in the students. Some students would not go to school at all if it were not for the athletics connected with it. They know that they can not enter into the athletics unless they make a certain grade in their studies. This will cause them to work harder on their studies in or der to be. able to take part in ath- letics.
 Blocks 54 and 55 can be improved in many ways. One way is to drain it. AS the land slopes toward the Back Channel. it should be drained toward the Back Channel It is best to take off the sod first and then the sun will dry off the earth underneath It can then be drain ed. It is said that it will be too marshy but by draining it and GOV ering it with gravel or sand it would do away with the marsh. It can all so be cleared of vegitation. This will not take very long as the ground is soft. Maybe some of the town people would offer to help clear it, and the school children
 could take day off and help also

study better and anything that ben efits the individual pupil will bene- fit the whole school.
 It can be improved in many ways.
 There should be a shed for shelter on rainy days because on rainy Sun days and Saturdays the boys and girls could meet and have indoor
 games. They would not have to
 roam the streets if they did not want to stay at home. This shed should have walls to keep out the rain and snow.
 The playfield should be provided
 with a baseball diamond. It should be fitted with athletic equipments,
 such as: dumbells, trapezs, and it night be provided with series of raised seats so that visitors could
 go and see games and exercises. The ground could also be beautified | by flowers
 The present school house is too
 small to accommodate all the classes now, and in a few years a new build ing will be necessary. It could be
 built near the playground and then everything would be convenient.

l believe that the proposed new playground will benefit the school One way in which it will benefit th' school is that the community will see directly the activities of the stu dents. It will take more interest ir the school. This will cause tn community to contribute none. more readily to the cause.
 Another benefit is that the play ground would pave the way toward getting new schoolhouse. Tho view is beautiful from blocks 5f and 55 and both the teachers anf the pupils would be inspired. It f centrally located. If you take :. nap of Wrangell and study it yo-

 The health of the students woul be benefited also. Pupils need ath 'etics to make clear minds. Some O these athletics are: baseball. baske' hall. football. and tennis. Sports 'nanship would be encouraged I would create ambition and interes,

Awarded For Essays on
 Playground
 Question

A special meeting of the P.-T.A. was held last Thursday night to hear the essays read which were awarded prizes in the recent contest sponsored by the P.-T.A. The prizes were awarded by numbers and the identity of the winners were not known until after the judges had made. their decisions, when it be- came known that Frances Tamaree and George Case of the Ninth grade had won first and second prizes, re- spectively,, and Catherine Matheson and Dorothy Johnson of the Eighth grade had won the first and second prizes offered the elementary grades. The first prizes were in each case a Brownie Kodak. George Case receiv- ed Little Ben alarm clock for sec ond prize while Dorothy Johnson re- celVed silver EVerSnarp pencil.
 At the special meeting of the P.-T.A. a number of essays were read which had not received prizes, but which were worthy of honorable mention.
 The subject of the essays was, "Will the proposed new playground benefit the school, and how can it be improved ?" While literary eA- cellence was considered by the judges, the awards were made large ly on the merits of the arguments advanced for or against the acquisi- tion of the tract of land back of the Gymnasium for public playground
The Wrangell sentinel., 1923-05-03

It is level site and therefore will be good playground. They could have sand piles, place backboards for outdoor basketball, have shoot the shoots. sliding boards. stakes for football. a tennis court, base ball diamond, and rings. They could also build a small house to be used as a rest room. Some people say that it is too windy but that could be prevented by planting grove of trees where the wind is the strongest.
 Of course. supervisor would be necessary to watch the little chil- dren but I believe that the older children could look after themselves. way to raise money to pay for the supervisor would be to give public games on this playground and charge admission. That would practically pay the salary of the su- pervisor

stant use, but would certainly be saving on the banisters at home. A long chain of trapezes would not be amiss with the girls as they always seem reluctant to leave the trapezes at the gymnasium.
 A big feature of the playground would be the provision of merry go-round. Portions of the ground could be set aside for outdoor bas- ket-ball, football, tennis court and marble field.
 The building of the cloak and rest room would furnish both pleasure and instruction to the boys. It should be well supplied with hooks to accommodate the hats and coats of
 both old and young. Several chairs which are not presentable for home use and yet are too good to be thrown away would be acceptable. Old magazines in the same condition as the chairs would receive a well come worthy of their coverless backs. Each article of furniture and the different equipments for amusement could be painted a dark green and in this manner add to the natural beauty of the scenery. The significance of the labor expended
 on this playground would not be
 lost on the people but would impress iupon their minds that Wrangell is accomplishing something in the
 way of securing means by which she
 can procure better and more compe- tent citizens of our country.

Following are copies of the four prize winning essays :
By FRANCES TAMAREE (Age IT. Ninth Grade)

Many things have been proposed but of all these the playground seems to be the most practical and beneficial.
 That it will not only be adyanta- geous to the school and community, but will also be educational need not be repeated; for the value and re- quirement of large playground are too we'll known.
 Clean, healthy men and women are desirable for the citizens of democracy. The desire for outdoor sports, which are cornerstones Of health, will be created by attractive and we'll equipped playgrounds, thus providing the means by which clean, healthy men and women may be pro- duced.
 The first thing necessary toward making the playground possible would be the draining of the land This being completed, vegetation of all description would have to be re moved. The pete obtained from this piece of ground would do very well as fuel. Since the land slopes to- ward the foot of the mountain it will have to be leveled with the veg citation that has been transferred. Over this a layer of sand and gravel would be packed down as firmly and solidly as possible.
 The draining and leveling would of course call for the employment of laborers but in the building of benches and tables with which to array the playground, the manual training boys could render good ser vice. Swings and teeters are easily made. Great mounds of sand on large, low tables would afford much merriment for the younger children. Provisions for pole vaulting would not go unappreciated by the older boys. Long shoots ending in soft sand would soon wear out by con-

