Education Here For Those
 Who Want It

Skagway. Nov. 26-to the Editor The educational facilities afforded the young people of Skagway are un- surpassed if even equalled in the large cities, With the gratuitious services and personal atteutian of so able and experienced a teacher as the Rev. MT. Glenk, it will indeed be their own fault and 8 matter of regret to them through life if they do not avail them selves of the opportunities here offered. Their only excuse for not doing SO would be that they do not want an education In other days in other cities numerous men and great, Ike Stephan Girsrd and Peter Cooper, gave largely of their means to endow free schools for those eager for knowledge. And people honor revere thei1memories for it. But greater even than these is the msn who gives not only of his means bu: gives his time, knowledge and ts3enl absolutely free aud labors among the people with the sole object of doing good to his fellows.
 And now is the time opportune for beginning an agitation for the estab, lishment Of au Alaskan university en- dowed by the federal government. It has beea elsewhere. It can be done here, and Skagway is the proper site for it, a-l, with the services of so thoroughly uuseldsh and devoted man as the Eey. MT. Glenk for it's president, its success would be assured at once.
 Respectfully,
 A. F, WTLDT.

GOVERNOR ENDORSES LETTER
Mrs. Sage Requested to Aid The
Teachers Mutual Benefit
Association.

AZ the request Of the Teachers Mu-
lnak Benefit Association, Governor
Warficld has forwarded TO Mrs. Rus
sell sage, widow OF the New York
millionaire. letter in which an ap-
peal is made 10 her for assistance. The
Governor. in sending the letter, in
dorsed the request of the teachers and
expressed his hope that il would meet
with favorable consideration. The
letter is as follows:
Dear Madam-The teachers OF Bal
timore some years ago organized a
mutual benefit association for the pur
pose of penisoning those incapacitated
for work either by age or III health.
This was found necessary because
the teachers, almost without excep-
ton, are educated by parents at a sac
rifice, an therefore begin their careers
with a debt or obligation which it
takes them past middle age before they
can liquidate. Until recently the
salary OF the grade teacher was $50
month. Now. since tho salaries range
from s25 to $50 q month. the older
teachers are being dropped. What is
10 become of themy We provide AK
well and for as many as we can our
selves.
Your great generosity has given
us the courage TO lay before you the
needs of a class of noble workers
who receive very little recognition
for their work and still less assist
anee. Universities and colleges have
ever been remembered, but you would
be the first to recognize the fact that
the grade teachers are the backbone
of the educational system of the coun-
try. As such you would place your
self where you would be loved and
honored by many noble women.
