In almost all cases, the reports are extremely fayorable. One of the high spots is the high average daily attendance of 95.1 per cent as compared with 93.62 per, cent in 1929-30- . The state average in this department is only 87.3 per cent Superlnten dent , Petersen believes that t.us Is responsible for the low average of juvenile delinquents In the city. LOW COSTS ARE BIG FEATURE Another feature was the table of costs which shows that, despite the high average maintained by the Logan City schools, the per capita cost $57.52 as compared witfi $60.39 in 1929-3and a state average of $74.77. The city schools rank as fourth from the lowest in the state in per capita costs, according to the table. Speaking of the future, the report says, "Our problem certainly is to maintain our present high standards in the face of decreaswe ing revenue. To that end, are using every resource to decrease costs except the reduction of salaries. Even though living costs have decreased, teacher salaries are still below other wage standards and should lot be lowered. We are, therefore, endeavorl-- g to searen out every economy existent in our system to try and porate on a lower budget." Closing, the superintendent gives credit for the successful functioning of the schools to the extreme cooperation which has been practiced. finances ,make it Depressed very difficult to hold up the highest standards, the superintendent says: However, this condition lias been greatly alleviated through the close coordination of all departments In the system and the splndid cooperation of the entire personnel of our schools.
