BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

William Gilbert Beattie was born in Sparta, Illinois, on April 27, 1874. His family moved to

Kansas in 1885. After three years of crop failure they moved to Oregon City, Oregon. As a

teenager he taught school. In 1901 he graduated from the University of Oregon.

He moved to Alaska to work as teacher and principal in Wrangell in 1901-1902 and moved back

to Oregon to teach for the 1903-1904 school year. In 1905-1911 he was a teacher and

superintendent of the Sitka Training School (Sheldon Jackson). While he was in Sitka he built

many buildings on campus, including one on solid rock when the Board of Missions in New

York wanted it built in what was a swampy area. He was fired for insubordination.

Mr. Beattie was Superintendent of Native Schools in SE Alaska from 1911-1916. He spent

about 3 weeks per month on a boat visiting schools in many Southeastern Alaska villages

He was sent to Metlakatla, Alaska, from 1917-1919 to oversee a government school. There he

met Father Duncan and Edward Marsden.

In 1920-1926 Beattie was employed as Professor of Education at the Western Oregon Normal

School. He worked in the Extension Division at the University of Oregon from 1926-1947.

At some point during his career he was superintendent in College Grove, Oregon.

While in Metlakatla he clashed with Father Duncan who closed the store, cannery, and water

supply in a dispute with the Natives. William Beattie cut the chain and lock on the water supply

forcing it open. In 1927 he was investigated by Congress for ruining Utopia in Metlakatla. His

word was accepted by Congress. In 1937 he was again investigated by Congress and accused of

ruining a Utopia.

In 1954 Beattie wrote Marsden of Alaska: A Modern Indian (New York, 1955). He died in April

of 1966.
