Nearly every mail brings to us
letters of inquiry from many of the
■mall settlements along the coast
»f Alaska, seeking information in
regard to the education of the chil
dren. The children are very anx
ious to learn; and the parents are
more than anxious to have them
taught. In some instances when
the necessary funds could be spared
from the family’s meagre hoard
ings, the children have been sent
out to the Indian school in Wash
ington. But there are not manv
who care to thus part with their
offspring, and not have an oppor
tunity to see them again in a num
ber of years.
At one settlement on Prince Wil
liam sound where there arc ten
or more children of school age, the
inhabitants are ready to build a
school house, but there is no visi
ble means of paving a teacher. At
another place on the coast where
there are over thirty children, they
have a school house and occasion
ally a mission teacher, where the
teaching goes on for a couple of
months in a year, and just al>out
the time the children are begin
ning to understand a study the
school is closed, and before it is
opened again they have forgotten
the subject.
Although we are in possession of
Alaska for about 35 years, Russia
still maintains a number of schools
here where there is more attention
given to the Russian language ami
Russian institutions than to any
thing American,
Alaska is a good producer, turn
ing into the government funds suf
ficient to warrant the government
in giving every child within our
borders a fair education.
It is true that Sheldon Jackson
is sent here occasionally as superin
tendent of education, to attend to
such affairs, hnt he is also given
the responsibility of looking after
the reindeer industry of Alaska.
Jie cannot very well attend to both,
and if, as it would seem, his serv
ices are more valuable in the rein
deer business, then why not split
up his dual position, and put in
charge a man whose duty it shall
be to attend strictly to the educa
tional question, and whose resid
ence must be in Alaska. This lat
ter is a very important point. The
correspondence educational system
way be all right in enlightened
communities, but it will not do in
Alaska.
We have a great coast line with
settlements all along. A superin
leuueni wno comes up on one ol
the first summer bouts intending
to leave in the early fall, can at
tend to very little else than travel
ing. And it looks too much like
paying a man to leave Washington
lor a summer’s vacation.
There has never been any at
tempt made to educate the na ives
of the interior; if educated they
would be found to )>e very bright
and useful. If some attempt was
made in that direction a good, live
superintendent would know the
needs of the country, and would
make the necessary recommenda
tions to the bureau of education,
pud with every probability that
