ATTITUDE OF CAPITAL TOWARD
 MINING MUST BE CHANGED

SEATTLE, April 9.-Harry H. Townsend, a Seattle mining engineer, addressing the Chamber of Commerce luncheon yesterday, said that the dis trustful attitude of the United States and Canada toward mining projects would be changed if the English sys- tenn of having competent mining engi- neers pass on the merits of prop erty before selling stock were adopted.
 Mr. Townsend saaid 'In England mining shares start at par and go to premium if the venture succeeds" ," He declared that different methods in this country was responsible for the decline in the interest in mining in Seattle, and since the Klondike days. He declared that great mining coun- try lies at Seattle's door and the many great mines developed in Alaska and British Columbia prove this, but in getting our industries before the pub lie we must carefully separate facts from hopes.

Six Legislators Refuse to h. dorse Appointment of
 George A. Parks

JUNEAU Alaska, April 9.-Defeat- ing an effort to replace it with sub- stitute which Representative Murray declared was a back-handed slap at President Coolidge. the House adopt ed the Sheldon resolution indorsing the appointment of George A. Parks for governor The vote was ten to six, Paul, Nylen, Elliott, Grant and Ross opposing it's passage. In a de- bate before it's passage Representative Paul declared that if there was a real Republican party in Alaska, such a resolution could not be passed, and that the measure was framed to split the Republican organization, to which Sheldon retorted that the main body of the Republican organization was all right but was already split by 'the leeches" which had attached them selves to the organization.
 Ross introduced compulsory Ter ritorial industrial bill virtually iden- tical with similar measure which was defeated in 1923.
 Aldrich introduced a bill for con- trOller of the territory, seeking to strip the governors office of all the au- thority it has within the power of the legislature, and follows in the main the same measure which was introduced by him two years ago and defeated in the Senate.
 The Senate committee on Education reported without recommendation Senator Dimond's resolution refuting Former Attorney General Stones statement that Alaska is a bad spot" with no respect for law enforcement.
 A bill seeking to prohibit the em- ployment of highway engineer, a position now held by Bob Summers, was also reported without recommen- dation
 The local Parent-Teacher's Associa- tion presented resolution urging the passage of the Grier literacy bill and wired similar organizations in the Territory requesting like action. Prospects of the passage of the bill is indicated as precarious unless it is radically amended.

1 From the beginning the people elected their representatives or mag istrates to general assembly which took care of the affairs of the people so far as was permitted by the constitution.
 The people delegated the sub ject of education Of the children to the care and consideration Of the general assembly. The education of children vas regarded as a duty resting upon the state, govern mental duty. That duty was per formed through the insif |mcntality of school districts, towns and so- cieties, as the assembly might sec ht These instrumentalities were and are only agents Of the state. To- day the members of the school committee are considered officials Of the state in the administration of the laws, even though they be elect ed by the several school districts still existing in the state or in the consolidated school district.
 This method was adopted be- cause 1t was more effective and economical for the state.
 New Britain was set off by the general assembly from the town ot Berlin in 1850. There had been ex- isting six several school districts which continued and existed until the state passed an act enabling the school districts existing in towns tc consolidate.
 Tn October, 1873, the people ot the town of New Britain voted ir favor Of consolidation. The statute providing for this consolidation Is a' follows: Any town may abolish all the school districts and parts oi school districts, within its limits and assume and maintain control oi the public schools therein, subject tc the requirements and restrictions imposed by the general assembly, ant for this purpose every suct town shall constitute one school dis, trict, having all the powers and duties Of n school district, with tho exceptions hereinafter stated
