JOBLESS TEACHERS
PLEDGE:DPOS|T|0NS
Three Normal "Grads" Storm
School Board and
Exact Promise.

Three pretty Wilson Normal School
graduates Of the class Of last June
stormed members of the Board or Edu-
cation at their regular meeting yes
terday afternoon and obtained posi-
tive assurance from f. c. Graham
that all appointments of teachers pc
tween now and January 81 Will De
made from among the more than
score unemployed June graduates.
The novel tactics employed by the
girls. who presented a petition signed
by eight OF their number, were taken
in good humor by the board members.
The seriousness Of their plight was
accentuated by DR.. Frank w. Ballou
when he obtained authorization from
the board to have the United states
Bureau of Education make survey
Of the Wilson and Miner NORMAL
School and undertake to furnish the
board with facts and recommendations
which would indicate what shouid De
the future policy for these schools.
Signers of Petition.
Miss Helen E. Daum was the
spokesman for the unemployed June
graduates. She was accompanied by
Misses Lucille A. Grain and Jessie M
Standish Other signers OF the petit
ton were Cecilia Nichols, Katherine
E. Schneider. Elsie NJ. Ewers, Cathe-
rine Ruth and Lillian NJ. Krause.
1t was brought out that the par
ticular anxiety of the girls IS that
they be appointed to teacherships be-
fore the graduation of the February
class of "a girls from the Wilson Nor
NAL School. which would, naturally,
not enhance their cause, as the Feb
ruary names would be merged with
their own on the waiting list.
Need for the United States Bureau
of Education survey, which, according
to DR. Ballou. will begin promptly, is
caused by the fact that the normal
schools here are nearing their maxi
mum enrolment and the graduates
annually completing their work at
these schools have reached number
more than sufficient to supply the an
nual need for teachers in the local
schools.
Suggestion is made that 1t might
be practicable to abolish the policy
of automatically admitting pupils to
the normal schools upon the receipt
of a high school diploma This. 1t is
believed. might cut down the enroll
ment at the normal schools.
Another question advanced is
whether the graduates should be en-
couraged TO seek positions outside OF
Washington.

CONCENTRATING IN INTERIOR

Road work will be started imme- diately as weather conditions permit
 on the Kodiak road, according to flaw ley Sterling, supt. of this district for the Alaska Road Commission who
 passed thru Seward this week en route to his Anchorage headquarters. MT. Sterling has just returned from the superintendent conference at Ju- neau the session there lasting four days. The Kodiak road is a five-mile project running from the town to the Abberts' sheep ranch and connecting several other ranches between the two points.
 With respect to the Seward district, MT. Sterling said there was nothing planned at the present time, the only work in this particular district being confined thus far, to the Kodiak prof. ect, the continuation of the Homer road and, the Illiamni bay project to Illiamni village; the latter will prob ably be fully completed this summer. Aside from some maintenance work in the Anchorage area, no new work has been outlided for that region either. ,'
 There will be crew of. approxi- mately twelve men over at Kodiak; like number at Homer, and perhaps about ten men at Illiamni. MT. SterI- ing said he would have a payroll of about 150 men under him this sea son, which is about the same number as he had last season. The Mckinley National Park road work has been cut down considerably for no n new sss con, struction work will be carried on what, ever. with the exception of mainten: ance over the P miles now existing. !
 t is planned by the commission to. concentrate the bulk of the work on the Circle road, also the Riehardson trail from Fairbanks to Mccarthy, the plan being to complete both of these projects within the next three years.
