COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION,
ALASKA SCHOOLS, TALKS ON
SEWARD SCHOOL PROBLEM.
Seward Needs New Building
“No Town Can Progress Faster Than
It’s School System,” Says L. D.
Henderson.
“I have a theory that a town can
not progress any faster than its
school system,” stated Lester D. Hen
derson, commissioner of education
in Alaska, during his brief visit in
Seward Saturday, Avhile en route to
Nome and other Alaska points where
Territorial schools are located. “It
would mean a big thing for Seward
to secure an adequate school build
ing. This would be a real financial
asset to the community and the lo
cal business men should appieciaie
this fact.”
“It is not good to see so many Al
askan children leaving, many from
Seward and the adjacent vicinity, for
schooling in the States. And in a
way, one cannot blame their par
ents for the Seward school is not
an accredited school, but could be
easily made so with the addition of
one more teacher to the high school
faculty, which would make four; the
enrollment of 20 pupils in the high
school, a proper building with an
adequate library and science lab
oratory. ‘ %
Would Increase Number Pupils
“If Seward had a good high school
building, there would bt ni question
of it being an accredited school for
many jf the children, a.id students
from the suirounding die r -i», w.uld
enroll 1 • ”e. Th * grade s.n : * in
Seward !s large enougo a*, piesent
and now that arrangeim u '« have
been made for one teacher to han
dle two grades, splendid results
should be forthcoming. However,
a new building, equipped with a gym
nasium, would be a fine thing as it
would tend to increase the physical
education of the children wonder
fully.
On Tour of Inspection.
The present trip of Mr. Hender
son is one on inspection of all the
Territorial public schools in this and
the Interior districts. He left Sew
ard for Anchorage yesterday, con
templating departing for the Matan
uska school this morning, and this
afternoon catching the regular In
terior train for Nenana, where he ex
pects to make connections with a
river steamer for Tanana, Ruby,
Fortuna Ledge (Marshal) and St.
Michael, thence across to Nome. His
itinerary included leaving Nome on
the steamer Victoria for Seattle, via
Seward if possible. If he misses the
Victoria he will come south on the
Alameda, the last boat south out of
Nome this year. He anticipates re
turning to Seward, providing one of
these vessels stop here, for the pur
pose of making a longer visit, study
ing the local situation.
Enrollment on the Increase.
The Territory of Alaska is a large
country to cover, Mr. Henderson
stated, and he finds it rather diffi
cult at times to pay certain localities
the visits he would like to. There
are 78 schools in the Territory, he
said, and for the first time in Alaska
school history, the enrollment of
scholars last year went over the 4,
000 mark. Indications point that
this year’s enrollment will exceed
that number by many. The high
school enrollment of the Territory for
last year also showed an increase,
totaling 527 students, an increase of
at least ten per cent over the year
previous. The high school enroll
ment is growing faster than any oth
er department, which is certainly a
most encouraging sign, Mr. Hender
son said in conclusion.
The second annual Tanana fair
has gone down into history as one
of the most successful expositions
ever held in Interior Alaska, the ex
hibits being more varied and better
in every way than those of earlier
years. The entertainment feature
of the fair also was a great success
and contributed much to the gener
al success.
