SEXTON RECEIVES LETTER
FROM PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
George Sexton on this boat receiv
ed a personal letter from President
Calvin Coolidge commending him for
his stand on Americanism in the
Cleveland convention, and congratu
lating him on his appointment as Ter
ri to rial committeeman. Mr. Coolidge
stated that only Republicans of prov
en integrity should be appointed by
the National committee, and that the
honor of serving on such committee
was too little appreciated by the peo
ple. Mr. Sexton also received letters
from Lewis H. Smith, a member of
the committee on resolutions at the
Cleveland convention, complimenting
him for his valuable work and en
dorsing his appointment. The Cleve
land Plaindealer, the leading Republi
can paper of the city, gives Mr. Sex
ton a complimentary write-up and
endorses his appointment, believing
that his Republicanism entitles him to
the office, regardless of the Progres
sive vote at the primaries.
SCHOOLS BADLY NEEDED
MANY WESTWARD POINTS
Schools are badly needed at many
westward points according to residents
of the districts. At False Pass there
aie about 25 native children of school
age ,and no school. Supt. Nicholls,
of the A .P. Harris Packing Companv
declares that his company will furn
ish wharf facilities, water and lights
if a teacher and building is provided.
These natives scatter to their trap
ping grounds in winter and the only
time schools would be of ar. advan
tage would be in the summer months.
The Bureau of EducaCon has been
appealed to but has granted no relief.
At Chignik ,a worse condition ex
' ists as some 25 or 30 childi'en of
i school age are mixed whites and na
tievs. A fine school building is lo
cated here but no teacher is available.
■Jas. Osmund says that a summer
school here is a necessity as the same
