DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE FOR
House of Representatives
From 7th District
During the course of the present campaign, much has been written con
cerning the development of our natural resources. Highways, access roads, water
power, oil, and gas have been placed on a high priority. Not one candidate,
however, has mentioned our most valuable resource; the one possession that
directly affects every person in the state-This could only be our children.
The most carefully planned and developed economy could only come
to grief should we have no one to carry it out.
Alaska is their heritage, we must prepare them for the task that is such
a few short years ahead. . , , . . ,
Alaska has unlimited wealth in any given field. By careful, farsighted
planning, we can insure good home grown management.
Formal education is only part of the planning. Not all our youngsters are
interested or qualified to complete a formal education. Trade and vocational
schools for both boys and girls are a necessity to answer the need.
The youngster of today differs very little from what we were in the 1930's.
They seek stature; they feel the need of identification as an individual. In their
society it is sometimes called "pecking order".
The normal outlet or release would be a job. Our present statutes prohibit
them from obtaining any position that is considered hazardous. I grant they
are protective. They may apply to "sweat shop" days but certainly not to the
present early maturing Alaskan boy and girl.
When a normal outlet is not attained the youngsters will turn their in
terests into less productive channels. Idleness and boredom bottled up in an
active body of fifteen years is potential trouble just waiting to happen. It does.
His appearance in juvenile hearings; the publicity he receives, even though his
name is not appearing in print, has furnished the identification he seeks. His stature
within his own group has grown, he goes up a notch in the "pecking order*. He has
discovered he has an ego and to hold his new position it must be fed.
The foregoing is the pattern and, regardless of race, color or locality, it
runs very true to form. . , „ ... , , „ .
I am fortunate in that I worked and lived with 79 of Alaska s so called
juvenile delinquents for nearly two years. The title, juvenile delinquent, is one
they thoroughly detest. These boys were supposedly the "unmanageable youths
that need to be placed in an institution. From working with these boys, I gained a
knowledge of their ways and their problems, the causes and the results.
The camp policy of firmness and fairness in connection with why . not
"what" when a boy misbehaved eventually earned the confidence of each individual
boy. They in turn chose a staff member as their counselor.
Space limits me to any enlargement of this subject. The point is that it
was very successful and it can be applied elsewhere as successfully as in an institu
t,0n Note: I never again expect to be in such a position so demanding in time
and effort that produced results so gratifying. To rehabilitate one boy is worth
a lifetime of effort. ,
I propose to institute a program of education and rehabilitation for Alaska s
youth to be financed by. a state-wide sales tax.
For the record: My deepest thanks to our present acting comrnissionero^
education and the state board of education, not only for the decision but |ust fot
hearing the case.
I
