ST. PAUL,S SCHOOL OUESTTO

There is also a school question in st.
Paul, and there, as here, there isn't
money enough to do all that the educat-
ors think ought to be done. In order to
show that the school management in
St. Paul is not extravagant the Super
intendent of Schools has made a COM
parison of the cost of the schools in that
city with the cost in fourteen other cit
les of approximately the same size. On
the basis of the figures for average at
tendance, the cost per school year in
st. Paul is $220S per capita Only two
other cities show smaller per capita
Kansas City, where the school year is
only nine months long, and where the
cost is $2O,O7; and Milwaukee where the
salary account alone makes the per cap
tia $21.S7 Several cities average from
$24 to $2S, while the cost runs up to
$3.50 in Pittsburgh and to s4O.H in
Denver. The eastern cities have a much
