Physical Examinations Among the large number of ac- tions during the last week of its meeting the Board directed an amendment to Section 10SLA 1949 be prepared to require a physical examination of each school child at least once each year and to au- thorize the expenditure from Terri- torial funds for not to exceed $100. Proposed changes were accepted for presentation to the Legislature, designed to simplify and clarify the method of making refunds for both the Territorial Office of Edu- cation and local school boards. Ac- | tion was also approved on a pro- posal which would empower ‘the Territorial Board of Education to discontinue the maintenance and operation of any rural school when in the discretion and judgment of the Board the school was large enough and the community able to { partially support its own school un- der the refund system. After discussion as to what would happen if a municipality of the first or second class were organized within the boundaries of an Incor- each examination i } porated School District, it was the unanimous opinion that such a district should immed- iately and automatically become an Independent School District and the Board recommended that a suit- able bill for such provision be pre- pared and presented to the Legis- lature. The probability of two or more munlcipa]mes being organized within the boundaries of an Inde- pendent School District was directed to be called to the attention of the Committees of Education in the House and the Senate and that recommendations be made that the school laws be amended to elimi- nate any confusion should such a situation arise.

Miss Winn told the Board that the book, which has required about 17 months of in- tensive work, would be completed about June 1 of this year. The il- lustrators will include about»30 full- page cuts and 20 smaller ones, she said. It is estimated that the total cost of the project will approximate $15,000, most of which can be recov- ered it was said, by sale of the book. Miss Merian Cass, formerly of Jun- eau and now of New York City, is illustrating the book. Miss Winn has had an informal agreement with the Commissioner of Education that if the manuscript when completed was satisfactory to the Board and the Territorial Text- book Commission, recommendation would be made to pay the author and illustrator for the work and to have the book published. Increase Boards Recommendations on legislation pertaining to territorial schools passed by the Board included a bill providing for five year terms for school board members in Incor- porated School Districts, in place of the present two year term; a bill which provides for five mem- ber boards in municipal school dis- trict.
