The journey Outside carried them across the continent. to the Atlantic seaboard and while East MT. Peyser spent considerable time with his parents whom he had not visited for six years. MT. Peyser almost decided to take trip across to Europe prior to leaving New York but changed his mind at the last moment and spent the time at home. Conditions everywhere he found were excellent but Alaska looks the best of all and he is mighty glad to be back
 Credit must be given MT. Peyser for endeavoring to do his bit in pop- ulating the Territory for he brings back with him a number of relatives. MT. and Mrs. Lavell and their two children They will make their home in Anchorage where MT. LaveN an- ticipates finding work as a machin- ist. For several years past they have been residents of Seattle but after listening to an Alaskan booster, of the type of Max, they responded to the Gall of the North"
 While in the East MT. Peyser states he saw George Greenfield, another relative of his and former resident of Seward MT. Greenfield is now part owner in $15O,0OO printing establishment and is we'll on the road to fame and fortune. In view of the fact he is doing so we'll back there Mir. Peyser said it useless for him to try and talk George to come back where he be- longs.

The students nearly POO in number, are our children and We want them to be the best men and women that We can make them Are we giving them the ehanee2
 The buildings are as they are because it has been impossible to have done anything else with them. Whenever it has become necessary to make changes, the authorities. both city and school. have done the very best they could with the means on hand The time has come. however, when more than that is necessary, and it is for the voters to decide what shall be done If the proposed bond issue fails to carry by the required 65 percent. It will be some years before the yo- ters will have an opportunity again to remedy existing conditions. Meanwhile increasing repairs will have to be made. Tn the past, more than one thousand dollars have been expended for this item each year, in one period of two years the amount running over S2.60O.
 To spend money for a new build ing is good business. Shabby. in- adequate school houses are no as= set to any town. The contrast they make in 1Wrangell to the homes and other commendable feathers of the town is a disgrace. The first question asked by the head of a family when he eontemplates lo- eating here is: What kind of schools have you?" The man who is not concerned with that matter for his children is not the kind of citizen whose locating here perma- nently would add greatly to the up- building of the town. The men and women who are here now, whose children will benefit. or who have some pride in Wrangell, have the power to make it possible to do as other towns and cities of this diYi sion have done. build a new school. Juneau. Ketchikan, Sitka and Pe- tersburg voted bonds and have new buildings. Why not Wrangell?
