NORTH IS LURE FOR
 SCHOOL TEACHERS


 Five applications for teachers po- sitions in the Territory were received today at Gov J. F. A. Strongs office, and Secretary w. W. Shorthin says that the office is continually in re- ceipt of very many more applications than it can possibly consider favora- bly,. -The teachers all seem to want to come North" said Mir. Shorthill. "and we haven't schools enough for them up here"
 The number of applications receiv- ed in Juneau. both by the Governors office and the local school board, ln- dicate that Alaskas fame has spread abroad The following figures from the recent report of the Commission CT of Education account for at least a few of the applications for teachers positions.
 Twenty-two million persons were enrolled in educational institutions of the United States during 1914. accord ing to the annual report just issued. or these over 19.O00.00O were register ed in elementary schools. 1.S74.OOO in secondary schools. both public and private. and 216.0OO in colleges and universities Close to another hun dred thousand were in normal schools preparing to be teachers. 67.OOO were in professional schools. and the re- mainder were scattered through other types of institutions. The teachers for this educational army numbered 100000 of whom 56e.OOO were in pub lie schools. In point of rapid growth the public school still represents the most impressive figures; the enroll ment for 1914 being greater by over S4,O00 than the year before.
 The cost of education for the year, as estimated by the bureau. was S75O.. 000.000. This three-quarters of a bil- lion is relatively small amount when compared with other items in the pub lie expense" declares the report. "It is less by S3OO.OO0.O0O than the cost of running the Federal government: it is less than one third of the Ma
 tion's expenditure for alcoholic Ii. quors; 1t is only @ little over three times the estimated cost of admis- sions to moving picture theatres in the United States for the same year. Measured in terms of product of the soil. the United States spent some what more for education in 1914 than the value of it's cotton crop. some what less than the value of its wheat crop. and less than half the value of the annual harvest of corn: while the nations bill for education was less by nearly a hundred millions shan the value of the exports from the har. Dor of New York in the calendar year just passed
 "Very little increase is yet to be noted" the report continues. "ln the average term for public schools. Be- tween 1910 and 1913 the increase was from 1875 days a year to 15S.1 days year. growth of only six.tenths of a day in three years. Attendance has improved. however. The average number of days attended by each per son enrolled increased from 1l3 in 1910 to 115.6 in 1915"
 Special subjects treated in this years annual report Of the commits sioner of education include: the Jun for high school; Montessori schools in the United States; denominational schools; vocational education: educa- tion for child nurture and home-mak- ing; school surveys. and education for special classes for children.
