CITY SCHOOLS
keep COST AT
U. S. AVERAGE
Public Library Maintenance
Is Included in Per
Capita Figures.

Indianapolis schools compare ia
yorably with the national average
IN per capita maintenance cost by
figures compiled by the Department
OF Commerce, Murray A. Dalman,
school director of research, said to-
day.
While the per capita cost of In
dianapoliS schools is $1492 and the
national average of $50 cities of
more than 10000 population is only
@14.31, the Indianapolis figure in
cludes cost of the public library,
which is not included in most other
cities.
In addition, Dalman said, the
average 7Is1rc % based on cities in
all sections, including southern
cities having little or no expense
for fuel, an important item.
Average National Average
Indianapolis, in 1927, spent 1910
per cent of the total city payments
on it's schools, the national average
being 81 per cent, according to Dali
mans figures. In 1925 Indianapolis
schools spent 3840 per cent.
In these figures also, Dalman
said, deductions must be made be-
cause of the library expenditures
being joined with those of schools
here.
Figures compiled by Dalman on
per capita cost of pupils show that
while the per pupil cost in the
grades steadily has risen, the high
school cost has decreased as stead
lily
The cost of educating each pupil
in the grade schools in the school
year 1926-1927 was $88. In 1926
1926. it was 97.36, and in 1924-1925
1t was only 1921.
For high school pupils, the per
capita in 1926-1927 was $151.02. The
preceding year it was $153.37 and
in 1924-1925 it was $15884.

They include such items as sal
aries of instructors, supervisors,
superintendent and janitors, fuel,
light laboratory supplies, but under
the heading valuation of school
plant, which includes cost of main
tanning and constructing buildings,
a fiat figure of SIS is listed.
This is the figure used as an aver
age over the State, it was explained,
because of the difficulty of arriving
at the exact figure.
To include actual expenditures for
new buildings in one year would not
produce true figure, Dalman said.

ton is paying off bonded indebted
