They vary in ize from one-teacher schools with 12 or 13 pupils: to Point Barrow where seven teachers are employed inder Wilson.

As a beginning teacher, you won't draw one of the really isolated anyway. The more experi- enced teachers, some of them na- tives who once were pupils them- reason is they are accustomed to Arctic weather, and they also know the language, a tricky thing. The standard qualifications are four years of college, an AB de- gree with a major in education cr 18 hours in educational methods, and one-year teaching experience. There are sub-standard qualifica- tions, too; three years training and one-year experience. Youll need to know first aid, because you may be the only source of medical aid for your little community.

Youll be expecteq to teach for 180 days. The rest of the time youwll do first aid, welfare work and make weather reports. There will be time to hunt and tish and you might even bag a polar bear. One teacher did, but the Service won't guarantee it. As a matter| of fact, the Service doesn't recom- | mend such hunting. It is qulte a task obtainmg the | required num:er of teachers. Dale and the Native Service, contend that every child has the right to an education, but it takes some doing, scme times. Flossie George Connery, a col- lege-trained Eskimo teacher, start- ed the first school near Anaktuvuk Pass in the summer 3f 1948. Shej pitched her small tent, laid planks on rocks for desks, and for sl weeks taught her pupils. Scme were black-haired, dark- eycd youngsters. Some were moth- | ers, with babies on their backs. “ome were fathers. All were eager to learn. They wanted to know how to write, to learn to read a bit ind at the same time the teacher! told them of their responsibilities as American citizens. That's what the Alaska Native ervice is driving at. i i FROM DALTON, MINN.
