SCHOOL SYSTEM 1
IN ALASKA TO :
BE IMPROVED:
_ n
Si
The bill introduced by Senator John n
Ronan providing for normal training fi
courses in the high schools of Alaska si
is regarded as the first step toward p
introducing vocational training in I
Alaskan schools, and also the first
step toward the development of the
high schools into institutions for ad
vanced work. The text of the bill,
which has the endorsement of Com
missioner of Education L. D. Hender
son, is as follows:
“Be it enacted by the legislature of
the territory of Alaska:
“Section X. That school boards in
incorporated towns, cities or districts
maintaining a four-year accredited
high school are hereby authorized to
establish and maintain a normal
school or teachers’ training course in
connection therewith under conditions
as outlined in this act. Such teacher’s
training course shall be two years in
length and shall begin in the twelfth
giiiuc ur iuuii.ii .vtrfti ui tut; mgu hlmiuui
and shall continue through the same
and through a fifth or additional year
of high school work. High schools in
which such teacher’s training courts
are being maintained shall, for the
purpose of this and other acts, be
known as normal high schools.
“Section 2. All graduates of the "
fifth year of a normal high school, -
who are at least 18 years of age, shall
be entitled to an elementary teacher’s
certificate which shall entitle the
holder to teach in the elementary
schools of the territory for a period of
three years. Said certificate shall be
renewable thereafter for a period of
three years; Provided, that the holder
thereof has been successfully engaged
in teaching during one-half of the
period in which the certificate was
valid or in force and has. during
the three years elapsing since the is
suance of the certificate, attended an
institution of learning of a higher
rank than a normad high school for a
period of at least twelve weeks.
“Section 3. It shall be the duty of
the commissioner of education to
authorize the establishment of teach
ers’ training courses in accredited high
schools making application for the
same and no school board shall be en
titled to territorial funds for the main
tenance of such teachers’ training
courses unless the same shall have j
been established by authority of the
commissioner of education and con
ducted in accordance with such rules
and regulations- as he may promulgate
with the approval of the territorial
board of education.
“Section 4. It shall be the duty of
the commissioner of education to out
line the minimum course of study for
each of the two years of the teachers’
training course in normal high schools
to choose the text books which shall
be used in the same, to specify the
minimum qualifications of instructors,
to prepare or cause to be prepared
questions for use in the examination
of students taking the teachers’ train
ing course, and to prescribe rules and
regulations for the conduct of such ex- j
animations and for the general con
duct of said teachers’ training c ourse
in normal high schools.”

FOUR HUNDRED BOATS
TO ACT AS FIRE FIGHTERS
LOS ANGELES. April 12 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Goats are to be given
a thorough trial by the government
as forest tire ^preventers, according to
announcement' by R. H. Charlton, su
pervisor of the Angeles national for
est. Four hundred goats are to be
turned loose along the fire breaks in
the San Bernardino mountains this
summer.
The owner of the goats, W. H. Moore
of Tucson, Arizona, will be allowed to
graze the goats for a nominal sum.
They are to be tried out between
Cajqp Pass and Oak Olenn and if the
supply of weeds and grasses proves
insufficient for the goat appetite, the
herd will be given a wider oppor
tunity.
There is no young timber in the sec
tion in which the goats will be allowed
to graze, said Mr. Carlton, and conse
quently it is felt that they can do no
harm. If by keeping the flre-breaks
clean of the undergrowth that fre
quently causes tires they prevent a
single blaze in the dry season, the ex
periment will have been fully justified
in his opinion.
Mr. Charlton, three years ago, In
troduced some goats into the reserve
but they were not herded, he said, and
wandered away one by one. One by
one they met eath, until practically
all are gone. The 1919 herd is to
carefully guarded. .
