ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1917.
HIGHER EDUCATION.
The Seward public school board has taken the initiative
in the matter of petitioning the Alaska legislative assembly,
when it convenes in March, to make an appropriation for the
establishment of a high school in some town in each of the four
judicial divisions of Alaska, and asks the co-operation of An
chorage, as well as other towns, in this division, in presenting
a petition of similar import. There is an urgent need for a
high school, or college, whatever you may wish to term it, in
which the higher studies may be taught. It is quite proper
that one such school should be established in each of the tour
divisions of Alaska. In the present situation, pupils who grad
uate from our schools must needs go outside if they wish to en
joy better school advantages in the form of the higher educa
tion. Many of our permanent residents have found it neces
sary to send their boys ajxd girls—perhaps it would be better
to say, young men and young women—to the states to gain the
finishing touches of their education, because of the too limited
facilities that Alaska provides in this direction. Most parents
are rather reluctant to send their children outside, away from
home influences, in the formative period of their lives, and
would not do so if colleges were established in Alaska. We are
most heartily in favor of the Seward school board’s petition
and hope that the legislature will grant its prayer.
The matter of the location of the proposed high school, as
suming that the legislature will grant an appropriation for the
purpose, can be determined latex1. It will not do to cloud the
real issue by indulging iti a fight about location at this time.
That can be threshed out after the appropriation has been pro
vided. We presume at that time the claims of the various
towns will receive due and courteous consideration and that a
selection will be made on the basis of merit.
The petition recites? ■
We would respectfully call your attention to the matter of j
the higher education of the boys and girls of this territory who'
are rapidly growing up into young men and women, and would j
ask your consideration of the question as to how their higher
education can best be provided for. j
There ai‘e many children in the different judicial divisions
of the territory who have already obtained all the training- they j
can receive in the Nelson schools and the schools of the varioxis
municipalities, and the number^will rapidly increase from year!
to year. These schools do not and cannot pi-ovide adequate fa
cilities for the requisite higher education of these young people, j
Their education which has just begun must either cease when
they pass from these schools, or they must be sent to the states
for its continuance. Thus far in the development of the terri
tory there are not many parents who can afford to send their
children to the states for their further education, and in addi-1
lion to this fact those who have the welfare of this northern
country at heart feel that the territory should see that the youth
resident here have the opportunity for acquiring a first-class;
high-school education that will tit them for their duties in life,
and that those who desire it may here be prepared to enter the i
best colleges in the states.
We would thei-efoi-e petition your honorable bodies to ap
propriate from the territorial funds moneys sufficient to estab
lish and equip a first class high school building, dormitories and
boarding hall in each judicial division. The expense of such a
building would probably be not less than $30,000 for each divi
sion, while the annual maintenance for a teaching force would;
probably amount to about $20,000.
Suitable locations for such buildings can be had on request, j
The expense of board for the pupils would be borne by the
parents and guardians of the children.
We hope to see Alaska a country of homes, and we feel the
urgent need of better facilities for higher and better education,
and we beg you to give this matter your most careful consider
ation.

Save yottr eyes on the trail by using the "Wilson Goggles"
and Zylbex Eye Protector. ..We have a complete assortment of

If you lived as the cave man lived, your health would take
care of itself. The cave man ate coarse food and lived a strenu
ous life in the open. His digestive apparatus was suited {o that
kind of an existence. You inherit from the cave man the same
internal mechanism but you eat different food and lead a dif
ferent kind of life. Hence the almost universal prevalence of
constipation—and its constant menace to health. Your prob
lem is to adjust that “cave man" internal mechanism of yours
to the sedentary life and concentrated food of civilized life.
American Mineral Oil accomplishes the adjustment. It does |
not upset the ordinary processes of digestion—and it does not |
form a lift bit. We recommend San-Tox American Oil at $1.25!
per full pint.
On Valentine day a customer of ours wanted a box of candy.
We sold him a box of Augustine & Kyer’s Chocolates. In speak
ing of different kinds of candy he asked me why we didn’t carry
cheaper box candy in stock. There is only one thing we can an
swer to that. We sell Augustine & Kyer’s chocolates for the
same reason that we sell Waterman’s Ideal Fountain pens, for
the same reason we sell Eastman Kodaks, for the same reason
we use Squibb’s, Mulford’s and Parke Davis’ chemicals in our
prescription department, for the same reason that we buy Stet
son’s Hats or Cheney’s neckwear, and Hart, Schaffner & Marx’
Clothes, for the same reason we handle all quality goods. We
want to be identified with the best only. And in that lies your
safety and advantage in dealing with us.
