WEALTH SACRIFICED TO EDUCATE HIS "FAMILY" Everett Teacher With Earnings From Pen Sends 18 Worthy Siudents to College, Living Simply on His Own Salary. EVERETT. Wash.. Feb. L'6. (Spe cial.) F. V. Mack, a teaeher in the Central School, who had spent thousands of dollar in educating 18 students, 17 boys and one girl, during the last 16 years, yesterday reluctantly went into .detail as to his woi'K, loiu of in The Oregonian Friday. . LivlnK on his school salary in a modest way both in Minnesota, his former home. and in Washington, he has eurned the money to send students through uni versities bv writine short stories ana magazine articles under nom de plumes. As he paid all the expenses ot tne is for from six to nine years, he has paid out between 2500 and ?0000 on each of his "children.. the "faculty" of a small country high school in Minnesota, Mack found it difficult to make ends meet and keep the boys in school. All but two of them were taken under his wing while teaching in the high schools in Norwood and Chaska, two Minnesota towns. Some of the youngsters were .orphans and some had one parent, but all were eager to learn and were handicapped by lack of funds. The orphans aiacK took into his own home, where ho lived with his sister, and paid all their ex penses. Work lllnleult at 'lime. Sometimes when several of the boys were in college at the same time Mack says he had to w.ork hard at writing to pay the expenses. He never refused a rquosH. for money from , any of his "children," although sometime he con sidered them extravagant while at col lege. All his proteges have finished their educations now and despite the fact that ho has earned many thousands of dollars by writing. Maek says he pre fers to teach and live on his compara tively small salary, and he has not written, anything for several months, for, he says, he has no incentive for writing. Two of his "family"- Mack adopted after he came to Washington in 1909. when he resigned from his position to look after one ot his boys who had been taken sick, and who died shortly afterwards. Four of IS "Children" Die. Of the 18, four died uf sickness short ly after finishing their education. Mack came to Menlo. Wash., where ho took charge of the little high school. Here he found two boys, whom he adopted, supported and educated, sending them to the University of Washington, after he had taught them all their subjects in high school. They graduated from the university with honors, one a civil engineer and the othor an electrical engineer. The 13 boys who are alive aro all actively engaged in the professions in which Mack haa educated them. Two are druniiisls, one beliitt in St. Paul and the other In Los Anaeles. Two are university Instructors in the University of Minnesota, where they graduated. One teaches ma.1 lienmtics and tho other is an instructor In C.rr mall. One l'liiim t He I'h uleliin. This latter young man plain l be physician, and la.-t year married a girl who wished lu no to (ieiinany to get her ma.-lcr's deuree. .o he and Ms bride sailed for Ueriuany to continue, their studies, only to be turned back by the beginning of war. Mn' k sent him through normal school, th ImiI versity of Minnesota and llarvald, where he received his master's degree. one is a physician. Ho is also a graduate of the University of Minne sota and is practicing in Minneapolis. One who became a chemist is at pres ent employed bv tho Carnegie Fuel Company In St. Paul. Mack sent him a year to McAllister College and four years at the University of Minnesota, where he took his P. S. and M. S. de grees. A young man who chose to be a broker received his education at the University of Illinois. He started out to be an architect, but changed his ...i t,.if n commercial course. lie graduated four years ago and is now In Minneapolis engaged In tlio lumber brokerage business. He is the best moneymaker of tho "family." In Ills four years out of college he has made ?I0..H0. Other In Prolciudon. Too. inlier are in the following profes sions: Civil engineering, electrical en gineering, mining engineering, uanKini, and dentistry. The mining engineer, who was edu cated at the University of Minnesota, is now working in a mine at Butte, .Mont. The banker received n thorough commercial education and then Mack cet him up in business in a bank in Elgin. NT. l. Mack says that if any of his boys want to start a business ho always gives them enough money to get a good start Ho recently bought an 80-acrc farm for one of them. The dentist lives in Chicago. He had four years at the University of Vl paralso. Mack ays this boy married a wealthy nurse. I,aw Career la Hailed. The bov who studied to be a lawyer lost his health . after his graduation from tho University of Minnesota Law School, so could not practice law. and Is now employed as chief of the Minne sota State Fish and Game Commission, with headquarters at St, Paul. Mack is entirely wrapped up In his boys. Ho says all have turned out well and none has disappointed Mm. He says ho never Intends to marry, and Is content to receive letter from the men. the oldest of whom Is now 35 and tho youngest 22 years. They fre uuentlv call him "dad." He complain that when they pet married, as nve -f them have done, that they are so occu pied that they forget to write to their "dad." Ho has never had a reunion or H II his family, but hopes to uccompMsh this some day. Self-educated and quiet. Mack would not be thought responsible for one or the motit unique philanthropies in tbo world.
