HOME, SCHOOL
MUST COMBINE:
SAYS LEvITAN

Stoughton- Home and school
must combine to hold their own a.
gainst the many competing in
terests that today tend to draw
young folks away declared Solo
mon Levitan, state treasurer in
an address before the Parent
Teachers association here last
night.
eve here a great deal about the
breakdown of the modern home, :"
continued Mr.. Levitan. Il think it
is time we started something in a
constructive way toward building
up the influence of the home in
stead of always complaining about
it's breakdown.
'The marvellous development of
motor transportation in the last
few years has made is so easy for
young folks to get away. And
there are so many new things Of
fered in the way of entertainment
and amusement that the home has
run up against some real eompe-
tition.
81 do not mean to say that
young folks should not have good
times. [ believe that they should
Get all the enjoyment out of lie
that they can, but / believe also
that the home and school should
get their fair chance to help these
young men and women build them
selves into good and useful citi-
zens.
Home should be made as at
tactive as possible SO that the
young folks will like their homes
and enjoy entertaining their
friends there. If they were given
as much of an opportunity as pos
sible to enjoy themselves at home
there would be less of a pull a.
way from home.
Schools, too, can cooperate IN
Offering constructive organized
play. There is nothing that slim
ulates good clean interests as
much as athletic competition.
cone of the fine improvements
which is going a long way toward
building up the interest of young
people in the farm industry is
the organization of boys and girls,
clubs in farm communities. Boys
who have a chance to raise prize
pigs and calves on their own
hook; girls who can carry out
gardening and dressmaking pro-
iects are most certainly going to
take a greater interest in farming
and their farm home when they
feel they have a part in it and can
actually turn their efforts into
money earned.
81 feel very hopeful about our
youth Of today, and / am sure with
the many new opportunities that
are offered today, that home and
school can work together to turn
out better product mentally,
physically and spiritually than has
been done before

LEOPOLD DAVID
 DIES SUDDENLY

Leopold David, known to almost everyone in Alaska as "Judge David," passed away suddenly at the hour of 1O:3O on the night of Nov. 21, 1924, from an attack of heart trouble.
 The end came entirely unexpected to his family.
 Judge David was born in Brook lyn, N. Y., and was about 52 years of age. He was a veteran of the Spanish-American War, and came to Alaska about 20 years ago from the Philippines, where he saw ser vice. He was first engaged on the Alaska Central railroad, which was then in course of construction. Later he became United States Commis- sioner at Knik, and came to Anchor age in 1916, when the Alaska Rail road created the town.
 On the incorporation of Anchorage in 1921, Judge David became the towns first Mayor, and was reel ected in 1922.
 Judge David has enjoyed general corporation practice, as we'll as ac- cepting criminal practices in the dis trict courts.
 Judge David was prominent Ma son, an Odd Fellow and an Elk.
 Besides his widow, Judge David leaves two children, Kathryn and Leopold Jr., to mourn his loss.-An- chorage Daily Alaskan.
