School Board
for Anchorage
The first election in Anchorage
will be held August 2, when a
director, treasurer and clerk,
composing a school board for the
Anchorage school district, will be
chosen by the qualified voters.
The election of a school board is
' the initiatory step in the estab
lishment of a public school.
Arthur Lang, clerk of the court,
is the official who sets the ball
rolling in the matter of a school
district, as it is up to him to form
a district when twelve bona fide
residents, by petition, put the
question up to him. This was
done Tuesday, when Mr. Lang
wras here, and he immediately
created a district which is four
miles square and takes in both
sides of Ship creek. He also
named as supervisors of election
L. F. Shaw, J. H. Finley and
Mrs. M. T. Normile. To give
credit to whom credit is due, it
may be said that Mrs. Normile
has been most active in facilitat
ing the formation of the district,
in that she made a personal can
vas of the residence district and
secured the names of children of
school age. This information
was essential in the matter.
Judge David is another who has
been active in urging the school
question.
After the school board is chosen
then the question is up to the
governor, who is ex-officio school
superintendent for Alaska. Un
der the law, but $1,000 is availa
ble for the erection of a school
building in a given district, but
the school board may, in its dis
cretion, use this money and rent
a suitable building, and this will

probably be done, as $1,000 will
be entirely inadequate to erect a
suitable structure for the pur
pose. It is thought that the
number of pupils who will attend
school here, roughly estimated at
90, will require the services of at
least three teachers. This is a
matter within the province of
the school board.
It is very essential that at the
inception of the public schools in
Anchorage, that a capable board
be chosen. Preference should be
given to persons having children
of school age. Many of our peo
ple have expressed the wish that
a woman be placed on the board,
and because of her activity in
aiding in the formation of a school
district, attention is very natur
ally directed to Mrs. Normile as
one in all respects qualified to
act. Others spoken of are Mr.
Finkelstein and Mr. Pilger, act
ive business men and fathers of
children of school age.
