^HENDERSON TALKS
HKiHSCHOOL
R. I), Henderson, Territorial Com
missioner of Education delivers inter
esting talk.
A public reception was held at the
Seward School, Saturday afternoon for
Mr. R. D. Henderson. Dr. .Sloan,' as
President 'of the School Board, intro
duced Mr. Henderson with a few well
chosen remarks. •
Mayor Chamberlin, in a short but
much to the point speech assured Mr.
Henderson that the townspepole of
Seward could be depended upon to
give every possible support to any and
all plans for improving the school.
Then Mr. Henderson, a very able and
interesting speaker, outlined a con
structive plan for expanding the
, -chool. At the close of the speech an
jpeu forum was held for the discus
sion of various questions.
Tea was served by the faculty and
the high school girls assisted by serv
ing.
*‘Whab the schools of Seward be
come depends upon the people of Sew
ard. The Territory stands ready to
back them.” So said Mr. Henderson,
Commissioner of Education, of Alas-|
ka, at the public meeting -held Satur-.
Jay afternoon at the High School.
“The Seward school is very good so !
i’ar as it goer, but it needs to reach
out, spread out The grade teachers
are overlooked. The time is so ta
cen up with the essentials, that
those extra studies, domestic science,
art physical training, which are fast
oeing considered essentials, must be
ommitted. The high school of necessity
.nust broaden out. New courses must
be added, new departments installed.
This program of expansion means two
j things; an increase in the number of
.eachers, and additional room and
equipment.
“A year ago, the enrollment and |
prospective enrollment did not war- j
•_ *
ran| another teacher. Today they seem
to <fo so. The present high school en
rollment plus that of the present eigh
th gfeade Could make the addition ofi
another high school teacher an assur
ed fact This would mean, probably a
A
commercial department in the school.
Theih is no need of dwelling on the
importance to a community of a cour
se offering -typewriting , shorthand,
bookkeeping, etc., allowing for merely
the normal increase iii the number of
high school pupils, a four year high
school could be an institution of the
very near future.
“As to the expenses of additional
room and equipment the territory will
do a considerable share. The Terri
tory wMJ refund three-fourths of ten
percent^of the annual cost of mainten
ance, to be used for repairs, building
of additions, etc. The territory will al
so pay three fourths of the price of
equipment necessary for new courses,
such as domestic science, manual train
ing, coflimercial or science labratory I
9
equipment
“For years the people of Alaska
have bean sending out large sums of
money annually to keep their children
in schools outside. Is this good busi
ness? Is'this fair to Alaska?
* ’ If'bdShr schools up here do mean
more expensive schools, do they not
also mean simply the changing of
hands, of large sums of money in the
territory, not outside? What better
advertisement for a town, than first
"lass schools? What better inducement
for melt with families, than first chiss
schools ?
“Why should the children of Alas
ka be sent outside ? There are no bet
ter teachers anywhere, than we have
up h ire.
What the schools of lit ward become
e
depends upon the people of Seward. If
they care to keep their children in
chool in Seward, the territory stands
ready to back them'in every way.”

CHICAGO^, Nov., 22— One thou*- (
and persons are under arrest here to- j
day as the result of the biggest round
up of criminals which has been engin-:
cered in years. The drive started at
midnight headed by Chas. Fitzmorris
j the new Chief of Police. It is his sec
ond step in the campaign he announc
d to rid Chicago of criminals. The
recent shake up of the whole police
(Qicc in which nearly every member
was transferred to new positions was
his first move. Therplaces raided last
(light were scores of gambling houses
where more than a million dollars

Tourist travel by automobile
through the wilds of the great North
promises to be one of the features of
Alaskan life next season, according to
word brought south by steamships ar
iving this week. The Richardson road
improvement from the interior to Val
dez, it is pointed out, makes it possi
ble for auto tourists to loop the loop
over more than 1,000 miles of improv
ed roads in Yukon Territory and Al
aska.
Tourist travel over the Richardson
road promises to eclipse all previous
years in 1021. With algood auto road
open from salt water to Circte, auto
ists from the States may bring their
machines to Whitehorse, thence down
the scenic Yukon by government road;
thence to Circle by steamer, and out
over the Richardson road to Valdes,
I giving a swing of a thousand miles
over Alaska roads* through scenery
which rivals that of the Alps. *
