average cost per pupil approximately $20 less in 1932-33 than in 1930-31.
 "This fine cooperation from the school boards has meant that Alaska is one of the few places in the United States or it's Territories where activi- ties haven't been curtailed and where the salaries of teachers have not been decreased.
 "The cost per pupil in the rural schools last year was $141. The pre- vious year it was $152. This year it is estimated it will not exceed $130. In the city schools the cost runs a little less. The average was $125 in 1930-31 and dropped to $119 last year. It is difficult to make any exact estimate as to what the cost this year will be.
 "With salaries not only of teachers but of janitors at the former levels, practically all saving shave been made in operation costs and in re- placements. Lower commodity prices have helped. Repairs and replace ments have been kept at the mini mum in rural schools. No new build ings have been constructed. This has made it possible to keep the schools open for the usual nine-months period"
 When he leaves here MT. Keller will go to Healy, Wasilla, Matnuska and Anchorage. If he can make con- nections he will go down Cook Inlet to Knai, Kasilof, Homer, Seldovia, Port Graham, Port Chatham and thence to Seward. Valdez will be the next stopping place on his itinerary. He will visit aGurdoMa and possibly Chitina, and then will return to Ju neau, arriving there late in October.
 "We are developing high school workat Kodiak, Seldovia and Bethel, and are strengthening the high schools in Nome, with the idea of making each town high school center for it's district. We are getting a grad ual start on the plan, and it probably will be expanded to other towns as enrolment warrants.
 Tn practically all schools ninth grade work is offered for these who care to take advantage of t.
 'Sitka added teacher this year, as did Nome each with the idea of increasing effectiveness of the work and developing an accredited high school. There is no reason why either eshouldn't be placed on the accredited list ma very short time if develop ment work started this year is con- tinued.
 ''If it hadn't been for the shortage of funds there would have been two or three new school buildings this. Healy and Big River made requests for them.
 Transportation lines have been improved and increased. One :hne was added this year and three last year, including the farmers road line here, the Loop road at Anchorage, and a line f0. West Petersburg.
 ''This year ne wline was placed in operation from Ketchikan to Herring Cove, taking care of about IT pupils. We had requests for lines from two or three more places, but couldn't af- ford to authorize them all and had to use our available money where it would serve the greatest number.
 "As soon as conditions ease up, three new school buildings will be built, plans for them already having been drawn. The selected sites are Marshall, Matanuska and .Afognak.

SUPT. KELLER TELLS OF
 TERRITORIAL SCHOOLS
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)

(Fairbanks -Miner.)
 Despite a constantly growing en- rollment, the average cost per pupil has been decreased so sharply that the Territorial school system is being operated on a more economical basis.
 That is the word brought to Fair banks by w. w. Keller, Territorial Commissioner of Education.
 Facing problem which has been universal throughout the country dur ing the depression period, Alaska has met with no loss of school efficiency and no salary reductions, said the Commissioner.
 The school year is no win swing. In most places enrolment has in- creased over that of last year.
 The Territorial school system was prepared to accommodate $500 stu dents, and approximately that num- s,ber are believed to have registered. e Of that number, about 1900 are in :. incorporated clLleS.
 There are now 90 Territorial .s schools, 7of them being in incorpo- rated cities or incorporated school : districts, and the remaining 73 being rural schools. Of the total number, nine are what are known as special schools, being conducted without school boards and having less than ten pupils each. The number of spe- j. cial schools is steadil yincreasing, MT. Keller observes.
 To bring knowledge to those 1900 X pupils there is a staff of 275 teachers = At Moose Pass the school has been >sc changed from special to one ad- ministered by a school district.
 A new school has been opened at Nushagak. A school was maintained there until 1928 or 1929, when it was discontinued due to lac kof attend .ance.
 Special schools were established this year at Peake Island, in Prince William Sound, near Valdez, at Farm Island near Wrangell, and at Kasilof.
 On tn eother hand, schools at Curry and Chilcoot have been closed, due to a lack of attendance.
 MT. Keller was asked how the cam paign he inaugurated two years ago to bring about the engagement of more Alaska girls as teachers was faring.
 ct has met with decided success" he said. "The result has been that in two years we have cut down the annual turnover of teachers from 40 per cent to less than 10 per cent"
 He mentioned the Misses Lucille Lavey and Dorothy Ellison as being two Fairbanks girls who were em- ployed as teachers this year, Miss Lavery having gone to Wiseman and Miss Ellison to Flat.
 ''We have placed number of girls who are graduates of Alaska high schools and who have completed their normal school work. School boards are taking Alaska girls in preference to Outside teacrers. Prac- tically all the high schools in the Territory have at least one graduate teaching in the Territory.
 "We've been faced with a short age of funds during the last two :. years and were forced to set about conserving our funds so schools could be operated without shortening the terms or curtailing activities. School boards have cooperated by keeping costs to.a minimum. As a result, the cost pers.pupil during the school yea 1931-32 ,dopped about $10. Indica-

