Four hundred tWenty-siX children OF
this total are between the ages of 7 and
IS years, 233 of which attend private
school, and 95 do not receive instruc-
ton in any school.
From the report Of school treasurer
l. E. Philleo for.the year ending March
Is, 1897, we find total disbursement
for salaries, fuel, repairs, library sup
plies and incidentals amounting to
81, 646 go, not including cost of new ward
school or grounds.
This means per capita outlay Of
$10.183 for the education of every child
in our city between ages of 4 and 20
during past year, or better an expense
of $3.50 for each pupil in actual at
tendance at the public schools.
IN CENTRALIA
Chas. Boles made the rounds of the
homes and listed an even 700 children
of school age, over 4and under 20 years;
353 males, 347 females. Of this total
there were found 1854 between ages 7
and IS, and of these 40 attended private
schools twelve weeks or more and II
did not attend any school.
From school treasurer's report for
year ending June 30th, the total ex
penditure was $7,750.43. Deduct from
total disbursement $1,994.34 paid on
building and repairs, Indebtedness and
interest, leaving $5,756.09 expended for
salaries, fuel, incidentals, etc. This
figuresan outlay of 1922 during lastyear
for each child of school age in Contra
liza, or an actual outlay of 500 for every
pupil that attended the public schools.
Grand Rapids employs more teachers
than Centralia and its instructors re-
ceive higher salaries. The above COM
putations may not be positively correct,
but they come very near to 1t.
