In the above table the scholars in the Evening and Drawing Schools are not included.
The absence of those scholars who are out of school for two weeks or more at one time is not included in the table, as their names are stricken from the registers and the absence not counted from the time they left until they return.
It will be seen, by referring back to former reports, that the record of the average number of cases of tardiness to a scholar has been changed ; the change has been made by making up the averages on the average attendance, instead on the average num- ber belonging. That the average should be made on the average attendance is, upon reflection, obviously correct. It will be seen that there has been a steady improvement from year to year for the last six years; but the evil has not by any means been reduced to its minimum.

*Eleven months. ¡ Auditor's statement.
The above table is an interesting one ; it has been carefully pre- pared, and represents the actual expenditures of the city.
The table shows how rapidly we have grown. While $75,304.20 paid our total expenses in 1850, it took $1,438,237.58 for the expenditures of 1870, of which $520,209.42 was for sewers and water, leaving $918,020.08 for other expenses.
One object in presenting this table is to meet, by comparison, the oft-repeated charge of extravagance brought against the School Department. It will be seen that for the first five years from 1850 to 1855, the ratio of the cost of schools to the other city expenditures, not including school houses, was 3310% ,86% per cent. From 1855 to 1860 it was 40186% per cent .; from 1860 to 1865, 43334% per cent .; from 1865 to 1870, 3718% per cent .; from 1870 to 1873, 19 58% Loo per cent. ; or going back five years, from
139
SCHOOLS .- SECRETARY'S REPORT.
1873 to 1868, the per cent. is 221%. These figures do not in- clude in any case the amounts expended for school houses, sewers or water, but simply ordinary expenses are compared with ordi- nary expenses.
If the cost of all school houses, sewers and water is included, the showing is still better. For the last five years from 1868 to 1872, both years inclusive, covering the time when so many large school houses were built, among them the new High School build- ing, the expenditure for schools and school houses was only 19 1% per cent. of the total city expenses. It must be remem- bered, also, in considering the statement where ordinary expen- ditures are compared with ordinary expenditures, that during the first fifteen years school houses were always completed and fur- nished, including heating apparatus, ready to be occupied before the keys were handed over to the school board; and this was always done by public dedicatory ceremony. For the last five years every school house has been furnished in full and finished besides, and the expense is included in the amount for the support of schools ; and still this large comparative reduction in the ex- penditures of the Department appears.
Is it not about time that our people, especially members of the City Council, stop talking about the extravagance of the School Board ?