Southern railroads have withdrawn
their best trains to save money and
nave brought anguish to hearts OF III
tie boys who would rather be engineers
than kings or even cowboys.
The Illinois Central's Panama Lin
tied and the Frisco's Sunnyland, in
stitutions down here where trains and
steamboats, still are romantic things,
have been driven to early graves by
hard times. And since there is an af-
finity between trains and little boys,
the passing of the limiteds means more
than just an economic change.
The Sunnyland was what the folks
In the Ozarks called the SLOW train
through Arkansas" 1t came snorting
around the mountains, always on time
and filled fast assignment between ST
Louis and Memphis. Songs have been
written about it and tales always will
be told about its speed.
The Panama, de luxe limited that
followed the valley from Chicago to
New Orleans, will never be replaced in
hearts of thousands of persons to whom
1t was timepiece and inspiration.
1t was news that the Panama was
late. A lavishly equipped train that
made the 1000-mile run in less than
"a hours, 1t was the pride and JOY of
the valley.
The Panama's fame was so great
that boys were promised trips on its
clubcarS as payment for good behavior.
The train left Chicago several hours
behind its sister, the Creole Limited,
and hurried through the corn belt to
Carbondale, where it grabbed its St.
Louis sleepers at dusk and headed for
the South. Folks at Cairo often de-
layed supper until three long. sonorouS

phis around midnight, caught its breath
and then slipped away through Mis-
sissippi. The pant of the engine could
be heard for miles in that fiat country
and the scream of its whistle as the
train cried for green lights and clear
track always told the planters it was
time to be up and about the early morn
ing chores.
Soon after it crossed the louisiana
line, the Panama overlook the Creole

Its passing means hundreds of fami-

his engine so the shrill blasts wouldn't
awaken the hamlets. And he played
tunes on it
Mike always left Memphis for Ala

cleared the last green light of the yards
he would strike up Alabama Bound"

VERDICT GIVEN
IN AUTO CRASH

Excessive speed of a car driven
by Adolfo Acosta of Ell Paso, as
we'll as the lack of warning signs
on the San Diego highway near
Boulder Park, at the top of the
Mountain Springs grade, were
blamed yesterday morning for the
death of Mrs. Louisa Tovar de
Ramirez of Ell Paso, who was rid
ing with Acosta.
A coroner's jury yesterday morn
ing returned a verdict finding that
death was the result of excessive
speed on the part Of Acosta and
negligence of the highway commits
sion in failing to post warning
signs on that dangerous portion
of the highway where the fatal ac-
cident happened.
Mrs. Ramirez was killed when
the car in which she was riding
coming down a sweeping curve at
a high rate of speed, struck the
faulty junction of old and new
pavements. left the highway, over
turned and broke into flames.
Acosta, who was injured, is re-
covering, according TO hospital re-
ports.
