Many parents in Seward are astounded at the action
taken at the recent meeting of the Seward Athletic Club
in relinquishing the gymnasium on account of the large
monthly expenditure and the small income; and the reac
tion has been to seek ways and means to immediately re
open the gymnasium for the school children must have a
place of recreation regardless of the fact the town has
made no provision.
Athletics in the schools are just as essential as any
other course of study; in a way, more so. Without athle
tics a student’s interest in his school is totally lacking.
And athletics teaches the ethics of good sportsmanship
which covers all of life’s problems.
Representatives of the Seward Woman’s Athletic
Club, the Seward Athletic Club, Professor E. J. Bath and
students, will meet within the next day or so to discuss
plans for reopening the gymnasium. The public can feel
assured these groups will find a way to finance it and
function once again.
Seward not only wishes to welcome the visiting mem
bers of the B. P. O. Elks’ but want to take this opportun
ity to admonish them to go easy with the local aspirants
who are to be initiated into the herd of Elkdom tomorrow.
At times like today, when delegations of visitors are
with us for a day or so, it is a fine thing to have for their
convenience a suite of rooms similar to the Arcade Apart
ment Club rooms, comfortable rest rooms where they
may louge or carry on. Today and tomorrow the Elks
are makng the Club their headquarters.
If that new invention which sets type by telegraph
would go ahead and work out the cross-word puzzles one
phase of national hysteria would be alleviated.
The proposed 13-month year is probably planned on
the theory that one can dodge 13 bill collectors as easily
as 12.
Useless statistics: 11,904,627 farmers in the United
\,/ States and Alaska are living in hope there is oil under
their land.
