SCHOOL BEGIXS TODAY
School begins today.
And wo wish aagin to call atten
tion to the lack of athletics in the
Skagwajr Public School. Athletics
are as much » part of education as
is arithmetic.
There remain almost two more
month* of weather suitable for
outdoor sports, suitable for out
door basket tall games, for base
ball and even foot ball. . Perhaps
there is not enough material tor
lull football or baseball teams but
there is sufficient for part teams,
and that is all that is necessary
when sports are played for the
physical benefit derived, and that
is the main reason for sports.
The season will soon be here
for Dasket ball games. A room
could be fixed up in tha school
•where teams could practice during
the week ami occasionally exhibi
tion sames could be given for whici
a charge would be made to cover
the cost of athletic goods.
President Wilson advocates ath
letics in our schools in order to
make our nation fit. .Let us do pur
fia-rt.
We suggest the student body get
together as soon as practicable and
outline a program ot suitable sports
indoor games and out door games.
We suggest they try t<? secure the
voluntary services of an instruct
or for at least one day a week.
DOIM* VOIR BIT, YET?
Have you commenced "doing youi
bit" to win the war, or are you
still Living "as usual," wasting food
•supplies, fuel and clothes?
Saving money lin't going to help
■win, unless the mouey is put where
it can work lor the nation, but
it's the saying o£ food, fuel and
duds and the work you do that
counts.
Maybe you think this war is go
ing to pajj by your sacred domi
cile?
Maybe you have a hunch some
where under your hat that the sav
ing 14 to be done by the other fel
low while you continue to go the
limit? If you have, you are just to
that extent a traitor and an ally of
the Kaiser.
This war Is a contest between
"Military Kuitur" and personal lib
erty, with, the M. K. having all the
best of it on organization, lines of
communication and espionage. Whil
the struggle is to be settled in the
gardens, on the farms and in the
kitchens.
The side that runs out of food,
fuel and "something to wear" first
Will lose.
The other day a cook was demon
strating the merits of a cartaia
stove as a fuel saver, and incidental
ly he taught those who watched him
bow to bake without "greasing the
pan/' something many housewivete
never knew before. It meang the
saving of animal fats. This has had
its results, fer at least oue womaji

Citizen Soldiers

FIRST DAYS IN CAMP
You are naturally interested la
forming socio idea oX the camp life
of a soldier. The description, which
fallows will help you in forming
this idea. However, there will be
many changes ae you go along in
your training.
The soldier arises for the day
usually at about six o'clock, a
little earlier in the summer and a
little later in the winter. The
buglers sound the can known as
reveille. The men dress and fall
in.
Your first experience of military
drill will probably consist of set
ting up exercises," which ordinarily
occupy the first few minutes of
the day. They consist of certain
movements of me head, arms, trunk
and legs which are carefully design-1
ed not merely to develop your mus
cles but also to increase your skill,
^race, self-control and self-reliance.
At the same time they.will also put
you into the right frame of Vnind
for a vigorous day's work.
Then comes "wasting up - »uu
breakfast. Usually breakfast Is
followed by a hair-hour for clean
ing the barracks and bunks and
putting clothing and bedding In
order. Frequently the company
commander will inspect the barrack!
Immediately afterwards to make
sure that every man has attended to
Ms part of the work. There is
then often some time which th
trained soldier uses t<rt attending
to his personal needs, tidying up his
clothing, and the like.
The remaining two or three
hours of the morning are likely to
be spent in drill—at first In "close
order" and later In "extended or
der" also. These terms will be
explained in another part of this
coirrse. As you advance, the drills
J will become more and more Interest
ing. During the drill there ftr€
numerous short periods of rest.
In most camps guard mounting
•corties about noon. This consists of
relieving the men who have been
guarding the camp and turning
over this duty to new men. Bach
soldier mounts guard not oftener
than once a week. After guard
mounting the men go to dinner,
jwhicn comes at twelve o'clock. At
| least one hour is always allowed
for dinner and rest.
| During the afterrnoons the work
is likely to be varied and to in
clude additional setting-up exercises
and other drills, target practice,
bayonet exercises, and later more
advanced drilling. About five
o'clock comes the evening parade
and "retreat," when the flag is
lowered or furled for the night. The
band plays "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," while all officers and sol
diers stand at attention.
Supper comes bewteen five and
six o'clock ,and is usually followed
by a period of rest. In the training
camps there will be many opportune
ties fOT a variety of healthful
amusements—for sports, music, the
theatre, and so on, as later de
scribed. Taps are sounded by ten
o'clock. This is the signal to put
out all lights, retire and keep quiet.
"It closes the day for the soldier
and sends him to his blankets a
tired and sleepy man."
of Seward has saved enough fat
during the last mouth to make a
bucket of soft soap. Small thins,
a bucket of soft goap, but enough
buckets throughout the laud would
reduce the price of bacon and hams.
You will remember it ya's the
frightful need of animal fats which
led Germany to boil down "ka
davers."
From a well-handled kitchen
there will be very fere wasted scraps
these days, and if theTe are scrap's,
it's proof that the kitchen is not
well handled, regardless of how
appetizing the food may be.
Fires are another source of
waste. .Many houses are kept from
five to ten degrees warmer than
necessary and that means fuel wastq
Too many picnics mean gasoline
waste in auto ot boat. Picnics are
alright if by going on them the
picnieker regain's vitality to do
something worth while, but it's
loafing between the picnics that
makes for slackers.
Calls for help received by Red
Cross headquarters at Juneau show
that bandgaes, slings, pajamas an<]
surgical dressings are needed. A
call has been issued there for old
linen to provide material and the
work is on.
If you are too busy with you-r
regular vocation to work for victory,
you can at least aara. I l.|.jy
