Skagway School Children Asked
to Register Summer for Work
Registration of School Chil
dren for Summer Work, The
State Departments of many of the
States of the Union are asking teacfi
ers to register for summer home
work, all children above the fifth
grade and also to allow as many
children below this grade to regis
ter as desire to do so: Now, as
ueTer before in the history of
America, it is deemed' necessary to
impress upon children the import
ance of helping in every way to
produce and conserve food, and to
i'o all things necessary lfor comfort
able living during the war.
The mothers must have time for
Reel Cross work, time to can and
preserve the summer t'uits and veg
etables for winter use, and time to
make over and utilize old clothing
and in every way manage their
households to the best advantage,
la order to. help the mothers do
this the children will gladly share
their responsibility and in order
that they may be impressed* with
the importance of their share of the
burden, the children o£ Skagway
Public School are asked to name
what kind of work they desire to
take upon themselves for the sum
mar' .and how much time they in
tend to devote weekly to this work.
First and foremost, they are ask
ed' to make a garden; They may
m:'ke tins garden alone, join In
groups of two or more, or they may
simply agree to help so many hours
a week in tho family garden. Girls
and boys alike may register for
th's garden work and for house
hold tasks . Cooking, sewing, can
n'ng, or any other household* work
that will aid' the mothers, will
be accredited work.

Furthermore, we hope that all
parents understand that this mea
sure in no way should' be interpret"
ed as an attempt to Interfere
the parents throughout the sum

t'>e school hopes to co-operate with
the prenta throughout the sum

The City Clerk's office is quite
often these days being as Iced for a
cony of the birth, certificate of some
one born in Skagway In the early
days. Inasmuch, however, as no
vital statistics were kept by the
City prior to 1S07, the only thing
the Clerk can do is to secure from - •
some old-timer who remembere| the
family concerned a statement as to
hi° recollection in the matter. A
birth certificate is now! asked for
Albert Joseph Cuvelier, born July
21st, 1900, Dr. Ransom attending.
Anyone who can attest to the
correctness of the above facta will
confer a favor by communicating;.^
with P. H. McClelland, who is tak
ing care of the Clekr's duties dur
ing the absence of Mr. Rogers.
