POLITICS ANDRED TAPE
HAMPER SCHOOL WORK
Nationwide Survey Reveals
Cause OF Conditions in Pub
lie Education.

New York, July 2S--Two prime
causes of the present ''deplorable" con-
dition of American public schools are
red tape and the handicapping of
Boards of Education by politicians,
according to a survey cf public school
boards and their receipts and expendi-
lures, directed by the National Conf
mittee for Chamber. of Commerce Co
operation With the Public Schools and
the American City Bureau made public
here today.
The survey which covered condi-
tons in 317 cities showed, il was said.
that in AZ per cent of cases where
. Boards of Education We're 'indepen-
dent or free from political manipula-
tion or control, that the most efficient
administrative and educational results
are obtained.
The best interests of the public
schools" says the report, cannot be
served in a city where the budget of
the Board of Education may be re-
dueed and remodelled by city officials
who have not made definite study of
the needs of the schools"
Boards whcih are really a sub-divi-
sion of the municipal government and
whose budget may be changed by mu-
nicipal authorities tre classified as
dependent and undesirable from the
standpoint of the public good.
IL is thus pointed out that in the
case of cities i'm New Jersey, the
budget must be passed upon by a
special Board of School Estimate; in
Oklahoma cities the school trustees
are dependent upon an Excise Board;
in Ohio cities, school budgets may be
reduced by a special county commits
sion: in New England, school budgets
must be submitted direct to a town
meeting 4and in many Western cities
the budget is determined by some
county authority.
The survey shows that the school
receipts in the S7Z cities for the past
fiscal year were 1858, ,260.o 900 and that
the expenditures of these same cities
during this period were about $4,000
600 less than income. The funds are
from five sources and are supplied in
tho following proportions: From the
states 1l.6 per cent; the federal gov
crnment o.3 per cent; the county 81
per cent; local taxes 65.4 per cent;
non-revenue or miscellaneous sources,
including income from sale of bonds
OF short time loans, 40 per cent. The
survey shows that of all cities report
ing, 20 per cent do lot -,eceive a dol
lar from the Federal government.
Teachers salaries greg | $780,
600 900 or 64 per cent of the total of
the current expense of the schools
