COST OF TUITION.

Comparing the cost OF tuition
and education in general in Ha-
waii with that of the United
States, Mr.. Townsend says il is
necessary to take into account the
difference in the length of the
school year, which for the
United States as whole is l40.5
days; for the Western Division,
142 days; for California, ia days,
and for Hawaii, 200. Thus it will
be seen that the cost of schooling
per day in the United States is l3
cents per pupil whereas in Ha-
waii 1t is only l0t cents, and in
the Western Division and Cali
fornis it is 19 and 18 cents res
pectively. These figures include
only the expenses of elementary
and secondary schools.

EXPENDITURES FOR SITES.

The expenditures for sites,
buildings, furniture, apparatus
and Libraries, vary greatly. Thus
in 1923 it was $l0.68 cents per
pupil for the Western Division
and S10.49 for California. The
same year it was S1999 in Utah
and 6 cents in South Carolina.
Yet the average for the United
States does not vary greatly. The
fact that the outlay in Hawaii
for these purposes is only As per
cent. that of the United States
suggests better accommodations
in many places and systematic
beginning in building up school
libraries.

ATTENDANCE.

The total enrolment in all
schools in the country on Decem-
ber 81, 1897, was l4,522, being
a gain of 1906, or a little more
than Is per cent. during the past
two years. That this gain is not
due simply to the increase of
school population is evinced by
the fact that the gain in attend.
ance during the first year was 1407
and during the second half
only 499. The census of Septem-
ber, 1886, showed the total number
of children Of school age to have
been l4,2S6. Three months after
ward there were actually enrolled
in the schools 1910 children of
school age, thus leaving 2l46 to be
accounted for. The number of
children of school age not attend
ing any school at the beginning
of the period was 3061. These
figures suggest to the Inspector
General that the gain in school at
tendance will be likely to bear a
much closer relationship to in
crease of school facilities than to
increase of school population.
A careful comparison of the
census figures with those gathered
at the end of 1896 leads to the
conclusion that an abnormally
large percentage of them are girls.
This is especially true of the
Portuguese. The disparity of the
sexes of those of this nationality
of school age according to the
census was only 81, whereas there
were 434 more boys than girls in
the schools. And this disparity
at the present time according to
the report is still greater, being
537. The total disparity, count
ing all nstionalities in all schools,
is now 1912; under the census it
was ll02.
The conclusions arrived at by
the Inspector-General in this re-
spect are that as the average
number of pupils for each teacher
in the public schools is now 35 it
is evident that an increase of
school facilities, as we'll as an in
crease in the efficiency with
which the compulsory education
law is enforced, will be necessary
to correct this evil.
