THE SCHOOL ELECTION

Within a short time residents Of
Nenana school district will be called
upon to elect three school directors.
to fill that number of vacancies on
the board. The election will take
place on April first, an the names
of the candidates for places on the
board must be in the hands of the
clerk not later than Saturday night
Of this week
Attention is called to these facts
in the hope that the interest of the
voters may be aroused. Voters, as
q rule, do not take sufficient interest
in school elections or in school
affairs. They do not appear to
appreciate the fact that a good
school is the best asset town can
have, and seldom is a school board
commended for work well done.
Serving the public as school
director is thankless task, and the
wonder is that the right kind of men
and women to fill the Offices can be
found to accept such a RESPONSE
bility
Nenana has been particularly for
tunate in this respect in the past.
Since the start of the Franklin K,
Lane school, the affairs of the in
stitution have been administered in
a manner thoroughly satisfactory
both to taxpayers and to the parents
of children attending the school.
School affairs have progressed in
spite of an apathetic public. in spite
of the fact that voters have not
taken sufficient interest in elections
to walk to the polls and in spite
of the fact that parents and tax
payers have done little to ease the
tasks of those in charge of the
school work
1t matters not if there are only
sufficient candidates to fill the va
cancies on the school board, there
should be a representative vote cast
on election day. Ncnanaites should
demonstrate, by their appearance at
the polls, that they are interested in
school affairs. a large vote, when
there is but a single ticket in the
field, is an endorsement of those
who are willing to devote time and
energy, without pay, to the welfare
of town and school, and they GER
tainly are entitled to such an ex-
preston of confidence.
The News is we'll satisfied with
the ability to make good of those
gentlemen who have consented to
become candidates. One is a mem.
Der of the present board. one was
member of the first board. and
the third has all the qualifications
needed to fit him for work of the
kind he has signified a willingness
to undertake We believe the af
fairs of our school viii be safe ir
the hands of these men and the
members of the board who will con.
tinue in office; but there are nc
restrictions on the number of can.
didates who may enter the race, and
there is ample time for others to
make known their candidacy A
contested election would at least
have the effect of attracting a large,
number of voters to the polls, and
II is possible that the interest thus
aroused would continue throughout
the year.

MILITARY AIMS
OF HUN RULERS
CAUSED DEFEAT

MUNICH.-"The purely military
way of thinking which plunged us
senselessly into this war;" says Pro
fessor F. w. Forester, Munich Uni
( versity professor and now Bavarian
minister in Switzerland, had, as
consequence, also method of con-
Quoting the war which was bound
to end in a German catastrophe.
with a blindness bordering on
insanity we called all the means
! military necessities which, step by
step. were sure to call the whole
world into arms against us-where-
by it came to be evident that our
disdain of all political and moral
scruples was a shortsighted calcula-
ton, even from a military stand
point
ITO what dire need did our So
called act of necessity in invading
Belgium bring us? Those military
ways of thinking also bear the
principal blame for the prolongation
of the war. 1t is impossible t.
conceive that we, at several turning
points during the last few years,
could not have had an undoubted
honorable peace if we. instead of
making proffers had suggested hon
estly and correctly the individual
solutions which, in the Wilson sense,
would have put out :he old fires of
Europe. The military people and
the military way of thinking how
ever, would not admit II such a
timely and unequivoca, concession.
That is all as clear as the sun now.
Why not therefore admit this
undeniable German rational con-
fusion instead of trying to make
it appear as though all were guilty
al as though new witnesses :. i'll we're
necessary - get at The truth?
Every people goes through its hard
moral crisis OF life; ours was the
te,tf in the sword since 1856 that
csnnc+ be wiped ou-. and # we ad-
NIT it to ourselves and the world
we give a moral guarantee that We
have thoroughly cleansed ourselves
Of way of thinking that prevailed
during the past decades.
He who has done his fellow men
a grave wrong is expected by civil
lied society to admit, to be sorry,
to pay the penalty voluntarily; and
likewise from a great people which,
because Of the desperate confusion
of its leading classes bears the chief
blame for world catastrophe, the
demand is made with equal right be-
fore this people can be accepted
again in the community of confid-
ence of other peoples.
I'm the midst of colossal break,
down only complete truth can save
We can gain the right to make a
moral appeal only in the degree in
which we are ourselves honorable
in going into court
/ Professor Forester brought dowE
the wrath of his colleagues upon him
self early in the war by publishing
in Swiss newspapers sharp critic
isms of Germany. Owing 10 his per
sonal popularity with the student:
of the Munich university the aurnori
ties permitted him to retain his posi-
ton in that institution, despite pro
tests by other members of the
faculty.
