Petrich, adjutant of the Juneau post, has rather set the members on their ears as they are uncertain whether 13S delegates from Juneau to the Fairbanks De- partmental convention, will arrive in Seward on the steamer Alaska next Saturday or whether it is a secret code sign.
 Anyway, the fact remains he re- ceived telegram this morning to the effect Filler Hansen, Territorial Commander of the American Legion, will be a passenger on the steamer Alaska, en route to Fairbanks. E.. A. Fucker, prominent young local at torney will represent the Seward post at the convention which will be held on June 24, 25, an d26.

NO REPUTATION
 ARM NECESSARY

J. P. Hannon, brother-in-law of Miss Elizabeth Romig, who was seriously injured in an airplane crash at Fair banks, June s, received word by last mail that Miss Elizabeth is recover ing slowly, and that it is believed her arm, which was badly shattered, will not be amputated, as was at first feared. An operation upon the injur- ed member will be made this week and it is believed it will heal as good as ever.
 The arm was broken in three places the letter read, and everyone of her teeth was shaken loose by the fall The letter makes clear how Miss Ro- mig was so seriously injured, while the pilot, James s. Rodebaugh, suf fered but little other than general con- cussion. The pilot controls were in the rear sea, with passengers riding in the forward seat, and as the ma chine crashed on it's nose at about a 45-degree angle, anyone can assume that the passenger in front would bear the brunt of the shock
 1 MT. Hannon received a photograph of the wrecked plane in the position in which the ship struck the ground The machine was badly damaged and the fact that neither were killed out right is believed to be owing to the short height from which the plane fell. The strong straps which are placed about persons riding in the planes are given as another reason why the twain escaped death, as the broad leather bands broke the fall and prevented the occupants being hurled out of the plane to the ground. It is stated that Rodebaugh attempted landing once, but being too far from the hanger, took to the air again, and was coming down when the machine went into tail-slip and then nose dived to the earth.

EDUCATION

ME other day a group Of the country's
i biggest business men got together.
They fell to talking about boys-young
men who come asking for Jobs.
What they said WAS not very flatter-
ing. Tho our colleges and universities are
pouring out ever increasing streams of
graduates, they agreed, business houses
are finding it harder and harder 10 get
the kind of youngsters they want TO fill
Jobs.
Why? It's quite simple they said. The
boys all want to start at the top, Few
seem willing to begin mt the bottom and
work up-aS necessary today despite uni
verSal education, ms ii ever was. They
concluded that there is something the
matter either with the modern boy or our
system of education.
While mulling this over in n depressed
sort of way our eye fell tspon a headline
in the paper lying on our knee;
BOYS, BROKE, WALK TO MILES
TO ATTEND COLLEGE"
That headline. it seemed to us, answered
he whole question. In the old days boys,
rs n rule, had to dig for their education.
Like the young men mentioned above
the boys walked from the Florida state
line to Birmingham doing odd jobs on the
way to earn their food. and who are now
working their way thru Howard college
they wanted an education so badly they
were willing to fight for it,
Today the ambition is mostly on the
parents side. They want their son to be
educated" SO they "send" him off,
whether or no. Too many fathers today
are working their sons way thru college
and not enough sons are working their
own way.
Isn't this the answer to the business
mems lament?

DOWN ON THE FARM!

CRASH goes another Illusion.
- Long has the farm been sung as
the birthplace of great men, but now
come the National Education association
and the u. s. Bureau Of Education with
facts and figures 10 show that the lantern
on the pillow throws not nearly so long
beam MS once imagined.
The first organization has made
study of the origins of great men from
1870 TO the present day. On this basis il
estimates that out Of every 100000
farm boys only 223 stand much chance Of
landing in Who's Who. Out of 100000
city boys, however 1850 may become
famous.
or the 2I,27S men and women in the
last issue of Who's Who only 6,2SS were
born on farms, while 1890 were born in
cities, towns or villages. The association
points out in research bulletin that most
of the 2i,27S famous folks were bor, ut n
time when 20 per cent of the nations
population lived on farms,
Reason for this difference in oppor-
tunity. according to the u. S. bureau, lies
in great discrepancy between country
and town school facilities. The bureau
has compiled statistics received from 500
county school superintendent. These
show that during the past year an aver
age of S6s.39 was spent on each rural
school pupil and an average of Sl006f
on each city school pupil.
City schools during the year were kept
open from one to two months longer than
rural schools and city teachers were paid
40 per cent larger salaries than rural
teachers.
