SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATION
No legislation or recent years is of greater signifi
cance to the future of Alaska than those Acts creating
the Territorial Board of Education and entrusting to
this Board complete control of the rural schools an g -
eral supervision of all other educational insti u 1
the Territory except the Alaska College.
These Acts are fraught with great potentialities 101
good and for evil. Will these Board members appreciate
the responsibility placed upon them? Will they accep» 1
as a sacred trust affecting the lives of hundreds of litt
children? Will they be capable of self-sacrifice m mng
hours of study of conditions existing in remote commu
nities? Will they be fair in the midst of controversy, pa
tient in the presence of ignorance and prejudice.
they value Economy, but not more highly than Efficiei
cv ^
The old system of control of rural schools by local
school boards had many faults. In some cases the hand
ling of Territorial funds has been careless and wasteful
to a shocking degree. Many a capable teacher has lost
her job because she yielded to the reckless urge to spank
the Trustee’s naughty child. On the other hand local self
government of the schools has tended to create a sense of
community responsibility. Teachers were accountable to
patrons of the school and sought to be fair to all and of
service to the community.
Let us hope the Territorial Board of Education will
maintain the local school boards as active advisory coun
cils that they will listen carefully to their recommenda
tions and assist, wherever possible, in bringing worthy
school projects to the consummation of the hopes anu
dreams of the people. . , ,
Great authority has been placed in the hands o± the
Board of Education. May they exercise it with such wis
dom as will protect the interests of our children and pro
mote the welfare of our Territory.___#

MI1NTED UNDER THE
FOREST PROGRAM
Ten young men, preferably those
with dependents, who wish to be
come recruits in the local forestry
ranger ranks, are asked to get in
touch at once with the Gateway.
The men will be recruited under
the Roosevelt reforestation pro
gram for the unemployed, receive
$1 per day, food, clothing and
medical care, and work for a per
iod of three months. The above is,
perhaps, the equivalent to S3 per
day.
This was the gist of the message
sent to the Gateway today and, it
was said, is purely an experiment,
and it is believed more men will
be called for to work in other
National Forest areas of the Ter
ritory. Similar action is being pur
sued in Southeastern Alaska.
I Chief Ranger Wm. Sherman in a
j telephone message to The Gateway
| at noon today said it was the in
tent to put these first 10 recruits
to work on the Quartz Creek to j
Cooper’s Landing trail, about
six miles long.
