Robinson Urges Boards To Try School Jointure (Continued from Page Six) Harry N. Major Dies In Florida Harry N. Major, 72, former Dal- las resident, died March 20 at St. Petersburg, Fla., where he had re- sided for a number of years. Born in Wilkes-Barre, son of Theodore and Susan Roushey Major, he spent the greater part of his boyhood days on a farm on Overbrook road, home now oc- cupied by Mrs. Warren Yeisley. Mr. Major was married twice, his first wife being the former Mary Hughes of Philadelphia and the second a lady from Binghamton .who survives him. His other survivors are sons, Donald of Brooklyn, Pa., Glenn, Centermoreland, Lawrence, Pitts- burgh and daughters, Madeline Stanton, Washington, D. C., Dor- othy, Pensacola, Fla.; five grand- children and three great grand- children, and a sister, Mrs. Nelson Whipp,Church street, Dallas. Mr. and Mrs. Major lived at Keelersburg for many years while he was Star Route mail carrier be- tween Centermoreland and Dallas. From Keelersburg he moved to Scranton and finally to Brooklyn, Pa., where he embarked on the lumber business. On retirement he chose to make his home in the Sunny South. By many of the older residents of Dallas and vicinity he will be remembered as the left handed second baseman of the Dallas Base Ball Team about 1907 to 1909, considered one of the best of ama- teur teams. The body was brought to the home of his son, Donald, Brooklyn, Pa., where funeral services were held Tuesday at 2 P.M. Inter- ment was in Brooklyn Cemetery.

The same will apply to other expenses with the result that ultimately there will be no choice in the matter but to reorganize in order to avoid bankruptcy. Why Does The State Want Reorganization ? It is merely a political scheme to give the state more authority over the school system? To an- swer this categorically is impos- sible. In the first place, the pri- mary duty of education is vested in the state. It then follows that the state must have full author- ity to set standards and to make certain that there be no break- down of the educational system at the local level. Therefore the fact that the state has set up a system of local administration by delega- tion of its authority does not ex- cuse the state from final respon- sibility for both the quality of ed- ucation and the most efficient ex- penditure of the tax money. The overwhelming opinion of professional educators is the re- organization must not be delayed. Therefore, it is obvious that the state must encourage local action in this regard or in the event that this fails, it must take action it- self as has already. been done in California and Texas. Conclusion In’ the interests of our children who are the citizens and the lead- ers of tomorrow, the Back Moun- tain Citizens’ Committee for the Public Schools associates itself wholeheartedly with the national movement for the setting up of more effective and more efficient school administrative districts. It recognizes that the initiative for this should rest with the school boards concerned. In the absence of such initiative, however, it is imperative that the voters be fully informed so that action may be taken locally while it is still possible. P. A. Mulcey R. D.
