PREFERENCE GIVEN
W. K. Keller. Commissioner of
Education, has been a consistent
advocate of “Alaska for Alaskans.”
During his long service as Super
intendent of Schools in Fairbanks
and in Juneau, he followed the pol
icy for giving preferential employ
ment to Alaska teachers, other
qualifications being equal. Imme
diately after assuming the office
of Commissioner of Education, he
advised all school boards to give
preference to Alaska teachers. By
following this policy, Alaska teach
ers have been given employment,
to the mutual advantage of the
; children, the Alaska teachers and
; the Territory. There are now less
| than half as many “Chechako”
teachers coming to the Territory
now, than there were a few years
ago.
This policy has resulted in giving
employment ta dozens of Alaskans,
in reducing the number of teachers
who come to Alaska for only a year
or two, and then leave, in provid
ing more responsible teachers for
our children and to the general
stability of the school system. It
took a recommendation by the
Commissioner of Education to bring
this about.
Alaska is fortunate in having a
man of Mr. Keller’s ability and
foresight as he/id of the Territory’s
school system. His policies have
made him an outstanding educa
tor, not only in Alaska but in the
nation. He should receive the un- i
qualified support of the voters.

ed in a very light and brilliant manner with *
MUCH MUSIC AND SINGING *
Several new song hits. This feature is the cleverest, most fasci- J
nating ever seen here and something no one is too old or too J
young to enjoy hugely. With it we have an unusual Vaudeville i
and musical two-reel featurette that is very good. There is also •
a Fable and an interesting News. This 13-reel program is worth ■
double admission, but we are leaving it at regular prices so every- ■
one can come and enjoy it. ■
