Educational Supervisor Recommends More Teachers For Nome
Lois Morey, who is with the Territorial Department of Education as educational supervisor, has just completed her survey of the new territorial school at Kobuk, where teacher Robert Simonds has started school with nine students and more expected when the natives hear that the school has opened.
She reported that many of the territorial schools had taken advantage of the National Lunch Program and made the proper application to Juneau for the funds allotted for this purpose.
Miss Morey, who is leaving today for Unalakleet, hopes to visit Haycock before joining the North Star. She stated that more teachers are needed in the Nome School and that a full staff would be 19 teachers. Fifteen are now employed with much overcrowding in the lower grades and one more is most badly needed for the first grade which would make a total of three teachers for the beginners.
