In student assembly, Mr. Rogers
expressed the desire of the Seward j
school administration to enable i
the high school to join the North- j
west Association of Secondary and i
Higher Schools. He pointed out the |
many advantages to be gained by
such an affiliation. The Northwest |
Association is an organization to :
high schools, universities and col- ■
leges in six Northwest States and j
Alaska. In turn, the association is j
affiliated with the North Central
Association, an organization of in
stitutions of learning in 20 addi- ;
tional States.

School with this extensive organi
zation, Mr. Rogers indicated, would
mean a much larger scope of op
portunity for Seward graduates,
due to the increased number of
colleges and universities which i
would then be open to them.
As it is, the standing of Seward j
High School makes its graduates!
eligible only to the University of
Washington. Thus the opportunity
of entering colleges and universi
ties in 26 other states would mean
an inestimable advantage to Sew
ard and the surrounding district.
These are certain regulations
which must be met before joining
the association, but, according to
Mr. Rogers, Seward High comes
very near filling the requirements.
However, certain work must be
done to bring the school library up
to the standard set by the asso- j
ciation. In addition, the associa- j
tion rules that no more than 15 per '
cent of the students may carry j
more than four subjects. At the j
present time, Mr. Rogers stated, I
there are about 25 per cent of the
students who carry more than the*
quota. i
Many of the students have al- j
ready indicated their willingness!
to cooperate in the necessary work,;
and with this assurance. Mr. Rog- ;
ers is confident that the proposed:
affiliation will be carried out.
A newT subject is added to the j
curriculum of the Seward Hi. For j
those w?ho dislike taking notes in
longhand an opportuity to take
shorthand is given. They are
studying the first words of one
syllable. There are at present five j
members in the class.
These are Marjorie Reeves, j
Ruth Prosser. Lois Jessen, Ernest- |

Dick Reed and Berry Hatten. sen

SPECIAL LAWS j
REGULATE SALE
BEER, INDIANS
A considerable number of in
quiries have been received asking
whether the act of March 22,1933,
permits the sale of beer, etc., on
Indian reservations.
The act of March 22 is an act
“to provide revenue,” etc. It speci
fically modifies the Volstead and
certain other acts of Congress, but
it does not specifically mention,
repeal, or in any other way modify
any of the acts that expressly pro
hibit the sale to Indians of beer,
wine, etc., or their introduction in
to Indian country. Some of these
special Indian prohibition acts
were in force for nearly a century
prior to either the 18th amendment
or the Volstead act. It appears,
therefore, that so far as the Indian
country is concerned, the question
at hand should be determined by
the special Indian acts and the
policy of the government in the
administration of Indian affairs
under those special acts including
the regulation of trade with the
Indians.
An examination of those special
laws will show that Congress has
specifically forbidden the intro-,
duction into Indian country, or |
sale toward Indians, of beer, ale,;
wine, etc., without naming any
particular alcoholic content, and it
has been the uniform policy for a
long period of years to exclude all
such articles from Indian reserva- j
tions. There being nothing in the i
above-mentioned act of March 22
to prevent the Department of m- j
terior from continuing that policy,
it is therefore:
“Ordered that beer, lager beer, ale,
porter, wine, etc., shall not be in
troduced into, or sold or possess
ed within, any existing Indian re- i
servation, or any Indian allotment!
held in trust or under restriction ;
against alienation, or within any j
area in which the introduction of '
intoxicants in the Indian country
is forbidden, until otherwise pro
vided by Congress.’’
