FIGHT HEARD HERE

Many Bismarck fight fans anX-
ious to follow the efforts Of Billy
Petrollc, the Fargo Express" to
fight his way to a battle with
Sammy Mandell, lightweight
champion, heard the Petrolle-
Meyers fight over radio last night.
The lO-round bout, as we'll as all
others on the same card, was
broadcast, blow by blow, direct
from the ringside by one OF the
Chicago radio stations. The re-
ports came in distinctly, and the
referees whistle, the gong, the
band music and the yells of the
huge crowd could be plainly
heard as we'll.

delivered by His Excellency the
Governor = of the Virgin Islands,
during the closing exercises Of
Saint Croix Junior High Schools,
at the Christiansted Theatre,
Wednesday Evening, June %, 1927.

lam very glad Of this opportunity to
appear before you this evening and
meet the boys and girls of this island who
have successfully fulfilled the require
ments of our Junior High Schools, |
can realize it was pot an easy road to
travel when | consider the hundreds of
pupils who started ana the small num-
Der that have gone this far. | have
been told by the Director of Education
that the pnpil who receives a diploma
this year will have little difficulty in do
ing the work of any tenth grade in the
United States. We should feel proud
that this can be said when we consider
how small this island is compared with
the United States; how far removed WI
are from the great centres of population;
and the short time that education has
been carried on under the American
plan. This statement indicates that
the standard of our schools is high.
This is a good sign for, as you pro-
badly know. our American Colleges
and Universities are making it increase
ingly difficult for prospective students TO
enter. And the reason for this is the
recognition that things accomplished
with difficulty have value : things east
ly accomplished have less value
After looking through your schools |
must say that in general the pupils here
are very we'll taken care of. Some i'm
provements are needed, of course, es
pecially in the country schools. Build
ings have to be maintained. Books
have to be purchased and teachers paid,
On the whole think we are doing very
we'll with our limited resources. You
may be surprised to learn that there are
hundreds of communities in the United
States in far more needy circumstances
than St. Croix.
But the general tendency in the Unit
ted States is for more and better schools.
One chief reason for this is that the
American people believe that IN The
long run education pays not only Tor
the pupils themselves but for the COM
munity and nation as well. ln tact,
what we wan to accomplish by educat-
ing the people is to develop better
citizens. The citizens are the backbone
of any community and the better the
c~itizers, the better the community. We
want the coming generation to have a
keener sense of their duties to the COM
munity, which in this case is ST. Cork
and the Virgin Islands, ard the nation,
which is the United States. We want to
develop a strong sense of true public
spirit such as induces men and women IN

want to add to the remarks made by the
End Appointed Member that the Clerk
in the Police Office, Frederiksted also
receives in addition to his other duties
all the reports made by the different
officers mentioned by Ghe 1st Member
for Christiansted Town.
End Member for Cbristiansted Country
District JdckS0n) remarked: Mr.. Chair
man. In view of the Municipal Commit
tees amendment | do not know what
will be the fate of my amendment. What
this amendment purports to do is to give
the Clerk in the Frederiksted Police
Office an increase in salary. He is a
married man and we want to fully re-
compense him for his services. (The
speaker read his amendment and said:
When the increase is made we have to
find somewhere to get the money to bal
ance the budget. | know | am treading
on dan erous ground when | propose to
take that amount from the Maintenance
Of the Hospital, nevertheless the young
man is deserving of the increase.
1st Member for Christiansted Town
(CGnegdtd) remarked: Mr.. Chairman,
this matter was discussed in the NUM-
cIpal Committee and my feeling on it is
the same as the Despatching Secretary's S.
This Clerk is not the only one who is
deserving an increase in salary. There
are others in Government service who
are even more deserving of an increase
in salary. Take for instance, the De-
partment of Education, there are teach
ers who have to 60 out in the country to
teach, | know of one who has to find his
way out into the country every day and
he receives no more than SIS per month.
Some of the teachers are receiving less
pay than the ~janitors of tbs School De-
partment. That's a situation which |
think needs urgent remedy. Ii you go
in the Public Works Department you will
find a Clerk there who is also deserving
of an increase. can go all through the
budget and point out several instances
that need adjustment. If you pick one
man out of 300 employees and increase
his salary you are going to create far
more dissatisfaction than already eX-
lists.

Der of the Council cannot come in and
ask that the SALARY of an individual be
increased. 1t is the duty OF the head OF
the department to come in and ask for
that.
End Member for Frederiksted Town
(Bro1UJ remarked: Mr.. Chairman, the
Council is doing more chan it should do,
because sometime ago it voted to send a
committee to Washington to urge leglsla-
ton f%orreduction of the export duty on su-
gar, and by so doing it has created a sltua-
tion which IS puzzling all OF US today. The
EXPORT tax has been reduced to benefit
the sugar people alone; and here we are
TODAY prepared to vote to keep employ
ees of the Government on starvation
a so that the sugar people could be
benefited. Mr.. Chairman, when the Bird
Member for Frederiksted Country Dis
trict saws that there is a reduction IN our
revenues ] wonder if he had in mind
the S14OO which we have lost for the
coming wear as a result of the reduction
made in the export duty ? 1t is a shame
that one cannot get the Municipal Com
mittee to move for an increase of reve-
nues here. Il have before me for the hrst
tine a copy Of St. Thomas Budget and |
think il is a shame that st. Thomas with
one town can raise more revenues thar
st. Croix. Instead OF voting starvation
wages for employees the Municipal Com
mittee should find a way to raise more
revenues so as to be able to pay employ
ees wages that would induce them to re
main on the island, and thereby prevent
ing foreigners from coming on the Is
land. end carrying the money where
they choose to carry 1t.
1st Member for Christiansted Town

Inc Honorable End Member for treder-
iksted Town is putting all the blame on

sure him that if he brings in a proposal
to raise additional revenues we would be
only too glad TO consider it.
Bird Member for Frederiksted Country
District {AnderSen) remarked: Mr.. Chair
man. it is a pity that the End Member
for Frederiksted Tow does not look at
the facts sQuarely in the face. He knows
that there is a very regular flow OF
revenues coming into the Treasury; he
cannot compare that with the revenues
collected in St. Thomas. If he would be
fair and take the revenues actually col
lected IN ST. Croix and divide that by ten
he would pet the actual revenues collect

to show him the situation as 1t IS.
