SUCCESSOR TO LESTER D. HEN
DERSON, L. W. BREUER, EN
ROUTE TO KODIAK
CD his first trip in his official
capacity as Commissioner of Edu
cation, Territory of Alaska, L. W.
Breuer, who succeeded Mr. Hender
son, arrived in Seward yesterday
from his Juneau headquarters en
route to Kodiak on the S. S. Ad
miral Watson. Mr. Breuer, a young
and likeble man, will return on the
Watson and continue on to the In
terior, thence back to Seward and
Juneau.
Mr. Breuer had the following to
say about Seward’s new school:
“In stating my conception of the
Seward school building I feel sure
in saying that the people of the
town of Seward are to be congratu
lated upon the efforts that they
have shown in the interest of edu
cation. A. H. L. Myers, secretary
of the local school board, was so
kind as to show me thru the build
ing during my stay in town while
the Admiral Watson was unloading.
The children thru your efforts will
be housed in a modern school
building with all the conveniences
of larger schools. I was personally
pleased with the size, arrangement
and lighting of the rooms. In Al
aska the matter of lighting is an
important problem, but the school
building now under construction
has gone a long way to eliminate
any difficulties due to poor light
ing.
“Not only is the building well
constructed but ‘folTen the site was
chosen, someone must have had an
eye for beauty. For what finer
view can one have in Seward than
that which one gets from the
school. Not only the interior of the
building is conducive to good
school work, but a pleasant sur
rounding with a wonderful outlook
should go a long way to make the
hours of study for the pupils of the
Seward school most pleasant, en
joyable and profitable.
“Further it shows what interest
CLEANLINESS and the best of
meats our motto. Fry-Bruhn’s.

Seward, Alaska
I has been taken in the matter of
j education for the children of this
community. For after all an edu
cation is the one thing that we can
'give the children of Alaska. It be
j speaks active community interest.
The Territory is willing to aid in
the matter of educating the child
ren, thus far it has done well by the
; children and it shall continue to do
so. However, it appreciates the in
terest that is taken in the local
communities in the field of educa
tion. Whatever aid we as a com
jmunity may and can give to our
'schools will create a greater local
interest and a better school plant
Iwith more efficiently trained
pupils.
‘•T am very much pleased on my
first trip to Seward in the capacit}’’
of Commissioner of Education to
see your new building and to be
come acquainted with you. It is
my wish that our relations will al
ways be cordial. It is my purpose
| to handle the office for greater in
terest of the children of Alaska.
Seward cannot but advance with
[the interest and civic pride it has
shown.”
