SEWARD IS THIRD
IN SHOWING GAIN
SCHOOL ENROLLMENT
KETCHIKAN IS FIRST, JUNEAU
THIRD AND SEWARD IN
THIRD PLACE
Five teachers, 320 pupils, and $16,
266.13, represent the net gain in in
structors, enrollment and school
operating costs of the Territorial
school system in the school year
1926-27, it is announced by L. D.
Henderson, Commissioner of Educa
tion. The total cost of operating the
schools last year was $509,915.37,
figures complied by the Department
of Education show.
Completed reports for the year
jshow a total enrollment of 4,673 pu
pils as compared with 4,353 for 1925
t
; 26. The enrollment was divided as
follows: High School, 699, elemen
tary schools 3,974.
The gain in enrollment was about
normal as compared to the gains
made in the several years preceding,
Mr. Henderson said. The increase
in teachers and larger costs of oper
ating were proportionate to the gain
in enrollment.
The increase in enrollment in in
corporated towns made up the larger
part of the total gain, being 230,
leaving a net gain of 90 in enroll
ment in schools outside of incorpo
rated communities. There were 3,
218 pupils in the schools in incorpo
rated towns and 1,455 in other
schools.
Ketchikan led the rest of the Ter
ritory in the number of pupils gain
ed with 83. Juneau was in second
place with 49. and Seward third with
24. Fairbanks gained 18 over the
previous year. These schools show
ed total individual enrollments as
follows: Ketchikan 622; Juneau 522;
Fairbanks 324, and Seward 126.
There were a few other schools
showing small gains and some re
ported slight decreases in enrollment.
