Last year school revenue derived from state and local sources was equal to 5.45 per cent of Utahs personal income. By comparison, the U.S. average was 3.68 per cent and the Mountain States average was 4.46 per cent. The report points out that definancial effort spite the made to support public education in Utah, the amount of money great Thursday, March 29, 1962 available per student is somewhat below national and regional averages. This is due to the extremely large number of children to be educated in Utah. Foundation analysts observe, however, that because of differences in organizational efficiency, population concentration, geographic characteristics, as well as other factors, per pupil costs are not a reliable index of the quality of education in the respective states and districts. Utah, for example, generally has been able to spend the available funds more effectively than most other states because of its more efficient school organization setup. Although there has been a decided trend across the nation to improve the efficiency of local school organizations during recent years, the report notes that most states still do not approach Utah in efficiency of organization. Only four states, for example, have fewer school districts than Utah. The average number of pupils per school district in Utah is more than six times as great as the average for the na tion. Moreover, the percentage of inefficient, high-cos- t, schools in Utah is less than one-fif- th the national average. The report states that despite in specific some shortcomings the over-a- ll perforprograms, mance of Utah education has been rated excellent, and the state has acquired a national reputation for academic achievement. The Foundation attributes this high national rating largely to the traditional zeal of the citizenry for education and the efficiency of the school organization. one-teach- er 'ESP Some names are almost as familiar as your own.
