Henderson, Commissioner of Educa | tion, Territory of Alaska, during his talk before 'the Seward Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday. Mr. Henderson has just returned from a trip of inspection to various Territorial schools to the Westward ; and in commenting on his journey re* | marked he had exceptional good luck, ! for at each port visited the steamer arrived during the day and when the schools were in session. This worked out just right for him as ordinarily it is difficult to select a Westward trip which, under ordinary circumstances, would give him a brief period at all points he desired to call at, unless he took a month or so in making the rounds. He was at Seldovia for three hours, Uzinkie for two hours; all one after noon at Kodiak, so took a run across to Wood Island; and also to Port Holbron. As all might know Port is where the whaling station is lo cated. Seventeen head of cattle was delivered to Jhek McCord at this port "Golf clubs and bails; just re ceive1.

The manuel train jing students were the chief assem blers and the way they turned the finished product out resembled a Ford plant to everything detail ex cept the Fords. C. H. Keil, Moose Pass mining op erator, arrived in town last evening on a brief business trip. for trans-shipment to Sitalickdit (it’s a difficult name to spell off-hand) where McCord has the nucleus of a cattle ranch well under way. ! Mr Henderson dwelled but briefly 1 on facts concerning the whaling sta tion with the exception of saying he was fortunate (?) in arriving at a time they were performing an opera tion on a large blue whale. It was of great interest, he said, but an hour was all he could stand, or rather, had time for. Speaking of the local school situa tion, Mr. Henderson remarked the season has started off very nicely; he is glad to note the increased enroll ment but is particularly impressed by the action of the City Council in providing additional quarters and ar ranging them so well. “Realy,” he con tinued, “it is not a bad school build ing at all, with these new improve ments, for in the past, as I have told you before I never was so much en- ^ thused over the high school building. I • “I have been asked many times by i parents and children in your city re- 2 garding this being an accredited j high school. We are operating in the ! Territory under rules enforced by the _ University of Washington, which is the closest, and they require four full time teachers in the high schools. Seward has but three. In addition they require all high schools be equip ped with science laboratory and a larger general reference library than ■ you have, though your library is not bad and perhaps is sufficient for the present needs of the students. “I am also glad to hear that you I are thinking of getting out a bond is- j sue and erecting a new school build- j ing soon. No doubt if a new building was built and the U. of Wn. inspector visited here, he would make it an ac credited school. As conclusive evi dence what a new school will do let me point out it would mean first of all a considerable increase in enroll ment. This is perhaps best illustrated by the new school at Petersburg. Formerly all the children of high school age went Outside; now they are all remaining. To Seward in par ticular it means more than the aver age for here is a more of a center of population and activities. You have a large field from which to draw from. Strange as it may seem the West ward developement will help, not only the local school situation, but every thing in a business way. “Our new school in the Mission dis trict is coming along splendidly and I am well pleased with the progress the contractors are making. “The Seward schools have a fine faculty and the ‘esprit de corps’ of the pupils and students is excellent.” Mr. Henderson left Seward today for the Interior returning South in a couple of weeks enroute to his Ju neau office.
