Growth-gain and loss.-The total amount expended for common. schools in 1890-91 was $146,800,163, an increase in one year of over $7,000,000, or 5.30 per cent. This is more than double the annual rate of increase of the population, and indicates how fast the school expenditure has been gaining upon the population the past year. This is also shown in the expenditure per capita of population (Table 11). In 1889-90 the expenditure for common schools per capita of population was $2.24; in 1890-91 it had advanced to $2.31, reaching a much higher point than ever before. In 1879-80 it was only $1.56. It has thus increased 50 per cent in eleven years, while the actual gross expenditure has nearly doubled in the same period, having increased from $78,000,000 to $147,000,000. The States of the North Central Division expended for common schools in 1890-91 more than all the States of the Union did as late as 1869-70, so rapid has progress been in this particular. The greatest rate of gain during the past year has been made in the States of the Western Division (Table 12). In these States the total expenditure for schools increased over one-fifth (21.94 per cent), while the expenditure for schoolhouses, grounds, etc., increased over onethird (34.34 per cent). 1 |
