OUR SCHOOLS
Forty-eight out of sixty-three
schools to which a circular was ad
dressed last spring by Commissioner
of Education L. D. Henderson re
sponded to the request for a birth
place census of the pupils who were
enrolled in the schools. The census
facts gathered include 2,290 pupils, of
which number 1,138 are boys and 1,152
girls. Following is a list of the states
and countries in which the school chil
dren of Alaska were born, showing the

It will be noted that more than one- j
half the children in the schools from j
which reports were received were
born in Alaska. This fact is interest-1
ing from the standpoint of the light j
which is thrown upon the stability of
the territory. Alaska can now be con
sidered not as a land of the prospector |
and adventurer, bpt as a country of
homes and firesides, where industry 1
is stabilized and where a permanent
population is being built up.
Our nearest neighbors, Washington
and Canada, hold second and third
places respectively, with contributions
of 367 and 106 children to the school
population of Alaska. In all, forty-one
of the forty-eight states in the Union
are represented by figures ranging
from 367 to 1.
In addition to this large representa
tion of states, native sons and daugh
ters of twenty-one foreign countries
are being educated in the public
schools of Alaska.
The statistics here presented should
suffice to make cle^r to those who are
not residents of Alaskj that they are
not materially different from those of
the States, with the exception that
perhaps the group is more cosmopoli
tan in character, a circumstance which
contributes to a higher degree of men
tal development, as is evidenced by
the results obtained from a series of
standard tests given to the pupils of
both the high and elementary schools
during the past year. If statistics for
the remaining thousand school chil
dren in the schools from which no re
port was received were available,
there is little doubt that a still greater
number of states andjoreign countries
would be represented.
