NO FUNDS For SCHOOL FUEL
The Department «»f Education
has notified the school boards
of Alaska, that infuture no funds
will be procurable for fuel for
school houses, and suggests that
the residents of the various
school districts be asked to do
nate funas for the purpose.
There are no funds for the in
digent, or the Indian and very
little for roads and trails, but
surely there should be funds
sufficient to provide for the edu
cation of the children without
having to go begging.
The director ot the school
board, who also Tv as school tax
collector, refuses point blank to
start out on this begging cam
paign, and we certainly do not
blame him.
The residents of this comnaun
ity pay school tax. income tax
tax on clothing above a certain
cost, tax on movies, tax on trans
portation, tax on drugs, and at
the last territorial legislature a
whole raft of new taxes were
levied, — on all these its a case
of immediate payment, jawbone
won’t do.
As far as the parents of the
1
I
children are concerned, they are
having a hard time these days,
furnishing the young hopefuls
with footwear and warm clothing
Between rocky trails in the sum
mer and the cold in the winter,
jit cost about twenty five dollars
| a year to keep a healthy young
i ster in footwear alone.
Uncle Sam lays great stress
on the importance of tl e rising
generation and there has been
a great deal of oratory to tie
effect that the child]en ate tie
greatest asset that the U S. has,
but if the need of retrenchment
is so great that fuel cannot be
supplied in order for the kids to
learn reading, writing and bith
metic in Alaska in comfort; it
is time to take such assets to
Southern Californi i, where fu»*l
does not have to be considered.
