IN THIS MECHANICAL AGE
Out of over 200 students in u western high school
only 59 passed an examination of problems in seventh
and eight grade arithmetic. Only two out of the 59 re
ceived a perfect score. Carelessness was the cause of the
failures, according to those in charge.
We are willing to let it go at carelessness. Perhaps
it is partly due to the increasingly mechanical method
of the age. Knowing that when they get out into the bus
iness world they can push a lever and get a sum in addi
tion, subtraction of whatever else, they form a con
clusion they would seldom need to think for themselves.
Budget your time the same as you budget your in
come and expenditures and in doing so chalk up a little
time for the whole community’s welfare.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether they take more
pride in the marriage or in the divorce.
Senator Curtis appears to be sinking into obscurity
gracefully.

Alaskans at times see mto be too
sources to appreciate them.
May be they haven’t found out what static is, bue

much like pineapples exploding.
Selling Seward sometimes is a bigger job among
our own citizens than selling it to an outsider.
A Sing Sing convict was made to swallow a camera,
presumably for scientific purposes in the treatment of
cancer, but suspicion leads us to believe this is a plan of
the prohibition enforcement department to get more in
side dope.
