School Finances 91 (a) Total number of pupils enrolled (b) Total expenditures of the school (r,) Outlays (d) Expenditures for all current purposes (subtract (c) from (b) (e) Per capita cost (divide (d) by (a) ) The unit cost of overhead (operation, maintenance, control, and mis-cellaneous) of a school is found by dividing the cost of these four items bythe total number of pupils enrolled. The cost of instruction per pupilis obtained by dividing total teaching salaries by total number of the overhead and cost of instruction per pupil in the local schools. Now take the enrollment by grades and salaries of teachers by the teaching expense per pupil in each of the various you come to the high school, it will not be possible to separate by WHERE DOES OUR DOLLAR GO?.

The method of doing this is asfollows: Suppose that a history teacher teaches 5 classes a day and receives$ salary for the year. Each class which she teaches would cost one-fifth of $, or $ Suppose that there are 20 pupils in her cost of teaching each one of these pupils this subject for a school yearwould be one-twentieth of $ or $ A computation of the com-parative costs of high school subjects will be found valuable.
