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.

sidy may be increased in some
future legislation. 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.
