COST IF GLENDALE } SCHOOLS COMPARED : WITH OTHER CITIES

Z, GLENDALE, March 10-There have been a great many inquiries and even complaints as to the cost of the Glendale schools. Most of us are like the Jew whose little boy was sent home one day from mechanical Craving class with instructions from his teacher not to return until he had purchased a box of thumb tacks. He aecosted his father thusly: Father, I want a nickel for thumb tacks." The worthy descendant of Abraham threw up his hands in holy horror and cried: sNy son, my son, what will it be next? First it is war tax, then it Is Income tax and now 1t is thumb tacks. Sly, how l wish for the single tax"
 Let us first briefly consider the in- debtedness of the district on our build Tg fund. The present plant, consisting of 24 acres of land, 26 brick or tile succeed units. the auditorium and ad- yninistration building, the domestic science building, the old manual train Ing building, recently destroyed by fire, and the best heating plant in this section of the state. cost in round fig ures $120,000. This gives us an &C., commodation for more than 1000 pu- pills. If any one of you can find a school under one roof possessing "A acres of land in. the center of a com munity like Glendale in which said
 
 &ss than twice that expense, then sfiall say no more concerning the econ orny of that single unit system. To il- hstrate, consider the Wentworth school in Phoenix which has If rooms and an auditorium which will accom- Inodate about 500, and in addition its halls. toilets and stairs. it cost in the neighborhood of S225,000. This fig ln'es out a little bit better than s16,000 for classrooms. Cur ten classrooms efsected at the same time the KeniI- Worth building was being erected, cost us a little better than s300o per class room.
 To be sure the Wentworth build ing, being built of pressed brick, etc. is much more permanently constructed than our single units are, but I ven- ture to say that very few of us will live ID see any single one of our units oasimble in decay.
 The cost per classroom of the new Washington school being erected at the present time is little better than $45o00 per room. while the eight units &rng up on the grammar school &sounds at the present time cost a little less than s3,000 per room.
 The comparison of the cost of the single unit plan of building could very favorably be carried to a great extent. Let us pass on now to the cost of rpaintenance of the school system for the last two years As shown on page 42 of the report of the uperintendent of public instruction for the years of 1918. 1919 and 1919 and 1920, a very formidable refutation of the high cost of maintenance of the Glendale schools i$ found For the year 191S-1919 the average cost per pupil of Maricopa coi-nty was s53.1s. The average cost per pupil in the Glendale grammar schools was s65.34. In the year 1s1s- 1920 the average cost per pupil in Maricopa county was $64.s7. The av- efage cost in the Glendale grammar schools was S62.90 or s1.77 per pupil lower than the average. In that same report we find the costs of mainte- nzince of the following schools, 1919-

The above table will seem to indi- cate that the cost of the Glendale schools per capita is not so great as some of the uniformed would want yplf to believe.
 Perhaps the following will make you feel just a little bit better also. The per capita cost of maintenance for 1a19-1920 in Bisbee was S1022O: Globe. $101.35; Cottonwood, S11S.S7; Jerome. s105.56; Humboldt s103.2S. Please ad : just your speetacles); Ato, s1s524; Flagstaff, s135.67.
