Particularly and surprisingly, he said, Alaska is lagging in the scale of salaries to teachers. Same Problems The main problems that confront Alaska in the development of its educational program are the same over the nation, Dr. Ryan said. Number one problem is lack of adequate school buildings and the second chief problem is a scarcity of teachers. In Washington Dr, Ryan said he found that while the interested de- partments and agencles gave lip service to the value of developing the program of education through- out the United States and recogniz- ed the needs no definite action had been taken. “It seems that action to provide for the needs to develop and main- tain our high standard of education can always be put off until tomor- Maria Bertha Hertogh, 13-year-old Dutch bride of a Moslem school teacher, weeps in a Singapore court (Dec. 2), as she is turned over to Sister Maria of the Catholic convent after court invalidated her mar- riage and ordered her returned to her Dutch Catholic mother.

Dr.. Ryan was enthusiastic in emphasizing the worth of the White House Child Conference and said it was a marvelous experience to him to be one of the 5,000 dele- gates attending and participating in its program, The conference, he said, is mak- ing a study of the development of children from infancy until they reach the ‘feriod ‘of ‘adutthood. Guiding Principles Qne fact clearly defined, he said, | was that parents and teachers must realize that the child cannot be guided step by step through his early life, nor should such a method | be used, rather he should be given | only guiding principles to which he can cling in times of stress and | which he must work out for him-| self. After.a thorough study, Dr. Ryan said, it was the consensus of op-| inion at the Conference that the hour of music. Christmas carols were sung by a mixed chorus and a girls' chorus of Juneau High School students under the direction of Miss Marjorie Iverson, and three numbers were played by a trio con- sisting of Carol Davis, piano; Cor- rine Jenne Kenway, violin and Pat- ricia Davis Bidwell, cello. Picture Award The roll call of parents present gave the picture, prize for the at- tendance record, to Miss Ethel Murphy’s second grade room. This room also won the record for the last meeting, While it was understandable that coming in the week before Christ- mas the attendance might not be a record breaker, still it was point- ed out by the P-T.A. officers that the 45 members attending last night’s meeting was not nearly so large as had been expected and should attend. It is urged that hereafter members make an effort to be present at the meetings which occur only once each month.
