"America For Americans"
.NIGHT SCHOOLS
Tie legislature of Alaska at it!
last session passed au act for th<
estsbllshment of citizenhip nighi
schools of which a fejv of oui
citias have taken advantage. Skag
»*y has no euch school. Ther<
*r® men working in different plac
M ia the city >ho would be glac
such an opportunity offered it
»*li to them where they might be
eoma better acquainted with oui
government, its political machina
Dona. its history, etc. .Especial
ly should these things be knowi
uow since 'he United States ha;
tutered the war.
Tae purpose of the citizenshrj
school l-} to create better citi
zens, aaij to aid foreigners in th«
siudy of American government ic
order that they may become citi
s«iu. English Language, History
of tbs United States, and Civ
il Government are required to b«
taught and any' other subjects
which «re desired may be taught.
IV the cities night schools are
h«ing largely attended, not alone
by Xoreiguers, but by leading buai
men who are desirous of
learning more about the communi
ties in which they sell their goods,
or wl.» to knoK more of the gener
al manner in which other business
es are conducted. New fields for
investment are studied; the war
news is kept up to date; current
events ar# taught.
Any twelve persons, 16 years of
*S* or over, who are not now* at
teadiug school may petition to the
Judge of the United States dis
trict ccurt for a, night school. The
»etitioii will be investigated and
it worthy the school will be grant
ed with aH expenses paid by the
government, including the salaries
of teachers who will be paid to not
exceed JC an evening for two hours'
work. Further details may be had
from the Dally Alaskan or from
U 8- Commissioner Rasmuson.
The Alaskan Is of the opinion
that a night gchool is needed in
Skagway and that it would be of
jTeat benefit to many of the men
who dc- not have opportunities to
study otherwise. Any one interest
ed in the establishment of a
night school is requested to see
the Alaskan and if enough men sig
nify their desire to attend the Al
aska* will petition the government
tor the establishment ©f one in

TREASON RARE IX AMERICA
Ths penalties of sedition are
emphatically shown by the twenty
year sentence just passed in an

a lfctQTo last July. The case will
M taken, It is asserted, to the
court 0# last resort. American
Jurisprudence has a slender line of

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING 4
AT FIRST NIGHT CLASS
Douglas, Nov. 7.—The first call
for night school at the Douglas
school house a week ago met with
a most gratifying attendance, there
being over fifty pupils enrolled. A
large class enrolled for shorthand
and typewriting and many were
anxious to take up the study of
Spanish and English. Only a few
books were on hand so but little,
work was undertaken for the first
nirht. Books will be ««nt for im
mediately, however, and within a
few weeks it la expected that a
splendid night school taking np sev
eral different branches will be do
ing good work for the winter
months.
we shall be fortunate if we can
finish, this war with no more cases
o' the sort than our other wars hav«
produced. The inherent patriotism
of the American people has served,
hitherto, to save the pages of our
history from the blot of treason's
record; and there la no reason to
believe that the American spirit
has changed.
