NATIVE SCHOOL
j he work of the Sheldon Jack
son school at Sitka is filling a ue*&
ami training Native Alaskans to be
come hotter meu and' wwman. Any
institution, which has as its ultimata
goal that of placing society on a
higher plane is worthy of support.
The work was begun in 1880 by
Miss Austin and since that time has
slowly grown until now the institu
tion is a permanent organization
bavkt-U by mm of experience who
have tnc interests of the natives
a» heart.
Na'iv* young Alaskans over the
a»;e ui teu yean?, who can pass a
ertHluabx, mental and physical ex
Mniuaiion are eligible far member
ship. The school has logically re
served the right to reject, any ap
plicant whom they beiievo would nv<
be an asset. Stron? C'tris'ian char
acter, and true citizenship are the
chiej aims i* the school.
Thorough medical attention of
the school children is given by a
trained physician. A nurse is In
attendance daily. The transitory
period 'i the life of the AlaskHn na
tive from a physical standpoint
m-tlies ne«a nere et^ieciany _ur
gout. ...»
Besides the training In mental
and vocational work the pirpils are
encouraged to participate in the ath.
lea.ic field. Military drill for boys,
instructs tluxu in the art of self
protection and makes them an asset
to the country if called upon, al
though natives a-re not called iuto
active service at the present time.
A resume of the work covered a
thw school will be graphically im
pressed on the mind of the reader
by informing them that the follow
ing courses are included la the
corricula; the study of domestic
science, hand sewing plain sewing,
dressmaking, advanced dressmaking
domestic science music, machine
shop, hand forging, ssteam plant
work, electric plant work, carpen
try and printing.
The supervision of the work is
under the direction of C. L. Johns,
who has faithfully served the
school and takes overy opportunity
available to advance it in the right
dirittfon.
AKE WE READY
Skagvay has definitely decided to
hold its July celebrations on the
first day of July. Our neighbors
will be invited to participate in) Bind
become our guests on that day. The
da*e se» Is also Dominion Day, and
Canadian provinces will be celebrat
ing their national day. How fitting
if is tba* we may have the great
privilege of inviting our neighbors
to become our guests on that date.
Open hospitality should be the
guiding note of every citizen on
♦ha.* day. Business mea will profit
more or less by the festivities. Will
you be prepared to give efficient
service? Nothing is so aggravating
as *o be compelled to aocefpt poor
service on a day euch as this "will
be.
Restaurants will be crowded and
should make advance preparation
for hiudling the crowd. The com
mittees have been assigned to thielr
various lines of ■work and sympa
thetic co-operation is expected on
the part of the citizens of this city.
1' every man, woman and child will
enter into the spirit of the occasion
it will simplify matters for the com
miU'-e. |
True sportsmanship, up doubt,
will be disgJuyed by all of l>ar" |
ticipaitfe reprosecuting Skagway. He-j
member we ue the JsosAa oni tlwt j
day to our vjettciB. If any one Is ,
to give a point It «b»uld be **» |
in u<; way #hx>ul<l we caovry ourselves
to give the-loa»t-toot bold tor crlti- I
otem ou the part o£ any visitor.
WHAT I'KOl'HKTH IT!
, . ^ •
We wtio are ao tax from the tur
bulent zone or strife on the Mexican
border are becoming imtptieni over
'ike manner la which, tnq dlploihtiu
relations have been conducted. If
press dispatches ue true and we
nave reason to believe thai they
are authentic either the present
^ administration is at. Xault or Mexi
jco is outdoing thq diplomata ana
Statesmen at the capital city.
The republican convention, which
recently adjourned at Chicago
scored the 4eiaocra*tk aduiiiuitJtra
■ton tor the manner in which it
had banded the Mexican) situation.
War is a thing to -be Abhorred. A
war on the part otf the United
Statea government when we muc
,so much at ttake is auici iai. This
becuiuts all the more suicidal if it
is brought oil for political reasunss.
We believe in arbitration. Of
, course arbitration will fail if one
at the parties will not keej> ius
agreement. Arbitration can succeed
only after all the great nations agree
to become bouad hy the terms of
the aibitrators. In thds day of
eull^tened civilization where the
accomplishments of man stand out
as the couquertug tribunal of the
world, the destruction of those tri
bunals and the sending of the
thousands of husbands, fathers and
spns to a warrior's grave cannot foe
comprehended by the average per
BOtt.
I* pei pie really knew how often
a newspaper editor is approached I)]
somebody, pretending to have the
courage of a Daniel and the wel

and asked to support thisl proposi

or that, to print this or that as an
item of newB, ''but under no cir
cumstances print my mime In con
