i. S. WILL COMPILE
DATA ON TEACHERS
First Comprehensive Survey
of Its Kind to BE Made
by Government.

A million American school teachers
will be requested to give pertinent infor-
nation about their professional work
under a study already begun by the
United States Office of Education. A
QUESTIONABLE is being prepared which
will be sent to the teachers to constitute
one of the greatest educational informa-
ton gathering programs ever launched
by the Government.
The inquiry will be sent to each
teacher, and each is requested to answer
the questions, all of which are confiden-
tial This is one phase of the survey on
teacher training being conducted by au-
thority of Congress, DR.. Frazier pointed
out, and will elicit important facts d.
rect from the teachers themselves.
In compiling the inquiry, the COM
nittee conducting the survey will avoid
asking personal questions that might
seem presumptuous. Questions will be
confined to the general nature OF the
survey. which calls for an investigation
of teaching qualifications and the meth
DDS and facilities employed in training,
Dr. Frazier said.
Although tentative in form at the
present time, Dr. Frazier stated that in
a general way the inquiry will call for
information in the type of school the
teacher is employed in, whether kinder
garten, elementary, Junior high, high,
vocational, part-time, normal, teach
ers' college, college, university, or pro-
fessional school. The size of the town
in which the teacher teaches and the
number of members on the faculty will
also be included as questions.
Questions about the Mature of the

NAV also be asked to find out the extent
of teachers being compelled to supple
ployment. ~
Something of the teachers environ
ment may also be investigated, DR..
Frazier said. as it is desirable to know
the background of the teacher. An in
uuiry of the character, If included in the
final draft of the QUESTIONABLE, will in
volve a statement about the teachers

mother. and a brief comment on the
fathers occupation, he pointed out.

the actual training he has had for that
work will be asked More detailed in
quiries will be made about the training
Of the teacher generally The time ele-
ment will also be taken into account,
such as questions about when and where
the teacher took his last training.
Turning to the professional work it
self, it has been tentatively suggested,
DR.. Frazier explained. that the teacher
be asked to state the hours per day and
the number of months per year he
teaches. The salary payments whether
on a 10, ii or IL month basis, will be
investigated also. An inquiry about

He doesn't look like mill man when he's in town with a white collar and bellies up to the bar and demands a pine apple sundae, but he's fuz- tailed wonder when he's in the hills and has the old stamps pounding on the highgrade from the Sonny Fox mine. The mine is named after him, even if 1t is the rapidly-groWing famous Downey 8z Babcock gold mine in the Nuka Bay district And he's a mill man even if he is only 12 years old and the grand son Of MT. and Mrs. D w Dow ney. He's the youngest mill man iii Alaska, if not in the world and he's in town with his first cleanup. He's probably the worlds champion highgrader too.

After leading the way in business in several camps of the Territory and pioneering in airway activities in Anchorage A. A. Shonbeck of that city is showing the the farmers of the Matanuska Valley how to do it, cording to w T. White, in charge of animal husbandly for the U. S. Experimental Farm Service.
 After an investment of approximately S1OOOO be- ginning with the purchase of his farm of 320 acres last fall Matanuska Shonbeck has cut 200 tons of oat wheat and vetch hay which he is selling at $40 ton thus practically getting back his investment in the first year of operation
 That is record in Alaska in the farming game and that will stand up anywhere in the States, it is said Shonbecks operations being watched with in terest by the officials of the Alaska Railroad and the Agricultural Experiment Service furnishing material for the campaign to bring settlers into the railroad belt
Seward daily gateway., 1930-10-27

Shonbeck's farm is about two miles from Matanuska and about one quarter mile from the rail- road. When he purchased the ground there were 90 acres cleared and part of this was put into oats and wheat and oat- vetch seeding at the beginning of the season. In spite of d backward and wet season, the crop did well and the resulting fodder IS in great demand The Alaska Cuides, nc.. with their SO head of horses mean Matanuska Ere using quantities of the hay for wintering their stock and there is a steady demand from the dairymen.
 In addition to the 90 acres cleared, shonbeck is clearing an additional 40 acres, and besides tie hay will put in barley and oats for grain next season. He lis raising some vegetables but is making hay and grain his chief standbys
 He has the best of modern implement equipment including new thresher, a binder, now ing machines, hay baler and a tractor He is employing three to four men on the farm, and it is believed that the time is not far distant when he will intro duce livestock on a conSidera- ble scale for feeding purposes, using his own provender.
 It is pointed out that he is demonstrating beyond doubt the farming possibilities of the sec- t1on, and altho he has the ad- vantage of the necessary money to go at the proposition on a large scale, it should by no means discourage the smaller homesteader who might have longer time to go to reach the same goal.
