Education Here For Those
Who Want It
Skagway, Nov. 2t>? to the Editor?
The educational facilities afforded
the young people of SKagwav are un
surpassed if even equalled in the large
cities. With the gratuitious services
and personal attentian of so able and
experienced a teacher as the Rev. Mr.
Glenk, it will indeed be their own
fault and a matter of regret to them
through life if they do not avail them
selves of the opportunities here offered.
Their only excuse for not doing so
would be that they do not want an
education In other days in other
cities numerous men and great, line
Stephan Girard and Peter Cooper, gave
largely of their means to endow free
schools for those eagtr for knowledge.
And people honor revere theirfmemories
for it. But greater even than these is
the man who gives not only of his
means bur gives his time, knowledge
and talent absolutely free and labors
among the people wnh the sole object
of doing >!Oi>d to his fellows.
. And now is the time opportune for
beginning an agitatiou for the estab
lishment of an Alaskan university, en
dowed by :he federal government. It
has been elsewhere. It can be done
here, and Skagway is the proper site
for it, a\ J, with the services of so
thoroughl) unselfish and devoted a man
as the Mr. Gleuk for its president,
its success would be assured at once.
Respectfully,
A. F. WILDT.
