ANNUAL REPORTS
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, and the vocational schools.

An examination of these tables shows that we have paid $5.22 less for the instruction of each pupil in the High School than in 1932, and 69 cents less per pupil for supplies.
The elementary schools have cost 88 cents more per pupil for instruction, and 37 cents less for supplies.
The amount spent for the school year 1933 was $11.75, or $2.29 more than was spent in 1932. The amount yielded for each child in the average membership of the schools for 1933, not including the vocational schools, was $84.39.
