the Star received an article from ""a 3 ill a
rhich was allegedly ’.Titten b- a Nor York
friend of the child psychologist ’.vho -'as
visit ing him in Alaska. .
The article vas dovoted almost entirely to
telling Alaskans what an accomplished tea
cher Polleys ras and hor fortunate tho peo
ple of '“asilia wore to have a man of his
caliber in their midst.
Portion ras made of Polleys educational
training, his Now York achievements, liis
various degrees and the pamnhlots he had
written. The gist of the article was that
Howard E. Folleys was a great man. ^t ras
apparent the subject of tho rooort was
available for close collaboration in its
preparation.
There was no mention of juvenile deliv
erer cy Or parents "faming children out."
In fact., the only statement in tho entire
report that -asn’t devoted to Tolleys men
tioned what a fine community ~isilia was
and how much smarter Alaskan school chil
dren ■•ore than those ih Herr York.
.
The article -asn’t considered '"or publi
cation because it was felt Palleys had a
lot cf Alaskan proving to. do before he de
veloped into tho educational giqr.t he im
agined himself to be. ' t
His biographor got the report back rith a
polite note explaining that, in our opin
ion, many tried and true Alaskan teachers
had a higher priority for praise than Hol
leys.
r'c don’t think Pol leys liked our failure
to recognize his greatness. Other rebuffs
v/hich he undoubtedly received during his
brief quest for facie in the far north pro
bably added to his dislike for the terri
t ory.
As far as'our amateur psychoanalysis is
concerned, Folloys' bitter report in Seattle,
ie evaluated as tho sort of demonstration
to bo expected from any sulking .dole-scent
rhe has failed to gain t'e attention he so ••
dearly ranted.
