ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION GIVES $10,OOO FOR CARRY
 ING ON OF WORK

For the purpose of aiding In es- tablishing a station at the local college for the study of the aurora. the Rockefeller Foundation has ap- propriated the sum of ten thousand dollars. Official notification from the Secretary of the Foundation has just been received by President Bunnell.
 Dr. Max Mason, Director of Ma tural Sciences of the Rockefeller Foundation writes Bunnell as fol- lows:
 Official notification is going forward to you of the appropriation by the foundation of $10,000 for the study of the aurora at Fair banks. Payments will either be made under this appropriation at your request which in this case may be directed to me.
 "We are very happy to cooperate in this enterprise and are. very much pleased that you are willing to make the facilities at the Alaska College available for carrying on these photographic studies"
 Study of the aurora has been con- ducted in the University of Oslo, Norway, for several years by Dr. Carl Stroemer under an appropria- tion made by the Rockefeller Foun- dation.
 Believing that this study could be supplemented to advantage by a station in Interior Alaska where climatic conditions are very favor able and where auroral displays are unusually brilliant, the matter was taken up two years ago with Commander N. H. Heck of the U. S. Coast Guard and Geodetic Survey, who, together with J. A. Fleming, Secretary of the American Geo. physical Union and Dr. Stroemer, enthusiastically supported the pro- ject.
 Professor Fuller of the physics department of the College, with equipment for the most part of his own construction, made some note worthy observations, and the same were submitted for inspection.
 In April this year President Bun- nell received from MT. Fleming the following very encouraging tele- gram:
 "Gratified inform you National Research Council favorably in- dorsed April eighteen project es- tablish at your college station for systemation observations of aurora and associated phenomena to am- plify important investigations be- ing made in Norway by Stroemer and colleagues at observatory there for which Rockefeller International Education Board provided some time ago grant of seventy four thousand dollars. Establishment such a station in Alaska will also realize resolution International Ge- odetic and Geophysical Union at general assembly in Prague, Czech oslayakia nineteen twenty seven em- phasizing importance establishing first class auroral station Alaska"
 The necessary cameras, tripods and photographic plates are being ordered through Dr. Stroemer and it is hoped will arrive in time for some observations during the pres ent winter.
 According to President Bunnell, MT. Ernest Sawyer Walker took great interest in the project on his visit to Alaska last summer and MT. T. A. Marquam has rendered valuable assistance in furnishing detailed information concerning lo- cal conditions.

CLASS HISTORY
Margaret Witt


Eleven years ago, there took
place, unknown to many, an event
which was destined to shake the
very foundations of the scholastic
world. with its momentous import
ance.
Eleven years ago a class arose
which was in later life to. astound
the nation with its knowledge.
Eleven years ago great change
in our life took place.
In short. eleven years ago.. the
class of 1880, now the Junior class,
came into existance.
Even in the lower grades their
brilliance was noted and exclaimed
over by all the teachers and indeed
we have it from the doting par
ents Of each and every one Of these
pupils that they had never seen
anything that could compare with
them in the way of intelligence
and philosophy so beyond their
years.
In the fifth grade, the instructor
gave up the task of teaching ms
precocious pupils, complaining tnat
the children knew more ABOUT thS
lessons than he himself dld, and
that shortly he would be learning
from his students.
In the eighth grade they passed
the difficult examinations with
great facility andtheir graduation
was galaxy of youthful wisdom,
beauty and talent, of which there
has never yet been seen an equal.
Upon their advent into the high
school, it was predicted by the town
sages that great things would come
to pass, which prophecy was proved
when the class Immediately sent
the pick of its strongest into the
football field. its most studious to
the highest perch on the honor roll
and its most persuasive as Ash.
ticket sellers. its business-minded
members as high school officers
and the cream of its wit into prom
inence as. assembly speakers.
As S0phmores they received the
Freshmen into high school in the
customary time-honored way, took
honors in the ticket sale, again
mOnopolized the honor roll, and in
general behaved themselves as
self-respected Sophmores should.
But it remains for them to outdo
themselves in their junior year
when they, with their usual ingen-
uity, started work on a marvellous
Junior Carnival, and in commemor-
alton Of which, they have taken
over this issue Of the K. Fl. S.
Broadcasters.
1T hardly seems possible that
they can scale further heights in
their senior year, yet they solemn
ly assure us that it is their inten-
ton to make this final year of
high school a memorable one, and
as it is not for US to Judge what
may come to pass, we leave you
to your own opinion.

WE REVERSE OURSELVES

AT this writing the Showalter
"A bill for the reorganization Of
common schools has passed the
state senate and will probably pass
the lower chamber soon. 1t was not
long ago that this newspaper ex-
pressed itself vehemently against
this bill and we think rightly so.
It is always difficult to reverse
ones opinions, especially in print,
but that is what we are about to
do, but again with good reason.
The first article was printed after
the first figures on the proposed
bill were released. These figures
were later revised.
When the revised figures were
brought to our notice, virtually all
of our objections to the bill were
done away with. Kennewick will
substantially gain under the new
plan. The schools of Finley and of
Hover will receive about the same
amount Of money as they do now
and none Of the schools Of the
county will be forced to close. The
county as whole, will be some
what the gamer, according to
cording to school authorities.
Hence, we are now for it.

has chosen, one cannot but admire
the fine spirit and character of a
man who is willing to devote his
! life in caring for the ills of others,
especially in a foreign country
and without adequate renumera-
ton.
But not only to DR.. Rue, but also
to Mrs. Rue does our admiration
extend. DIR. Rue will have his work
which will occupy a great deal Of
his time and will be interesting to
him, regardless of where his pro-
|fession might be practiced. 1t takes
an intrepid soul to be willing to
raise her children without conven-
fences, far away from familiar as
sociation, to give up the pretty
frills of life for them and for her
self.
Undoubtedly fine qualities of the
mind and spirit will replace many
of the mere mundane things of
life for the entire family. But it is
to the courage to make such de-
cisions that one must pay homage.
