Physical Examination
School Requirement

The regular school term will
open Tuesday. September 5, at 900
a. m. Grades seven and eight and
the high school will remain during
the morning session only. Grades one
to six inclusive will remain in
school through the entire day.

will be required to secure a physi-
cal examination. Those not seeur-
ing the examination before school
opens will be sent for examination
at a time convenient to Dr. Glenn
ents.
The prompt enrolment of all chill
dren is urged. Late enrolment of
grade pupils places the pupil at a
disadvantage with the group and
adds an unnecessary burden to the
school. High school pupils enrolling
late may have difficulty in arrang-
ing a satisfactory daily program.
Possible pupil and class adjustments
must be made during the early days
of the term.
Children below the compulsory at
tendance age, and wishing to enter
school for the first time will not be
permitted to enroll after a reason
able elapse of time following the op-
ening of school. Children entering
the first grade must be six years of
age before February 1st of next
year. This is a legal requirement
and no exceptions will be considered,
New faculty members this year
will be Miss Carlquist for the Third
Grade, Mr.. Evans for English,
Speech, and Dramatics and Miss
Wadsworth for Home Economics and

Fr. Mcnamara Finds Alas. Different
From What He Expected

The Ursuline nuns conduct mis-

Father Mcnamara feels that it is
privilege to follow Father Monroe
at Wrangell as his record is an in
spiration to all On Wednesday the
Wrangell congregation assisted at
Mass for the Feast of ST. Rose de
Lima and received holy communion
for the intention of Father Monroe,
the pastor, to whom they are indebt-
ed for the church that bears the
name of st. Rose.
When Father Monroe came to
Wrangell he found a church build
ing in ruins almost hidden from the
street by a rank growth of brush
and alders.
With funds collected mainly by
himself he rebuilt and renovated the
church, built rectory with central
heating for the two buildings and
Handicapped the church grounds into
one of the most beautiful spots in
Wrangell. Best of all was his build
ing and strengthening of the con-
gregation.
The church is not completed but
Father Mcnamara says that mem
bers of the congregation have ex-
pressed their determination to carry
out Father Monroes plans in the
completion of the interior and con-
struction of a new front to the
church.

The Rev. E. A. Mcnamara, S. j.,
from Gonzaga University at Spo-
kane, who came to Alaska last April
with Bishop Fitzgerald to stay two
weeks which has heightened to four
months, said today that should he re-
ceive notice to remain in Alaska he
would be very happy and if assigned
to Wrangell he would be pleased.
Father Mcnamara has been giving
retreats to the sisters in Alaska. He
spent five weeks in Ketchikan and
three weeks in Juneau then visited
Skagway, Dawson, Fairbanks, Mt.
Mckinley Park, Seward, Valdez and
Cordova before coming to Wrangell
last week.
He has enjoyed his trip in Alaska
and found it altogether different
from what he had heard and expect
ed to see. His first impression, he
says, was the grandeur of the seem
cry and the fact that Alaska was not
a frozen land. He was totally un-
prepared for the year round mild
coastal climate or the summer heat
of the interior.
There are approximately rs sis
tiers engaged in the work of the
Catholic church in Alaska. None OF
the sister are clustered and almost
all are occupied either as teach
ers in the church schools or nurses
in the hospitals. Four orders are
represented.
At Ketchikan there are nine Sis
tiers of st. Joseph of Newark at the
hospital. The Sisters of st. AIMS
conduct a day school and hospita'
at Juneau, mission schools at Skag
way, Holy Cross and Nulato, and 6
day school and hospital at Dawson.

A daughter and heir Of the
founder of the famous Cunard
White Star steamship line, she
bears the title of Lady Nancy
Cunard but prefers being known
as plain Nancy Cunard. Desert
ing what she considered the
"shams'' of nobility many years

years Miss Cunard has been chief
correspondent for the Associated

A large part of her time is

years ago edited and compiled a
large and comprehensive antho-
