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 computa- tion we exclude the cost of evening schools, and the voca- tional schools. The following shows

An examination of these tables shows that we have paid ninety-five cents less for the instruction of each pupil in the High School than in 1915, and ninety-seven cents less per pupil for supplies.
The grammar and primary schools have cost nine cents more per pupil for instruction, and nineteen cents less for sup- plies.
The amount spent for the school year 1916 was $5.69, or six cents less than was spent in 1915. The amount yielded for each child in the average membership of the schools for 1916, not including the vocational schools, was $31.41.
Comparative Per Capita. According to the annual report of the State Board of Education for 1915-16, the amount yielded for each child in the average membership of the public schools was $34.49, giving to Somerville the rank of 151 among the cities and towns of Massachusetts. In 1914-15 the rank was 116. By the same report it is shown that Somerville appropriated to the support of the public schools $5.82 for each thousand dollars of valuation, and had the rank of 155. The year before the amount spent was $6.08 and the rank 152.
