in the Student Center. 最受欢迎的选择是TRITONS,来自澳门银银河在线登录自己的学院

Excerpts from: Recollections of Older Days, MARC, 1992 博士. Jose Palomo, Director, Department of Education
我一到关岛,我的第一个正式行为就是向它的第一个人表示敬意
civilian governor, Mr. Carlton Skinner. He welcomed me cordially and offered full
cooperation in my work as the Director of Education. My next stop was at the office
of the Superintendent of 学校, Mr. Simon 桑切斯, a veteran in his profession and
他是当时教育部中职位最高的瓜曼人. 最后一个
我在我的办公室里停了下来. 桑切斯
有他的办公室.
关岛政府公司安排了一辆吉普车供我公务使用,是个不错的选择 在通往Hagåtña南部城镇的崎岖道路上旅行. Mr. 桑切斯 几乎总是陪着我在岛上巡视. 我学会了 当澳门银银河在线登录的吉普车从一个坑洞里冲出来时,他说了很多学校的问题 road to the next. 就这样,我了解了学校系统的需要 岛上. 学习过程花了1950年剩下的几个月.
Two major administrative problems faced me. One was the presence of over one hundred 他们是同时从几个州带到这个岛上的合同制教师 他们在自己所在的学区所获得的工资以及他们的服役年限 were for only two 一年s. 他们的出现受到了海军和空军人员的欢迎 因为他们希望自己的孩子能够在教育上适应任何学校 有一天他们的父母可能会被转移到那里. The Department of 教育还得支付他们往返的交通费.
The other, and correlated, problem was finances. When I consulted 岛上’s Treasurer 关于1951年的预算提案,他告诉我公立学校将会消耗 almost half of 岛上’s anticipated revenues. Early in 1951, as I became better 了解了教育部及其存在的问题后,一种想法开始酝酿 在我心中如何保持目前的教育水平,但在一个更合理的 成本. 为什么不在当地培训年轻的关岛人,使他们能够达到教学标准 平等的 to those in mainland schools? I kept churning the idea in my head for a few 几天后,他决定和斯金纳州长讨论一下前景.
1951年9月,我乘坐泛美航空公司的飞机前往旧金山. My
目的是拜访加州大学拓展课程主任
在伯克利,. My brother Ben was at the airport to welcome me. 澳门银银河在线登录开车去他家 home
在旧金山以南35英里的洛斯阿尔托斯. He and his wife insisted
that I stay with him, a courtesy I greatly appreciated.
Ben let me drive his car the next day to Berkeley. The Director of Extension Courses
他礼貌地告诉我,他的组织在韩国的业务与此有关
朝鲜战争后澳门银银河在线登录驻扎在那里的军队. I was disappointed;
我指望伯克利的合作,因为澳门银银河在线登录位于太平洋.
我的下一站是纽约市,在那里我拜访了推广服务部主任
at New York University. He said that they also were fully occupied in educational
他们在波多黎各的雷米空军基地工作,但他们的合同将在另一个基地到期
一年. 他说,他的组织将考虑届时前往关岛. 我告诉
他告诉我,如果我找不到其他大学,我会联系他
早.
我的最后一站,也是最后的希望,是俄亥俄州哥伦布市的俄亥俄州立大学. 我去
直接去了教育学院院长办公室,尽管我真的去了
not previously made an appointment. When I arrived at the Dean’s office, his secretary
asked me about my mission. 我告诉 her that I was the Director of the Department of
Education on Guam and that I would like to see the Dean. I was immediately ushered
into the private quarters of Dr. 唐纳德·P. 科特雷尔.
我告诉医生. 科特雷尔说我计划在关岛开办一所教师培训学校, 最近成为美国的非合并领土. 我给 him the reasons for undertaking such a project. His face lit up as he said, “You have come to the right place at the right time.” The Dean told me that the Chairman 学校行政部门的主任刚刚退休,达到了强制要求 退休年龄为70岁,很可能是该职位的候选人. 他的秘书 给了我教授现在的地址和电话号码. The Dean laughingly 他告诉我,他所有的同事都叫他“嗨”刘易斯.
有了院长给我的信息,我毫不费力地联系上了 him in his central Florida retreat. Hi was very enthusiastic about the project. 在简短地介绍了关岛师范学院的必要性之后,Hi Lewis的最后一个 words were, “When do I start?” I assured him that he would the key man in organizing 关岛的一所师范学院,我会建议他什么时候来 island to start the great adventure.
我在哥伦布又花了一天时间和科特雷尔院长商讨一份书面的 协议,以确保澳门银银河在线登录共同事业的连续性. He said that he would 起草一份俄亥俄州立大学和政府之间的谅解文件 关岛. 有了这样的保证,我觉得我已经完成了我的使命. 我叫 告别了院长,然后动身去旧金山的飞机上,高兴地看到我的努力 were starting to bear fruit.
又一次,我忠实的哥哥本在机场等我. 澳门银银河在线登录开车去他家
吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐后,我感到很满意,因为我的任务成功了.
