PRESENTSYSTEM. OF REFUND TO CITIES MAY STAY
Karnes Describes Financial Aid to Alaska Schools
 in Late Bulletin

According to an article written for the, current issue Of the Alaska School Bulletin by Anthony sE. Karnes, Commissioner of Educa- tion, it is unlikely that the present system of refund to the city schools by the Territory will be changed by the Legislature now in session. f
 Commissioner Karnes says in his article:
 'The Territorial Board of Edu- cation, at its meeting in May, re- commended to the Legislature among other things:
 That the Legislature consider the advisability of the Territory's support of schools in incorporated cities to be hereafter based on average daily attendance rather than on a percentage of expendi- lures which are csassed as re- fundable as is now the case
 Since the Boards recommenda- tion has gone out, much propagan- da has been spread to the effect that all of the smaller schools and the larger schools to the Westward would be discriminated against and that the proposed change would help only the larger schools in Southeast Alaska. On the con- trary, such would not be the case.
 T would like to assure the peo- pie concerned with the refund plan to cities that it is not the intention of the Commissioner of Education nor Of the Territorial Board of Education to recommend any plan to the Legislature which cannot be approved by the cities themselves, and I am sure that the Legislature itself would not act upon any recommendation that would not be helpful to all cities"

ALASKA SCHOOLS BULLETIN REPORTS
 NEW U. s. BUREAU

Possible establishment of a new Federal Department of Public Welfare, headed by a Cabinet member, is reported by the cur rent issue of the Alaska School Bulletin.
 The Bulletin says:
 Into it would be put a number of established bureaus and services plus several new ones to be created next year. The bureaus are:
 Bureau of Education-now un- der Interior Department.
 Public Health Service-now un- der the Treasury.
 "Children's Bureau-now under the Labor Department.
 Women's Bureau-also under La- Dor.
 Federal Emergency Relief Ad- n-independent.
 Public Works Administration = now under Interior.
 "Old age pension, and unemploy- ment insurance agencies-yet to be authorized.
 Sponsors of the plan argue that these services have direct and interrelated connection, that com bining them under one direction will make for greatly enhanced ef- fectiveness.
 They even have a chief for the new Cabinet post-Harry Hopkins youthful dynamic FERA chief.

Miss Edna Jones Of Rokeby Lock.
who was here Wednesday at the
Democrat office, stated that Lieut..
Robert Mcmahon, aged Is years.
of the U. S. government air service.
who has been missing since July
4th, was her cousin. His mother,
Mrs. Mary Hudson Mcmahon, re-
sides at Huntington, w Va. Lieut..
Mcmahon and a companion were
sent out by the government in the
Panama canal zone, and whether
the plane was struck by lightning,
or from other cause, it crashed into
the sea, since the floating raft from
it was later found, and Lieut. Me-
Mahon's companions body was
later found floating in the ocean
Whether Lieut.. Mcmahon went
down in the wreckage of the plane,
or may have been devoured by
shark, which are very numerous in
the waters there, will perhaps ney-
er be known. He was an expert
pilot.
His mother formerly resided on

also a cousin of Mrs. Carlos Martin

Mrs. Nancy seaIock Writes

MT. Ray DufDlH, EulJOr MDTSdH
County Democrat, McConnelsville
O., Dear Mr.. Durbin:-I have read
the account you have of Wills
death in your last weeks paper.
The accounts which you no doubt
got in other newspapers are mud
died and only partly true. They
make no special difference, perhaps,
except that Thelma and /, as well
as Will, would be we'll satisfied to
have just the truth told of us at all
times. We had no bedside scenes
at all. We heard glass crash in
the kitchen sink; in a moment or
two he walked firmly from the
kitchen through the buffers pantry,
dining room, living room, into the
sun porch where Thelma and I were
sitting, and announced in a firm,
even a half triumphant voice-'sI'm
dying" He started to sit down in a
rocking chair and fell forward into
my arms, both of us then being on
the floor of the sun room. While
held him, Thelma and my nephew,
Shamel Moore, called over phone
for help and worked at their best
with first aid measures. Friends
and physicians came quickly, but
nothing could have been speedy
enough-his bright, keen, mind had
looked after that.
We are grateful to you for the
expression of your own personal be-
lief in him which you state in your
writeup. The same message of
faith and belief in him is coming in
to Theima and me by letter and
telegram from one end of the
United States to the other. Your
belief is entirely justified. His
fault was that he was developing a
fine Municipal university here
which he had promised to attempt
to do when he came here, and his
bad luck was heavy faction
against as well as one for it. He
was physically i'll; and had worked
so desperately hard on the job it
was simply too much. Not that the
recent disturbances alone were the
whole thing, but that he felt he
should have to go on fighting for
the work he was trying to do, and
concluded it was not worth it.
Please do not think that because
he took his own life he was insane;
for he believed that when one can
not live up to highest that one has
attained and still aim-and-go-high-
er, then it is time to get out I as
sure you his mind was perfectly
sane and clear He was physically
i'll, and deadly tired. 1t may be
some time before l am equal to get
ting letters written to our many
fr;a do IL, of
my husbands secretary; SO I am
willing for you to use this letter, or
part of it as you see fit, since the
Democrat will carry it into many
hands that I know are being held
out to us as We stagger under our
crushing loss.-Yours Sincerely

Cured while he was on his way to
