ALASKA NATIVE SCHOOLS ARE
UNDERSTAFFED IS REPORT
Juneau .Alaska, (Special)—Alas
ka Native Service schools are gen
erally understaffed, inadequately
equipped and overcrowded accord
ing to Bob Druxman, Juneau pub
lic relations counsel who recently
made an inspection of the Arctic
and the Interior for ANS. He said
that despite these conditions, ANS
is making progress in its program
to educate and make the Alaska
Native self-sufficient. He pointed
out, however, that faster progress
could be made with adequate fa
cilities.
He blamed part of the teacher
shortage to the fact that many peo.
pie accept teaching positions only
to get to Alaska for a year or two
and do not keep their jobs long
enough. The turnover is too high,
he said. Lack of sufficient funds
to hire teachers is another reason.
On the subject of equipment
he was particularly critical of the
books used in ANS schools. Whil<
suitable for Stateside instruction
their material is not applicable tt
Alaska in many ways.
He also condemned the presen
system for students’ toilets. Al
present, they are furnished onlj
with outdoor privies. He reconv
mended that indoor chemical toi
lets be installed not only for com
fort and sanitation, but so that the
' Native people will then install then
in their homes. The present type o:
toilet is not attractive enough tc
the average Native for him to in
stall in his home.
More school buildings'are needer
said Druxman, in order to accorn
module more students. He saic
that he saw as many as fort>
students in one class room which i‘
too many to teach efficiently al
one time.
