is contained in the message. II the
school funds warrant ii, L believe in
protecting the teachers. l believe not

Cost of Education.
In reference to the expense, per cap
tia, of educating children in Ell Paso,
Mr.. Krakauer stated the cost is $50 per
= child compared with S26, the next
highest per capita cost in any Texas
city.
1T is said that the cost of $50 per
capita is due to the high cost of living
that the teachers must pay in this city.
/ think that's all bosh. 1t doesn't cost
any more to live here than in Houston
and other cities. Do the students here
receive so percent better education?
They should.
