U ASIIINCTON. July Ifc A resolu
tioil has beet] intrnduicd in emigres;
by lion Charles A Sulzer, delegati
front Alaska, wherein be seeks tc
have extended to the territory 01
Alaska the same rights and privilege;
as are accorded the several states tin
der the act id February 23, I'.tlT, pro
tiding Tor the promotion of vocational
| education. This law is commonly
known as the SmithHughes act. It
the delegate succeeds in having tin
resolution adopted the territory ot
Alaska will be paid by the federal
government not less than $15,000 an
nually up to and Including the fiscal
year 1023, and not less than $110,00u
per year thereafter.
The Smith Hughes act, which was
passed but a lew weeks before Mr
Sulzer took bis seat in congress, ap
plies to every state in the t.'nion, but
does not extend to Alaska. The dele
gate believes and will attempt t<.
prove to congress that Alaska, more
than any state, is in need of and is
fU>UIH villP III 'll. t'iirlit. ...,! ..... .1.
ot this act, owing to climatic, Ira tin
portation, agricultural and industrial
conditions in the North.
As the present session ot congress
is drawing to a close, and In-cause the
majority and minority leaders have in
diealed that no business will he con
sidered cm ept tin- appropriation
measures and tile new revenue hill
there is some doubt as to whether or
not it will be •possible to secure favor
able action on lilts resolution at this
time. The delegate Is confident, how
ever, that it he is not successful in
the attempt, it will succeed shortly
after congress convenes again in lie
cem her.
The Smith-Hughes Act
The SnUth-liughes act is entitled:
"An act to provide for the promotion
of vocational education; to provide
for co-operation with the states in
the promotion of such education in
agriculture and the trades and indus
tries; to provide for co-operation witii
the states m the preparation of (each
I ers of vocational subjtt-ts; and to up
_ propriate money and regulate its ex
penditurw
I Section 1 of the act provides that
"there Is hereby annually appropri
ated out ot any money In the treus
I ury not otherwise appropriated the
sums provided in Sections 2, 1! and I
of this act. to be paid to the respec
tive states for the purpose of co-oper
ating with the states in paying the
salaries of teachers, supervisors and
directors of agricultural subjects, and
teachers of trade, home economics
and industrial subjects, and in the
preparation of teachers of agricul
ture, trade, industrial and home eco
nomic subjects, etc."
Agriculture
Section 2 of the act provides for the
appropriations of money, covering a
1 period of years, "for the purpose ol
co-operating with the states in paying
the salaries of teachers, supervisors
I or directors of agricultural subjects "
And after setting for the the sec
eral amounts that are appropriated
for the years to come, the section
reads
"Said sums shall be allotted to the
states in the proportion which their
rural population bears to the total
rural population in the I'nited States,
not Including the outlying posses
sions, according to the last preceding
! i’nited States census: Provided, that
1 the allotment of funds to any state
shall ,.ot be less than a minimum of
$5,1)00 tor any fiscal year prior to and
including the fiscal year ending June
30, 1923. nor less than $10,000 for
any fiscal year thereafter "
j Thus, under this section, if the res
olution introduced by Delegate Sulzer
is adopted. Alaska will receive annu
ally, for the furtherance of agricul
tural education, the sum of $5,000.
and after 1923 It will receive for that
purpose $10,000 annually
Various Subjects Included
Section 3 of the act provides:
"That for the purpose of co-operat
ing with the states in paying the sal
arias of teachers of trade, home eco
nomics and industrial subjects, there
Is hereby appropriated for the use of
the states" certain sums of money
which are to be divided among states
in the same manner and proportion
as the money appropriated in the pre
vious sections for agricultural educa
tion.
So, also, under this section, the ter
ritory of Alaska would receive not
less than $5,000 for the purposes stated
until 1923, and after that year the
I amount would be doubled. Of this ap
I propriation, not more than 20 per cent
| could be used exclusively for the hon
| economics course.
Preparing Teachers
In Section I of the act it Is pn
vided “that for the purpose of <<
operating with tin* states in prcparin
teachers'’ that they may he able !
cue n^t ruction-- in tlie subjects met
tinned ill the first three sections, (I I
1 tain sums are appropriated, to he di
vided among the states as in Section:
J and .*!
Thus under tiiis section also. .Mask;
would receive $r».hoo annually untl
1 and not less than 110,000 i
year thereafter.
Other Features
The rest of the act Is devoted to
prescribing the manner In which the
money must he spent by the states,
and under whose direction. In Alaska
the money would he spent under tin
direction of the territorial hoard ol
education, which would be required tr
submit its plans to the federal hoard
for approval.
While the money for the general
education of young men and women
in the territory in agriculture, trade
home economics and industrial sub
jects could he used in all parts of
Alaska, tin* appropriation for the prep
e unit ion of teachers would very likely
have to go to one Institution. If the
hoard of education saw lit, the money
might be used In supporting chairs iu
the territorial agricultural college and
school of mines, or in any other InstU
tn11 on upon which tin- hoard might
decide.
Dig Help to Alaska
That the adoption ot tin* resolution
; \'iil mean a great deal for Alaska.
wh»*re every dollar obtainable Is
needed badly to educate tin* ever-in
creasing number of children, is plainly
evident, and the Minis derived Iron,
this source will meet a need, the deb
gate points out, that would not. in till
likelihood, In* met in any other‘way
Idelegate Sulzer is in hope of secur
ing a hearing before the committee
on education in the near future, at
which time he purposes to make
strong representations as tq the im
portance of the resolution and tin
need for prompt action
In any event, whether the resole
tion is adopted at this session or next
winter, it is not likely that the tern
tory would he in a position to take
advantage of the benefits until next
year. Hut the aim of the delegate
will be to have the act extended to
Vlaska at the earliest possible date
