AN EXCELLENT REPORT
It cost well over half millions dollars to educate
Alaska’s 5,071 school children in the Territory’s 89
schools for the last fiscal year ending June 30, 1930,
according to Commissioner of Education L. W. Breuer,
in his report to Governor Parks.
The report, a comprehensive survey of school ac
tivities and developments over a period of the last 10
years, shows a healthy growth during the decade. The
total enrollment increased 50% during that period.
There are at present 4,233 children attending elemen
tary schools and 838 in high schools.
Sixty-five per cent of all funds expended for edu
cation went for instruction, and the remainder for
operation of plants, maintenance of plants, capital out
lay, miscellaneous and other expenses. The cost per
pupil was $141.07, a figure which, considering the en
rollment, the better schools, better paid teachers, is
very moderate, indeed.
The number of teachers in the Territory has
grown since 1920 from 164 to 253, and represents a
standard of training considerably higher than the staffs
of former years. Figures show that 79% of the teachers
employed then were normal or college or university
graduates, whereas today 94% of all teachers employed
are normal, college or university graduates. It is also
indicated that our teachers in Alaska today have had
more post graduate work than those of former days.
Included in the Commissioner’s report is a picture
of the new Seward school, with full description of the
plan of the building, which is held as “one of the fine
modern schools of Alaska.”
A PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION
_ i
The stragetic location of Seward again demon- \
st rated in a practical manner with the arrival Friday
of the SS Alameda fro mthe south.
On board came Attorney Robertson from Juneau ;
and Judge E. Coke Hill from his Valdez court head- j
quarters. From the fair city of Anchorage, 114 miles
northwest of Seward, arrived Attorney Morton.
That evening a special court case was heard and
the next day all returned to their separate offices via
train and steamer.
Need more be said?
Almost every Alaskan has known for years that
the Biological Survey set aside Nunivak and other is
land as a game sanctuary with respert to conducting
breeding experiments, yet the Alaska delegate, before
the special reindeer committee, had the afrontry to
charge the Lomen Reindeer Company with a monopoly
by reason of the fact they have a trading post on the
island. Chief Redington set the committee right with
very few words. Again we say, the delegate’s fights of
the many past years, has cost the Territory dearly.
Temperance, not teetolism, is the motto of Capt.
Boney Ridley, 89-year-old North Carolina mountaineer.
The Captain says: “It is true than in my youth I would
drink a bit, but for the last 15 years I have been taper
ing down until now I notice that if I drink over a pint
at one time it has a tendency to go to my head.” Three
cheers for the oldtimer!
Yesterday, March 1, came in like a lamb, so, ac
cording to ancient belief, the end of March should de
part into the past roaring like an infuriated lion.
It is a strange thing but upon good authority it is
said Arctic explorers sleep in snow houses with the!
doors open, the snow and the heat from their bodies
keeping them warm.
Selling apples may help some, but it will hardly
get to the core of the unemployment problem.

(By Special Correspondent)
On Feburary 16 the joys of
maternity and paternity were vis- ■
ited upon Mr. and Mrs. Julian
Morrison by the birth of a daugh- j
ter. Both mother and infant are i
now in splendid health and all
concerned extremely happy.
Captain John Brodtkcorp, of
the gasboat Takli, returned on
Feburary 17th from Seward with
i J ess Blinn acting as supercargo,
j The Takli was engaged by Ole
| Olson, employed at the O 'Kraft
j & Sons to carry his sister in
j law, Miss Martha Larson to the
Seward General Hospital for treat
ment. She was suffering from an
acute attack of appendicitis and j
an affliction of one of her lungs.
Her condition was very serious
upon her departure from Kodiak.
John Strom and Jess Blinn vol
unteered their services and as
I sisted Captain Brodtkcorp in the
| trip from Kodiak to Seward. Mr. j
j Strom is returning on the SS. Far- !
i ragut.
i Horace S. Abbert, owner of the j
| Abbert Ranch, located a few miles
out of the Village of Kodiak, is j
j a passenger aboard the SS- Far- j
j ragut bound for Seattle and thence
j to Boston, where he will arrange
| certain matters connected with;
> the ranch, and which if success- j
. ful will mean the enlargement of
; his ranch holdings and a sub- j
j stantial increase in his stock
, herds. Mr. Abbert expects to re
: turn to Kodiak on the April sail
i ing of the Watson.
_
Captain Peter Wold, former
j owner of two halibut vessels and
j now operating a cannery at Port
| Williams arrived in Kodiak aboard
i the SS. Farragut, and is return
ing on the same vessel as far as
Seward where he expects to con
summate a deal whereby a suit
able cannery tender will be chart
ered for the summer opera
tions. Captain Wold reports very
gloomy prospects for the canner
ies in Southeastern Alaska, and
states that some 30 canneries will
remain idle and inoperative dur-!
ing the approaching fishing sea
son.
Mr. M. Carl Almy, prominent
and well known attorney of Se
ward arrived in Kodiak on the j
January trip of the SS- Farragut, |
enjoying a much deserved rest af
ter a year’s arduous work in Se
ward. Judge Almy is highly elated
at the prospects of Kodiak to soon i
enjoy a substantial and material (
prosperity and feels assured that
with the publ'c spirit being shown
by the business people of the
Village there Is no question that
with the advent of Spring com
mercial gloom will take wing and
leave the Dove of prosperity hov
ering and cooing above the peace
ful and beautiful scenes of the
town. Judge Almy is departing for
his Seward headquarters on the
February trip of the Farragut.
The Rev. N. Kashevaroff, pas- I
tor of the local Russian Greek
Catholic Church, departed last
week aboard the SS. Starr for
the Westward, in order to answer
the spiritual call of his many
parishioners located along the Al
eutian Peninsula, and will return
to Kodiak on the return of the
Starr next week.
