ALASKA HIGH SCHOOL GRADS.
 SEEK HIGHER EDUCATION

q JUNEAU.-Alaska high school graduates continue to see higher edu- cation in considerable numbers, ac- cording to figures recently. compiled by. the Territorial Department. of Education. The graduating clas osf 1926 numbered 60 students. Fifty three per cent of these are now at tending higher institutions of learn ing, and, in addition, sone student is taking postgraduate. work in the Cordova high school. Several stud ents who were unable to attend col lege this year are planning to enter next fall. Final figures on the sub- ject, therefore, will show a much larger per cent who pursue advanced work than is indicated at the present time.
 ..e The Aalska Agricultural College and School of Mines is affording ed ucation to g larger number than have entered any other institution. Approximately one-third of those en- tering college last September, or eleven students, enrolled in this in- stitution. The University of Wash ington ranks in second place, with six enrolled, and Washington State College (Pullman) in third place, with five entering from Alaska.
 Graduates of three high schools entered higher institutions of learn ing 100 per cent strong, viz., Fairs bank with nine students, and Haines and Valdez with one student each. Eight of the nine graduates. of the Douglas high school are pursuing, advanced work. Fairbanks high school graduates all entered the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. One student each from two other Alaska high schools enrolled in this institution.
