WHAT PRICE SCHOOLS
i
One rainy day in April, 1928, more than 100 children marched thru
he streets of Seward. Flags fluttered; posters pleaded: “Mr. Taxpayer,
’lease Build Us a School,” "Vote For the Bonds.” It was an anxious
lay with a triumphant ending. Of 137 taxpayers who voted on the
>ond issue, only 18 voted against it.
Stumps were cleared from the school site, construction begun as
oon as possible and in September, 1929. the William H. Seward School
opened its doors. It was roomy, well ventilated and. best of all, it was
veil lighted. Somebody’s dream had come true.
Today, nearly 150 children receive instructon there. Of these, 18
ire now resident. During 1930-31 tuition fees to the amount of $420.50
.vere credited to the Seward school on account of such non-resident
■hildren. Fifty children are now enrolled in the High School.
For the past several years the affairs of Seward’s schools have been
veil administered- Careful planning of the courses offered in the High
School and intelligent selection of teachers have placed the school
jn the accredited list of the University of Washington. At last, grad
uates can enter institutions of higher education on equal footing with
other students.
The necessity for economy has limited the number of courses to the
bare essentials, yet we find the students being instructd in practical as
well as cultural subjects. In the Commercial Department, 19 students
are being trained to take places in the business world. The girls in the
Home Econoics classes are learning that home-making is a science as
well as a beautiful art. Throughout the entire school there is an at
mosphere of order and industry; a spirit of purpose and accomplishment
that speaks eloquently of the fine corps of teachers there.
The February issue of the Alaska School Bulletin discloses some
interesting facts regarding the cost of maintaining this school for the
year 1930-31. The Territory contributed $18,180.64. The town of Sew
ard contributed $4,131.95. In other words, during the year, Seward
paid I8V2 per cent of the cost of educating its children. Of the 17
schools in incorporated towns and districts of Alaska, only one com
munity paid less.
Any policy which looks toward a cutting down of educational op
portunities in Seward is not good business when we are paying only 18
per cent of the entire cost. Such measures will result in the school los
ing its accredited rating and parents desiring ordinary educational ad
vantages for their children will be forced to send them elsewhere.
Since not one family in ten can bear the financial burden of such a
course, the greater number of our children will become the innocent
victims of a mistaken idea of economy. Have we the right to narrow
their lives and impair their usefulness in the world? Is it fair to expect
them to pay for so-called civic improvements?
Of every $10 citizens of Seward pay as taxes, $1.60 go to our school
Shall we call this waste or a splendid investment?
Only hearts without tenderness love to dominate; true affection
craves abnegation—the virtue of strength.

In response to several inquiries
relative to our candidacy for elec
tion to Municipal Offices, we the
undersigned desire to make the
following statements:
In view of the low finances of
the City of Seward presistent
rumors have been circulated to
the effect that school appropria
tions from the City Treasury must
be cut and possible elimination of
part of the teaching staff. The
thought suggeste A that the Town
should disincorporate in order to
relieve itself of the burden of.
bond payment has alarmed a
number of our citizens.
We are unalterably opposed to
any effort being made to lower
the present high standard of edu
cation in this community, feeling
that there is anvils oppcrt’.nUy
to practice economy in other
branches of municipal affairs.
Being substantial taxpayers of
this community and having pre
viously served the residents of
Seward as members of the Muni
cipal organization for many years,
we pledge ourselves to a poliev of
strict economy with the idea in
mind of endeavoring to secure for
the city maximum efficiency for
every dollar expended.
Respectfully submitted,
C. E. ORLANDER
J. S. BADGER

This notice is bought and paid
for by citizens interested in furth
ering the election of the above
named. Believing that with the
many years experience they have
had on the City Council an effi
cient administration is possible
without jeapordizing the obliga
tions of the City.
