Public School
Nome Will Open
Monday Sept. 21
The Nome Public School will
open Monday morning Septem
ber 21st, in the old school build
ing, said school board officials to
day.
A new superintendent, i^aivin
E. Pool, formerly of Winslow,
Washington, is arriving on the
S. S. Mount McKinley. Mr. Pool
will take the place of W. H.
Bloom who was given the appoint
ment of superintendent of the:
schools at Fairbanks. Mr. Pool
has hade two years training in
Normal School and five years
graduate work in the University,
of Washington, with a degree in
education. He holds a life certi- j
ficate in elementary teaching and
a superintendent’s credentials.1
He has had eleven years exper-,
ience as teacher and administra- |
tor and comes to Nome with j
splendid recommendations. Both
Mr. Pool and his wife, who is de- i
tained in Seattle until the sailing
of the last boat, are looking for- j
ward with pleasure to their ap- j
pointment in Nome.
Sailing also on the Mt. McKin [
ley are four other teachers. Miss J
Mildred Scott who has been a
high school teacher for the past j
two years and who has spent the'
summer in the States, and three1
teachers for the first and second,
3rd and 4th, 5th and 6th grades.
Mrs. Bockman, second high school
teacher, and Mr. Kirkpatrick of
the 7th and 8th grades have
spent their summer here with
Nomeites and are looking for
ward with enthusiasm to the op
ening of school.
The equipment, said board offi
cials, for the new school build
ing will probably arrive on the
September boat.
With the installation of this
new equipment the building will
be ready for occupancy and the
classes will be moved from the
old to the new building as soon
as possible.
Cooperation is the key-word
for so many movements today, j
May teachers, superintendents,
parents and the school board co- J
operate in making the new school
of Nome one of the best in the
country.

14-Year-Old Nome
Girl Tells of Fun
Flight North
Not many young ladies aged 14
can relate with just a slight rise
in encitement, what young Ann
Walsh, daughter cf M. J. Walsh
and wife, can in telling of her
recent trip to Candle with pilot
Maurice King and Miss Ella Po
linsky.
Young Ann tells of the plane
running into a snow storm a few
miles from Candle; of landing on
a sand bar, and of the misfortune
of the ship in receiving damage
to the landing gear; of spending
a night in a shelter cabin with
no fire; and then of floating down
the Keewalik river for about 40
miles or more on a home-made
raft of half-a-dozen logs, and then
just saying: “Mother and Daddy,
we nad -a fine time, and I en
joyed every minute of the trip,
even though we did have a little
tough luck.”
That’s the story the young lady
tells—a story which adults have
feared to experience, because of
the dangers contingent to forced
landings in the north.
Ann Walsh, 14, arrived today
with pilot King in another plane
from Candle, after visiting there
for the past few days. She said
it took about 14 hours to float
down the Keewalik river to Can
die, and the water was pretty
cold too.
With pilot King also, was Matt
