 No other field of Territorial dis bursement exhibits a steadier and sleeper increase than the field of education. The general trend curve of the graph runs diagonally from almost zero in 1916 to almost one million dollars in 1937-38. This steady increase is shared by all phases of education, namely by rural schools, city schools and the University of Alasa, but is less marked in expenditures for the rural schools. Administrative costs of the public school system, how ever, have not increased apprecia- b,y.

with the juSt-right accessories.
At a recent embassy tea, Mrs.
Danforth wore a very severe
black frock, lightened by a triple
strand of deep rose beads. These
beads were intricately strung
and very fragile and were picked
up in Honolulu by Mrs. Dan

THE other day a group OF Ger
l. man children were in town,
something to do with the Dres-
den musicians, we think, and
three of the youngsters proceed
ed to dress themselves up in
their uniforms and start out to
see the sights of Washington.
Just as they were pressing their
little faces against a shop win
dow, q very trim looking woman
with a bit of gray at the tenn
piles came up, smiled at them
and then spoke to them.
The youngsters bowed and ex-
planned in apology. but not such
excellent English that they did
not Speak-English. The woman
laughed and explained to them
in German that it made no diff
ference, she could speak their
language having learned it in
Dresden, where she had once
attended school. Naturally after
that a most animated converse
ton took place, ending only
when the trim looking woman
suggested: Come with me and
let me treat you to an American
tidbit."
Off they all went to a candy
store and the hostess of this
party ordered three huge all
day suckers. The little Germans
had never seen such candy, but
with explanations on just how
to 60 about eating them, they
took to the candy with great
enthusiasm.
A bit later their hostess told
hem good-by and wished them
happy sojourn in America. and
he youngsters stood at atten-
ion and told their hostess how
happy they were to have a nice
.riend, and then added in Eng
.ish, Thanks for the all-day

woman and hostess to the young
3ters was none other than Mrs.
