That the public school short
courses in Citizenship conducted
during the school year 1925-26
proved attractive to students is
evidenced by a report recently
issued by Lester D. Henderson,
Commissioner of Education. A
total of dU8 adults tooa ad van t
age of this opportunity to imp
rove their understanding of
English, United States history
and civics, and general element
ary school subjects. Of this
number 101 were aliens, 98
declarants or holders of first
papers, 23 petitioners or applic
ants for second papers, and 86
citizens of the United States.
During the course of the
year three students took out
final citizenship papers, four
teen male application for sec
ond papers, and fourteen took
out first papers. Approximately
two hundred Citizenship Night
School Certificates, provided by
the Territorial department of
education, were issued to stud
ents whose attendance and
progress was such as to warrant
the statement that they had
acquired a fair knowledge of
United States history an i civics.
Schools were maintained in
eleven communities as follows:
Chichagof, Douglas, Fairbanks,
Juneau, Kasaan, Kennecott.
Ketchikan, Latouche, Peters
burg, Sitka, and Tenakee. The
school, term ranged from twelve
to twenty four weeks in length
with the exception of Sitka
where poor attendance made it
necessary to discontinue the
sessions at the close of the
first month.
The total cost to the Territ-i
i
ory was $3,421 or $21.12 per cap
ita for the 162 students in aver
