SURVEY IS MADE
! OF SCHOOL COSTS
Raleigh, Dei'. 15. ? Why did public
schools in North Carolina cost live
times as much in 1929-30 as they did
in 1914-416, or 85,449,643 as compar
ed with $28,616,603? This is a ques
tion the taxpayers are asking and one
that the North Carolina Education
Association has gathered official
figures to answer. This item deals
with the factors over which the school
people have no control; one inter will
give those relating to improved j
standards and opportunities for the |
school children. I
Thd three major factors in this 1
increase are increased attendance, in- j
crease in length of term and de
creased purchasing power of money.
Between 1914-15 and 1929-30, the
pupils m pti!>!ic schools in the State
increased from 410,140 to 691.995,
an increase of 40 per cent. When
translated into money, this the cost
of teaching the additional 40 per cent
of) students, on the 1911-15 basis,
would add $2,179,856 to the cost.
In the same period, the length of
school term increased from an aver- j
a|ge 125 days to 156.6 days a year, !
or 19 per cunt. The increased cost J
for the additional length of term, on j
the 1914-ilS basis, plus increased at- j
tendance, would be $1 ,419,004.
During this interval the purchas- 1
ing power of the dollar varied, but j
the dollar at the first date was worth j
onlv 63 cents, or 37 cents less, in I
1929-30, which translated into the j
purchasing power of the dollar lor i
the latter date would mean that
310,558,143 must be charged to de
preciation in money.
The total of thee items gives $14.
187,603 increase, which, added to the
1914-15 cost of schools. $5,449,643,
brings the cost of the 1929-30 schools, i
on the 3 91 4-15 basis, to $19,637,246. I
which is only $8,979,357 short of the I
cost of public schools in the State in j
the year and on the 1929-30 basis. I
This $8,979,357 difference is readi- I
ly accounted for in the increase of :
more than 600 per cent in tvimber of ;
pupils in high school, where the cost j
is two and one-half times the el-3- j
mentary school cost; the enlargement j
of the high school curriculum; the
transportation of more pupils than
any other state and at a cost of less
than half the national average; in
crease in salaries of teachers, based
on experience and training, and other
items.
Because of low prices, Anson coun- 1
ty growers withheld their turkeys
from the Thanksgiving market and
are conditioning them for the Christ
mas demand.
