HISTORY OF ITII
IS IN PREPARDNESS j
SAYS CHIEF. STAFF;
MAJOR GENERAL CHARLES P.
SUMMERALL ADDRESSES NAT
ION AL ENCAMPMENT
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Sept. 21. <#>)—
The theory that preparedness for war
prevents war has been evidenced in
United States history, which shows;
that, the only time this country was i
1 prepared for war in its 150 years of j
I existence, it prevented the firing of a
| single shot “by gesture alone, backed
by force,” the Chief of Staff of the
I Army, Major General Charles P. Sum- j
merall, declared in an address before
the 28th annual national encampment
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of
the United States, at Providence, R. I.
This instance, the Army Chief of
Staff said, was during the Civil War,
when France, “realizing that we had
our hands full at home and expected
no embarrassment on account of the
Monroe Doctrine, placed Maximilian
on a throne in Mexico and backed
him by her armies.”
After diplomatic exchanges be
tween the United States and France,
he added, the demand w'as made that
the French armies be withdrawn from
Mexico, and to emphasize this demand
General Sheridan was sent into Texas
with 50,000 veteran troops. The Em
peroor of France, he added understood
and withdrew his armies.
The fishing boat Arctic arrived in
port last evening from the banks.
The S. S. Redondo, of the Alaska
Steamship company, returned to port
; this morning from a short voyage
J Westward. The Redondo will await
l the arrival of the S. S. Aleutian before
leaving again for the Westward area.

TERRITORIAL SCHOOL i
HELD PRESENTS FACTS
ON GROWTH ALASKA;
_
STATISTICS ARE COMPILED, TEN
YEARS AGO WITH PRESENT
DAY, SCHOOLS
The principal speaker at yester
day’s meeting of the Chamber of Com
I merce, was Lester D. Henderson, Com-;
jmissioner of Education, Territorial
| schools of Alaska. And Mr. Hender
son presented conclusive evidence, in
the nature of figures, which smashes
to “smithereens” the statement re
cently made by a United States Sena
tor, that the schools of Alaska had de
creased enormously in the last ten and
20 years.
Checking back to a period of ten
years ago and comparing the figures
of that date with those of today, he
uncovered the following illuminating
data;
Last years’s school service ended '
with a growth of 27 per cent in num
ber of schools. There were but 64
schools 10 years ago. Today there are
81.
Ten years ago the high school en
ment of 3,341; today this number has;
been increased "to 4,673, an increase |
of 40 per cent.
Ten years ago the elementary en-1
.rollment was 3,030 as against 4,013 of
today, an increase of 32 per cent.
Ten years ago hte high school en-!
rollment was 311; today it is 669, an j
increase of 115 per cent.
Ten years ago there were 145 teach
ers employed; now there are 216,
which is an increase of 49 per cent.
How do these figures sound?
Ten years ago there were 29 high
school graduates; last y6ar there
were 96, an increase of 231 per cent.
Ten years ago graduates from the
elementary' grades totalled 112; last
year there were 238 graduates, an in
crease of 113 per cent.
Ten years ago there were but six
high schools in Alaska. Today there
are 13 or an increase of 117 per cent.
Ten years ago there were three ac
credited high schools. In this present
day and age there are eight; an in
crease of 167 per cent.
Ten years ago the average salary
of a superintendent or principal was
$1,664. Today they are receiving an
■ average salary of $2,256, an increase
jof 59 per cent.
Ten years ago high school teachers
were paid an average salary of $1,226;
today they are receiving $1,690, an in
crease of 38 per cent.
Ten years ago elementary teachers,
in incorporated towns, were receiving
an average salary of $1,144; they are
getting $1,538 now, an increase of 34
per cent. Outside of incorporated
towns they are enjoying an increase
of 39 per cent.
Ten years ago the per capita cost
of education was $106. Today it is
$135, due largely to increased salar
ies. This is an increase of 27 per cent.
Ten years ago there was spent the
sum of over $272,000 for the operation
of Territorial schools; Last year over
$509,000 was appropriated for this
purpose, an increase of 82 per cent.
These figures not only indicate the
growth of Alaska, from a school stand
point, but is certainly a barometer
with which one can guage not 'only
development of the Territory, but the
increased permanancy of its residents.
Not so bad when one gets' the facts,
what!
Mr. Henderson added much other
general information which for lack
of space in today’s issue will appear
tomorrow.
