An experienced faculty. picked
educators from the best schools in
the south. with proven worth. has
been selected by the Brownsville
school board for the Brownsville
Junior college, which opens Sep
TENDER 8.
The selection has been made
from a wide field. and teachers
have been chosen from numerous
applications in practically all por-
tons OF southern United States.
Because OF the excellence OF
the Valley climate. and because of
the wide publicity being given this
section as both a summer and
winter resort, the local school
board has more applications than
II knows what to do with. ii Is
said.
G. w. Gotke, B. a.. M. A., who
succeeded Thos. j. Voc as super
intendent OF the Brownsville
school plant in 1927, Is still in
active charge. being president OF
the college. Mr.. Gotke, who came
to Brownsville from San Antonio.
received his b. A. and NJ. "A. degrees
from the University of Iowa. and
also took several courses later in
the University Of Texas. In 1927
Mr.. Gotke came to Brownsville as
a member OF the college faculty,
but was recalled to San Antonio
TO resume his work as principal
OF the Breckenridge high school.

Brownsville S
Schools
TXJHEN home seekers are deciding
wv upon a place to live about three
~ prime questions present them

vxTHEN home seekers are deciding
wv upon a place to live about three
" prime questions present them
selves in making a selection.
These in the order named usual
" are the churches. schools and
taxes. If one counted on moving
to a community and he found there
were no churches Of any denomi-
nations. would he not decide to
make his home elsewhere, II hu-
manly possible?
Next, when a family considers a
change, schools for their children
become a paramount factor in Sc
lecting a city IN which 10 live. Man
must have a place TO worship, he
can send his children away to school
but how much better IL the schools
are already there.
Usually the step OF inquiry Is
how much a community will tax him
to reside there. If he is a poor man
and the taxes are too high he can
not own property, and If a wealthy
man, it does not matter so much.
TN all OF these matters Browns
vile is proud TO open its book
Of facts to the world. and es-
pecially is this true with respect 70
her schools.
Handsome buildings. equipped
with all modern ideas for conven-
fence and efficiency. A faculty
ranking with the best that can be
offered by any community, Browns
Vile offers a junior college. a high
school and grade and parochial
schools to fit the needs and desires
Of the msot particular. The city IS
proud Of them all.
A NEWCOMER to the Valley can
u enter children In the schools OF
- Brownsville, graduate them o
the grammar schools on through
the high school and then give them
two years college work in Tree
schools, If they desire.
The Junior college Is affiliated
with the University of Texas and
schools of like degree and a stu
dent finishing here can enter and
in two years away from home COM
plete courses, which otherwise four
years must be spent In some other
city to gain the same credits nj
Is a matter Of no small expense and
concern when considered in the light
Of convenience and economy.
MOT only do these schools offer
IN mental gymnastics and edu-
~ cation but within recent years
the Brownsville high school has
taken athletic rank which makes IL
a rival for the best teams in the
state. In football last year the
High School Eagles swept through
the district 10 lose TO Port Arthur
in a game still living in the minds Of
brownsville fans. The main point
Of this Is that the Valley. where 1t
ii is supposed TO be warm even late
In the fall, Is becoming football
conscious and it has been found
can turn out teams 10 vie with the
best.
Soon there is promised a team
which will 90 TO the finals, and II
Is this interest which has recently
peen stirred which will make our
high school sports a major object
In attending school here.
THE parochial schools augment
ing the public schools in gen.
eral education offer courses OF
a like standard to the public schools
and add IN atmosphere and an in
dividual touch for those willing to
take advantage Of them.
In other words Brownsville has a
school system hard to beat, just TO
use a slang phrase.

ALASKAN" THE NEW NAME
 OF COAST FLYER TRAINS

The Alaskan" will be the new name of a transcontinental train operating between Chicago and the Pacific northwest.
 D. E. Nelson, passenger traffic manager of the Northern Pacific, has announced that the name Alas kan" will be given transcontinental trains Nos. and 4 which run be- tween Seattle and Chicago. Hereto fore, these trains have been called the Comet" which name will here after be used exclusively for the Yel- lowstone Comet, which is operated by the Northern Pacific between Chicago and Yellowstone Park dur ing the park season.
 With the increase of nationwide interest in Alaska, its recreational and industrial possibilities, the "Al- askan" has been chosen as an appro- priate name for a train operating between the middle west and the Pacific, where steamers are boarded for the Alaskan cruise. Travel by vacationists to the scenic areas of Alaska each year has shown in- creases, and, with the enlargement of the steamship accomodations this year, the Northern Pacific, by nam ing one of it's transcontinental pas senger trains the Alaskan, gives recognition to this current trend of travel, MT. Nelson said.
 Besides standard sleeping cars, observation car coaches and through dining car between Chicago and Se-- attle the equipment of the Alas kan" will include tourist sleeping cars. Tourist cars were added to these trains, and 4, on the west bound trip March 17 and the east bound trip March 20.

