The following shows :


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 60 cents more for the instruction of each pupil in the High School than in 1935, and 29 cents less per pupil for supplies.


The elementary schools have cost $1.30 more per pupil for instruction, and 3 cents more for supplies.


The amount spent for the school year 1936 was $12.60, or 24 cents more than was spent in 1935. The amount yielded for each child in the average membership of the schools for 1936, not including the vocational schools, was $83.86.
