Wrangell Loses Its
 Accredited High School

One of the unhappy aftermaths of the special election at which the school bond issue was overWhelm- ingly defeated is the announcement from Dr. Bolton that the Wrangell High School has been removed from the accredited list of the University of Washington, and thereby auto matically removed from aeeredita- tion of other universities and schools of higher education.
 h the issue Of the Sentinel the week previous to the election or the school bond issue the question was asked, Shall Wrangeu con- tinue to have an accredited high school?' It was pointed out that the defeat of the bond issue would be interpreted only in one way so far as the University Of Washing ton and other outside universities were concerned.
 After the election tue Sentinel ardently hoped something would prevent the school from dropping to a lower rating. But 1t seems to have been inevitable that a school with such inadequate equipment and disgraceful building facilities should be removed from the ac- credited list.
 The Sentinel is more convinced than ever that 1t is 8 short sighted policy which denies to the young people of WrangelI the privileges of an accredited high school-a privilege of very vital importance, and one which is valued and ac- eepted as a matter Of course by the citizens of Petersburg and oth- CT Alaskan towns.

SEASON FOR GILL METERS ON STIKINE RIVER WILL
 NOT BE EXTENDED

The Wrangell Commercial Club on Monday sent a cablegram to Hon. Henry 0'Malley, Commission CT of Fisheries, requesting that owing to the unusually backward spring the season for gill netters on the Stikine be extended till at least June 25th April 25th is the date gill netting has usually started on the Ssiikine in former years. but this year the season is so backward that the first gill netter did not make his appearance on the Stikine until May 16th.
 But despite these facts the appeal of the Nrangel Commercial Club failed to get results. The Gommis= sioner's reply was as follows.
 Not advisable to change regula= tions to meet seasonable fluetua= tions in runs which may be early one year and late the next. To be of the greatest benefit, both from standpoint of catch and eseapement regulations must meet average con ditions year after year

 The Poli circuit had been on the market for two years. The most famous of the chain had always been the New Haven theater, which grew out of the old Eden Musee and the l0-20- 30-Cent shows of the late 90's.

Madison, Wis, Oct. q lP-Giris should smoke cigarettes and wear short skirts. in defiance of conven- lion if the world is to strike a death blow at established sex institutions, Prof. William II. Sheldon of the psychology department of the Jni- versity of Wisconsin told members Of the psychology club.
 Prof. Sheldon declared it Is neces- sary for girls today to free them selves intellectually and commented that the flapper is the hope of the lace.
 Student suicides, Prof. Sheldon said, are the result of students i'm biding religious mythology and then being unable to adjust their lives to modern teachings.
 "The real cause of these suicides is that the person has been unable to adjust himself to a new scheme of things. People have been taught a lot of nonsense and mythology at churchr and then when the person comes in contact with modern teach ings he is unable to adjust himself.
 "The fault lies not with the science, but with the earlier train- ing of the person that failed to pre- pare him for the readjustment that was to come"

Hansen first declared he had spent the day at home, making wine in the cellar. coming upstairs at o'clock in the evening to find the two bodies.
 Another version he was said to have offered implicated an unidenti- fed sailor who he claimed called to see his foster daughter Wednesday night. Hansen said he went to sleep in an upstairs room after drinking with the sailor, ard discovered the bodies when he awoke.
 In third explanation Hansen said he was returning from a sp2akeasy when he saw sailors running from his house, and entered to find his wife and the girl slain. Police said Hansen gave no clue as to who was responsible for the deaths.
 The trouble" mentioned by Han sen when he reported the killings, was in reference to his arrest a year ago on a charge Of assault on the Macki girl. whose arm, police assert ed. he broke with a baseball bat.
