 An average of 13,545 fingerprints were received for search daily in December 1940, as contrasted with $500 in December, 1889.

 OBJECTIVE OF SCHOOL

Dr. James O.. Ryan, new Terri
 torial Commissioner of Education, speaking at a meeting of the Doug las Parent Teacher Association last
 night, expressed his interest in
 matters educational by confining his remarks principally to schools and their purpose, as follows
 With a quarter of the entire
 population of the United States engaged in the business of edu- cation, that is more than in all the rest of the world. Since the World War people have turned more and more to education with blind faith and there are now more children attending schools than ever. Approximately 30 mil lion are in the elementary grades, six million are in the intermediary and one million attend higher schools.
 "The question then, what is being achieved, naturally becomes the all-important one
 The speaker emphasized his opin- ion that schools were established for one purpose only, to educate children. All other things, he said, buildings, systems, teachers, are secondary; yet some schools fall short in results, He offered all help of his office possible at any time.
 Dr. Ryan complimented the town on the improvement which he not ed in the school over that of 1885 when last he visited here. He also brought greetings from the Fair banks Parent Teacher Association of which he was the President.
 pr. Joseph Rude, physician of Juneau, newly arrived from Pet ersburg, showed couple of reels of motion pictures taken at and around his, former home town. i Scenes in Thomas Bay and up the Stikine River were included. Ernstl Oberg contributed to the program with piano solo, Norma venture, by Belant.
 Roll call of members present started off the business session and again gave MT. Oberg's room the attendance prize. Letter from a committee of the mothers of Ketchikan primary schools asked of measure for leg islative action establishing the pub lie school age limit of six years old in September for children to begin school. This was favorably voted upon and ordered referred to the Territorial Board of Edu- cation.
 Resignation of Mrs. H. l.. Coch- rane as President of the or ganization and likewise withdrawal from the Executive Board was re- ceived but vote failed to approve A. Shudshift, chairman of inscription on the old school bell matter reported he would have the job completed by next meeting.
 Chairman of a ways and means Mrs. Calvin Pool offered suggestions for a competitive gun shoot or a food sale as prospective means for raising money. After1 quite a little discussion the com- mittee was continued with aid of Arthur Ladd as an added mem Der.
 Committee working on the pro- gram for dedication of the gym nasium suggested plans for serv- ing a buffet lunch following the
