POLICEWONEN

The elevation Of Mrs. Nina Van
Wrinkle, director of the woman's
bureau, to the rank Of assistant
superintendent Of police IL provided
for in the latest draft Of the police
woman's bill. hearing upon which
is to be held by the Senate District
Committee tomorrow.
The assistant director is to have
the rank Of captain. and the force
Of policewomen is to be increased
to sixty-one, with one case
supervisor and three patrol super
visors provided for. The salaries OF
the force ara to be the same as
those provided for the Metropolitan
police.
The long-discussed section relat.
ing to the powers of the woman 8
bureau Is reduced to the statement
that the function of the bureau Is
'to do preventive protective work
and to exercise the functions Of the
police in the cases of women and
children" The opponents of the
bill have insisted the preventive
protective" phrase gives the police
woman broad powers in dealing
with women in their homes and in
public places. These powers, they
have said, should be most carefully
defined so that no policewoman
can abuse the discretion placed in
her.
The bill provides for the con,
tinuance Of the present officials OF
the woman's bureau in office and
places the policewoman under civil
service regulations.

ALASKA SCHOOLS COk1INEE GROWTH; NEW REFUND ACT
 REPORTED UNSATISFACTORY

JUNEAU.-Alaska schools experi- enced a small growth during the school year 1927-28, according to sta tistics prepared by Lester D. Hender- son, Territorial commissioner of edu- cation. The expansion which took place in comparison with the school year 192627 may be summarized as follows: In number of schools, 9; in number of teachers employed, 1s; in total enrolment, 155; in elementary school enrolment, 155; in high school enrolment, 44; in costs, S102,- 355.43.
 Increased costs may appear to be excessive in view of the growth along other lines. However, they are less real than appearances would indicate. At least S50,000 of the increase may be charged to the construction of new school buildings. In schools outside incorporated cities alone the cost of school buildings erected during the year was S29,993.9D, as compared with $4,344 for the school year 2926- 27.
 The following table sets forth de- tails relative to tthe number of schools maintained, their enrolment, etc.:

 ment ........-......-............ 4115 High school enrolment ... 713 Elementary school gradu-

 Of the ninety schools maintained, sixty-one were taught by one teacher each, ten by two teachers each, and the balance by from three to twenty teachers each. The enrolment varied from two pupils at Woodrow to 653 at Ketchikan. Costs ranged from s855.31 for the special school at Moose creek to s4s,9o8.3O, the expended at Juneau
 The per capita annual expense of schools in incorporated cities (not in- eluding expenditures for capital out fay) was S12585. Per capita annual expense for individual schools ranged from S205.03 at Eagle, the most ex-I pensive per pupil in average daily to S94.12 at Petersburg, the least expensive In schools out side incorporated cities the annual expense per pupil in average daily was S158.24.
 Incorporated cities derived an av- craze of 65.3 per cent of their total expenses and expenditures from the Territorial treasury The, total expended was $375,7O9.47. Of this omount, S245,331.26 was received from Territorial appropriations, and the balance, S130,326.O1, from local taxation. Cordova received -tha4high-
