The elementary schools have cost 25 cents more per pupil for instruction, and 53 cents less for supplies.


The amount spent for the school year 1925 was $9.20, or 20 cents less than was spent in 1924. The amount yielded for each child in the average membership of the schools for 1925, not including the vocational schools, was $62.39.
