IS QUOTED
III CHILD'S ICE
ENTERING SSIIOBL
Leo W. Breuer, Territorial Com
mnssioner of Education, quotes the
following from the law as to the
age of children entering school:
“Occasionally the question raises
as to what age a pupil shall have
attained before entering school.
Up to the present time the law has
not been very definite upon this1
matter, however, in order to clear
up this and to prevent further dif
ficulties that may arise in any
community in Alaska, I shall refer
to Section 15 of the Manual for
School Boards, and quote Section
91 of the School Code (Chapter 97,
Session Laws for 1929), which is as
follows:
“Any child who is six years of
age or who will become >?ix
years of age on or before the
first day of February next fol
lowing' the beginning of school
year shall be considered a child
of school age. A child under
school age shall not be received
into any department of a pub
lic school, except a kindergar
ten. without the consent of the
supeiintendent or of teacher of
such school.”
“I believe that if all teachers
and school boards adhere some
what closely to the provisions in
Section 91 little difficulty should
arise as to the entrance age of
pupils.
“I might say from prsonal ex
perience in the school room that a
child who is younger than five and
a half years upon entering school
is materially handicapped because
he or she is to immature. They
are not able to grasp things as an
older child, and because of their
immaturity they might fail, which
will tend to discourage the child
and parents, and also discourage
the teacher, who no doubt is mak
ing his best effort to instruct the
boy or girl. From personal experi
ence I feel that any child of five or
younger would be much better off
if allowed to have free play and
not be confined to the school room
at that age.”
A half million persons have
taken up their residence in Chi
cago suburbs in the last eight
years.

A yelpig accident occurred in the
Gateway office last night. Alberta
Laughlin’s clog, “Skipper”, who ac
companied her down to the office,
and, while Alberta was receiving
her papers to deliver to the Gate
way’s subscribers, got his tail
caught in a power shafting.
Alberta, when she heard Skip
per’s yelps immediately rushed to
his aid. She tried to rescue the
dog from his impromptu ‘merry-go
round” but received a gash in the
palm of her hand for her endeavor
when the fear-crazed dog snatched
at her. The power was shut off
and the dog finally freed. Skipper
was slightly bruised as evinced by
his moaning.
