DIARY...
When the city council at a re
cent meeting knocked off an ap
propriation of $5000 from the
school budget, plans to buy some
quonset huts to house the high
school bo the grades would have
room in the building, were tem
porarily stymied.
Also stymied, we are sorry to
say, was a p'an to build a w. c.
for the teachers. The teachers
have had no w. c. in the past,
and with the over-crowded con
dition of the school the lack has
presented quite a problem.
In an exclusive interview with
a school official we learn there
are only 6 w. c.’s in the school.
They are apportioned 3 for the
boys and 3 for the girls. Now
with an enrollment of about 300
students and more expected next
year, the traffic is terrific. As
was pointed out by the official,
! 150 divided by 3 is 50 to each
'one, and allowing a minute for
jeach, which is the minimum, it
takes almost an hour for one
complete turnover
Making it worse is the fact
that the peak load occurs from
9:30 to 10:30, creating what
m;ght be called a congestion. To
illustrate the fact that the capa
city is woefullv inadequate, the I
official said, the teachers who;
are in rooms near the facilities
have to remember after certain
' periods to repair to the place to
(manipulate the flushing mechan
isms because during the Child
ren’s Hour the influx of water in
through the escapement is not
fast enough to fill the receptacle
so the children can do it them
selves,
With part of the $5000 it was
planned to move a wall on the
i second floor about, so a small i
room could be provided for the
.additiona1 burden of 11 teachers,
j mostly women, who are now at
I the mercy of the elements, so to
i speak. Otherwise the teachers
will just have to collude and ar
range it so they simultaneously
will not give permission to the
! students to leave the room, so
; they themselves can have a little
j privacy. This is not very satis
factory, however, as after the
[ teachers return they will have
to deny permission a bit longer,
to allow the smoke to clear away
and this will be an additional
strain on the pupils.
In a current issue of Alaska
Life we noticed the statement
that school facilities “at Kodiak
are inadequate.” Such an under
statement we seldom do see and
the only solutiou to the whole
thing of course is a new school,
with a gym. (Do any other
towns this size have a school
