PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Nov. 8 -lR-The Czechoslovak government today released Samuel Meryn, clerk of the US. Embassy, from jail. A Prague broadcast said he was told to get out of this country.
 The Embassy clerk had been held more than two weeks on charges that he had been spying against against the dominated government.

MEMBERS GIVE FINE PROGRAM
 FOR ROTARY CLUB

Rotar.ans meeting for luncheon today in the Baranof Gold Room proved again that a member-pro- gram can be second to none. Had it been broadcast, it would have stood up well in competition with any forum-type program on the air.
 Scarcely had Rotarians sat down before Harold Foss, Program Chair man, announced the plan. In ob- servance of American Education Week. the six men at each table would choose a conversation topic on some aspect or problem Of education, then select a spokesman to summarize their discussion.
 As the speakers later complied, it was noted that there were as many approaches to the subject as there were tables.
 DR. RYAN SPEAKS
 To lead off, pr. James c. Ryan, Territorial Commissioner Of Edu- cation. gave a trief talk on the purpose of Education Week, re- lating the national picture to that of Alaska. He pointed out that one out of four persons in the nation attend some kind of school at the moment-in other words, between 35 and 40 million students.
 Thus" he commented, "educa- ton is not merely family, city or state problem, but national one" <"
 He emphasized that conditions even in distant schools are related to Alaska, as future business and other leaders will come from many of them.
 As to education in Alaska, where the Territorial Legislature has the chief responsibility, pr. Ryan sad that 13O00 children now attend public schools in elementary and secondary institutions, and 5000 Ill ANS, private and parochial schools and the University of Alaska.
 Salvation Army Major Eric Newbould spoke for the first luncheon group, saying their talk had been of the importance of vo- cational training as put to use through mental development.
 BUILDING SITE NEEDED
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson spoke next, reporting that his table was concerned with physical needs foI the Juneau school system, and that they had once more gone over the problem of a desirable site for a new building, preferably in 3 center of population.
 For his table, Attorney HoWafe D. Stabler pointed out the neee for educating parents to teacf children to help themselves, ant for teachers to give their student. values to counteract Hove ant murder" movies and the influenc' of certain so-called comic books.
