COST PER PUPIL
IN SCHOOL HERE
sos ANNUALLY
Average Over State is S169,
According to Report of
Supt. Murray
Bluffton Stands Ninth from Top
of SO Exempted Village
Districts

1t cost $208.9S to educate each
Bluffton boy and girl in public
schools of the town last year, $39.94
more per pupil than the average in
exempted village school districts
throughout the state.
In Ohio's exempted village schools
the average cost per pupil was
$1,000, but Bluffton's greater cost
of operation is another evidence of
the continuing decline in school en-
rollment here, Supt. Aaron B. Muir
ray said in commenting on the COM
parative figures released by the Bu-
reau of Educational research of Ohio
State university.
With Buttons enrolment moving
steadily lower for more than a dec
ade, the cost of per-pupil education
has increased in the same ratio, for
many fixed expenditures such as
maintenance of buildings, ETC., re-
main unchanged. Individual classes
also have become smaller, particul-
arly in high school, resulting in a
greater teacher cost per pupil, the
superintendent pointed out.
BLUFFToN NINTH
Among the states 80 exempted vii
lage districts, Buttons per pupil
cost of education is ninth from the
top, according to figures released by
the bureau.
Nearby Ada, in 59th place, has a
per-pupil cost of only $153.98, in
comparison with Buttons s208.9s
figure. Ada's school population, how
ever, is nearly so per cent greater
than Buttons, for the Hardin coun-
ty school had an average daily en-
rollment of 705 pupils, while that for
Bluffton was only 502.
The instruction cost per pupil fig
ures cited were for total operating
expense and did not include debt re-
tirement and interest, the report
shows. In addition to the cost of
education figure, Bluffton also spent
per pupil $17.33 for bond retirement
and S1.90 interest, making a grand
total cost per pupil of $228.21 for
the year. Ada's total including bond
retirement and interest was $175.45.
ENROLMENT AT Low EBB
Although an exempted village dis
triet, Bluffton is topped in high
school enrolment by four schools in
the Allen county system: Elida, La
fayette, Shawnee and spencerville.