The proposed new playground will be benefit if properly attend ed to. Of course, to be success it must be properly superyisei by one of the teachers or some other de- pendable person in the town. In this time of present day ath- letics, we know that the children can work better if they have the proper exercise. The. very fact that our basket ball boys went to com pete with teams in Washington 4 shows the athletic ability Wrangell has. If we had proper equipment, we could have baseball and football teams second to none; and a nice playfield would furnish that eauip- ment. With practically no athlet- ic facilities or proper place for prac- tise, the high school boys have be- come champions of Alaska Since the team has shown its basket ball ability it probably would develop ability in baseball and football.
 The community would see directly the activities of the students and in this way would become interested in the school. This leads also to fi- nancial aid from the city. Second, the playground would pave the way for a new school site. The proposed site has wonderful scenery and as we know environment counts two- thirds in our life, blocks fifty-four and fifty-five are ideal
 The health of the students is ben efited by athletics and it gives them a keener mind. Such athletics as baseball, basketball, football, tennis, hockey, and hand-ball should be fostered. All this tends to create ambition and interest in the stu dents. Students who are athleti- cally inclined would keep up in their studies, so they could play on the teams.
 The whole marsh is covered by semi-decayed vegetation or peat and certainly blocks fifty-four and fifty-five are no exception to this rule. This vegetation is about twelve or thirteen feet in depth. There are also scrub pine, Hudson Bay tea, and other shrubs on it. All this must be removed, but only with a great expenditure of money. It is to be regretted that the land slopes toward the Back Channel This means more expense. There is bare possibility of it draining it. self, but this is not probable. After the vegetation is removed and solid ground is reached the playground would have to be graveled so a ball could bounce un it.
 After this is done, forms of amusement should be installed such as sand-piles, chute-the-chutes, slid ing boards, swings, teeters, rings and trapezes. There should be backboards for outdoor basketball. football field, baseball diamond, tennis court, and hockey rink. It would be necessary to build a rest room and this may be equipped as the Parent-Teacher Association thinks best.

The proposed playground on the marsh will be success. The ground will be easy to clear, for there are no large stumps and the few trees that are there are very small. The land is marshy, so it will be necessary to put sand or gravel on it.
 This playground will interest the pupils and tend to make school more attractive. The boy or girl who has had plenty of outdoor exercise can

A NEW WORLD

A good-sized bunch of young Brit

fed up on life at home after the
armistice-all of them university men,
by the way-got hold Of some capital
somewhere, bought long-term lea 70
on virgin land somewhere in the in
terror of Peru, and left to make a
new world for themselves. Two
things made it interesting; first, that
they were all both university men
and veterans; the last point some
what counterbalancing the tendency
of the inexperienced university man
to theoretical speculation; second,
that in undertaking such an adven.
ture they were really doing much the
same thing the early colonists in this
country tackled. Who knows but
something big may come of it? A
hundred years from now such history
may have been made by those ener-

FASTING GOOD FOR
HUMANS AND DOGS

The University of Chicago, De-
partment of Physiology. reports after
extended tests, that prolonged fast
ing, when not carried to the point
of injury from starvation, has ben
eficial effect upon the digestive sys-
tenn of individuals. Quoting from
the report: Among the most >strik-
ing results of fasting, Is days for
men and 80 to As days for dogs, is
the basal metabolic rate, and the Sc
erection of gastric juice for. many
months after eating is resumed. and
the body has resumed it's normal
weight. The basal metabolic rate is
a measure of the power of tissues to
consume or burn the food" The
present study of the University of
Chicago is said to furnish the first
scientific data on the effects of fast

changing the subject.
Wallie replied airly:

(Which accounts for the fact thai

not to be outdone in politeness
Maybe, before 1 go, you'll give ms
some p'inters?"
II shall be most happy" Wallie re
sponded, putting his foot in the stir
rup.
He mounted creditably and settled
himself in the saddle.
Thumb him." said Miss Spencely
"and We'll soon settie the argument.
"How-thumb him? The term is
not familiar"
"Show him, Pinkey.' Her eye:

grimly, and "thumbed" him.
The effect was instantaneous. The
old horse ducked his head, arched his
back, and went at it.

requires to tell, and Wallie was con
WINGED beyond the question of q
doubt that the horse had not beer

into his brain and his spine was pro

1t took Wallie only so long to or
der a horse as it required to get
the Riding Academy on the tele-
phone.
II want good looking mount
something spirited" he instructed
the person who answered
We've just bought some new
horses" the voice replied I'll send
you the pick of them"
Wallie hung up the receiver, fair
ly trembling with eagerness to dress
himself and get down on the veran-
da. He looked we'll in riding toys
everyone mentioned it-and if he
could walk out swinging his crop
nonchalantly, well, they would at
least notice him! And when he
would spring lightly into the saddle
and gallop away-he saw it as plain
ly as if it were happening.
Although Wallie actually broke his
record, he seemed to himself an I'M
considerable time in dressing, but
when he gave himself final survey
in the mirror, he had every reason
to feel satisfied with the result. He
was correct in every detail, and he
though complacently that he could
not but contrast favorably with that
"roughneck" from Montana-or was
it Wyoming?
What you taking such hot day
to ride for?" Mrs. Appel called when
she caught sight of Wallie.
The question Jared on him and he
replied coolly:
II had not observed that it was
warmer than usual, Mrs. Appel"
TITS ninety, with the humidity

torted
Without seeming to look, Wallie
could see that both Miss Spencely
and Pinkey were on the veranda
and regarding him with interest. HIS
pose became a little theatrical while
he waited for his mount, striking his
riding boot smartly with his crop
as he stood in full view of them.
