 Two new schools have been opened along the Alaska Rail- road, one at Curry and the other at Moose Creek. Both are spec iai schools as neither place has the required number of students to establish district. After having been discontinued for two years the Healy school has been re-opened.
 Adds Two Teachers
 Two new teachers were added this year to the faculty at Fair banks. both in the elementary school. Due to the large number of pupils enrolled in the seventh and eighth grades, which were taught by one teacher, it was necessary to discontinue the kin dergarten temporarily, and use the teacher from that department in the elementary school, making possible separate instructors in the seventh and eighth grades.
 Fairbanks is erecting an annex to the main school building which will soon be ready for oc- cupaney. It is connected with the main building by enclosed passage ways. It will provide a gymnasium on the main floor and five class rooms on the second floor. Several recommendations were made to the School Board for improving the old building and il is probable that :. number of them will be made during the winter. and the remainder before the opening of the school year next Fall. A slight increase in enrolment was noted there.
