WrangeD School Board Takes
 a Stand

The local school board has made public the following statement during the week, copies having been sent to the officials of the Bureau of Education, and the Ter ritorial Commissioner of Educa- ton.
 The Wrangell School Board is unanimous in its disapproval of the plan of the U. s. Bureau of Education to close the Govern ment school at the end of the present school year as announced by District Superintendent of U. s. Schools, C. W. Hawkesworth. It will adhere to its policy, adop- ted in October, 1920, of refusing to admit children who are Indians, or by law classed as Indians, ex- cept those who can pass proper examination into the sixth grade, or higher, and will comply with the required standards of health and sanitation. At least 30 Ma tive children from six to Is years of age will be left without any provision for an education, unless they go away to school, if the Government school is closed, and the Wrangell School Board re- spectfully requests the U. s. Bu- reau of Education to reconsider the decision to close the school at Wrangell. The Natives of Wran- gell are no better qualified to en- ter the public schools than are the Natives of other towns and cities of Alaska.

4HC IOQt LII iioiiiSiPeai SohSSA of the series given for the school was held at the gymnasium Thurs day evening. The program con- sisted of several fine instrument tai and vocal numbers by Mrs. Towers, selections by the school chorus and quartette, and read ings. The first number given by the school chorus was An chored" which was followed by the Soldiers Chorus" both be- ing excellent. Several changes were made in the program, by which the last half consisted mainly of patriotic numbers. Mrs. Towers read a short article on the lives of Washington and Lincoln whose birthdays occur this month. Two flags had been arranged upon the stage, one of these, on a standard, being the one presented by the late Far quhar Matheson, then Mayor of Wrangell, to the boys who went from here to Fort Seward. It was taken to the various camps, brought back here by one of the boys, and is now the valued pos session of the American Legion. Miss Catherine Matheson, pupil of Miss Rees, who made her debut as a reader, addressed this flag in her selection. ''Old Glory" !" which was received with sincere and we'll deserved applause. An electric fan so arranged as to keep the flag futtering added much to the effect. Julius Mason acted as electrician. The most popular number on the program was For saken," sung by the high school quartette, consisting of C. A. Carlson, George and Fred Gun- derson, Harold Shangle, Ralph Prescott, Marion Myers, Neil Grant and John Coulter, assisted by R. G. Harris. It was followed by Who Built the Ark" which was repeated in part because of the hearty applause. The boys had worked hard and the training they had received was appreci- ated by those who heard them. Miss Rees contributed three ex- cellent Negro dialect numbers. with accompaniments by Mrs. Towers and Thor Hofstad, the Army and Navy Calls were given on the victrola and the closing number was Flag of Freedom, !" by the school chorus. The ac- companists were Miss Ann O'Con- nor, Mrs. Towers and Thor Hof- stad. The attendance was very pOOd.

 "Hawkesworth is closing Ma tive School at Wrangell and has announced that it is the inten- ton of the Bureau of Education to close all Native schools as soon as possible. The Juneau Parent Teachers Association hereby pro- tests against attempts to force the Natives into the white schools for the reason that such action is not to the best interests of the schools and for the further reason that such action would place a heavy .financial burden on the Territory which is already spend- ing seventy thousand dollars an- nually for the education of Ma tives and breeds.

GOLF SIMPLIFIED,
BY DAVE HUNTER.
doubleday, Page 4 Col

The secret of golf. according to
this little book, is the pronation. or
proper bending of arm and wrist in
the swing. 1t sounds simple and is
described carefully with the assist
ance of pictures. The book is es-
pecially for beginners and discusses
the grip, stance and swing for the
various clubs in detail. Its chief
value lies in the fact that it omits
a host of bewildering possibilities
that golf books usually go into and
concentrates on the essentials. OF
course, there will be people to criti-
cize it bcause everyone who has ever
swung club has his own pet theory
as to method and the reasons for
his personal idiosyncrasies. But
since we happen to believe in the
overlapping grip and do not follow
through with our putter, we are
sure that Hunters method is the
right one. And for a beginner this
is certainly a very comprehensive,
usuable booE. Some one has told US
that study of this book has reduced
his score by five. A mere five, we
regret to say. would make no reduc-
tion in our score. What we are look
ing for is book that will show US
how to save-say twenty-five. But
until that is written we are devot-
ing time and thought to Dave Hun
ter's book.