The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1930-07-11

Next Tuesday the voters of Roosevelt county
have certain rather important questions to decide
principally concerning the choice of county officials.
The editor of this paper wishes to say at the begin
ming that he has no license or desire to tell anyone
how they should vote. When it comes to voting he
will not either tell or be told. But friendly, frank,
conscientious counsel is something to both give
and take.
People from several we'll scattered parts of the
county have organized a taxpayers association and
placed before the voters a list of candidates which
will appear on the Republican ballot IN opposition
to most of the present incumbents. Now the editor
is sometimes asked, "How long do you think an Of
fetal should STAY in Office Our answer always is
'Just as long as the voters want him there, legal
stipulatiOns considered" Conducting the affairs OF
the county is a business proposition and the jobs OF
taking charge of the various departments are moth
ing to be handed out as rewards or plUms or charity
donations. Efficiency, proven ability and the interests
of our county are the points to be considered. An
other thing some may feel like considering is distrl-
button or representation. But no one can reasonably
claim the offices are not at present fairly distributed
over the county. After a man or woman takes office
they reside at the county seat but where they origin
ally had their residence is what counts.
The one thing we desire to counsel is, know the
truth from the best sources possible about these can
didates then vote for the candidate who in your
judgment will best serve the county and therefore
best serve your interests.
These so termed Economy candidates put up
by taxpayers" will be on the Republican ballot.
These are a few questions voters might inform them
selves on, with reference to this ticket. What proof
do they offer that they could and would practice
Economy as county officials? Are they all taxpay-
ers and do they have a habit Of paying their taxes?
The politics of a county official is perhaps a small
matter but it is highly desirable in a man that he be
what he labels himself. So, are they all Republicans?
Did they ever take such special interest in the eco
nonical affairs Of the county before they wanted

REAL COMMUNITY SPIRIT
(Great Falls Tribune)

One frequently hears the expounding of community spirit, com
munity loyalty, community vision. And now and then one encounters
an example that is as inspiring as it is illustrative. Dedication of
all Of northeastern Montana it was an occasion of manifest rejoicing.
The observer could not but be intensely impressed by this evidence
of the oneness of this entire region.
Northeastern Montana closed shop SO that it might participate
in the formal opening of the bridge that was acquired after years
of hope and effort, the bridge that removes an economic barrier
which has retarded development of a considerable area. The iso1a-
ton of northern McCone county is gone. The Missouri can no longer
forbid the business intercourse between the people OF the north side
of the stream and those on the south side.
These benefits and many others are apparent. 1t was to be
expected that under the circumstances the people of Wolf Point
and in northern McCone county would give expression to their re
joicing. But such a demonstration of unity of thought and ambition
covering a region larger than some states was rather to be unex-
pected by anyone whose experiences with communities usually has
been one of provincalsm circumscribed by a selhshness that is no
more than narrow jealousy.
The bridge celebration made it evident that northeastern Mon
tana, fully conscious that it is a definite part of the commonwealth,
recognizes that real development and progress is contingent in the
development and progress of each of its communities. Thus north
eastern Montana will grow as IN area The spirit of accomplishment
will conquer difficulties The consciousness of oneness in interest
and purpose will prevail in great attainment

THE INTERNATIONAL TOUCH

A great assemblage of people such as gathered at Wolf Point
Wednesday, with hearts and minds responding to one common i'm
pulse is of the nature of an event such as shape the destinies of
and of nations. If people could get in harmony and touch the
world over the work of peace conferences would be far easier. 1t
was fine to meet our own Montanans and the citizens of neighbor
states but there was a special glow of warmth that quickened the
among us, exchanging with us words of genuine friendship congrat-
ulahon, and even popularity. Perhaps n o other two great countries of
the world, situated with only a imaginary line between them en-
terrain such cordial sentiments toward each other, as the Dominion
of Canada and the United States. We who are so fortunate as to
live in America do not know the full meaning of hate and fear.
And may we never learn it.
