Per Capita Cost of High
School instruction
Exceeds $100
BURDEN ON DISTRICT
Figures Given Below Show
Distribution of Expenditures;
Suggest Changing Law

The total enrolment Of the high
school during the year has been 120.
The total cost of 81, 800 makes the
per capita cost of instruction $96.56,
providing all OF the 120 student at
tended during the entire year. The
average attendance for the year is
just about 110, however. This would
make the per capita cost of instruction
about sos, or $11.67 per month. OF
this amount the district is allowed by
the state law to collect tuition
charge Of $4 per month from the out
side districts from which high school
students attend. The total to be col
lected for this purpose this year win
be about 1890
The number of high school students
from outside districts this year is 90,
1t is therefore reasonable to say that
five-twelfths of the total expense Of
conducting the high school should be
chargeable to the county outside of
brunReNllle. his WOuiu De JOLhl OF
more than $4S00. Considering the
fact that only $500 is collected In
tuitions this leaves burden of $500
on the Grangeyille School District
1t is strongly hoped that when the
legislature next meets it will make
provision for the equitable distribution
of this expense. Grangeville, on ac-
count of its location and standing in
the county cannot fail TO provide a
high school for the rest of the county,
but the law should be changed so that
those who are largely benefited by the
existence within their reach of full
ly accredited high school might be al
lowed to pay their share of its cost.
That the Grangeville district is
carrying heavy burden for the rest
of Idaho County in the matter of
school expenditures is apparent from
the following figures which show the
cost of high school instruction for the
present school year. The portion of
expenses which are rightly chargeable
to the high school are as follows;
