School Administrators’
Conference at Juneau
(Continued from Page Three)
expense.
The need for curriculum revi
sion is keenly felt by many ad
minis'rators. There -are a number
of “die-hards,” however, who
don’t want any changes.
As an example, an attempt was
made to make biology an elective
subject. Despite the fact that only
four of the 48 states require stu
dents in high school to take bio
logy, in Alaska it is a required
course.
A very lively debate resulted,
headed by Dr. Ryan of Fairbanks,
who is for the retention erf biology
as a required subject, and Mr.
Danielson of Ketchikan, who
wants it changed to elective. After
a lengthy discussion the admin
istrators voted 7 for and 7 against,
the remaining ten who were there
abstaining from the vote.
Mr. Boe, who feels that the Al
aska curriculum needs consider
able revision, voted against the
present status of biology.
Another subject discussed at
length was world history. Most
administrators feel that the course
is a good one to keep as a required
subject, but that it should not be
given to freshmen.
Relative to the Retirement Law,
opinions of the attorney general
were read and discussed to clarify
certain aspects of the law. Suf
ficient to say that the law is in
effect, that already retired teach
ers benefit by its provisions. It’s
a good law.
Besides the general meetings at
which the aforementioned prob
lems were studied, there were
smaller committee meetings. Mr.
Boe was a member of the Refund
Revision Committee.
Regarding problems pertinent
to the Nome Public School, Mr.
Boe met with the Territorial De
partment of Education Supervis

Certain very definite plans for
£he Nome Public School were dis
cussed at length. These plans will
be submitted to the Nome School
Board, and if adopted, will be
made public in due time.
Plans were started for the next
meeting of the Alaska School Ad
ministrators. As several topics,
some not mentioned herein, need
much study before the legislature
convenes, it was considered ur
gent that the administrators meet
again in the fall, probably in
October.
