, RENDERED AT
SCHOOL SHOW
The Empress theater was well filled
yesterday, the occasion being an en
tertainment given by the Cordova pub
lic schools for the purpose of raising
| sufficient money for the purchase of
geography slides to be used in the
moving picture machine at the school
house.
An excellent program was rendered,
which was thoroughly appreciated, and
was as follows:
Piano solo, “The Harlequin—Dorothy
Dooley.
Vocal solo, “Because I Love You,
Dear”—Mrs. Harry Kerr.
Piano solo, “A Polish Dance”—
Ophelia Howard.
Illustrated lecture on South America
—Senor Carlos Colorna of the Univer
sidad $e San Marcos. Lima, Peru.
Piano solo, “Minuet”—Headlee Lam
prey.
Vocal solo, “Swiss Song”—Mrs. E.
F. O’Brien.
Spanish dance—High school girls,
direction of Miss Ellen Fraisure.
An Expression of Thanks
Miss Keever, principal of the
schools, shows her appreciation of
those wrho contributed to the success
of the entertainment in the following
communication:
Usually it is not difficult, with paper
^ and pencil at hand, to say what needs
to be said, but one’s vocabulary seems
very inadequate when an attempt is
made to express appreciation of the
overwhelming kindness showp on all
sides in order to make yesterday’s
school benefit a success.
From all who contributed to the suc
cess of the entertainment—Captain
athrop, who donated the use of his
beautiful theater, and all his employes,
who offered their services so willingly;
Mr. Steele, who gave us all our print
ing; Senor Carlos Coloma, who came
all the way from South America to tell
us about his native land; and all the
others who gave so generously of their
time and talents in providing a most
interesting program; to the public who
patronized our effort so liberally—
everyone did everything possible to
make the entertainment the complete j
euccess that it wras, and all have our1
hearty thanks. This experience proves
t that the Cordova public and the Cor
dova public school thoroughly under
stand that only through good team
work and co-operation is the greatest
success possible in any undertaking.
We did what we set out to do—
raised enough money for the purchase
of a special set of six hundred geog
raphy slides for next year’s work.
Knowing that our commissioner of ed
ucation, Mr. Henderson, had a chance
to examine this set while in attend
ance at a recent convention in Cleve
land, Ohio, a letter was written asking
for his personal estimate of their
value. His reply is appended, and is
probably more convincing than any
word of ours, that the money is to
be used for a worthy purpose:
“My Dear Miss Keever: I examined
the set of six hundred slides put out
by the Keystone View Company while
in Cleveland, attending the convention
^ of the National Educational Associa
tion, and was verey much impressed
with the fact that they are highly de
sirable for use in the schools of Alaska.
I so informed the manager of the com
pany, and gave him a list of the vari
ous school superintendents of the ter
ritory, with the request that he for
ward them literature concerning the
stereograph and slides. I had origi
nally intended to write to each of you
with the recommendation that either
the stereograph or slides he purchased,
but in view of the fact that I had
taken up with the schools the matter
of the purchase of DeVry projectors, I
concluded that it would be best for me
to voice no sentiment in this matter,
thus leaving it to the discretion of the
various school executives.
“I am very glad to learn that you
contemplate making such a purchase
V and that you have such a well-laid plan
for securing the necessary money.
“Very sincerely yours,
“LESTER D. HENDERSON,
“Commissioner of Education.”
