The Taxpayers Association III the
number of rs publication, THE
New MEXICO Tax Review" will pre-
sent d detailed study of school costs
and an analysis Of the elements Of
costs.
This study SO far d it relates to Ri
schools is summarized In the fol-
table:
El Nuevo mexicano., 1916-01-27

intendents to the state superintend-
emit for the year ending June 30,
1915, do not lend themselves with alb.
solute accuracy TO this elimination
However, the figures used have been
compiled by s~ubtracting from the to-
tai expenditures all expenditures for
repairs; improvements, new build
ings, grounds, furniture. interest and
payments Of bonds" All other items
have been used.
For the purpuse or securing a unit
of cost the total number of days at
tended BY pupils has been taken. The
resulting unit is the cost Of educating
one pupil one day.
Another possible unit would be the
cost Of educating one pupil one school
year. but this is Objectionable be-
cause the school year differs in
length. The average daily attendance
has therefore not been used rs a
basis for the unit cost
For further comparison the unit OF
instruction, that is the amount paid
for teachers wages has been used as
we'll as all the cost of current school
operation. The above computation
for rural schools for each county Is
comparable in that it covers the same
items Of expense. 1t is comparable
also since the divisor used to secure
the unit Of cost automatically takes
account of differences in the length Of
the school term.
The only explanation consistent
with public interest OF the wide DIFF
ferences ID the unit costs In the pre-
ceding table Is that the quality Of
service rendered is better III some
counties than III others. The pur.
pose Of this preliminary statement is
merely to call attention to the wide
differences which exist. The fun ar
.tlcIe In the Tax Review viii discuss
how far this explanation applies,
Teachers wages constitute S2A per
cent 81 the total expenditures for the
maintenance of schools in rural dis.
tricls. Teachers wages are apprnxi-
matoly the same whether the rural
teacher instructs five or fifty pupils
daily. The proper placing Of schools
Iso that the teacher Will instruct the
maximum possible number OF chill.
|dren Is therefore the most important
work that can BE done in saving the
public money, and at the same time
getting adequate school service.
IN the foregoing table the average
costs for Instruction per pupil each
day ranges from eight cents Ia Taos
and Santa Re to 81 cents in Eddy, rs
cents in Luna and 20 N Union. If
the Union county schools were run on
rs little unit cost as Santa Fe The to-
tai fdr teachers wages instead Of be.
ing $28.6tt would be less than $500.
If teachers wages III Union cost no
more than In Valencia. San Miguel.

result in less adequate school faeii
ties. but the vide differences shown
seem 20 MITIGATE that either SOME

what they gife their children or btherf|

IN this connection the report OF the
El Nuevo mexicano., 1916-01-27

stated that AS New Mexico has 4
statute which permits a convict being
sued while In prison, It ii but natural
that such a convict should hot be de-
pfived Of his right to bring i suit.
But IN the present case, he pointed
out, Musgrave did not take advantage
Of his right to bring the suit within
three years of the time Oh the Ill
nictlon of his alleged Injuries.
1t was readily seen, during the ar.
guhients Of Mr.. Edwards and Of Mr..
Clancy that the great question III
v0lyed was the meaning Of the two
words legal disability" appearing
Id the New Mexico statute. Nowhere
III the Statutes of New Mexico Il the
Fneaning Of these two words defined,
but IL other states the words are de-
fined.

sin which State has a statdte similar
to the New Mexico statute PERMITTING

It should not be overlooked, says
Mr.. Westerfsia, that this movement.
besides helping The game, is bound to
cement good relations among tie dif-
ferent cities Of New Mexico and the
regions which they represent. These
associations, he says, now exist at
Silver City, Taos. Magdaiena, Santa

with q good deal Of pride to ths Fact
thai after several months of active
relationa not a single dispute or dis.
agreement has arisen among them.
Few statewide movements can, in hih
opinion, show such a good record.
