“Another thing these various Cham
bers of Commerce are co-operating
in a way they have not done in the
past. Alaska is more or less notorious
asi we all know for its lack of co-oper
ation between its various communi
ties. And that is one of the things
that handicaps Washington, is the
inability to be able to get an unani
mous opinion on any subject. Ano
ther thing that we may be optimistic
in is the fact that business is growing
and that more people are arriving in
the territory.
“Secondly I wish to bring out the
fact that the school system is getting
better and bigger all the time. I ex-!
pect that you will say that those of
us in the business would naturally
think so, but I believe that statistics
will bear out the statement. We had
an enrollment of over 300 over the
previous year, and while I have not
been able to check up for the present
year, I believe that it will go well
over the 5,000 mark.
“You all of course realize your lo
cal school conditions, perhaps better
than I can tell you, yet an outsider
will get certain impressions. I don’t
know if anything is wrong with your
town in a business way, but if so I
feel your school is responsible for it.
Probably the lack of foresight in pro
viding school facilities has been one
of the things which has occasioned
the lack of business. I believe that
everyone recognizes the fact that any
one thinking of locating in a town
inquires first about its schools and
churches, and if they can be assured
that they will have an adequate ele
mentary school and also high school,
they are more favorable to that lo-'
cality than to one that does not afford
them.
“You don’t have to be told what
you have in the way of a school
plant here. It has been tout-grown
long ago. This is especially true of
the high school. I think of course
that the high school which you have
witnessed for the past year is about
half of what it might have been if you
had had the proper facilites. But the
students were in the basement, and a
small room called a library, where it
was difficult for boys and girls of the
adolescent age to learn, and think
they are worth anything. Also it is
hard to have the right kind of equip
ment. What you have done is an im
provement over the old, in securing
the new building and moving the
high school in it, and yet anyone who
visits the building and sees what it
provides realizes that it is inadequate.
It is a good bank building, or business
building, but there is no way to pro
vide the facilities there, that should
be provided in a good high school.
“It is easy to see how a new saw
mill, cannery or cold storage plant
may build up your town, but a good
school plant will do the same thing.
I expect we people in the school work
are always looking for better school
conditions, and I am not attempting
to advise how much you should spend
for school in your towm, but your
greatest need in Seward is better
school buildings and facilities. How
soon you can get it is a matter you
