Speljack Praises Alas

Frank Speljack,' direct from Fair
banks. where ho took the short term
course in mining offered by tho Alaska
School of Mines, was a Monday arrival,
tie returns with great praise for that
institution, in speasing oi which he
said, id part:
‘‘While at Fairbanks I took the
short course in the School of Mines,
and 1 wish to say that •ft was one if the
best moves T ever made. I only- wish
that 1 could take the regular four-year
course.
“What wonderful vistas of a bright
and prosperous future the national
government has opened up there for
our Territory 1 i do uul want to appear
too enthusiastic, but to me it seems
that at last our Northland is un tbo
right pat h to get into its own,-- >. • .
“There are. no doubt, Dome-men to
be found who cannot see and appreciate
the noble effort of the government Mi
helping us to develop our great Terri
tory. But, somehow, when a man goes
there aud sees the many* bright,
healthy, smiling faces of our young
Alaskans he cannot help but become
imbued with that spirit of go aheada
tiveness and enthusiasm which onlv
youth so- abundantly displays. T. be
lieve the College is one of Alaska’s
greatest, assets, an institution-that can
he pointed to with pride. It does one
a world of good to see the happy faces
of the many students who. with their
kindness and courtesy, make one’s stay
there a real pleasure.
“Mr Bunnell, the president of the
College, as well as every member of
the faculty, are at. all times, with thair
never-exhausted patience aad perse
verance, doing all in their-power to
make everyone fe£l at hon:.e F*erv
other Wednesday a genera; assembly is
held, when, usually, some very good
home talent entertains the visitors
from the city. Open house is kept and
everybody is invited, and it really is a
very nice practice, as it tends to pro
mote a feeling of friendship and good
fellowship between the College and the
general public. Yes, I am proud of
the Alaska Agricultural College aud
School of Mines,”
