HOSPITAL Mrs. Dora C. Rusch has arrived here from the South to enter her new position as teacher in the Gov- ernment Hospital. | Children in the Tubercular Annex | of the hospital whom the doctors | consider sufficiently well to devote some time each day to study will| be under the tutelage of Mrs. Rusch who has had, in addition to the| usual teacher’s training, special work | in music, art, and clothing design. Much of the training will be done | on an individual tutoring basis but | there is a limited number who can | convene in small groups. There are | approximately 35 children, as well as some adults, who will be assisted | by Mrs. Rusch. | This type of work has been suc- | cessfully carried on at Bethel where | | one room of the hospital there has | been set aside as a school room. Not | only does it enable the children, | upon recovery, to take their place in the public school beside others of | their own age, but it takes their| mind off of their illness for many | hours of the day. Such work at the Government Hospital in Juneau was previously { handled as a part-time basis by Ju-| |neau and Douglas Government | | School teachers, but the number of | children needing such aid has jus- tified the employment of a regular | teacher. i Mrs. Rusch has had several years experience in this field and, before coming to Alaska, was employed in ‘1 Montana. | —— - | WARNER IN TOWN | Edward Warner ,of Fairbanks, is | in town and has registered at the Baranof, e — A navy of 15 battleships, 50 cruis- | | ers, 130 destroyers and eight aircraft carriers could be bought with the money saved by clothes rationing in Britain in two years.
