Miss News body, her throat slash ed and bearing bruises which in- dicated she had been strangled, was found nearly a mile from the spot where Taylor admittedly parked his automobile and "got rough" with the college girl last Monday night.

 Miss New was buried yesterday in her childhood home at Hefiin, Ala, where 300 of her Birming- ham friends and classmates paid final respects to the girl medical student.

SCHOOL REVIEW

Three hundred years of Ameri- can high school education will be reviewed throughout the United States during the current school year.
 Plans include a program based upon the American tradition of free public education, the founding of which occurred simultaneously with the opening of Boston Latin School. The importance of this tradition, throughout, is to be en- Dhasized in relation to the demo- cratic high school of today.
 Three hundred years ago, and for many years afterward, high school was a few boys from g to 12 years of age, with only Latin classics as their preparation for professions of law. medicine, theo- logy, navigation and teaching. To- day the high school consists of hundreds and sometimes 1000 or more boys and girls. As an entire ty, the high schpol student body of the United States embraces nearly 6,000,000 boys and girls of all races, from 13 to 19 years of age. These pupils study almost every subject which modern cul-

SAXMAN INDIAN WOMAN DIES
 AT AGE CLAIMED TO BE 109

Mrs. June Starish, an Indian wo- man whose age was claimed to be 109, died Sunday at her home in Saxman, says the .Ketchikan Choni- cle.
 Born at Cape Fox during the Russian regime in the Territory, she was a 42-year-old woman when Alaska became an American depen- dency. Ailments incident to old age are attributed as the cause of her death. She had been failing for the past three years and under con stant care of relatives.
 A high regard for the aged wo- man was held among natives and whites alike in the community. Friends are constant and emphatic in the statement that "hers. was a busy and useful life, filled with loyal attempts to advance her peo- ple.'

tural and vocational training de- mands. Twenty three thousand high schools, with a staff of 250,- 900 teachers and administrators, are engaged in training these youngsters to enter into the mod ern complexities of life.
 But with all our experience, all our vast mechanical equipment and responsibilities, there is still asead of us a higher realization - the goal laid down three centuries ago free education, democratic and universal" Today nearly 50 per- cent of our boys and girls are de- prived of high school education, the blame for which does not lie with our high schools, but with econo mic and other conditions.
 Many thousands of young men and women, drifting about the country in ignorance, disease, squalor and crime, are becoming hopelessly lost to the ideals of home life and American manhood. Much of this deplorable status could be alleviated if the short sighted taxpayers in the home com munities of these young people would support high school pro grams.
 MT. Charles F. Allen, president of the Department of Secondary School Principals of the National Education Association, said in this connection:
 "The high schools today are ur- gently in need of public support, not as much for purchases of equip ment as for a reshaping of the program to provide Por more ex- tensive social service, guidance, vocational training, and participa- tion in community problems.
 But as Governor Winant of Yer mont said recently, mo man in public office can make conditions any better than the public wants them to be- There is no hope of the high schools training youngsters to swamp of economic disorder unless the people of the United States ask that the job be done."
 The press, the radio, the pulpit and all other mind-making agencies classified as truly American, have their duties in the present crisis in education.
 It must be remembered that all our comforts, all our present-day means of earning a livelihood and all that pertains to life are pre- dicated on education-the develop ment of the human mind. That de- velopment cannot rest over a peri cd of years without losing much of what society has gained. Indeed, no complex civilization such as ous dares trifle with a social ele- ment so transient as education. The rhythm forward must be main- tained or mankind decays.-Ex.

KETCHIKAN REDMEN TO SEND
 MORTGAGE UP IN SM0K KE

Burning mortgages may be a dream of many and the hope of others with the establishment of the governments housing admin istration in the Territory, but it remains the realization of the Red Mems lodge in Ketchikan to carry it into actual effect. On November 27 the members will gather for a dinner in their lodge hall to com memorate the occasion of having paid off the last of a $15, 1000 mort gage on their property, reports the Chronicle. The mortage, or rather the paper that was the mortgage, will be set ablaze as ritual at the occasion.
 Six turkeys are to be prepared for the dinner which is expected to serve about 30 member-guests. Incidentally, the dinner will also serve to celebrate the birthday of
