"America For Americans
1 HAT DIVISIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
(Contributed)
la petitioning the Legislature to
locate rhe Divisional High School
for the First Division in Skagway,
this Ci'y is not selfishly asking a
boon. A high school of the order
contemplated by the Legislature
will mcst certainly be of great
value to the city ia the benefit to
t« derived from, larger educational
opDortutity for its children, in the
intellectual impetus derived from
^the assembling of that many more
students and the bringing in of
that many more trained instructors.
But Skagway very properly feels
tha' the favor is not all on the one
•ide. 1 ; f;
As a location for a» education
al institution, Skagway is ideal.
First of all we have a city of homes
ai.d a high school of all institu
tions should have its location
ant r? homes. Educators every
where recognize the fact tha$ the
good accomplished -by any school
Is largely dependent upoa the
close touch maintained * fcy the
school jvith the hcjne life of its
atudea'.s
la thc second place, Skagway
has the best climate and the most
sanitary physical conditions of any
ci'y in Southeastern Alaska. A
minimum of rain and a maximum
of sunshine, coupled with an
equable temperature range, low
er ia sumir er and higher in winter
thai> its neighbors, will serve to
make contented the boy or girl
awav from home. Our water supply
com£s from a spring-fed lake far
up in the mountains. Our streets
(and they a 1-9 not mere trails call
ed streets by courtesy) are kept
clean and sightly. Even our com
paratively long tide flat is a gravel
bar and uot a mud flat and never
oifend the smell. Our chiledrn are
free f.xin the ravages of epidemics
of even children's diseases, and
where, once in a long while a case
dc*>* crop out rit is promptly tak-j
en in hand and confined to the one
patient.
Tien, too, SKagway is viuiuy in
terested in its own school and can
be depended upon to take an aotiye
Interest in the welfare of another.
Skagwav's location on ft broad,
level, fertile valey floor gives it
the advantage that it can offer a
high school all the room it needs
/or the various activities in Which
a high school might engage. For
snorts and athletics of all kinds
T)lenfy of level space is needed and
the same is true of many manual
training and vocational courses
which such a school might bo ex
pected to take up. For instance,
if ihe school determined to take
up flower or vegetable gardening,
what location could }>e found that^

THE POET AND HIS SONGS
As the birds come In Spring
We know not from where;
Aa the stars ooane at evening1
From depths of the air; I
I
Aa fie rain comes from the cloud
And tne brook from the ground
As suddenly, low or ioud,
Ou' of si'-enoe a sound; 1
As the graves come to the vine
fruit to the tree;
As til* wlndoomesto the pine
And the tide to the sea;
A» comes tth» white Mils of ships
O'er tile ooeaa's verse;
As comes the smile to the lips,
Th0 Xo&m to thesrurge;
So come to tha Poet his songs,
AH hit her ward blown
From tiie misty realm that, belongs
I To the vast unknown.
His, and not his, are the lays f
He sings; and their fame
>is his, end not hJa; and the P raise
And the pride of a name.
(For voices pursue him by day
And haunt him by night,
And 'ic listens and needs must obey,
| When the Anjjal says: "Write!"

Sfragway is centrally located as
