ALASKA DAY AND SEWARD DAY
z Alaska School Rulletn.l.

Two days are observed in the Alaska
schools which are not familiar to teach
ers employed in the Territory for the
first time. They are Alaska Day. Oeto-
Der 18th and Seward Day, March seth.
While both days are legal holidays
neither are school holidays. The reason
for this is that those who framed the
Territory's school laws felt that little
is accomplished in the way Of express
ing belief In commonwealth or honor
for great man by closing the schools,
thereby depriving children who are
under the influence of the school for less
than one fifth Of their waking hours, be-
tween the ages of six and eighteen Of
the benefits which the school has to
offer 1t was felt. rather that much
more can be accomplished along the line
of instiilng a feeling of loyalty to
Alaska and of respect for the man who
played so large part in making Alaska
a part of the United States by keeping
the schools in session and devoting a
part of the day to exercises appropriate
to the occasion.
Information concerning the purchase
of Alaska and the life of Seward is
available in the majority of the schools.
1t will not be Inappropriate. however,
to review briefly some Of the more i'm
portant phases of the process by which
Alaska became United States territory.
AS early as 1854 Russia had approached
the United States with an offer to sell
Ala ska. The disastrous results of the
Crimean War and the fear that England
would secure possession of Russian Am
erica, as Alaska was then called, were
the motives which impelled her TO make
this offer which was not accepted by
the United States. However. the matter
of the purchase of this territory was
given serious enough consideration fol
the subject TO become a political issue
during succeeding years. Such highly
interesting and enlightened terms a.

and 'Icebergia" were applied to thii
section Of the North American contin

the day.
The value of what is now Ala ska wal
appreciated by some however. and il
| 1867 a syndicate of American fur trad
ers consulted William II. Seward. thei
Secretary of State. regarding the inter
national complications which might en-
sue should they purchase Russian Am
erica. From time to time the ma tier o
the purchase assumed more definite pro

Marconi Is Pleased

LONDON, Sept %. William
Marconi, who has just returned to
London from his American tour, is

made in wireless telegraphy and
telephony in tharUnited States since

The red clergy',,s group, headed
by Archbishop Antonin and a num-
Der of young Moscow and Petrograd
clergymen, came into existence as a
result of split among the Russian
Orthodox clergy, brought about soon
after confiscation of church treas
ures was started by Soviet govern
ment officials.
Because of the opposition which
developed among the ruling church
authorities, number of the clergy
were prosecuted in various parts of
Russia, even Patriarch Tichon him
self having been placed on trial.
Many sentences of death were inn
posed, some of which were carried
into effect, and various other arch
bishops, bishops and clergymen were
given Jail sentences. Realizing that
the conflict between the state and
the church threatened the very ex-
stence of the church itself, the
group CT young ciergymen took the
initiative and demanded the abdica-
ton Of Patriarch Tichon. The Pa

this splendor," claim the young
clergymen, little room is left for

nearer to the masses-it should be
"proletarized" And it is on these
grounds that the red clergy" have
recognized the revolution, its re-
suits, and the Internationale.
The live church" proposed also
to clear the churches and parish
councils of counter revolutionary
clergy and to remove the vow OF

Smyrna times., 1922-01-11

Farmers will remember, 1921 as
the year when the figures totaled "13"
says the Chestertown Kent News.
"Assailed on all sides by low commod-
ity prices and only slightly decreased
operating expenses, the average farm
ras had year of one disappointment
after another. But it is fact that
each and every industry either has al
ready suffered in the aftermath of the
war, or is destined to experience some
of the bitter dregs in the future. The
farmer may feel that his trying time
has passed and that the future holds
something infinitely better. There is
every indication, now, that next year
should be a boom year for the agri-
culturist. With the resumption of ex-
port business, there should be a strong
demand for American products next
season, and it is a fact that many of
the commodities that were piled high
in warehouses during the war are rap
idly being consumde. A silver lining
/ is beginning to show in the dark
cloud that has obscured the sun OF
prosperity for the average farmer
during the last year. And we may
look forward to 1929 with renewed
/ hope and confidence.
