SEWARD SCHOOL NOTES.

Acting upon the initiative of Miss Fuller, the Red Cross nurse, the pu- pills of the school were recently given thorough dental examination by Dr. o. A. Braafladt. Miss Fuller and Mrs. Louise Manthey assisted at the offices of the doctor individually carding all dental defects. These cards were la ter sent home with the pupils to show the parent or guardian just what den tai attention is needed in each case. It is hoped that, where possible, tine parents will give attention to those needs.
 Working to further the Better Teeth Campaign, the 9th, 7th and Stn grades of the Seward Junior Red Cross has prepared a number of post CTS which are being used in health eX- hibits about town.

 The coming week ushers in the end of the first semester. Pupils and tea chers will agree that it has been q very busy half year. And the com ing week will be the busiest of all because of the examinations and the filling out Of records and reports. ~

 It is hoped that sometime soon the boys and girls will have real gym" where they can get their winters in door recreation. No building in the city seems to be available for such purpose; therefore, the proper line of action is to make a drive for plain, inexpensive box or oblong gym. We're a gym of any kind now available 1t would be possible to accept the chal- lenge received from the basketball manager of the Juneau high school Their plan was to play. Seward and Anchorage high school teams on February trip here. A gym or play shed of some kind is badly needd.
 All seem to have. recovered fully from the recent sleighride. The only detail that needs attention now is the matter of a small adjustment with the owner of the horses and sleigh. And so soon after Xmas and the New Years ball and everything. Boy, page Henry Ford with his daily income of s26O,OOO ...;-
 A few weeks ago the Civics class of the high school, Clara Manthey acting as secretary, sent letter to Dan Sutherland suggesting the introduc- tion of deer and blue grouse from Southeastern Alaska to the Kenai pc ninsula Mr. Sutherland at once gave the writer his close personal attention as is evident in the following letter: Congress of the United Stateh house,
 of Representatives, Washington,
 D. c.
 Miss Clara Manthey, Seward Alaska.
 My Dear Madam: I am in receipt of your letter of November 14 and have taken the matter up with the Bi- ological Survey here in Washington and the officials of that bureau believe that the project of taking blue grouse and deer from southern Alaska and placing them on Kenai peninsula is a meritorius one.
 You will understand that some years ago the Alaska Territorial legislature appropriated a sum of money for the purpose of transferring deer from southern Alaska to islands in Prince William Sound and the latest report from that section is that these deer have increased rapidly in the few years that they have been there, and
