Mr. Lester D. Henderson, Ter
ritorial School Oo mirissioner
! with headquarters at Juneau
; spent Wednesday in McCarthy
l on a school inspection visit. On
I Thursday he visited Kennecott.
That he is well pleased with
school, teacher and scholars is
| evidenced by the following
which we are proud to publish':
i
“The public school is the big
gest and most important in^titut
ion in any community. We as a
people, have, within the past two
years, had impressed upon us
the truth of the statement,“The
schools make the nation.”
Jt is encouraging to observe
the interest which the members
of the school board and residents
of McCarthy generally manifest
in the school. This interest and
the harmony which prevails in
th commnnity mean much in the
future development and advance
ment of the school.
I fiml conditions in the school
above the average of the one
room schools of the Territory.
The building is attractive both
as to exterior and interior. The
teacher. Mrs. Kefior is one of
Alaska’s superior teachers, and
should not be permitted to leave
the Territory, if a “thrift” salary
and appreciation of her
work on the part of those among
whom sh3 labors will suf
fice to retain her.
The pupils are studious and
| much interested in their work.
In my remarks to them on Wed
nesday, I made the statement
that I lino, not yet, on my present
itinerary through the Territory,
visited a school in which the p u
pils as a whole were so indus
trious or their recitation work
so good as in the McCarthy
school. I am pleased to make
this same statement to the pub
lic,
l
i
| It is the aim of the Territorial
Department of Education to ad
vance the interests of the schools
as rapidly as is possible. The
material equipment is being im
proved an * a bled to yearly.The
i work generally is being stand
ardized in such a way as to make
the schools of Alaska as a whole
superior to those of any state in
j the Union. To accomplish this
j end the active co-operation and
1 help of every parent and resid
! ent. of the Territory is neces
sary.”
