Federal Funds Requested
For Alaska Schools
Dr. James C. Ryan. Commis
sioner of Education, announced
that ho is making application to!
the Federal Works Agency, un
der the second Community Fac
; ilities Act, for a $65,000 grant to
, supplement city and Territorial
i school funds to meet increased
expenses brought about by the
war.
This amount would be used to
i increase the salaries of teachers
; by $200 a year. Dr. Ryan pointed
out that the cost of living in
Alaska has risen from 25 to 30
percent during the last year, and I
that teachers are being asked to
live on the same salaries which
were in effect in 1939. He said
that many teachers have been
lost because of the lower salaries
now being paid, and others have
indicated they will leave at the
end of the school year.
Dr. Ryan said that although
the Territoria Legislature appro
priated more money than ever
for schools in 1941, the change
of events since then have
brought the expense of operating
the schools to a point where ad
ditional funds are needed.
