 March 26th, 1886 Wrangell School Board.
 Wrangell, Alaska
 CRe. Dismissal of Mir Ras-
 mussen, Supt Wrangell
 Schools:D
 l am ent 9ring for youI records this protest against the dismissal of MT Rasmussen, the resembling or entering into contracts with the school faculty for the ensuing year. II call to your attention tie deG- slons of attorney generals Rustgard and Truitt on this subject.
 J. R. Brown, without informipg z his petitioners to the Council went on the Board for the sole purpose ot dismiss.ng MT. Rasmussen in order hat his personal animus might be served. The part played in this instance is without justifi cation, whatsoever.
 Gong into the cnarges against Mr. Rasmussen 1 find
 He does not shave enough
 He lives outside the corporate limits of the town
 He takes too much room in the school house for his cnric collec- ton,
 He burns too much light 'n the school house at night.
 He adopted an Indian boy.
 Does shaving ones face have any thing to do with the operation of school, theatre or anything else ? Does the board require the faculty to own homes and live in the cor Porate limits of the town? Do the members themselves always own l their own homes? Does it make any difference whether a teacher pays his school tax in Wrangell or Point Barrow so long as it is paid ? Is payment of an automobile tax by a certain date necessary for the operation of the sehool-or th.a- tre? Did MT Rasmussen place the curio collection in the school house without the approval of the board and Is 1t something that disrupts the operation of the school Is this burning of few watts of light in the school house as costly to the city as the electricity that is vast ed lighting the streets during the day? Is it a crime or misdemean- or that a man shall adopt any child to give him the influence of chpr- acter environment and opportunity to develop into worthwhile citi- Aens?
 If your board will look into the record you will find that MT. Ras- mussen and Mrs. J. H. Wheeler were most strenuous in their effort to secure the present modern school plant and equipment and to secure to this town an accredited school MT. Rasmussen's part in and out of school hours and terms certainly was largely instrumental in securing the plant at reduced cost with still room for additional pupils.
 The sentiment of the people of the town certainly is not indiffer-

drawing a musical instrument ap-
pearing on the front page of a
prominent weekly. A college girl
is shown blowing what is supposed
to be a trombone. There is no
brace between the slide branches
near the mouthpiece. If such a
trombone were pulled apart, as is
frequently done, the slide tubes
would fall apart.
When a correct picture of a
trombone may be obtained by
dropping into any music store,
there seems to be little excuse
for making such mistakes. Then,
too, the girl is blowing out her
cheeks, which no real trombone
player does; and the Tyre for
holding the music would never
fit on any slide trombone.
In view of the fact that the
family that owns this great week
ly has also endowed and given
the family name to famous
music institute in Philadelphia,
the mistakes become the more
droll.

If you are one of those thin,
tense individuals, you probably
have a bad case of hurryitis
rushing to do this, straining to
do that.
You allow yourself too little
time to make too many appoint
ments, and fret about being late.
When you hop in taxi to save
time, it doesn't save your nerves.
Instead of relaxing and getting
your moneys worth, you perch on
the edge of the seat and tell the
driver to step on it," You arrive
all out of breath and tied up in
knots, and chances are you have
to wait for an easy-going friend,
anyway.
Some people are born relaXers,
while others must learn to relax.
1t is easier to hurry than to make
yourself go slowly, and you may
have to force yourself to take your
time. You might begin by taking
the advice of an old doctor, for
which he claims the secret of
keeping young.
He says, Nothing matters much
everything matters a little bit,
but nothing matters too much"
This neat bit of philosophy would
keep us from making mountains
out of molehillS and help us to
achieve calmness and serenity
Complete relaxation means
that you must free yourself of
muscular as well as mental ten
sion. Teach your muscles to relax.
