KETCHIKAN’S HIGH SCHOOL
There seems to be an under
current of opposition, relative
to a full high school course
for Ketchikan’s public school,
substituting in lieu thereof a
commercial course.
This obsructional view I be
lieve is based entirely on econ
omy.
Economy intelligently applied
in Ihe administration of public
or private affairs, is synony
mous with business success,
therefor it is incumbent upon
the City Council and Board of
Education, that, the business of
the City be conducted as econ
nomically as is consistent with
sound business judgement, but,
from time to time, in all public
and private affairs, when econ
omy practiced too rigidly becom
cs an extravagance, inasmuch
as the benefits derived revert
to the few, and not to the
whole.
Such I feel would be the re
sult, were your advocacy sus
cessful in substituting a com- j
mercial course, for a full high
school course.—If you success
fully oppose this measure, you
will work an injury upon the
youth of your city, by coupon
ing parents to send their child- j
ren away, to obtain the bene
fits of a full high school course,!
thus, removing them from par
ental influence at the most
formative age of their lives, j
which is most deplorable.
If your economical argument
should prove successful, you
are robbing our boys and girls
of what is justly their due, and
by views far from progressive,
you attempt to destroy one of
Ihe most valuable assets of a
growing, thriving community.
The gentlemen who have serv
ed upon the Board of Education
during my incumbency as clerk, j
have always been unanimously
in favor of a full high school
course, together, with a com
mercial course, provided the
__
necessary funds wore available.
This matter has been put ip
tn every ways and means com
mittee, of every town of any
considerable size in the United
States, and, when put before
(he people properly, funds have
always been forthcoming.
Aside from all personal feel
ing, let us provide an adequate
educational institution for the
children of Ketchikan, at which
they may point with pride, and,
which if taken advantage of.
will fit (hem, in (he years Ilia',
are to come, for a fidler dis
charge of any duty in which
they may be engaged.
The criticism of public of
ficials is proper, and, is the
privilege of every citizen, but,
the lines of dcniarkalion are st>
finely drawn, when criticisms
cease, and changes begin, that
singl dimension minds are
prone to flounder beyond their
depth!
From time immemorial the
human race has considered il in
conceivably cowardly to knife
one another in Ihe back, such
an act is paralleled only by un
just critisism, and, thinly veiled
innuendoes,made solely for the
purpose of manufacturing pol
itical hash.
It is such.conditions augment
ed from year to year, that
makes it difficult for the voters
of Ketchikan, to prevail upon
her citizens to accept public
office. -i
These broad minded men
who have held public offices in
the past, at the call of their
.fellow citizens, have accepted
the trust, knowing how thank
less was the assumed burden,
giving the best that was in them
to the administration of public
affairs, at considerable person
al sacrifice; their selection
being made by their compeers,
for their known broad view of
life, and business integrity, feel
ing that such choice was an
incalculable influence toward
betterment of the whole.
ITS A HAPPY
YOUNG COUPLE
that leaves the laundry ques
tion to us. They can always be
absolutely eertain of the dainti
> ness of their shirtwaists, shirts
collars, handkerchiefs, under
wear, etc. Why have your pret
home mussed up once a week
when you can have the launder
| - ing done here so much better.

It is just such public spirited
citizens, who have blazed the
trails, rolling the boulders out
of the way, making it possible
for others who are peevishly
discontented, to come into the
country and make an easy living.
In view of the above, this
slogan of extravagance, looks
like an effort to inject an ele
ment of discord into a body
that has been singularly free
from flickering and cross pur
poses, and, whichl believe can
not lie foisted upon the voters
of Ketchikan.
I feel confident that the par
ents, and all who have the wel
fare of the youth of Ketchikan
at heart, will stand firmly with
the City Council, and Board of
Education in these matters edu
cational, giving them their
hearty co-operation.
Let us take an unselfish, sane,
common sense view of this
matter, and all pull together a
long the lines most benificial
to the whole.

Clerk, Board of Education.

BIG TUNNEL FINISHED
What will go down in the
mining world as a remarkable
achievement in tunnel work for
the (lislance driven in a given
time, for economy in getting
the maximum out of labor and
machinery, for few accidents,
and for engineering accuracy.,
saw its culmination in the com
pletion of the Sheep creek tun
at 3 o’clock this morning
promptly on schedule.
Col.D. C. Jackling. vice-presi
dent of the Alaska Gaslineau
company; F. G. Janney, mills
managerjif. B. Tooker, private
secretary to Mr. Jackling; B. L.
Thane, general manager of the
work here; Assistant Manager
Whipple, and Engineer Wall
enberg, visited the scene of the
work yesterday and returned to
town. At 3 o'clock this morning
I*. IT. O’Neil, in charge of the
Sheep creek crew, telephoned
to Manager Thane that the con
nection was made. When the
drill struck through the open
ing of the thin wall of rock the
crews on both sides grabbed it
and there was a regular tug of
war for possession, "‘Paddy” O’
Neil's crew finaly regaining
possession of the drill. A fea
ture of the tunnel work was the
fact that the twocuts when they
met fitted exactly as regards
width, elevation and all meas
urements. When finally con
nected today and the rough
rock hewn smooth it was im
possible lo tell where one left
off and the other began. The
entire distance driven since
Nov. 1st, 1912, to April 1st, 19
1A, is 10,497 feet. The cut is
cSxlo feel. The crews were ar
ranged in six hour shifts, each
shift consisting of one shift
boss, eight machine men, six
muckers, one car man, one
motor man, one brakemnn,
and three men on the air and
ventilating pipes on the ditch
and floor.—Juneau Dispatch, o‘
April 1st.
