CUTTER BEAR, REFITTED
Veteran of Many Missions, to Far

ovated for Duty.
BY the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-The old
Coast Guard cutter Bear, which has
been a fairy godmother to the settle
ments along the Alaskan snow wastes
for more than 40 years. put out again
yesterday from the port of San Fran
cisco. her sides agleam with new paint,
her sharp forefoot breaking a new
sea trail to Point Barrow. Last year,
upon her return from Alaskan waters,
1t was predicted that the Bear was
through" that she was to be decom-
missioned as the historic survivor of
many a thrilling battle with the Beh-
ring ice crush.
But this year found no boat to take
her place and the Bear was outfitted
once more for her voyage of mercy
and cheer. the same voyage she has
made yearly since she rescued the sur
vivors of the Greeley exploring expe-
dition from Grinnell Land Al years
ago. Last year she was caught in
the ice crush and reported lost. But
she came out in the Fall, the same
as usual, showing few marks of her
battle with the glacial destroyer.

 fer for 1925-26
PERCENTAGE IS JUMPING
Ono Hundred and Six Apply for Privilege of Voting in Bristol Three More Citizens Prefer Charges Against Police ScholI.

With q total increase of S39 pu- pills the local schools got under way with a rush yesterday and today the full schedule of operations began. The largest increase was that of 34 per cent in the Stafford district. The Federal Hill district had an in- crease of 20 per cent over the regis tration of last year, while the North Chippins Hill district showed q 23 per cent increase. Regarding the increases, the board of education is- sued the following statement today:
 Between now and Oct. there wilt undoubtedly be increases through out the public schools of the city totaling more than 100 children than recorded at present. This will bring the total increase over the record of last year 10 more than 400 pupils.
 From the above figures 1t will be interesting to note that the average annual increase in attendance from 1918 to 1928, period of ten years for the large h-toWn schools is 7,5 per cent each year. For this year the per cent of increase for these same schools is S,6 per cent. In view of the fact that the numbers are increasing each year. it is inter esting to note that the per cent of increase is larger, this year than any year since 1912. Figures previous to this date are not available at this time.
