The Foundations educational measure

data showing the number OF children at
tending school, the amount OF training
they secure, the progress they make
the amounts expended for buildings and
supplies. the salaries paid their teachers,
and other similar items, and combining
these factors into a single index number
which shows the general standing or
efficiency of the school system. 1hle
method resembles that used by the Fed
eral government in indexing the cost OF
living and prices for commodities.
The foundation states that all the re-
suits are computed from data furnished
by the states themselves 10 the Federal
government and that the records hive
been compiled and combined by eXactly
the same methods for al the different
states and without admitting into the re-
suits any elements of personal judgment.

MONTANA SCHOOL
SYSTEM RATED FIRST
Sage Foundation Survey Places
Delaware 38th; Other South
crn States Lower.

New York. Nav 2j.--The State of
Montana has the best a.l-round public
school system in the United States,
according TO the results of comparative
study of State school systems Just made
public by the Russell Sage Founda-
ton The report assigns second place to
the schools of California, third place to
those of Arizona, fourth 90 New Jersey
and fifth TO the state of Washington,
These findings are contained in areport
bv the Department of Education of the
Foundation The volume Is entitled AN
Index Numhcr for State School Systems
and the author is DR. Leonard 7. Ayres,
director oi the Foundation 5 Department
of Education
Other findings Of the report arc that the
school system Of The United States rs u
whole has doubled in efficiency during the
last 50 wears, having an index number or
rating OF 26 in 1870 and one of 50 NJ the
present time Since these index numbers
are figured on the basis of 100, the school
system of the country has now an effective
ness or efficiency OF only 81 per cent, aC-
cording to the report.
The figures for the individual states
as given hy the foundation show that dur
ing the past 80 years the West has been
coming up cducationally white the East
has been gong down During Tins time
the greatest increase among all the states
has been made by Utah while tho state 30
which is attributed the greatest falling
of in relative standing is Maryland IN
the East tho only state that has gained
instead Of losing is New Jersey, In the
West the state that has the best and most
consistently high record is California.
Among the interesting results OF tho
study is the conclusion that the schoo
systems Of the United States territorial
possessions, such as Hawaii the Cana
Zone. and Porto Rico. have highcy rating
