GRATITUDE FOR WHAT
In a recent editorial, the Empire
brought to play, the slogan of the
Sheldon-Jackson School to the end
that the school is not making more
“Competent Citizens” out of the
natives of Southeastern Alaska.
If the editor of the Empire had
stopped to think that only a very
small percentage of the natives
of Southeastern Alaska attend this
institution, he surely would not
have tried to ridicule the motto
of a school that is so noble in
purpose and worthy of endless
praise.
We of Sitka feel that the Sheldon
Jackson School is doing great work
and accomplishing much to the end
of making more “Competent Chris
tian Citizens” out of the pupils
who attend.
Mr. Troy would try to tell how
to teach the student of such insti
tutions. He says, “They have not
been taught anything of their great
indebtedness to the white people”
and “they are not being instructed
in the meaning of gratitude.”
On the other hand, we believe
that Barrett Willoughby, in an
article entitled “The Passing Alas
kan,” in the last magazine, has
well said, “Twilight is descending
upon the once proud tribes of
Alaska Indians and civilization is
crowding out a people whose art
will remain to shame us.”—Sitka
