EDUCATION COST RISING RAPIDLY, REPORTSHOWS Expenditures of Nation Increase 250 Per Cent in >5 Years. ' “Education is absorbing the greatest income and growing at a more rapid rate than any other social agency,” according to a recent report of Leo Wolman of the National Bureau of Economic Research. The educational program in this country and expenditures are indicated irf the report. Gross expenditures for education are estimated to have increased from three-quarters of a billion dollars in 1914 to two and threequarters billions in 1926. Almost half of this increase went for free elementary schools. Expenses Go Soaring While expenses are mounting, education needs are keeping pace, the report said. There are 17 per cent more children enrolled in elementary schools today than thirteen 'years ago. Standards in equipment, buildings and grounds have risen to high levels. The annual capital outlay per pupil, for buildings and facilities was $7 in 1918. It was $21.86 in 1925 and $20.47 in 1926. Per capita expenditures in public elementary schools in 1926 was $61.31; in public schools, $195.74 and in universities and colleges $423. Total expenditures for education in this country during the last fifteen years have increased approximately 250 per cent, the report said. Costs of college and university education in the last decade have increased tenfold, from $68,911,000 In 1914 to $697,912,000 in 1926, while enrollment in high schools gained 200 per cent in the same period.
