worked UP to a high degree OF ef-
flciency IL laboratory methods are
used in their adjustment, but best all
around results by the home builder
are obtained when a simple. easily
constructed receiver with no critical
circuits is selected.
The improved controllodyne circuit
IL shown below. 1t consists of the
conventional two stages of tuned ra
do frequency ampliflcation with va.
riable plate resistance control for os
citations. The radio frequency tube
filaments are controlled by a single
amperfte. The detector and first
audio stage tube f1laments are con
trolled by rheostat and the last
stage tube filament is controlled by
an Independent amperite.
The amperites automatically pre-
vent overlooking the tubes which they
control. Best results in tone quality
and volume are obtained when the
detector is operated below it's rated
voltage. so that this fact makes 1t
necessary to adjust the detector and
first audio stages below the rated
voltage. This eliminates the need for
an expensive voltmeter and reduces
the cost of the set.
You will notice that the last audio
stage has independent "B" battery
and &c" battery connections. thus
making it possible to use any type of
tube in this stage.
The use of push-type sockets and
amperites makes it possible to use
any combination or type of tube with
out changing the circuit All that Is
necessary is to provide the proper am.
perNe cartridges, tubes and battery
connections.
A novel arrangement of solenoid
and Lekeless coils eliminates inter.
action without sacrificing coil eff
cheney.

Of the exploitation Of a number Of

The greater popularity of the straight
radio frequency circuit without fancy

which it can be constructed and put

 75 pupils.
 School Costs
 Expenses and expenditures for schools, including citizenship night schools and transportation of pupils, totalled s4S9,7SO.23. Of this amount $3,468.67 was expended for citizenship night schools and s4,552.97 for trans portation of pupils,
 The largest expenditure was made by Ketchikan with a total cost of S45,- 41477. The cost of the Juneau schools was s42,113.41; Anchorage, $32,Ol4.o7; Fairbanks, s29, 9,525.29; while Cordova, the next in rank expended S25,038.25.
 Small Schools Expensive
 That there is in general direct re- 1ation between the size and the cost of schools is shown by the following study of per capita costs per pupil dav in schools in incorporated cities, All the schools listed offer high school work. Per capita costs per pupil day include expenses for both elementary and high schools. Varying conditions in Alaska, reflected in lack of uniform ity in teachers salary schedules and lin cost of operation of the school plant make comparison of costs in school of certain size in one section with a school of similar size in anoth- CT section impossible. It is interesting to note that the two schools which offer the widest range of subject mat ter and the most complete curriculum, Juneau and Ketchikan, are at the bot l tom of the list in the matter of costs | thus illustrating the advantage accru- | ing from comparatively large en-
 rollment.
