ALASKA SCHOOL NEWS

Altho receiving notice of the con- test very late in the school year, sev- eral members of the 1921 high school graduating class in Alaska entered the Good Roads-Highway Transport" essay contest for the Firestone University Scholarship prize. which carries with it attend ance for four years, with all expens- es paid, at a university or college to be chosen by the winner of the con- test. This essay contest is nation wide. A central national committee passes upon the essay submitted from each state and territory and awards theScholarship to the win ner. Harvey s. Firestoue, president of the Firestone Tire company of Akron, Ohio, is the donor of the scholarship.
 The essay of Miss Floris M. Clark of Skagway was awarded first place in the Alaska contest and will be judged with fifty other, represent ing the 4S states, Porto Rico, and the District of Columbia. Second and third rank in the Alaska con- test were won ivy Miss Margaret Collins of Fairbanks. and Miss Kathleen Ward of Juneau.
 The contest is an anual affair. The committee has Indicated tha; the subject will be announced much ear Her during the present school year. It will relate to some phase of mo- tor truck transportation or roads High school seniors who conJem- plate entering the contest will do well to secure material early 4 bibliography of bulletins and book lets covering this subject IS being sent to all high schools.
 The following schools issued a school annual last year: AtognaE. "Kalega"; Anchorage, "Anchor"; Douglas, "Taku"; Fairbanks, "Ursa Major; Juneau. Totem; Tetch- ikan, "Kayhi'; Skagway, "Trail"; and Wrangell. "Wrangler."
 These annuals are exceed ing ly interesting and reflect credit upon the school and editorial staG. However. "Kalega" is most .,nique All other aunuals are printed and profusely illustrated by the use of cuts. "Kalega" is entirely hand made" There is no printing press at Afoguak, hence the pages are typewriter. For the same reason it was necessary to use prints of photographs in Illustrating the book.

The City Manager movement is il
no sense politically partisan. It is q
movement in which every qualified
roteris interested of whatever polit:-
cal utilization. Every qualified voter
should go to the polls and vote, Oc-
tobar 4, upon the question, so tina;
the result, whatever it may be, may
be the emphatic expression of the
qualified electorate.
Under our present city government,
to whom may the citizen go for relief
of any particular grievance, or Tor

answer is, it is too complicated 10
answer intelligently. 1t is as confus-
ing to the average citizen as the
visit of stranger to the catacombs

about indefinitely without success.
Not because of any desire of the r.
authorities to avoid responsibility.
but because of inability to ascertain
to whom a grievance should be pre-
scented for redress.

ING article on the growth OF
the City Manager plan: At

the spontaneous shout Of
some seventy robustious HI
wanian threats at the con-

the unanimity with which
they sprang to their feet in
response to his invitation, 1t
is evident that there will be
some powerful work done in

confidence is often the cause
of defeat! The Gazette &C
cordingly warns it's readers
to beware lest this mistaken
psychology bring about fail
