Clinton Cray
Former Nome Boy
Is Making Good
• Mr. and Mrs. Dave Gray, par
ents of Clinton Gray, Council
born but raised and educated in
Nome, are in receipt of a letter
from the United States Ind.an
Service, in which a report is giv
en concerning Clinton’s progress
as a government endowed stud
ent at McClymonds High School
located in Oakland, California.
Clinton is the first and so far
the only resident of Northwest
on Alaska, who has been select
ed for further education aloiu;
industrial lines. :n the States
The extension of the Wheeler
Howard Act to include Alaska,
has for the past year enabled the
United States Indian Service,
thru the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs and Alaska field agent Wm.
Paul, to select worthy students of
native or mixed blood for further
educational training in selected
schools jn the States.
Clinton left Nome on the last
trip of the North Star, enrolling
in the print shop department of
the McClymonds School in Jan
uary of this year.

S:a\' Indian Service in writing
of Clinton's progress stated the
following: “Chilton is a fine boy.
I have si idem met anyone more
alert or intelligent and with more
pr noising possibilities.”
This is very gratifying to the
Gray family and to the commun
ity, and will undoubtedly cause
the Alaska Agents of the Indian
Service to make further selec
tions from the Second Division
jfor educational training in the
States. Clinton was a former
i
employee in the mechanical de
partment of the Nome Nugget.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF
PRE-SCIIOOL CHILDREN
_____________
An attempt is being made to;
secure the names of all the child
ren who are to enter the territor
ial school for the first time at the1
beginning of the next school term
in September.
A physical examination will be
given by Dr. Morcom.
The parents who have a child
entering school for the first time
next year will no doubt be glad
to know that their child is in the
.best physical condition possible.
Such defects as decayed teeth,
poor eyesight, impaired speech
and bad hearing are sometimes
present in a child and the parents
are not aware of this fact. If
corrections are necessary they
v.be made during the summer
a:id thus permit the child to be
g r his first school year in better
condition. It is only fair that the
teacher be informed if her pupils
have any physical defects. Ad
justments can often be made for
■the individual child with a physi
cal handicap, which helps to
bring about a more successful &
happy schcol life.
The school will be able to make
more definite plans for the com
ing year if they know the num
ber of beginners to be enrolled.
If your child is to enter school
for the first time next September
please call Mr. Pool's residence
and give name and age of child.
N i charges will be made for a
physical examination.
