IT’LL TAKE A BIT OF DOING
The School Should he at Nome
A NINE-POINT PETITION to the State Board of
Education supporting the establishment at Nome
of the vocational school, has been prepared by the
Chamber of Commerce. A special committee headed
by Don Hoover prepared the petition for presentation
at the board’s meeting in Anchorage, Dec. 1, 2 and 3.
Following is the text of the petition:
We feel that Nome is the ideal site north of the
Yukon River for the location of a vocational school
for the following reasons:
1. It is the judicial center and population center
for Northwestern Alaska.
2. Nome is accessible by water transportation in
the summer and by two major airlines year
around. It is also the bush line center for the
area connecting all villages to Nome thus af
fording cheaper all-round transportation.
3. Adequate police and fire protection.
4. A good, established social climate with bank
ing, hotel, restaurant, and recreational facili
ties available.
5. Moderate mean annual temperatures with em
ployment possibilities locally as well as some
on-the-job training.
6. Excellent hospital and dental services avail
able.
7. Good supply of reliable manpower available
for construction and maintenance of the school.
8. Lower cost public utilities available.
9. A choice of two sites are available for a voca
tional school on thawed ground at no cost to
the State. Adequate water and power facilities
can be easily established on either of these
sites at a minimum cost.

Up-to-Bate Language
Instruction In Alaska
Language learning in Alaska
took a lcao forward with the first
state foreign language workshop
held November 10 through 12 at
Anchorage High School’s brand
new language laboratory. For the
first time, teachers from many
parts of the state came together
to discuss the newest develop
ments in foreign language in
struction, and to hear Professor
Gustave Mathieu, outstanding
authority on automated language
learning, explain how students
can learn to understand and
speak a second language better
than ever before.
Dr. Mathieu emphasized the
importance of listening and
speaking (the “audio-lingual” ap
proach' in learning a new lan
guage, and showed the tremen
dous contribution to audio - lin
gual learning made throughout
the United States by the newly
developed language laboratories.
Four such laboratories already
exist in Alaska: at Petersburg,
Haines, Homer, and Anchorage.
The teachers who use these labs
were present at the workshon to
offer their comments and sug- |
gestions about the value and op- j
oration of labs.
The laboratories consist of I
sound - proofed student booths |
with earphones and activated j
microphones so that students can j
hear themselves speak individual
ly, and electronic equipment to |
play tape recordings to the stu- J
dents. The learners then imitate I
what they hear on the tapes, or j
answer questions, or manipulate
the language in practice exercises.
First Woman Postal Clerk
Observes 100th Birthday
FLATON1A, Tex., (IP)—Alexan
drine Fox, who in 1880 caused
quite a stir when she went to |
work as a postal clerk in the
Flatonia Post Office, celebrated
her 100th birthday Sunday.
Still bright and alert, the frail
centenarian received visitors with
the same zest with which she
tackled her first job at a time
when few women worked in pub
lic positions.
An ardent fighter for women’s
suffrage, Mrs. Fox has voted in
every election since women won
the vote in 1920 and says that
women today ought to take a
more active part in politics.
