E. Karnes in a talk at| the meeting of the City Council last evening, explained the oppor- tunity that Douglas will have to‘ send high school students to the: Juneau high school with the ad-| | vent of travel by bus when th el bridge is completed. The advan-| tages of so-doing, Mr. Karnes said, were two-fold; first a wider di- versification of subjects will available to the students due to apartment house | the larger faculty, and second, | saving of expense. N Entirely Optional { On two or three occasions, Mr, Karnes stated, he has been ap-| proached on the subject by resi-| dents of Douglas, asking whyw Douglas children could not attend| the Juneau school. His visit to the Council, he said, was madq with the view of giving the citi- zens something to think about and plan for if they wished to make the change, which would be en- | tirely optional with them. | Comparing the local situation ior Charcoal Point are transport-| ed by bus to the Ketchikan school; che cost per pupil per term, Mr,| | Karnes stated, is $32.00, against the present cost here of $65.31. Therefore the cost per pupil by sending them to Juneau would be cut in two and the Territory would pay $20 of the cost plus transpor< tation. Expense The Commissioner also alluded to the present arrangement of the ]Term.ory‘s sharing’ with all towns alike i the expense of educating the children, whereby the spread of from i1 percent to 80 percent of municipal revenues must go to- ward school maintenance with the tion smaller towns.
