ONE OF THESE BEAUTIFUL TEA SPOONS
Matanuska Can
Get Public School,
Writes Governor
The following communication will!!
be -of interest to the resident.; of the I
Matanuska valley:
Juneau, Alaska, August 2, 1016.
i Mr. Charles E. Herron, Anchorage,
| Alaska: I have your letter of July 24 ,
1 with reference to the organization of •
, a school district in the Matanuska
valley near the junction of the rail
road. I note you say that there arc ;
36 school children and that every boat
brings up some new families.
In reply I have to advise you that !
school districts outside of incorporat- :
ed towns in the Territory are created
by the clerk of the district court in I
the judicial division in which they i j
are situated, upon petition. This peti- !
tion must specify, as near as may be. ;
the location and boundary of the pro- i
posed school district, the number of
people, the number of families, and j
the number of children between the i
, ages of 6 and 20 years resident there
) in, and such other material facts as
] tend to show the necessity for the
j establishment of a school district. The 1
) petition must be signed by not less : i
j than 12 persons of adult age who are 1■
j citizens of the United States or have
) declared their intention to become
! such, and who reside within the boun
| daries of the proposed school district.
) A school district must not embrace
> more than 40 square miles of terri
| tory, nor contain less than 20 white
> children between the ages of 6 and 20
I years.
. I have, therefore, to suggest that
you notify the people of the proposed
school district to proceed in the man
ner above indicated and forward the
petition to the clerk of the court at
Valdez. I may add that when the dis
trict is regularly established, this of
fice will make provision for the build
ing of a school house at a cost of not
more than $1,000, this amount being j
limited by the law to that amount, 1
and for the maintenance of the school,
together with supplies etc., for a pe
riod of nine months or less, according 1
to the time that the school house may
i, be ready for occupancy.
i I am Yours very truly,
J. F. A. STRONG,
| Governor, ex-officio Superintendent
of Public Instruction.
