FOR THE SENTIMENTAL
St. Valentine, patron saint of lovers, lias given us
a most delightful occasion for the sentimental remem
brance of friends, sweethearts and lovers.
From the shy, hand-penned note of the knight of
the olden days to the more conventionalized card or
bouguet of today, Valentine’s day—tomorrow, Februa
ry 14—has drawn to itself many pretty customs.
One bit of tradition in this connection is that the
birds choose their mates on Valentine’s day. Out of this
belief grew the custom of drawing chances on names
of the opposite sex to see what the fates had in store.
Today, with so many of the machine-made cards,
and much-used sentiments, the old individual signifi
cance of the day has given way to the use of the day!
as a motif for gay and colorful parties and dances.

THE WINTER PASTIME
We're glad there are a bunch of good Alaskan
supporters down in Seattle to take up the cudgel in
Alaska’s defense; to repeat for the thousanth time all;
those things which have said before but what Congress
evidently considers a bunch of ‘piffle’ because they pay
no attention to it but go ahead as they desire, not what
Alaskans know to be the solution of an annual vexa
tious problem. We are becoming so used to this annual
‘belly-aching’ that we even heard a horse laugh the
other day. We’ll get just what they want to give us—a
raw deal—and we’ll have to like it.
Alaska will never go forward one step unless Alas
kans start building from within, not without.
Many Alaskans would welcome the return of for
mer eaiiy-day methods of transportation as against the
present annual howling over the Alaska Railroad. Each
year, in certain quarters at the Capital, the pack lets
out a howl that would make the common Alaska male
mute turn green with envy, could he but hear it. But
the Washington howl is beginning to make us sick and
irritable; we wish they would either play the game or
call it off.
A man may know he can succeed, and yet fail; but
unless he knows he can, he never will
Archaeologists might gather a fine collection
of fossils around Washington, instead of in Alaska,
without sinking a spade.
SCHOOL PROBLEMS
HOE HEARD: HIM
PARENTS HT MEETING
About 30 parents, youths, mem- j
bers of the school faculty and i
the school board, met last even- j [
ing in open discussion of school! *
problems, primarily, for the pur- j *
pose of solving some method i
by which deliberate acts of min- [
3t destruction of school proper- : J
ty, can be eliminated. , *
A number of protests were 1
pertaining to discipline, discrim- j
[nation, course of studies and j
a, charge directed against two,
members of the faculty who
were declared to be unsuited to
teach in the Seward school.
The only trouble with the Sew
ard school, said one in atten- ;
dance, is with the average par- j
ent by lack of cooperation.
The hob-nailed shoe or boot j
at school must go, and though j
this has been w;atched in the j
past, a few slipped across the
threshold of learning with' the1
result certain floors have been
deeply scored.
W. C. Erwin, president of the \
school board, cond uctecf the I
meeting with remarkable diplo
macy, marked with a keetf in
sight of child-welfare and school
problems. Prior to adjournment
Mr. Erwin was the recipient of
congratulations and admiration
for the manner in which he had
handled a delicate subject.
The SS Northwestern was due
to arrive in port from the south
early this evening according to
the last report prior to goffig to
press.

FORTUNATE
Juneau presents a pleasing j
contrast to anyone who has spent j
any time in the States which are \
mired in the "slough of despon- j
dency,” declared Asst. Regional j
Forester B. F. Heintzelmaiv in I ■
the Empire. Conditions on the n
coast are bad and grow worse as
one travels eastward. Juneau
does not fully realize how for- !
Innately it is situated, he said.
MOON ROCKET EXPLODES
VIENNA, Feb., 12, CP)—A 132
