Com missioner, in Reply to School
Board Statement, Contends Too
Much l. Paid for Education by
Compa rison of Students as Units.
Average Cost Elsewhere % Cents.

In reply to a report recently furnished
by the board OF education, regarding the
cost of education in Washington, Com
missioner Judson yesterday issued a
statement in which he showed that the
cost OF education in Washington averaged
IS cents per pupil a day, while the aver
age cost in thirteen other cities. whose
populations compare favorably with that
Of this city. is about . cents.
Commissioner Judson's reply in part
says:
In the first place. I admit that COM
parisons on a percentage basis are per-
fectIy proper if the comparisons are be-
tween costs of education within the Dis
trict of Columbia for different periods OF
time.
Comparison of Units.
The fairest comparisons that can be
made are between unit costs, il the units
be intelligently chosen.
The best unit for street paving is the
square yard. and the unit cost is the cost
per square yard.
The best unit ] can conceive of for
public education is ono days instruction
for one pupil, and the unit is the cost
per pupll-udy
IF we are paying s. per square yard
for asphalt paving here, while they ere
paying 81 per square yard in other
places where the conditions are similar
and the standard the same, the cost here
is excessive, no matter what percentage
of our total resources we are investing
in aphalt paving.
And if We are paying very much
more per pupil-day here than in other
communities, where the conditions and
standard are like our own. we are pay
ing excessively for education.
Figures Vary Somewhat.
"Comparisons of annual per capita
costs are almost as fair and significant
as costs per pupil-day, for the reason
that in all cities. naturally, there is n
practically fixed ratio between the total
population and the number OF pupils
But comparative per capita figures and
pupil-day figures will vary somewhat, be-
cause the ratio between population and
pupils under instruction is not exactly
the same everywhere, and because the
number of days instruction per year in
all cities is not the same"

Story Of a Dollar Bill.

Ten years ago a farmers put
his initials on a dollar bill. The
next day he went to the nearest
town and spent it with a merch-
ant. Before the year was out
he got the dollar back. Four
times in six years the dollar
came back to him for prodoce
and three times he heard of it
in the pocket of neighbors.
"The last time he got it back,
four years ago, he sent it to a
mail order house. He never has
seen that dollar since, and never
will. That dollar bill will never
pay any more school tax for him,
will never huild or brighten any
of the houses of the community.
He sent it entirely out of the cir.
