McCutcheon told members of he Parent-Teachers Association last hight. Texes will have to come out of | cur own pockets, McCutcheon said. But he added, it is more terrifying to contemplate a whole generation of children growing through school age with little or no schooling. This is what is happening in many parts of Alaska, the Speaker »f the 19th Legislative session told he ge audience of parents and chers who filled the high school tudy hall for the monthly meeting f the P-TA. “Out of repair, with a half of these in nesed of major repair,” McCutchecn said. “Great volumes of mail has pou ed into the legislature with re- uests for @ tance in repairing chools, which in many casesare | no more than hovels,” he said. “Of { Territerial school age children, some | 2,000 have no school facilities avail- \ble, according to Department of Education figures,” he added. Previous legislatures have failed do anything about the school the speaker said. Now | faced with a decision . . . | whether to, or not | school facilities for its children. | to si 2 | The sp of the House also urged the Territory to take the lead in offering a pay scale to teachers that “will bring and keep them here.” The representative was introduc- |ed by P-TA President Herman R.

PENSION BILL 1S APPROVED BY SENATORS 1om Puge One) | (Continued the measure was necessary and it | was voted down 6-10 Senator Rivers said that he would like to see a group of skill- ed tradesmen in the Territory, but | “this bill will not create them; it merely sets up a salesman to sell the idea of apprenticeships.” The biggest handicap to a work- able apprenticeship program in the Territory, Rivers claimed, is highly- i pald seasonal work which “causes a | breakdown of the program every | spring.” No Appropriation Senator Butrovich objected to the bill because it carried no appro- | priaticn for the job it undertook to do. “The lack of an appropriation | was probably deliberate,” he charg- jed. “It would mean that we would art off with a little Board and en we come back two years from now we'll find ourselves with ‘another $200,000 agency con our hands.” Senator Anderson, on the other hand, said that he is not interested | in spending a lot of money but he felt the program might help young men to learn trades. “It looks I will be the only one to vote for this bill,” he said. | | Voting with him in support of the | bill were Senators Garnick, Huntley, MacKenzie, McCutcheon and Pera- trovich. There was no session of the Sen- ate today, and it wiil reconvene at 110 o'clock tomorrow morning. - Mother, Baby Are Doing Fine But Man Goes Bump CAMBRIDGE, O., Feb. 22.—®— Mothcr and son are doing nicely, thank you—but the father, well, only fair.
