TO THE PATRONS OF THE
LAKELAND STEAM LAUNDRY

Commencing Monday, Sept. 8, the
Lakeland Steam Laundry Win. be
closed down for two weeks for the
installation Of additional machinery.
This will be the first time since Cd.
ening for business fifteen years ago
that we have found It necessary to
close down to enlarge the plant,
though it has been enlarged several
times, but this time we are preparing
to install such a large amount of new
equipment that we find it will be i'm.
possible to serve our customers at
our own plant during the two weeks
while this is being done; however, we
have arranged to have our work done
by the Tampa laundries, and the
trucks will call for and deliver your
laundry to you as usual, except that
the service will not be so prompt. and
work coming in after Wednesday.
may not be returned before the first
of the next week. IA ba
/ urge that every one get their
packages in on Monday or Tuesday.
so that they can be returned during
the week.
The installation of this additional
machinery puts us at the Head Of
the class in point of equipment. and
we will be able to serve you better
than ever.
l wish to thank my customers for
their liberal patronage, and for their
good will toward the Lakeland Steam
Laundry, and I assure you that it is
our object to give you service at all
times that will merit both.

We do not like work, especially.
We would be glad if everybody could
be freed of the necessity for it. Still,
there is much truth In the saying,
There is no fun like work. Work
and recreation, alternated, form the
ideal existence. Not too much work
and not too much idleness or play.
We hope to see the time when men
as a whole will have their time di.
vided equally between work, play,
and sleep-eight hours for each. The
world is hardly ready for this yet, for
there is so much work to be done. It
is certainly not ready for a six hour
day or a five day week. That would
be a disadvantage to workers and a
bar to the worlds progress.

LEGISLATORS ABOLISHED HIS
JOB WHILE HE WAS OVERSEAS

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 9O.--Lots of
doughboys came back home and found
they had no jobs because of various
reasons, but the case of Captain
Thomas B. F. Smith is an exceptional
one. Captain Smith was member of
the Illinois Equalization Board when
was was declared. He left his job,
wife and family and went to war. But
when he returned from France he
found he had only wife and family,
as the Illinois State Legislature had
abolished his job.

There are 143 teachers in the
schools of Alaska, of which number
20 are men and 1913 are women. Alaska
is especially fortunate in that it has
been able to attract well qualified
teachers to her schools The majority
of the teachers in Alaska have TWO

banks. In these schools the vacation
period occurs during the winter
months.
The social service feature of a
teachers work is no different in the
average Alaska community than in
the States. The large communities
contain churches, libraries and other
organizations devoted to social up
lift. There is, of course, always
room for this kind of service, but
there is nothing inherent i'll the ma
ture of Alaskan communities or of
Alaskans which makes them any lower
in the scale of culture than those of
Washington or California. Many Of
the smaller schools are located in
fishing or mining villages, where a
capable and energetic teacher does
have an opportunity to add much to
the life of the community, but this
is also true in many smaller communi
ties in the States
Salaries of teachers range all the
way from $110 per month in some
schools of Southeastern Alaska to
$50 at some points to the westward
and 5000 in the Interior. Superinten-
dents and principals receive from $3.50
to $3.50 per month. the salary depend
ing upon the size Of the school and
its location. The usual school term
is nine months in length Two schools,
Skagway and Valdez, have ten
months term. Board AID room will
cost from $50 IN Southern Alaska to
SIS in the Interior. Where teachers
their own cooking these figures may
be materially reduced, as is also the
case where two people occupy the
same room. Approximate transporta-
ton and subsistence charges from Sc
attic to the various points follow:

$50; Nome, 500; Fairbanks (via Cor

The following interesting article
was compiled by l.. d. Henderson, ter.
ritorial commissioner of education
and is published by the Ale ska bureau
of publicity:
There are two distinct and separate
school systems in Alaska, as follows ::
% Schools for Alaska natives, which
are under the direction of the United
States bureau Of education, through
its Alaska division. These schools
number approximately seventy-fve
and are situated all the way from
Point Barrow, in the Arctic ocean, to
Dixon entrance, in Southeastern
Alaska Information regarding them
may be obtained from w. T. Lopp,
chief of the Alaska division, United
States bureau of education, 1928 l..
c. Smith building, Seattle, Wash.
ca All other public schools in the
territory are under the direction of
the territorial department of educa-
cation, Juneau, Alaska, at it's head.
They are maintained for white chill
dreen and children Of mixed blood
leading a civilized life. The latter
class of children is practically negli-
gible in number. especially in the
cities, although in some sections of
the territory there are small schools
in which pupils of mixed blood make
up a considerable part Of the total
enrolment. 1t is the purpose Of this
article to discuss only the schools un-
der the direction Of the territory
through it's department of education,
and for that reason no mention will
be made of schools for natives except
as above Statistics set forth will
cover the work of the territorial pub
lie schools proper during the school
year 1917-1S.
In presenting an International arti
Gle on the schools of Alaska, it is we'll
in the beginning to remove a few of
the misconceptions which are in the
mind of the average individual who
makes inquiries concerning them. A
general statement may we'll be made
to the effect that the subject taught,
the text books and courses Of study
used, and the material equipment fur
nished are in general the same or com
pare favorably with what will be
found in the average school system in
The Cordova daily times. [volume] (Cordova, Alaska) 1914-1947, 1919-03-06

the States. The pupils are Americans
and possess all the traits Of character
which that name implies. Among their
numbers will be found those who are
good and bad, rich and poor mischiev-
Gus and meek, punctual and tardy, re-
tarded and acceleratede, with and
without adenoids and similar ailments.
Many of them can talk to you intelli-
gently about New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago, St. Paul, Denver, Los An
geles, San Francisco or Seattle, for
they have BEEN there.
Teachers who come to the South
eastern, Southwestern or Southern
coastal regions of Alaska will find win
ter temperatures which may reach as
low as zero degrees Fahrenheit. Those
going to the Seward peninsula or to
Interior points will find weather con-
ditions mmore severe, it being no
uncommon thing for the mercury to
fall as low as 80 degrees Fahrenheit
the various towns and villages of the
former and as low as so degrees in
the latter Lower temperatures are
occasionally recorded on rare occa
sions. The average during the Win
ter months is, however, considerably
higher than the figures given.
No transportation is furnished to
teachers. Positions are secured by
making application to the clerk of
munities and presenting credentials
and photograph. The commissioner
of education is sometimes called upon
to recommend teachers for various po-
Sitions or to send teachers to fill po-
sitions caused by vacancies occurring
late in the summer or during the
school year. Applications may, there
fore, be filed with the territorial de-
partment Of education at Juneau,
where formal application blanks may
be secured upon request. There is
not a scarcity of teachers in Alaska,
since under normal conditions many
hundreds of well-qualified teachers an
nually make applications for positions.
The majority Of the schools are in
session during the period September
to May, inclusive. But three schools
hold summer sessions, these being sit
uated at Perseverance, near Juneau,
and Chatanika and Fox, near Fair
