English Teacher
Visiting Alaska
An interesting tourist currently j
visiting Alaska is Miss Ena Wild, a
school teacher from Rotherham, '
England.
Miss Wild teaches at the Ferham
Road Infants’ School, a small insti- i
tution of slightly over 200 studerits. '
She is quick to point out that an
infants’ school is made up of sev
eral divisions: The nursery, equiv
alent to our pre-school: the recep
tion, roughly the same as our kin
dergarten: and classes one, two and
three, in which students enroll as
they progress in what we know as
first and second grade. All students
graduate from infants' school by the
time they are eight years old.
She came to the Interior by bus
from Edmonton, and was very im
pressed with the Alaska highway.
"You should see the roads in Mani
toba,’’ she says, when asked if the
highway was rough.
Miss Wild made a trip to Fort
Yukon Tuesday with Wien Alaska ■
Airlines, her first airplane flight. ‘
She left yesterday to see McKinley ,
Park, Anchorage, and Juneau.
She first came to North America !
14 months ago with her mother,
Lily A. Wild, to visit her brother, ;
Ralph, in Winnipeg whom they had I
not seen for nine years. She has
taken tours through Canada and I
western United States as well as
Alaska.
She plans to leave Alaska
Wednesday, taking a trans-Contin
ental tour to Montreal*, and sailing
for Liverpool. She hopes'to return
to Rotherham by August 15,
Miss Wild is a graduate of Peter
boros’, a teachers’ college in North
Hamptonshire. She has taught for
t ight years in England, and taught
jirst grade in Winnipeg during her
winter there.
Her home, Rotherham, is a city
of 70.000. located near the famous
steel center of Sheffield.
