Eof his son. Robert w Pickens,
who. some weeks ago was reported
to have been wounded 10 action.
somewhere III France. Last week
he had another message stating
that his son was missing in actio1.
This leads Bro. Pickens to think
that possibly bis son had been
taken prisoner. Young Pickens
had cbum, whose home was ID
GAINESVILLE, and he was also re-
ported missing, and they we're the
only ones SO reported, and 1t may.
be that they ventured out too far
and we're taken BY the enemy and
are now il German prison camp.
Young Pickens was 10 years old
and went to bis country's call ID

Fred Tate. who has developed
into quite q successful real estate
agent has made quite a number
ofspleBdid deals recently. He goes
about bis work in a quiet business
like way and the first thing
you know he has sale to
report. He made a very i'm
pertant deal this week. This
one may not have involved as
large sum as some deals he has
pulled Of, bus we hope it will
mean fully as much to him and
bis family. He has bought the
Olgah Mebane place from w. A
Brevard, the place Mr.. Tate has
occupied for some time and
he will make that his future home.
This is beautiful location and
MIR. Tate will, no doubt, improve
the place and make it still more
attractive.

Buy Large Stamps

As measure of economy post
masters and postoficee mpolyes
have been directed by the national
authorities to encourage the public
to use stamps of the highest de-
nomination suited to the amount
of postage required on all mat
ter, according to an official state
ment received from Washington.
In stampingta letter requiring
three cents postage a three-cent
stamp should be used instead of
three one-cent stamps; parcel re-
quiring 10 cents postage should
be stamped with a 1O-cent stamp
and not with two fVe-cent stamps,
are instances given in the sug-
gestion. If this is done a large
saving to the government in pro-
ducing, transporting and cancelling
of the stamps will be effected.
It is particularly important that
concerns mailing large quantities
Of letters and parcels should follow
the suggestion made BY the goY-
eminent.

Early Closing OF

The war council Of Tennessee

thought best to annul the
order 1t is hoped by the cou-
neil that the retail merchants
will voluntarily observe the rule
of early closing.

PATRIOTIC SERVICE

This office has received com munication from National Educa- tiop Association Headquarters which calls attention to the fact that dur ing the great period of stress through which we are now passing educators should see to it that schools are not exploited. Many patriotic organizations are springing up all over the country. Each in turn demanding service from the schools. Some are pdroperly organ ized for service and have legitimate ends while others have not. Of the latter class, che Army and Navy Bazaar. with headquarters at New York City, will serve as an example. A recent investigation in the New York Courts revealed this fact. The gross receipts of the Bazaar were $71,475.93 and the net amount used to furnish comfort kits" to the soldiers at the front was $754.96. Most of the money received was paid out to high salaried officials

education which is in use in the United States, the teacher is the important, vital element. Material equipment and other equations which are commonly considered in a study of the condition of local system of schools sink into practi- cal insigniffcance before the weight of influence which is thrown into the balance by the tea cher. Today as never before there is need for teachers of untiring devotion and zeal to whom America represents in truth the crowning achievement of the ages; who love America for what she is and for what she IS destined to become; who See in an educated moral democracy the only salvation of the vexing world problems of the ages; and who be- lieve that only in a free public school system can the proper ideals of good citizenship and world citi- zenship be instilled and dem ocracy be created which will be safe for the world.

CARRYING THE MESSAGE"

There has never been a time in the history of the United States when it has been possible for the educational agencies of the nation to render such effective as today. Attention has been called in the several circulars which have been issued from this department to a few of the ways in which the schools of Alaska may rise to their oppor- tunity. The whole round of service which the teacher should render in these times may, however, be summed up in the expression, "car- rying the message" A message of service, a message of American ideals, a message which can be read in the life and conduct as well as in the words which may be uttered in the class room.
 This message which it is the duty of every teacher to carry must extend into every part of the school curriculum. Albert Surrant, Min ister of Public Instruction for France, in the early days of the war issued the statement that ''in all the schools of the Republic there is not single teacher who continues to live and move in the same narrow paths, or teach the same lessons in the same way-no one who addresses to his pupils in these decisive hours only the customary words of yesterday"
 l!
 Would it not be we'll if like claim could be made for the teach CTS of Alaska? The Customary words of yesterday" are perhaps the easiest to utter but in these times their sound is hollow. Those who "earry the message" to the school children of Alaska must carry a true message. This fact requires more labor from each individual teacher and well illustrates the truth that under the system of

FOREWORD

Tho Alaska School Bulletin" makes it's initial bow with this issue. It is hoped that the material herein presented from month to month will be helpful to the teachers. The degree to which each one is beue- fitted will depend to great extent upon the way in which the teaching force of the Territory generally re- spondsd to the opportunity which this medium for an exchange of ideas affords.
 The aim of the Bulletin is three fold: CD a medium through which the Territorial Educational Depart m1lt may send communications to the teachers and Boards of Educa- ton of the Territory; CD a means by which national and foreign edu- -cational news may be disseminated and special activities of the schools in any state of the Union brought to the attention of the TcTr-tcriGl teaching fierce; (9) clearinghouse in which special features of the work in any school of the Territor may be brought to the attention of the other schools for their irspira- tion or guidance.
 To the end that these objects may be attained it iss essential that teachers and administrators gener- ally corporate with this depart ment to the extent of presenting information concerning their work. You are therefore asked to contri- bute any special feature which is being worked out in your school. Your stunt may not seem uncommon o= marvellous to you but it may furnish just the suggestion neede by some one else. Therefore sub init it. Suggestions as to the way in which this bulletin may be made more useful to you will be gladly received.
