Will you tell us why the Alpine Dis trict is almost the nignest in the whole State. A Sabscrlber and Taxpayer The average cost of salaries la the elementary schools was .128.53 per student, while other operating ex pensea totaled 111.87 per student. In the high schools .the average expen dlture for teachers salaries wss $10 per pupil. Otheiwperstlhg expenses cost 14.67. .while7 administration ex pensea averaged 83.06 per pupil. The average expenditure for Interest In the various school districts waa $143 per pupil. Buildings and sites, bonds paid and similar expenses averaged 820.74 per student, while expend! tures for furniture averaged $1.69." The total average cost by school districts follows: Alpine,, 8110.98; Beaver, $99.78; Boxelder, $88.16; Cache, $88.30; Carbon.

An ExnUnntlon of The AIplM SekMl Costs - A recent comparative statistical -re- port aent out oy tno siatv uepan meat of Education glvea the fntora- atloa that Alptna District Is near the top ot the list, in costs per student In education. An explanation of this condition has been asked for from the local school office. In brief the following; summary states the facts: I am quoting from the official figures and not from the Press accounts, ai there are some minor' discrepancies tn the latter reports: The cost per school capita tn our District to $108.08. The state aver-age aver-age Is $80.00. It must be remembered remember-ed that w nave lust eomoleted an extenstte bnildlnkt progrim. 'antf-Jhe last yearthe year the state flgufea our budget carried a large- deficit load which Inflated the year s costs materially. The budget Item ot $98,- 260.00 was necessary to carry the-flx- ed costs pins the deficit on the esti mated building program. This Is 32 per cent ot all our costs for the last year, and Is an exceptional and abnormal ab-normal item, which win not appear In any subsequent budget A 4$ per cent reduction will be made la this Item In the next year's budget and thia amount will . materially decrease de-crease the total cost per student in the district Two conditions are peculiar pe-culiar to our district which account tor a larger normal average cost: . Flrstr the large bonded Indebtedness, Indebted-ness, which Is not an average condition con-dition in the state, yet It exists la several districts, some ot which run as high as $160.11 and $265.38 per student as compared with our $108.08 and aecondly, wo :.; are maintaining four high schools,' which condition Is not found In any other district In the 8tate, and which costs considerable consider-able additional money. Our per high school cost would be materially below the state average, but when the tour are considered naturally costs In oust ,. Our .elementary school costs are $21.36 'per student The state average aver-age la $26.90; Jordan Is $31.10; Nebo $21.90, Cache. $25.40; Granite, $34.64. Every like district In the state Is higher. . - The state average administrative costs .is $1U9. Our-dlstrtct Is but $5.70. And w are one of the large districts In the' State. All through the list we are near or below state averages except In the two Items above. The State average for High school Instruction per pupil Is $9.41 Our four school system costs us $13.-04. $13.-04. Th state average for bonds, sites, buildings. Interest etc Is $19.-56. $19.-56. and oars Is lil.15. Multiply the difference here by 4950 students and you have the explanation for the dif ference between a total stats cost of $80.00 and our coat of $108.08; and a great deal more. Assuming that our condition her In this Item was a state average, for all other school expenses oar , district Is ipttdbur $55.93, ; while the state average tor the -same Items Is $60.88. In other words, we are 8 Vt per cent under the average-for all coats, except the one due to .tmr bonded indebtedness. And this lower cost exists ia spite o$ our abnormal high school explained above. And further, our district Is not by any means an average district dis-trict We should be measured by the standards of the hslf dozen larger districts In the state. If this was done certainly, we would show sn economical and efficient condition.
