Education Dept.
Could Install Nome
Vocational School
A state education official told
a group of Nome people last eve
ning that vocational education
courses are available to the people
of Nome at no cost to them.
Jack Finch, director of the
State Dept .of Vocational Educa
tion, and Assistant Commissioner
of Education, met with a group
of interested townspeople includ
ing members of the city council,
the Nome Schol Board, and
others.
Mr. Finch was on a trip through
the area and had been prevailed
upon by Sen. John McNees to
stay over in Nome for a day in
order to give the department’s
views on providing vocational
training here. Mr. Finch said that
there are three requisites for
such instruction: that there is a
need for the training, that the fa
cilities are available, and that
jobs can be provided for those
who take the training.
Mr. Finch said that the Voca
tional Education Dept, cannot
build a boarding facility here—
that would be up to some other
agency—perhaps the Bureau of
Indian Affairs. However, if the
need is shown to exist here the
deparment will lease school facil
ities and provide instructors for
vocational education, for in
stance a diesel mantenance
course.
He pointed out that the action
to obtain any vocational help will
have to be instituted by the Nome
School Board since they have the
primary responsibility for pro
viding education in this district.
Another field in which the vo
cational department can give help
is that of trade extension in
which tradesmen such as carpen
ters are given expert instruction.
In this field the Vocational De
parment finances the entire oper
ation.
Also in this field, he said, that
the department had secured the
services of the Fairbanks Fire
Chief to teach fire prevention and
arson detection to Alaska cities
fire departments—at no cost to
the cities. Nome undoubtedly will
be eligible for this service.
Mr. Finch revealed that he is
resigning from both his state ed
! ucation posts to become super
t intendent of schools at Ketchikan.
i PIONEER AUXILIARY meets
i tonight at 8 in the Igloo.
