SATURDAYS, THE “IRON CLAW”
At its recent meeting the board of
education reviewed the school year
just coming to a close and laid some
plans for the coming year.
Beginning the year with quarters
so cramped that it was practically im
possible for the teachers to do thor
oughly efficient work, the end of the
year finds the school-population of the
tow^.housed in a building second-to
none in Alaska. Beginning with
equipment that has already been
scrapped, we finish with an equip
ment that so far as it goes is of per
manent and satisfying quality. For
much of this provision we are indebted
I to the Engineering commission.
Whether the predicament in which we
found ourselves as touching the needs
of our boys and girls could have been
avoided or not is no longer the ques
tion now that they have been relieved;
the fact is that the commission came
largely and generously to our help.
That further expansion of consider
able magnitude is desirous and abso
lutely essential to the welfare of the
school goes without saying. We are
on the frontier but we desire oui
children to have all advantages possi
ble. This means the completion of the
| school-building and its fitting up sc
I that the needs of a modem school car
j be met.
First of all with the floor space al

The Sign Man g
hand we need laboratories. The time
is past when the sciences can be i
taught by lecture and textbook alone.
It is just as essential in geology, bot
any, physics and zoology, as it is in
chemistry that the pupil should do < .
perimental work. The laboratory
takes away drudgery from study.;
Such work-shops need not be fitted un j
elaborately but they are absolutely
needed.
To the sciences must be added man
uel training that will appeal and be
helpful to both boys and girls. No
girl should be without some knowledge !
of cutting and fitting and designing.
No boy should be without some defin
ite knowledge of tools. The 1‘arent
Teahcers’ association stands ready to
provide everything that its resource.
ran provide for these departments.
All that is wanting is room.
Nor can any school building be com
| plete without an auditorium of sorts.
One-half the second floor could be de
I voted to such an assembly room and
j the benefits would be great,
i Other courses should be added to
the study-groups. When one realizes
the attraction that business-life has
for boys today, and how much advan-.
taged a boy is if he has some prelim
! inary business training, it is the high
est wisdom that for those who expect!
only a short schooling after the grades
are finished, a commercial coursp,
I practical and purposeful should be
: provided.
| It is of course a question just at
■ what age children should be sent to
I school, but today there is no question
j about the merit of the kindergarten.
! The only drawback to it is the ex
j pense. Certainly the manuel and coin
| mercial and laboratory needs should be i
J considered before the kindergarten for|
, the same reason that the practical i
j
: everywhere has first call over the I
; theoretical. But even this is hardly a j
fair comparison for the kindergarten i
as handled today is a thoroughly prac
| tical institution in our American
: school system.
»
I Nor must the treatment of the
I school grounds be forgotten. Next
year is the third year of school his
tory. Kvery tradition surrounding
our schools declares for well-kept
j
‘ grounds about the building. This can
' be done at comparatively little ex
j pense. We believe that all these needs
| will bo met within a very short time.
That the last year in its methods
and results has been highly pleasing
, m me Irani goes wimoui saying, i ne
I board had hoped that the coming year
would find no changes in the school
faculty. Just in passing it may be
1 stated that we doubt whether a super
ior faculty to our own is found in
Alaska. In addition to their normal
training practically every member of
the teaching force has received a de
gree from coiiege or university, lluf
it seems that three of our teachers
have formed other plans and the board
reluctantly coincides with their wish
es. These three are Miss Bennett and
Miss Clark, who have been with us
j for two years, and Mrs. Wagner was
was called upon in an emergency and
lias, and as have the other teachers,
discharged her duties in a most satis
factory manner. To fill the places
thus made vacant. Miss Frederick
Deireling, a graduate of Bellingham,
Mrs. Anna B. Ridgeway, of Washing
ton university, and Miss Vera B.
Waller, also a graduate of Washing
ton, have been chosen.
The success won by those leaving us
is shared in by those who will again
be with us. Mrs. Vint will supervise
the primary grades, Miss Record will
be with the grammar school, Miss
Reat will be the supervisor of the high
school and Mr. Sheets will again he
our superintendent of schools,
f The board knows that the townspeo
ple will gladly cooperate with the new
board in whatever plans it may lay
down. Parent, board and teacher
I must be united always to make our
schools a success.
i The retiring board consisting of
Mrs. Dr. Reedy and Messrs. Wendler:
t
j and McBride have had some trying j
I situations to meet. But in every mat
j ter of business the board has been an
absolute unit. No vote has been tak
en until all could vote aye or no. i
Through this newspaper the board de
sires to express its appreciation of the
cooperation of the townspeople during
the year, and to bespeak for the com
ing administration the good will and
undivided support of the town. I

FARMERS ARE URGED
TO RAISE FISH “CROPS”
NEW V ORK, April 21.—So great is
the possibility of making lish ponds
important adjuncts of farms that the
New York State College of Agricul
ture is devoting much research to find
ing a food for breeding lish which will
make the industry profitable.
In time, says a bulletin, every farm
will have its own lish pond, stocked
with bass, perch, sunfish and other
warm water fishes, and, where cold,
running water is available, pools in
which trout will thrive.
Practically every farm has facilities
for making a small lish pond without
great cost. Usually this can be ac
complished by the erection of a small
and comparatively inexpensive dam
across a pasture brook. At a cost al
together inconsiderable compared to
the profit this pond can be stocked
with sunfish, shiners, bass, perch and
bullheads, which would require com
paratively little attention.
