Ry Territorial Com- missicner of Education who return- ed here last night from a quick trip to Fairbanks and Anchorage. He that a controversy exists be- tween city residents and those liv- ing outside the city limits as to how the problem should be solved. An election held last month for the annexation of the North Fair- kanks district resulted in defeat ior those favoring outright annexation of outlying districts into the city limits. It also brought forth a de- claration from the Fairbanks School Board that no students, from out- side the city limits, will be permit- ted to astemd the city's public scheols next g Suburban rrotes: This action immediacely brought out protests from the suburban residents who have no other edu- cational facilities available for children of school age. Ryan went to Fairbanks in an attempt to straighten out the matter ahd to explain the Territory’s position in such a situation. He stated that his oftice has no available funds for the construction of a new school building or for the remodeling or alteration of an old building which could be adapted for that purpoee. He told the Fairbanks citizens that they have 90 days in which to reach a decision and to take action to provide schooling for their child- ren. He said he cannot make the decision for them. “It is up to you,” Dr. Ryan declared. A large number of the residents of both the North and South Ft banks areas wish to form an inde- pendent school district and are willing to pay taxes for its support. They do not desire, however, to be annexed into the city proper for the purpose of being taxed on all city functions. The city officials meanwhile, have taken the stand that the outsiders must be brought into the city limits for all purposes and that, if this is not done, no school facilities will be provided tor the children from the suburbs Ryan also reported that the re- cently formed Anchorage independ- ent school district is making rapid progress toward the completion of its plans for the coming school year. He said that it is*constructing a 16 room temporary school build- ing which it has financed without the necessity of bonding the dis- triet - oo - SURVEY REPORT BY RUTH BRONSON 10 BE GIVEN CCNGRESS Mrs. Ruth Bronson, Secretary of of American Indians, was preparing to leave Ju- neau today following a three week visit to various SE Alaska com- "munities conferring with heads of The T'r Clea HURRY!
