CITY SCHOOLS KEEP COST AT i U. S. AVERAGE Public Library Maintenance Is Included in Per Capita Figures. Indianapolis schools compare favorably 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*lay. While the per capita cost of Indianapolis schools is $14.92 and the national average of 250 cities of xnore than 30,000 population is only $14.31, the Indianapolis figure includes cost of the public library, which is not included in most other cities. In addition, Dalman said, the average ngurc la 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 38.10 per cent of the total city payments on its schools, the national average being 37 per cent, according to Dalman’s figures. In 1925 Indianapolis schools spent 38.40 per cent. In these figures also, Dalman said, deductions must be made because 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 steadily. The cost of educating each pupil In the grade schools in the school year 1926-1927 was SBB. In 19251926, it was 97.36, and in 1924-1925 it was only $82.81. For high school pupils, the per capita in 1926-1927 was $151.02. Tire preceding year it was $153.37 and in 1924-1925 it was $158,84. \ Include Many Items These figures are the ones used by the schools in charging for pupils

transferred to school here from other school corporations. They include such items as salaries of instructors, supervisors, superintendents and janitors, fuel, light laboratory supplips, but under the heading valuation of school plant, which includes cost of maintaining and constructing buildings, a flat figure of sls is listed. This is the figure used as an average 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 a true figure, Dalman said, because each year the city, in addition is paying off bonded indebtedness incurred in past year.
