MAKES ANALYSIS
OF SCHOOL COSTS

To Local Situation
In Birmingham

Education In 1913 Cost
S467,SS5, Jumping To
$1,558,443 In 1923

Reasons for the increased school costs
over a period of 10 years is set forth
wildly in figures made public by the
board of education Saturday. These
figures are based upon problem worked
out by the National Educational asso-
citation and applied to Birmingham by
the school research department.
The problem explains where the in
creased educational costs lie, bringing
out the reasons: Rapid increase in
school attendance" decreased buying
power of the dollar" and gain in cost
of high school education, new build
ings. etc
System Applied
Applied to the Birmingham school
system the board of education gives the
following analysis:
1. Cost of education in elementary
and high schools
1913 .....,..........9 40 900
1928 ................. l,ooo,44o
Increase of 233 per cent,
or ............... 81 900. 558
2. Average daily attendance in ele-
mentary and high schools:
1913 Observation-Disclosures. l.lLo
1923 .....................31,57S
Increase of III per cent, or 1892
increase in United States was 400
per cent?
g. Increase in cost of education due
to increased attendance was III per
cent of S467, 1855, or $685., 547. (For
United States increase was 400 per
cent or $521, 456, 000-1913 COST
4. Increased cost of education due to
loss in value of dollar:
In 1913 81 would buy what $1.I3
would buy in 1923.
Increase over 1913 costs to offset the
depreciation of the dollar (73 per cent?,
$341, $50.
Attendance Costs
5. Increased cost of education due to
increased attendance and depreciation
of dollar. sos, 103.
6. Increased cost of education due to
other factors tamong which are the
larger enrolment at high schools and
improvements in the school systeml,
81 900, 55S-705, 103 or 1885,, 455.
Z Attendance in high schools has in
creased from LII in 1913 to 5,15S in
1923, gain of 3,447, or 201.5 per
cent; while in elementary schools it
has increased from 1905 to 26,420, or
CAS- per cent. With the cost of high
school education in 1923 at $3.50 over
$56.OT in 1913, and in elementary
schools $500 against $23.15 ten years
ago. it can readily be seen that the in
creased cost in high school education,
with a gain in attendance so much
larger than that in elementary schools,
accounts for a large portion of this

For, as he passed her, as for an in
slant she had seen his refined face,
had caught a glimpse of his honest gray
eyes. she had felt again the conviction
that here was the sort of man to her
mother used to term "a Christian gen.
tleman." And he belonged to a diff
ferent world from hers.
Not to a different world from that
in which she had lived until her fathers
illness. Had she known Parker a few
months ago she could have welcomed
him to her home, could have received
him as an equal. He would have rec
ognized in her a woman of the same
type as the mother of whom he spoke
with such respect.
Now he would have to know her as
a dancing girl
Would he ever try to renew his ac-
quaintance with her? Would he, by
any chance, endeavor to speak to her
this evening?
Did she want him to?
She shrank from meeting him again
now that he probably knew that the
miss White with whom he had
talked and the cabaret "Columbine'
were one and the same woman. Yet,
as she looked into her own heart she
had to confess that she would be dis

without giving her the opportunity to
talk with him-to exchange greetings
with him.
She was unreasonable. She admitted
that. She could avoid speaking to any
of the patrons at DeLisles. In fact,
she always did avoid them. Once or
twice she had nodded and smiled to
George Dixon. But DeLisle made it
possible for her to go into a retiring
room as soon as a performance ended.
A word from her would make him
deny her to anyone asking to speak to
her. She knew that he had already re-
