A territorial board of education and

about 10000, with 5000 children at
tending the forty-two white public
schools, there is as yet no territorial
board of education, examining board
or superintendent to govern such
schools"

Of education be made up of the cover
nor, secretary and treasurer of the ter.
ritory and that it appoint the two SUI
perintendents of schools. The board
Is to have power to grant territorial
educational diplomas" "life diplo-
mas and first grade certificates" to
properly qualified teachers. 1t is speci-
lied, however, that normal school diplo-
mas or state certificates from any of
the states in the Union shall be ac-
cepted as satisfactory evidence of fit
ness TO teach in the Alaskan schools.
