The elementary schools have cost $2.49 more per pupil for instruction, and 9 cents more for supplies.
The amount spent for the school year 1932 was $9.36, or $1.69 less than was spent in 1931. The amount yielded for each child in the average membership of the schools for 1932, not in- cluding the vocational schools, was $84.41.
