The cost Of instruction in the colleges and
universities Of the country Is only Of interest IN
this connection, as furnishing standard by
which to estimate the relative expensiveness Of
instruction in our free academy, and we fancy
that all who examine this branch Of the COM
mittec's report will be satisfied that in point Of
economy the free academy is by far the cheapest
educational institution OF its grade in the United
States.
Ia the fifty five colleges from which the COM
mittee procured returns, the average cost OF the
one hundred and thirty students now attending
the free academy, for tuition alone, Is only
$38 "a, or less than two-hfths of the average
per scholar in the colleges. The COMMITTEES
adds, that if the number Of pupils were in
creased to 600, which it will probably reach in
the course Of the next year, and extend also the
current expenses to the limit Of the statute,
say $4,000 the cost per pupil would average
only $42 All including books, stationery, and
incidentaIs; or, deducting the cost of books,
stationery, &c, only fourth Of the cost of col
legiate tuition.
We must postpone any farther notice Of this
admirable report for the present, but we shall
avail ourselves of an early opportunity to
speak of many of its other interesting features,
to which we have not glanced, and also to
notice the very admirable report of the board of
education, Of which this document is part.
