We are also asked to shoulder an unequal burden in an attempt to do something about the tuberculosis problem in Alaska which is overwhelmingly a problem existing chiefly among the natives, not the whites. We believe that much good would come out of the establishment of a one school system in Alaska for all children in Alaska. But unless the Federal govern- ment is willing to assume its share of the cost the only result would be a much lower standard of education than is now seen in the Territorial schools PO ORSCRIPTION RATES: | government pays to State school systems tuition for the | ® .

Astrologers foretell gradual adjustments after workers have sul- fered severe disappointments . BUSINESS AFFAIRS Christmas shopping will be gen- erally lavish this year, but the seers |warn of an inevitable slump after the holidays. For years astrolog- ers have preached thrift and now ONE SCHOOL SYSTEM? S T Cash Bonuses for Veterans A plan to merge the Territorial schools and the Federal schools for Alaska Indians, Aleuts and Eskimos | into one school system was discussed briefly during last spring's session of the Territorial Legislature and has received considerable discussion since that time. Don C. Foster, head of the Alaska Native Service, is in favor of such a program. He expressed this opinion during the Legislature and_reiterated it at the (Cincinnati Enquirer) The general notion of assisting returning veterans is laudable. More can be done for them, and more | should be done. But it does not follow that the best way to help them is to hand out cash bonuses. Such | a policy might help the automobile business more than it would help the veterans. Or, to put it more serfously, it might encourage the making of a lot of recent Alaska Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood | qown payments for intriguing articles which the Convention.
