SjUGWAY PARENT
TEACHER ASSOCIATION
The decision or the city council
iu aeseion Monday night to build a
permanent concrete base around
th« property used in Skagway a« a
akeil*g rink is a direct compliment
to the succe;* of the movement
»t*rled br the Parent-Teacher As
sociation of last year. The P. T. A.
win effective and instructive in
different ways and helped to
I»u the winter evenings in a man
Mr that was instructive and bene
tklaj to parents, teachers, and pu
pila.
W'r are pleased to note the
Parent-Teacher Association is to
t>« reorganized again this week.
Th» n«ed for these associations
of o^ren's and teachers is as great
U Skagway as in the elites and
rural communities of the states
wheia they have been found to be
of the utmost benefit. There are
Xna.hr factors that go to umke up
a successful school, and among the
acit Important is the attitude of
the home. As one writer on mod
era education says: "It is quite
clf»r that no teacher or teachers
c*b alone make a good school. The
iu'eiPsts of the child demand the
latetest of the home. For, after
kll. the child finds its most impell
ing forces in the place and in the
periOLs where its earliest instincts
*re firmly embedded. And father's
or mother's word, or evidence of
thier approval or disappro\al, can
make or mar much that is done in
the ac&ool."
Another writer speaking of the
•ccla! aspects of education says
"Tij# teacher rery much needs the
stimulus and the enlightenment th*t
coiree from a comprehensive knowl
edge of the home life of his pu
A democratic community needs to
have its imagination Quickened as
to »b» needs of the school. An edu
cated public sentiment is a sup
port to & good school board and
a check to an inefficient one.
'ir« Daily Alaskan strongly urges
a Ifrgt attendance at the meeting
Friday for the re-organization of
the Parent-Teacher Association in
Bkagway. it will be for the com
blaed good of the pupils, the
teachers, the public and all the edu
cational work.

BLIND PIGS, VICE
WIDE OPES Al
TEHEE
A woman is ia Juneau bent ou
the extermination of gambling,
blind-pigs, and proetitution at
Teoakee. Failing to secure satis
factiou from Xederal officials In Ju
neau responsible for the administra
tion of law and order through the
resident U. S. Commissioner and
deputy U. S. Marshal at Tenakee,
i*a appeal is to be made to the
Woman's Club and other organiza
tion of Juneau to netltlon the For
estry. department to remove the
(J. S. Commissioner and Marshal at
Tenakee and appoint an agent to
clean up the town.
The woman ia Mrs. Ella M. Hart,
Mrs. Hart has, so she informed the
Dispatch last night, suffered as a
result of the conditions existing
at Teoaie^ and Is in Juneau seek
ing assistance is 'he clean up
campaign.
"Buna pigs, gamming ana pros
titution are so openly carried on at
Tenakee as to become a stench be
fore the respectabl people of that
community," said Mrs. Hart last
night. "With little children in the
community and hundreds of visitor!
there for the benefit^ of the min
eral springs, it is a disgrace that
federal officials allow present con
ditions to exist."
Tenakee is a small town located
oo Tenakee inlet, and is becoming
^ enter of Icy Straits fishing ac
tivity. Several years ago a saloon
i license was granted at that place.
Later this license Fas revoked *»d
la late years several efforts have
been m"de to stamp out disorderly
conduct there. Tenakee property
Is leased from the Forestry depart
ment and all civic improvements
are authorized through forestry of
ficials. If Mrs. Hart is successful
in her efforts for better moral con
ditions application will be made
'iirough the Juneau Woman's club
for the department of justice to
remove the present petty officials,
and an agent sent from the fot^
estry department.
"Individuals at Tenakee are rent
ing forestry ground from the for
estry agents, and re-renting the
prooerty for houses of prostitution,
is one of the charges made by
Mrs. Hart. "Gambling and bootleg
ging are openly carried on," is an
other charge.
in this same room. On holidays
fhev gather there for the feasts
prepared for them by the teacher
la charge, or by the missionary.
There is also in the school house
a room set apart where the villag
ers may gather at any time of the
day or evening to sit around the
fire and smoke while they visit. At
♦hese informal gatherings every
thing Is discussed, from the teacher,
whose popularity depends to an ap
preciable extent upon the number
of presents he hands out, to hunt
ing, the weather, the white man's
ships, etc.
Is there illness in any igloo, the
medicine chest In the "big house"
is the first thing thought of, and
[to the "big house" the Eskimos
come for aid, be it night or day.
' If a dog-team is sighted coming
towards the village, "messengers"
hurry to the "big house" to inform
tho teacher of the coming of
"strangers," so that he may be
orepared to receive them.
And so It goes. The center of
all activity and thought and life
in the village is the red-roofed
school house, and the white man
In charge. Besides a fairly well
eqaioped school room there is a
large storeroom in the building
wherr are provisions of ail kinds,
and living quarters for the teacher
and his family. 1
