~~ Entered as second class matter at the postoffice, Seward, Alaska.
THROUGHOUT Alaska and the states of the Pacific coast at the present
time thousands of people are trying to keep in touch with the conditions hero
in Seward. When a man leaves Seattle now
TALKING OF SEWARD days for this place and people know he is
coming here they simply pester him with re
quests to send them out information about the prospects in this district. It
is a repetition of the old system at the time of the early stampedes; "You
go in and I’ll stay here and take it easy and wait until you put me wise .
One very great indirect advantage which the building of the railroad is
having is the advertising of this part of the territory among mining men.
They naturally come to the conclusion that the government is only building
the road because it has full knowledge of the great prospects presented by
this country and mining-men are constantly looking around for chances.
Capital seeks employment just as eagerly as a carpenter. Mining capital is
ever and always trying to keep in touch with the countries where mining is
carried on and recently the number of inquiries regarding this section has in
creased tremendously.
Considering this fact it might not be a bad idea for the subscribers of
the Gateway to mail out their copies when they are through w:th them to
people whom they know to be interested in mining investments. This paper
will try to the best of its ability to keep in touch with all the mining de
velopments of the district from day to day and Seward people have a coun
ty which they need not hesitate to advertise. It is a country in which capital
is presented with a first class field and after the capital could come the wage
workers.
It would be a task of really great importance to keep informed all the
people who are now looking for information about this section and it would
be a task well worth trying to fulfill.
THE SEGREGATION of the sexes in the Broadway high school of Seattle
is one of the results of a serious question which has been discussed frequently
of late years. A very large percentage of the people
CO-EDUCATION are opposed utterly to co-education when the pupils
get beyond a certain age. They are opposed on
moral grounds and because of purely educational considerations.
Many people contend that young girls should not be placed constantly in
the company of boys who sometimes know too much about some things with
out having the knowledge or sense which would create caution. Other peo
ple believe that mere propinquity itself is dangerous and there are various
other beliefs of a sexual nature, but one of the chief objections to co-educa
tion is that “kids” in their teens are too prone to pay more attention to
“kids” of the other sex than they are to their lessons if young members of
the opposite sex are constantly before their eyes and in their company.
That sex question is a funny one, anyway. It begins when we’re scholars
and ends only when we’re skeletons.
