pils; Fairbanks third, with 306 pu
pils; Anchorage fourth with 304 pu-;
pils; and Wrangell fifth with an en- j
rollment of 211. In considering the j
school population of these cities, how- j
ever it is necessary to take into ac- j
count the Juneau parochial school J
with an enrollment of approximately
75 pupils.
School Costs
Expenses and expenditures for:
schools, including citizenship night
schools and transportation of pupils, j
totalled S4S9.7S0.23. Of this amount j
$3,468.67 was expended for citizenship j
n*ight schools and $4,552.97 for trans- I
portation of pupils.
The largest expenditure was made j
'by Ketchikan with a total cost of $45,
414.77. The cost of the Juneau schools
was S42.113.41; Anchorage, $32,014.87;
Fairbanks, $29,525.29; while Cordova,
the next in rank expended $25,03S.25.
Small Schools Expensive
That there is in general a direct re- -
lation between the size and the cost
of schools is shown by the following
study of per capita costs per pupil
day in schools in incorporated cities.
All the schools listed offer high school
work. Per capita costs per pupil day
include expenses for both elementary
and high schools. Varying conditions
in Alaska, reflected in lack of uniform
ity in teachers’ salary schedules and
in cost of operation of the school
plant make comparison of costs in a
school of certain size in one section
with a school of similar size in anoth
er section impossible. It is interesting
to note that the two schools which
offer the wildest range of subject mat
ter and the most complete curriculum,
Juneau and Ketchikan, are at the bot
tom of the list in the matter of costs
thus illustrating the advantage accru
ing from a comparatively large en
rollment.
