Cost of New York City's schools.

Cost of New York City's Schools.
New York City, as BELTS the coun-
trys metropolis, spends royalty for
schools. In 1895, one of its banner
years" the expenditure for education
came to more than a quarter of the
entire cost of the municipal admins
tration. and from 1899 to 1903 the ex-
penditure for purchasing sites and
erecting new schools alone came to
over thirty millions of dollars.
AS II is in New York, so 1t is, more
or less, in all the large cities of the
country. The cost of the children's
education goes up by leaps and bounds
every year. The dying generation,
who learned the fear of the Lord and
the three RS" in the little red school,
house on the hill, are amazed when
their grandchildren talk about their
public school lessons in physiology,
hygiene, civil government, ethics,
music, foreign languages and other
advanced subjects. The grea test ten
dency towards these studies is shown
in Massachusetts and New York,
while Pennsylvania and some other
states still cling fondly to the three
Rs and give the bulk of the school
time to them.

The Schools of the West.

The excellent public school systems
of the Western States have won the
admiration OF all foreign experts, even
the hypercritical German education
lists. In a great measure they owe
their existence to a wise and far-see-
ing provision of the Federal land ten =
ure system. When the western terri
tory was acquired by the nation the
title to the soil came with 1t, of
course. Whenever the Senate admitted
a new state into the Union it was
always made a condition that United
States lands should never be taxed by
that state. But 1t would be manifest
ly unjust to the state to exempt from
taxation large areas of unsold public
lands within its borders. unless some
compensation was given. This COM
pensation takes the form of the reser-
walton to the state of the land in one
township out of thirty-six for educa-
tional purposes only, and all the pub
lie school systems of the Western
states have been founded on this
provision.
We have seen. how the common
schools grew up, North, South and
West, until they now cover every
nook and corner of the Union, and are
the most distinctively American of all

Democracy the Keynote in schools.
Democracy is the keynote in the
mana cement of the schools; they are
run by the people for the people An
English educational expert summed up
the position accurately when he said:
The people of the United States came
long ago to the conclusion that il is
cheaper to pay more for schools and
less for jails and poorhouses Public
intelligence has accepted the fact that
education is the best investment for
the community, and therefore the edu-
cation taxes are paid cheerfuly."
There has been a remarkab BILE advance
all along the line since the days when
our father and grandfathers were
birched in the little red schoolhouse on
the hill. In 1870, 6.S7l,592 children
were educated in the public schools az
total cost of s63, 1896, sos In 1902
there were l5.s25,ss7 youngsters on the
books, and they cost Uncle Sam $685.
20S,465, 1t will be seen that the cost
out of proportion to the increase in the
number of children. All over the United
States teachers complain, usually with
justice, that they are underpaid, but
they are much better paid than they
used to be. In 1870 200,5l5 teachers
divided between them $s7, 1852, SOS. They
were not even passing rich on forty
pounds a year." like Goldsmith's pious
parson, for their average annual in
come was only $lSS67. In 1902, 4Se. 596
teachers shared $3.50, 0lS.734 which gave
them $S41.2S apiece on an average. A
small income, truly, in these expensive
days. The inadequate salaries paid to
the teachers is still the principal OBJ
lection made to the American school
system by foreign erities-it always has
