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.
