EDUCATION COM. FINDS SCHOOLS CROWDING OVER : Heavy Enrollment In-| crease in All Sections of Territory Returned from an inspection trip to Territorial Schools in Western and Interior Alaska, Commissioner of Education Jamos Ryan today re- ported vastly increased enrollments are taxing Territorial Schools to the utmost limits at many points. Increases in student rolls from 10 percent to as much as 300 percent have occurred this year, he said. Dr. | Ryan attributes the increases to two main causes: 1—Influx of new people n many areas, particularly the larger com- | munities. 2—Transfer of pupils from Alaska Native Service to Territorial Schools. | Going from here to Seward by steamer, Dr. Ryan travelled by bus to the Interior, stopping off at Gul-’ kana where a new school was opened this year. Ten pupils were antici~ pated at Gulkama, he reported. Al- ready 23 ar> enrolled there and| quarters are far too crowded. Going to the Seward Peninsula, Dr. found Nome school enrollment in- creased from a normal 110 pupils to 185, mainly due to transfer of pupils | from native schools. He found overcrowding at Teller very serious, but it is hoped that a way can be seen to get through th: schocl year there with the present facilities. At Haycock, Dr. Ryan opened a new school, with 19 stu- dents enrolled. Kotzebue, h2 found, is united in | its desire for a Territorial School Back at Fairbanks, he conferred | with Dr. Dorothy Holversen, Edu- | cation Supervisor, who had visited schools in the Bristol Bay area and along the upper Yukon. She reported similar conditions. | Adding to the difficulties, Dr. Ryan said is the fact that there has been an excessive turnover of teachers and many new teachers and administrators are unfamiliar | with the problems confronting them. Schoolroom space at Fairbanks, {too, is over-strained this year, the | Commissioner declared and Fair- banks faces a difficult problem next year, with 110 pre-school children in cne small district alone, who will be | school-age in 1946. | Returning to Anchorage over the {Alaska Railroad, Dr. Ryan and Dr. Holversen visited schools enroute, most of which were found to be get- ting along all right. Anchorage, however, has its schools greaatly overcrowded. Thirteen hun- dred children are in school there and even the uncompleted new building there. will not care for all of them adequately. Palmer and Wasilla, too, are taxed. While Dr, Ryan hurried back here to prepare an ostimate of Alaska school requirements, requested by Gov. Ernest Gruening for presen- tation to Congress, Dr. Holversen has remained to the Westward and will visit schools around Kodiak and Prince Willilam Sound. Dr. Ryan will return to Anchor- age next month to attend an ad- ministrators meeting there, following which he and. Dr. Holversen will come back to Juneau. e — SUSPENDED SENTENCE I. G. Fulton, pleading guilty to 1 federal charge of disorderly con- duct, has received a suspended jail sentence of 60 days from U. S. Commissioner Felix Gray.
