An examination of these tables shows that we have paid sixty-six cents more for the instruction of each pupil in the high school than in 1913, and sixty-six cents more per pupil for supplies.


The grammar and primary schools have cost fifty-eight cents more per pupil for instruction, and seven cents less for supplies.


The amount spent for the school year 1914 was $5.68, or eight cents more than was spent in 1913. The amount yielded for each child in the average membership of the schools for 1914, not including the industrial schools, was $30.71.


Comparative Per Capita. According to the annual report of the State Board of Education for 1913-14, the amount yielded for each child in the average membership of the public

schools was $32.59, giving to Somerville the rank of 116 among the cities and towns of Massachusetts. In 1912-13 the rank was ninety. By the same report it is shown that Somerville appropriated to the support of the pub- lic schools $5.75 for each thousand dollars of valuation, and had the rank of 158. The year before the amount spent was $5.98 and the rank 140.
