JOIN YOUR FRIENDS AT
SCHOOLMEN MEET IN CORDOVA TO
CONSIDER EDUCATIONAL PRODLEMS
Sunerintendents and school
board members from many
Alaska communities gathered
in Cordova last week for the
annual meeting of the super
intendents’ advisory commis
sion and the state School
Boards Association to consider
problems of schools involved
in formation of boroughs,
school accreditation, teachers
certification and professional
standards, and other matters.
Both groups meeting in joint
I session Oct. 16 heard addresses
by two nationally prominent
I figures. Dr. Wayne O Reed,
deputy commissioner of edu
j cation. United States office of
I education, said that “ . . . (Our)
free public school system, hos
pitable to all special interests
' and beholden to none, is a ma
jor support of our economic
prosperity, guardian of our lib
erties and assurance of our
well-being." He pointed o u t
! that the dimensions <f our
national labor force will
change drastically; in the next
ten years there will be 45 per
cent more workers under 25
years of age; employers will
find they have a larger stake
in a sound educational sys
tem. Young people coming in
to the labor force during the j
1960’s will have to be prepar
ed for a more rapidly changing
and complex world of w o r k.
They will need better training,
better guidance and counsel
ing. Reed emphasized t h a t a
solution to this problem called
particularly for study and ac
tion on the part of school ad
ministrators and boards of ed
ucation; their policies and de
cisions directly determine the
quality of education.
Dr. H. Thomas James, pro
fessor of education, Stanford
4-H Club News

A Halloween party commit
tee was formed, with Jay as

Dr. C. H. Dearborn will be a
project leader for photography
this year.
The next meeting will be
Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the club
house.
Jayson Dearborn,
Acting recorder
University, illustrated ways :n
which money invested in ed
ucation produces a greater i
turn through economic devel
opment than any other form o:'
capital expenditure. He point
ed out that in a 1958 studv
lifetime earnings for people
over 25 years of age with less
than an eighth grade education
could be expected to be $130.
000, while those with a high
school education could be ex
pected to earn $258,000. Those
with a college education or
above could expect to earn
nearly $200,000 additional, or
about $435,000. Dr. James ex
pressed the hope that the Leg
islature of Alaska would see fit
to increase its investment in
education as a means of pro
moting more rapid economic
development in the state
