SUPPORT URGED FOR ALASKA'S,
 NEWCOLLECE

Last evening joint meeting of the Cordova Chamber of Commerce and Parent-Teachers' Association was held at the Northland Club, which was ad- dressed by the President Charles E. Bunnell, of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. There was large turnout of parents and business men. Geo. c. Hazelet acted as chairman and introduced the dis tinguished guest.
 Judge Bunnell made most inter- esting and instructive talk, which was attentively listened to. He declared that the college was one thing that be- longed wholly and entirely to all of the Territory and was deserving of the support from all sections Of Alas ka. It is not local and does not be- long to the Panama Valley section just because it happens to be located there, he asserted.
 The speaker gave briefly the plan of organization of the school for taking care of regularly enrolled students. He went more fully into the proposed extension work. One of the main du- ties of the college will be to solve the mining and agricultural problems as they arise in the various sections of the Territory, he said. This can only be accomplished by short courses given on the ground. In meeting them, he said, he had in mind and would so recommend to the Board of Trustees that representatives of the school be sent out to various towns for possible 16-week week or four months periods giving short courses in mining or other industries. It would be possible, he added, to put on such courses at Ketchikan, Juneau, Cordova and other towns, centrally To- cated. Such a work would entail some expense and cannot be carried out without funds, he declared
 He outlined briefly the great prob lens which Alaska has to solve. One of the greatest of these is, in his opln- ion, that of properly educating the people of the States concerning Alas ka. They entertain wild ideas about

 He said that interest is great in the States concerning this new educa- tional venture in Alaska. Everywhere he went much enthusiasm has been shown.
 He also outlined the work of the college. A variety of courses has been planned, among which are home eco monies, agriculture, civil engineering, mining engineering and general sci ence course Six instructors, besides the president, are to handle the work. President Bunnell has just returned from a trip to the States, where he has secured his staff
 He gave the history of the college, which is as follows: The 1917 Legis- lature of Alaska appropriated $6O,OO0 which was not enough to build and fully equip the college. The 1917 Leg islature added nothing to this and no work was done for two years. The Legislature of 1921 appropriated an additional $41OO0. The college is now complete and ready to begin work next fall. Congress appropriated $5O,- 900 for maintenance, as with all land grant colleges. This is the 51st col lege of it's kind to be established in i the United States.
 MT. Bunnell asked for the co-opera- tion of all education institutions in this Territory to make the college success and to instill in the minds of the students the value of higher edu- cation. There is everything to gain in pulling together. Cooperation is the means of our entire existence. It means success for the Agricultural | College and School of Mines and hope all of the people of the Territory will be able to agree on and support the institution" he declared. It is his intention, he added, to keep all Alas kans fully informed on the school and it's policies and plans. No opposition of friction will develop through any misunderstanding regarding the insti- tuition, he concluded.
