THE 1929-1930 SCHOOL TERM
The opening of another school year directs atten
tion once more to the educational resources of Seward.
By an almost unanimous vote the citizens of rew
ard last year backed up the desire of the City council
for an adequate school. Just a few days ago Contractor
Gerhard Johnsen turned the completed ediiiee of learn
ing over to the city; it will ever be recalled, and stand
as a monument toward a bigger and beter Sew aid. t
is a school for which any city would profess admiration,
and to the contractor, who injected, his personal talents
and ability, the gratitude of the citizens is extended.
A great country is not merely a matter of climate
and resources; it is, in the main, the creation of an in
telligent and progressive people. Public schools are the
educators of the public; the child of today is the citi
zen of tomorrow. The citizens of Seward looked into
the future when they decided to bond their home-town
for $50,000, in order hat this new school, which opens
next Tuesday, might be built
Education is civilization; ignorance is crime pro
ducng, world-hampering—and, saddest of all, inexcusa
ble. The parents are the mirror in which the children
see their reflection, and if the mirror is cracked the
reflection must of necessity be marred also.
Material aspects are not of first consequence in so
important a field of human endeavor as the training
of youth, the preparation of boys and girls for citizen
ship, integrity and lives of the greatest usefullness. It
goes without saying that some products of the old
fashioned one-room school built of logs, with limited
courses and equipment, were comparable, if actual life
time accomplishments are made the standard of judge
ment, with some of the best of the modern schools.
Yet if one considers the greatly extended advantag
es and opportunities that go with better buildings, bet
ter equipment, carefully planned courses of study and
well trained teachers, it must be concluded that condi
tions are more favorable for effective education than
ever in the history of the country.
Great care and thought went into the selection of
this year’s faculty for Seward’s public school; not that
this was not done previously, but ‘their qualifications
of eac hand every one of the teachers, whom are now
here ready to assume their duties, their qualifications
alone were the only guide, or merit, by which they were
chosen. Without hesitation the school board is firmly
convinced that a better curriculum than ever before
will this year be offered the children of Seward.
Under the able supervision of Superintendent M.
D. Roaney, it is confidently expressed that the citi
zens of Seward may look forward with pleasure to the
1929-1930 school term.
The best of luck to scholars and to faculty members.
IT WONT BE LONG NOW
This talk of big industries coming to Seward, the
construction of a large government building to house
varous departments, a cold storage plant for reindeer
carcasses, the possible advent of a new power concern,
the port and waterfront improvements, a large airplane
landing field, additional road arteries, and many other
things forgotten at this instance, stirs the blood. In the
face of these glowing reports can anyone doubt but
what Seward is on the very threshold of substantial
growth. Look at the resources about us. They’re going
to be developed. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither
will Seward be.
Stick with her, folks, she’s just about ready to snort
Thus far we have waited wit heagerness the ar
rival of spring and tourists but why should we no‘
feel the same about the coming of winter; winter sports
and winter tourists. Some day Alaska’s winter’s wil
be recognized as being just as valuable, from a touris
standpoint, as the good old summer time. Alaska, ir
winter, is equally as beautiful as in summer.
SPOKANE, Aug., 31, (/P)—Ore
having a value of about $3,000,000
is being shipped bv the Treadwell
Yukon Co., at Mayo. Yukon Terri
tory, to the Bunker Hill smelter.
’The quantity is about 8.000 tons as
eomDared with 6.000 last year. Of
the total, about 2.000 tons have ar- !
rived at Bradley. Idaho. The re
mainder, it is believed, is in transit |
| between Seattle. Skagway, White- ;
i horse and the mouth of the Stew- |
art river.
| Of the 8.000 tons, about 75 per- :
{cent is flotation concentrate con- i
'taining 55 to 60 percent lead and i
500 to 600 ounces of silver to the :
{ton. The remainder is in crude form
land contains 50 percent ^lead and
1500 ounces of silver to the ton. The i
mill capacity is 390 tons daily.
Mined and concentrated thruout
the year, the ore is hauled out by I
caterpiller while snow and ice re- |
main. On the reopening of navi
gation it is removed by barges up
the Stewart river for 150 miles to
Whitehorse. From there it is trans
ported over the White Pass & Yu- !
kon Railway to Skagway and from i
that port it becomes steamship I
! cargo to Seattle. A half interest in 1
the company is owned by the Bun- |
ker Hill & Sullivan Mining & Con- j
| centrating Company.
