ALASKA NATIVE
 SERVICE CL05ING
 OUT ITS SCHOOLS
Official Word Given Terr, ANS Director Dale
 ANS Direefor Ryan

The Alaska Native Service has sent notice to Dr. James O. Ryan, Territorial Commissioner of Educa- tion, that it is closing schools which it has been operating at Fort Yukon, EaineS, Juneau-Douglas, Ketchikan, Nome and Cordova
 The letter, signed by ANS Director of Education George A. Dale and approved by ANS General Superin- tendent Don c. Foster, states that authority for the closure has come from the Office of Indian Affairs to abandon all schools in cities and towns where Territorial schools exist. A postscript to the letter de- clareS that the instructions for this action are incorporated in the ac- tion of the Senate Appropriations Committee
 Dale writes Ryan that, in each of the communities, with the excep- ton of Nome. ANS is prepared to make the buildings and equipment available to the Territory or to the local school boards on a use permit
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-06-20

basis. The Nome building was ex- cluded because it is in such un- satisfactory structural condition
 Ryan says he intends to contest the idea of use permit" for the Fort Yukon building if the Territory does take over the schools. He said this building was built by ANS as a replacement for building destroyed by fire after the Territory had turn ed it ever to ANS. Ryan declares the Fort Yukon building should be considered Territorial property with out any attached strings.
 The Territorial Education Com missioner states that he has inform ed the Board of Education of the action by the Native Service. He said that he does not know where he will find money to operate the schools because of a lack of funds in the Territorial Treasury and the limitations on his work placed there by the Territorial Board of Ad- ministration.
 Dale told Ryan, however, that ANS will open a one-room school at Saxman. near Ketchikan. which will accommodate soine of the stu dents affected by the Ketchikan closing. He said that the school at Kanakanak will also be closed be- cause attendance there has dropped below 10 students. Dale expressed the hope that these children would be accommodated at the Dillingham; school.
 ANS will also discontinue furnish ing teacher for native children at Bethel and Hoonah. The town of Hoonah has already received use permit for the ANS school building

there but only part of the Bethel facilities will be made available as ANS wants to keep the building for use of it's other personnel Native Service schools at Sitka and Rake will also be discontinued by the order. The town of Sitka has already agreed to provide school facilities for those formerly enrolled in the ANS school there. At Rake, an independent school district was recently formed to manage it's own problems thereby relieving ANS of any responsibility there.
 Dale says the schools affected will be closed in July and will not, of course, be opened again in Sep tember.
