HENDERSON DISCUSSED
EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION
“A splendid success in every way,”
was the impression gained by Prof.
L. D. Henderson, territorial super
intendent of the schools of Alaska,
who returned on Saturday of last
week frem attendance at a convention
held under the auspices of the de
partment of superintendents of the
National Educational association at
Cleveland, Ohio, says the Alaska Dis
patch. Ten thousand educators and
those interested in educational work
attended the great convention. Dele
gates were present from every state
in the union, and Alaska, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippine islands
were represented. State, county and
city school superintendents, as well as
teachers, made up the list of dele
gates.
The convention adopted a pro
gram, to which superintendents and
teachers throughout the nation will
bend their efforts to see effectually
carried out by aid of congressional
notion. This program includes the
public school and the adoption ol
a system of physical culture in all
the schools. Scarcity of teachers
was generally noted and the cause
ascribed was insufficient pay, which
is driving tutors from school houses
to seek other and more remunera
tive lines of endeavor. The con
vention, by a unanimous vote, placed
itself on record as favoring in
creased sauries for school teach
ers. To cany out the program an
annual appropriation of $100,000,
000 will be asked of the federal con
gress.
The Smith-Towner bill, now pend
ing in congress, which provides for
a secretary of education as a mem
ber of the president’s cabinet, was
heartily endorsed.
Prof Henderson says the bill
approved ask;ng for an annual ap
propriation of $100 000,000, would
give Alaska no benefits under its
terms. He is bending his efforts to
see that Alaska gets a slice of this
appropriation, if it is granted by the
congress.
The superintendent said Alaska
teachers have enjoyed raises in their
salaries and there is no complaint
on this score now. He says there
is no shortage of teachers in the terri
tory.
