SUGGESTION FOR CIVIC
ICE SKATING RINK.
At last evening’s council
meeting a communication
was read from Alfred J. Lo
men, manager of the Lomen
Com’l Co., in which he sug
gested the construction of a
municipal ice skating rink to
be located on the corner of
Lane’s Way and Main Street.
Mr. Lomen stated that the
owners of the large lot on
that corner had been appro
ached and that they were will
ing to permit the flooding of
mat property to provide a
skating rink. Thorulf Leh
mann and the Lomen Broth
ers, are the joint owners of
that property.
Decidedly favorable discus
sion took place on this matter
and a committee of the coun
cil was appointed with full
power to act immediately up
on devising ways and means
of providing the suggested
skating rink.
The suggestion in itself, is
one of highly civic progres
siveness. For numerous years
attempts were made to pro
vide such a rink in order to
afford a place in the city
where ice skating could be
indulged in. At the same
time, the safety factor proved
to be just as important, as
there was, and still is, great
danger in the children of
Nome doing their ice skating
on dredge ponds, rivers and
creeks where they might fall
through the ice and drown
before help could be obtain
ed.
In the establishment of a
skating rink in the heart of
the city, the safety factor is
taken care of and the provid
ing of a place for the enjoy
ment of this popular sport
has also been provided.
The two business concerns
are to be commended for
their interest in the matter
and in providing the location
where the rink could be con
structed.
More civic interest and pro
gressive plans for Nome
should be evidenced by not
only the business people of
the city but its residents as
well.

Week In The U. S.
Following is the second ar
ticle in the series dealing with
education week, written by
Sup’t. Bloom of the Public
School.—Editor’s Note.
EDUCATION IN ALASKA
“The public education sys
tem of Alaska compares fav
orably with the best in any
of the forty-eight states. Of
course, it is true that we had
a slight advantage, in that
our territory is newer than
any of the states, and our fore
runners were able to select
from many patterns; but it
has been our good fortune
to have outstanding men
shape our educational pol
icies.
“There is no place within
the realm of the United Stat
es that has a higher standard
for teachers than the Terri
tory of Alaska. Three years
of professional training are
required of elementary teach
ers, and high-school teachers
must have spent five years in
preparation. In spite of the
fact that we are handicapped
in the selection of teachers by
remoteness, the territory has
been able to obtain the best
in teaching ability. This has
been proved by the success of
our high school graduates in
higher institutions and by
their success in all fields of
economic and professional
life. However, teachers should
not take all the credit for the
success of our young people,
but the fact that they possess
that true Alaskan mettle
should not be overlooked.
1 he method oi hnancing
education in Alaska surpass
es methods in any of the stat
es. The bulk of the cost of
operation of our schools is
fairly distributed throughout
the territory, and only a min
or part of this expense must
be met by the incorporated
towns. In practically all the
states this condition is revers
ed, and the cost of maintain
ing suitable schools often plac
es a hardship upon small com
munities. Eighty percent of
the cost of operation of the
Public School at Nome is met
by the Territorial Depart
ment of Education, while the
remaining twenty percent is
met by local taxation.

“We are extremely fortun
ate in having a splendid insti
tution of higher learning. The
University of Alaska is a rap
idly growing institution and
is very satisfactorily meeting
the needs for well trained
citizens. The graduates of our
little University are becom
ing ever more prominent in
the affairs of our Territory.”
