COST OF EDUCATION
Public Schools of Country Spend
Average of $2S.25 a Pupil,
Nevada in the Lead.

The average yearly expenditure a
pupil in the public schools of this
country is given as s2S.25 i'm the re-
Gently published report of the COM
missioner of education. In 1870 it was
only S15.45.
Nevada has the highest yearly ex-
penditure, S72. .15 pupil, followed by
New York with s5l.5O, Montana
with $40. 40 and California with 1929.
In the south the expenditures pupil
range from $637 for South Carolina to
S20.36 for West Virginia. The new
state of Oklahoma spends S1579, New
Mexico S19.46, while Arizona with
s40.4l spends 1916 pupil year more
than Oklahoma and New Mexico COM
bined.
One-third of the states spend from
S25 to $40 pupil. The fact that one
fourth spend less than Sl5 and one
fourth spend more than s35 is an indi-
cation, says the commissioner, "of the
great variety in support of public ed
ucation, and, l believe, in the oppor-
tunity afforded for school training in
our various commonwealths. "
