 (2) The ten month term as now used is divided as follows:
 a-36 weeks instruction, which is the normal school term.

 done week Easter vacation. con pay)
 During the past year Seward used the institute week in regular instruc- tion and also reduced the Christmas vacation to one week, making total of 36 weeks instruction and two of vacation. This seemed better than permitting too long break in school work. With no more holiday activity than occurs in Seward, two weeks at Christmas is a waste of time. It seems that for the past two years, the week vacation at Easter was not used by the pupils for the observance of religious ceremonies for which the week is intended. The break in in struction was a distinct obstacle in classroom work. The elimination of these idle periods and consequent shortening of the school term will be educationally advantageous and fin ancially economical.

REDUCE SCHOOL TERM TEN MONTHS ID NINE SUPT. RECOMMENDS
SUGGESTS HIGH SCHOOL QUAR- TIERS BE MOVED BACK TO
 GRADE BUILDINGS
ELIMINATE JUNIORS, SENIORS
Favors Prohibiting Teachers From Engaging In Other Gainful
 Occupations

Recommending that the Seward school term be reduced from ten months to nine months, the normal length of school terms elsewhere, thereby saving the city the sum of at least S1,400 per annum; cutting down the high school faculty staff, eliminating the junior and senior classes and move the high school back to the grade school building; and prohibiting teachers to engage in any other gainful occupation, are the high-lights in the recommends tions for the Seward schools for the year 1926-1927, as submitted to the City Council by Guy D. Barnett, school superintendent, persuant to their request. The recommendations were read at last evenings council meeting. The report was ordered filed, following its reading and the clerk was instructed to write MT. Barnett, in behalf of the City Coun- cil, vote of thanks.
 The report is printed intact as fol lows:
 I. It is recommended that the length of the term of school be re duced from a ten month to a nine month term.
 CD The adopted course of study for Alaska can be very easily and thoroughly covered in nine months especially when the grade enrolment is so low as at present, which enables pupils to receive more individual in struction than if the enrolment were heavy.

PRINCE AGAIN
WEDS PRINCESS
DURING DAY

BRUSSELS, Nov. g. 49, up - Princess
Astrid of Sweden and Crown Prince
Leopold of Belgium, united by civil
wedding in Stockholm last Thursday,
tomorrow viii be married by Catholic
ceremony in the cathedral of St Gu
due
In the medieval setting OF Brussels
most beautiful and historic grand pail
ace, the Belgian capital today officially
received Princess Astrid. While her re-
ception on the second day of her pres
ence in Belgium was of an official
character, it's warmth and 'spontanalety
came from the hearts of the people.
Fully 100000 persons turned out to
greet the little lady of the SHOWS,
who looked radiantly happy in the sun
shine which beamed upon the day in
contrast with the dismal rain of yes
terday. Leopold, in the uniform OF
lieutenant of grenadiers, appeared to-
be striving to keep his happiness from
too exuberant display, but when 300
brass instruments, composed of vari-
Gus military bands began to play, he
stood at attention and his eyes were
visibly moist. The princess looked
very sweet in pink dress trimmeG
with gray fur and wearing simple
great coat adorned with otter. Her hat
set off her bright youthful features,
and she had more the appearance OF a.
school girl on a holiday than a bride
of tomorrow. Two kings, two queens,
four princesses and as many princes
formed the encourage which left King
Albert's palace this afternoon for the
official reception. But Brussels had
eyes only for Astrid, who bore herself
with great dignity and continually re-
sponded to the homage of her future
subjects with beaming smiles and ac-
knowledging gestures.

nEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:
~ "a How are shoe string
potatoes eaten? May one use the
fingers?
(2l Is strawberry shortcake
eaten with q fork or spoon?
(3) When two knives are placed
alongside the plate. which one is
intended for the butter knife
when there is apparently no diff
ference in the size?
"a When silver is placed on
, the table. are the spoons and
forks so arranged that they are
to be used in the order they are
placed, or must one pick them
out?
(0 Is dessert placed in the
center or to the right when
everything is placed on the table
together? X.
NAT shoe string potatoes with
IL a fork. Do not use the
fingers for foods that will soil
them, If you can possibly avoid
it. Shoe string potatoes are part
of the meat course, and that is
another reason why they should
be eaten with q fork.
e Strawberry shortcake is eaten
with a fork. You see, dear lady,
you Just must get to like your
fork! Nowadays it's the most
popular of utensils-as witness
the number of new kinds we are
having devised for US. We USED
to eat ice cream with a spoon
we thought it was the only way
that ice cream should be eaten.
But now-every housewife wants
the attractive ice cream forks.
(3) If there is really no an
ference in size. the one on the
outside. that is farthest from the
plate. would be taken for use tor
the butter. The reason Is that
it would be used before the other
fork, which would be the dinner
fork
a. Yes, in setting a cover
you place a piece of silver Tor
everything that Is to be served
up to the dessert course, You
place the knives and spoons on
the right and the forks on the
left. And you place them in the
order in which they are to be
used-beglnning on the outside
and working toward the plate.
You see. this makes it very sim
pie, and IL We remember this
rule we are spared the humilla'
ton of that desperate moment
of choosing the wrong fork.
90 My dear lady. everything
should not be placed on the table
together. No possible rule could
apply to that arrangement. and
it would be most unpleasant
thing to do. And one not neces-
sary, even in serviceless house
holds. Have your dessert ready
to be served, and serve 1t after
the other course has been re-
moved.

answer questions on etiquette
