SKAGWAV'S PUBLIC SCHOOL -
HAMS AMONG ALASKA'S BEST
Skagway lias every reason to be
in'oud of its Public School. Tlie
school building is conveniently lo
cated almost in the exact cen,ter of
the townslte; it contains eight
rooms, five of which are occupied
aa class rooms, und there is also a
general assembly room, a man
ual training room, and one room
at present unused. There is an
extensive basement, and the entire
commodious building i>> comfortably
heated by a hot air Bystem, lighted
throughout by electricity, and the
purest of mountain, water in supplie
from the city water mains for drink
ing purposes, with "n ample head
of water from the same source im
mediately available for fire protec
tion.
The present enrollment cosists
of approximately 100 pupils, with
a staff of one principal, four per
manent teachers, and two auxil
iary teachers. The pupils «re being
eiven every possible advantage;
tho course includes the usual Gram
mar grade3, a three-year High
School course, manual training and
domestic sclei.ce—all in charge of
competent instructors following up
to-date methods in every particular.
Efforts are now being made by the
Alaska Commissioner of Eduacation
to standardize all schools in the
Territory, *nd the Skagway School
Board hopes and expects to make
arrangements for the accrediting of
high school pupils so that they will
be accepted at higher Institutions
or learning without being required
to pass examinations.
The passage of the recent law
by the Alaska legislature whereby
the Territory pays 75 per tent of
tho school »xpenses, is of great as
sistance in enabling tho municipali
ty to maintain, a high ptandaxti with
out unduly burdening the tax pay
ers. la fact, it is now posaible to
maintain a better school than ever
before at a cost of approxi
mately $5,000 per year less to the
people of tho community. With this
financial helo, it Is planned tt> im
prove the facilities and equipment
of the school whenever and where
ever possible.

Public School is as follows:

SkagwHy in its busiest days showing the many wharves extending out
over the tide flats, with A. B. mouitain in the background. Even
th<=6e docks were not sufficient, ag many of the boata had to .lfe at
anchor while others were unloading.
Skagway has tlie reputation of
beiiu? i home city. There are many
institutions that go to make a place
one in which families wish to re
side and to rear their chlldreu.
Not onlv the school is important,
but also the church.
Skagway is fortunate in its
churches, having a Catholic Church,
Presbyterian and Christian Science.
