 The mother daughter banquet scheduled for May T has been post poned and the new date will be an- nounoed later.
 The entertainment committee pre- sented a mixed chorus of high school students in three numbers. The songs were, "The Old Oaken Bucket "Juanitap and stars Of the Summer Night" They were well executed.
 Don Foster, Director of the Alaska Native Service, was guest speaker and gave very interesting talk on the school system in Alaska from the time the Russians entered the Territory in 1785 until the present time.
 Foster stated that i'll l.ie period of 1785 to 1867, when the Russians had control of the school system, there was practically no system at all if any in most of the sections. In 1867 to 1884 after the United States had purchased Alaska from the Russians, the U s. Army had control of the schools and the im- provement was far from satisfactory. In 1885 to 1900 Congress passed an act providing educational facilities for the children in Alaska but in 1905 the Nelson Act came into ef- feet incorporating towns which pro- vided an entirely different educa- tiond system for white children. From 1905 to 1917 this proved to be slight improvement over the oth- CT systems but in 1881 8 much bet ter system was introduced to pro- vide for the natives in Alaska. Tn ,e4S the native school system was q anged from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to the Alaska Native Service.
 Foster also showed colored slides of the various sections of Alaska where the ANS school system is in practice and the hazardous condi- tions some of the teachers are giv- ing education to the native popula- tion in the Territory.
 It was an interesting and educa- tional talk and the information re- ceived from the pictures show how many of the educational forces are working.
 After the meeting and entertain rent program. refreshments were served in the Home Economies room.
 The following were appointed to act as the P-TA Scholarship Com mittee for the ensuing year: Edwin C. Clark. Superintendent of Schools; Henry Harmon, Principal of High School; Harry Sperling, Mrs. Glenn Oakes, Mrs. Charles Forward, Mrs. c. E. Gilman, and Mrs. Chris Wyller.
