Some valuable data on the cost OF

ner that shows comparison Of the
costs of maintenance in the largest
Iowa . towns. Superintendent Bost.
wick's figures az given by the Clinton
Herald are as follows:
At the meeting of the school board
on Monday evening, Superintendent
O. P. Bostwick Of the Clinton city
schools submitted the following re-
port:
I herewith submit for your infor.
nation and consideration the follow
ing report concerning the cost Of
maintaining schools, including other
data Of interest for the leading
cities Of Iowa. There is a wide
spread interest In Clinton and IN
other cities on this matter, and at
the suggestion Of some of tho mem
bers of the board have collected
and tabulated the following data
winch Will DC B0ut 10 I'LL JuS UCAOJlS
having furnished statistics, and the
results will doubtless be published
in the local papers throughout the
state.
In determining cost Of maintaining
schools for comparison the standard
unit of measure is the cost per pupil
based on average daily attendance.
The total cost is usually divided into
two items-the cost per pupil for
instruction and the cost per pupil for
material maintenance.
Keeping Funds.
The school laws OF Iowa provide
that accounts Of the district may be
kept in four funds---the teachers,
the contingent, the schoolhouse, and
the bond fund. The contingent fund
is intended to provide funds for the
material maintenance of the schools.
but school boards differ widely as to
fund from which the interest on
bonds and requirements are paid.
For instance-in reply to my ques-
tion-Would you pay for an entirely
new heating plant installed in an
old building from your contingent
fund or from your schoolhouse fund :?
Davenport answered they would pay

such an expenditure from the con.
tingent fund; Cedar Rapids answered
they would pay for an entirely new
heating plant installed in an old
building from their schoolhouse
fund; Marshalltown answered they
would pay for such replacement
from the fund that had the larger
balance when the order was drawn.
Cities differ 40 to the fund from
which interest on bonds is paid.
From reports of secretaries for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1912,
observe that Des Moines paid inter.
est on bonds from their schoolhouse
fund; that Davenport paid interest
on bonds from their bond fund; that
Mason CITY paid interest on bonds
from their bond fund and interest
on orders from their schoolhouee
and nom their contingent funds.
Thirteen Of the cities used in this
comparison made levies in 1912 for
q bond fund and kept a separate &C
count with this fund. Seventeen Of
these cities made levies for school,
house fund. Clinton made levy for
the contingent fund to cover all run
ming expenses, including interest on
bonds, and all expenditures for re-
pairs, requirements, improvements
and equipments. It is, therefore,
evident that QUESTIONABLE for the
purpose of collecting data as to the
cost OF maintaining schools must
clearly define each question, or re-
ports from the several cities will not
be on the same basis. Statistics that
are not computed on the same basis
are worse than valueless for COM
parison.

MARSHALL PROVED
HIS INNOCENCE

The explanation given the court at
Eddyville yesterday by Ira Marshall
was satisfactory, and the defendant
was given his liberty. Marshall was
arrested in Brighton on the charge Of
paying for board and lodging with a
check that proved worthless. It de-
velOped that the check had been writ
ten by another man and Marshall be-
lieyed 1t was negotiable.
