Per Capita Cost. The proper method of comparison of the cost of schools year by year is to consider the sum spent for each pupil in the average membership. In this computation we exclude the cost of evening schools, the sum being so large as possibly to mislead. The following shows

An examination of these tables shows that we have paid $0.23 more for the instruction of each pupil in the high school than in 1910, and six cents less per pupil for supplies.
The grammar and primary schools have cost twenty-five cents more per pupil for instruction, and twenty-nine cents less for supplies.
According to the Annual Report of the State Board of Education for 1910-'11, the amount yielded for each child in the average membership of the public schools was $29.89, giving to Somerville the rank of 109 among the cities and towns of Mas- sachusetts. In 1909-'10 the rank was 93. By the same report it is shown that Somerville appropriated to the support of the public schools $5.59 for each thousand dollars of valuation, and had the rank of 132. The year before the amount spent was $5.75 and the rank 121.
The amount spent for the fiscal year 1911 was $5.52, or seven cents less than that spent in 1910. The amount yielded for each child in the average membership of the schools for 1911, not including the industrial schools, was $28.46.
