Professional Staff
To Study Alaska’s
School Problems
JUNEAU UP> — A year-long
study of Alaska’s school finances
and the administrative problems
of its primary and secondary ed
ucational institutions by a four
man professional staff got under
way Monday.
The study will be conducted
under a Ford Foundation grant by
Dr. Erick Lindman of UCLA, Dr.
H. Thomas James of Stanford,
Dr. Edgar Morphet of the Uni
versity of California and Dr. W.
D. McClurkin of George Peabody
College, Nashville, Tenn.
The professional team opened
the study by meeting with a state
advisory council on school fi
nances appointed by the State j
Board of Education.
Among other things, the profes- !
sional team will study and make
recommendations covering:
The sources and expenditures
of state school moneys, the allo
cation of state school funds, pos
sible sources of new school funds,
school construction needs and
teachers’ salaries and retirement.
The board and the professional
staff had been scheduled to dis
cuss school organization as it
would be related to the Borough
Sytem outlined by the State Con
stitution.
The board decided, however,
to delay the discussion until such
time as the Legislature makes a
move toward the actual establish
ment of a Borough System of
local government in Alaska.

INTEREST PAID ON
ON TWO AIRLINE TICKETS
PROVIDENCE, R. I. W> — In
April 1959, Mrs. Althea S. T.
Finch of Cranston, R. I., won two
Trans-Ocean Airlines tickets to
Hawaii as a door prize at the
Rhode Island Grocers Assn. Con

A death in the family and later
illness postponed the trip so long
Mrs. Finch finally sold the tickets
for $500 to a friend, who found
Transocean had gone out of busi
ness. Mrs. Finch returned the
$500 and sued the Grocers Assn.
Judge Fred B. Perkins awarded
her $883.68, the fair market value
of the flight plus $44.08 interest.

YANKEE HERO ! ! !
CHARLESTON, S. C. —
Even re-staged history can have
| its heroes.
When a replica of the old Union
| supply ship, the Star of the West,
sailed into Charleston harbor.
“Confederate” cannons began
firing at her as part of the nation’s
observance of the 100th Anniver
sary of the Civil War.
Suddenly, a fire broke out in
one of the batteries manned by
cadets from the Citadel, South
Carolina’s military college. One
of the cadets quickly doused the
blaze. The hero?
