Greatly increased Federal ap
propriations will be available for

partment, said Mr. Schoettler.
Following Mr. Schoettler’s re
marks, which were well received
by those in attendance, Chairman
Walsh introduced Superintendent
Clayton Pool of the Nome Public
School, who in a brief but pleas

building for Nome is one of the
best and most modem he has seen
for some time and the people of
Nome should be proud of such a

Following Mr. Pool’s remarks
Chairman Walsh in a few fitting

the fact that education can and
must be applied here in Nome
on a much larger scale than ever
before anticipated to give our
students and older people the ad
vantages to be gained by modern
vocational education.
