested
scholarship is only one of the means I
have in mind to in a measure dischar
ge this obligation to those men compe
tent to profit by it. I will add further
that the establishment of such patri
% |
otic scholarships at our universarics
will, I am sure, cause a spirit of emu
lation in tjie service, will raise our own
standard of education in the Army to
meet the requirements, and will result
in mutual good and mutual respect of
great value to the Country at large.
**I wish to make it clear that the
beneficiaries of such scholarships shall j
he at liberty to take any course availi- j
hie at the institution, that they are to
he entirely free from any further mili
tary control or discipline in this
choice, or in their lives at the insti
tution.”
1. Th'at eligibles for scholarships be
i confined to men who are now in the
i -
■ service or who will be enlisted at fu
; ture date.
2. That they will not be enrolled as
students in any institutions until after
their discharge from the service.
o. That all applicants for s^holar
. ships shall be recommended before dis
charge jind that the length of enlist
ment shall have no effect upon a man's
eligibility.
4. That a standard system of test
ing be formulated, which will be gen
eral throughout the service and ac
ceptable to all institutions offering
scholarships. This system to be devel
oped after consideration of the various
standards required for institutions of
fering the scholarships.

Twelve mail sacks containing copies
of thirty different reports on the min
eral resources and development of
Alaska, have just been received from
the U. S. Geological Survey , Wash
ington D. 0., for distribution by the
Alaska Bureau. These reports date
back to 1910 and cover various bulle
tins which the Geological Survey has
not distributed since that time. Ar
rangements for the delivery of the re
ports to the Alaska Bureau, were
made last summer when Dr. Alfred H.
Brooks, head of the U. S. Geological
Survey work in Alaska, was in Seat
tle. At that time Dr. Brooks expressed
his appreciation of the import place
Seattle holds as the distributing cent
er for the northern territory and sug
gested that all geological reports
available at Washington be forwarded
to the Alaska Bureau.
Copies of the following bulletins
are now on file for distribution and

The night watchman and the chier
of police and the marshal may all
have a chance some of these days or
nights to arrest one or more suspic
ious characters. On one of the recent
boats sailing from Seattle there were
quite a number of professional “yegs”. j
These men went to Anchorage. Recent
reports from that town make mentiorl
of several robberies. Some of those
reports are not founded on fact, but
one or pos ibly two of them are and
there is a possibility in the near future
that one or more of these transient
*4Yeggs” might elect to pay a visit to
Seward. Just think what a calamity it
would be if you awakened some morn

Some of us are content to go through
life noting the mistakes of others,
blissfully indifferent to the fact that
-hey see us as we see them.
People tliink of us only as our own
conduct and actions deserve. If we
spend our time in petty and obnoxious
criticisms of others, we Must expect
that they at least will be able to de
tect the beam in our own eyes. A few
may be short sighted and unobserving,
but the majority of the people are
wise and quick to note the idiosyn
crasies of human nature.
Why is it that some people are un
iversally admired and respected
through life, although they have their
faults as do the rest of us? It is not
because those faults are hidden from
the world. Far from it. It is because
such people have hearts endowed with
more than the average of human com
passion — hearts that prompt % the
mind to recognize the good qualities
of others rather than to be continu
ally seeking out the weaker points. It
is because they see the better side of
others that the world thinks so well
of them. .
All people have their faults, but
some, Unfortunately, are only able to
distinguish those which exist in.the
other fellow.
Men who advertise, asserts the En
dicott Index, usually have something
to sell that they are not afraid to have
examined.
A Wise man never boasts of the'
money he i^akes because it mightJ
reach the ears of his wife.
A little clearing up in Seward day
by day, without waiting for the City
Council to announce certain day,
would make the streets and alleys look
spick and span at all times.
