O EDUCATION BILL TURNED DOWN BY COMMITTEE Public Hearing on Proposal Brings Out Arguments For and Against (Continued from Page One) that all school affairs are handled | through the central office. The Commissioner, reading from his records for the committee, showed where, he said, exhorbitant charges had been made under the old school board system for fuel, repairs to school transportation costs. Claims Unfalr Bert W. Harris, speaking against the bill, unfair and is not representative of the will of the people. He said that he had taught school in one community where drastic reduc- tions had been made in supplies and that he, as teacher, and resi- dents of the community had to pool_funds to buy s¢hgol supplies themselves because the Commis- sioner’s office would not supply them, He further asserted that due to great distances and delays in transportation many schools were often crippled while waiting for some necessary .action from the Commissioner’s office. Speaks For Women Mrs. R. R. Herrmann was an- other appearing against the bill on behalf of women’s clubs, stress- ing that many complaints had been received by the women's group for the most part based on the inadequacy of the present system and favoring the re-establishment of local boards. Urging the Legislators not to throw out the law before it had| a fair trial, was Allen Shattuck, former House member. Mr. Shat- tuck related that prior to the creation of the act Alaska's school system had been antiguated and| that the new law was a step for- ward. He suggested that corrections in the existing law be made by amendment if necessary, but plead- buildings and! charged the system is| schools to an admittedly inferior condition. Growden Author Representative Willlam N. Grow- den of Ruby, author of the House education bill, which provides for Tepealing the '33 law, attacked the Jaw 6n groinds it was not working out in the smaller communities and that complaints were numer- | ous. One amusing incident was. in- | Jected into the meeting by Com- | missioner Karnes. He reported. his | office recelved complaints of & still being : operated in a school ‘basement. Inquiry was made and |later communication was received 39xp1§{ the still hadbeen moved P i ond floor( AMER, LEGION | | In honor of two visiting Legion- | naires, Ralph Bartholomew. and ‘clyde Ellis, the members of the |Juneau American Legion, Alford John Bradford Post No: 4, will give |a mixer tonight, starting at 8 o'dlock in the Dugout. .There will be songs, stunts and refreshments.
