School Spending Here Tops Average
NEW YORK, Jan. 20 From a
purely financial viewpoint, more
is being done in Salem, Ore., to
educate its children than in the
average city of its size in t h e
nation. Expenditures per pupil lo
cally are found to be higher. -
The findings are based on sta
tistics just issued by the Govern
ment in its Biennial Survey of
Education in the United States.
The comparative data, which car
ries up to 1955, takes into account
the amounts devoted to instruc
tion, administration and mainten
ance. It covers 3,568 independent
public school systems throughout
the country.
In Salem, expenditures for full-
time primary and secondary
schools came to 12,497,000 in the
year. This was the amount spent
for teaching, supervision and
maintenance of school property.
It is exclusive of capital outlays.
Swiss Study
Plan Revealed
American graduate students will
have an opportunity to study in
Switzerland during 1957-58. accord
ing to an announcement from the
Institute of International Educa
tion in New York City.
The program has been made
available by Swiss universities and
societies and by the American-
Swiss Foundation for Scientific
Exchange, said Kenneth Holland,
institute president.
The Swiss American Student
Exchange has set up grants for
the program, the .grants having
been established in 1927 in appre
ciation of those given by Ameri
can colleges and universities.
In addition, a number of lead
ing Swiss universities will offer
tuition grants. Application for the
program is open to men and
women, preferably under 35.
Related to the children in aver
age daily attendance, this was
equivalent to $282.10 per pupil. It
was high in comparison with such
expenditures in the other cities of
its size. The average was $277.37
per pupil
It was. also, above the $276.52
per pupil that- was the average
among cities of all sizes in the
United States.
Alarm is being expressed in
many quarters over the status of
education in this country. The
fears take the form of: not enough
schools being built to provide for
the rising tide of children; too
few teachers, too poorly paid;
children not mastering the ABC's
any more; too much time spent
on trivialities: Russia is imperil
ling 'us by training more engineers
and scientists.
Financial Ability
That the nation has the financial
ability to handle the problem is
not seriously questioned. The na
tion, it is pointed out, spends mora
for new cars each year and nearly
as much for alcoholic beverage!
as for education. ; ,
Another matter taken up in the
Kllrvpv ivn that n( taa.h tK
ficiency or insufficiency. The count '
showed the average ratio for all
city school systems, based on
pupil attendance, to be 24 pupils
for every teacher. In Salem it waa
also 24.

CaptuLfy in '56 I
Just one year aJ&Tin annoBficihg thati
the country's steel companies were
speeding: up increases in their steelmak
ing capacity, I said that 'during: the next
three yfars they plan to build 15 million,
tons of new capacity." The estimated
-cost was $3 billion.
Now, 12 months later, I am able to re-
port that these company programs of
expansion are moving ahead on schedule.
With the addition of 5 million tons of
new capacity in 1956 America now is
equipped to produce 133.5 million tons
of steel annually.
That is more than 40 per cent of the
total for the whole world.
WS S. Y1'.J1; 1 0 1' 71 AM
Steel Gauge Nation' $ Strength
There is a measure of comfort for all
of us Americans in that fact, since
steel is one of the important yardsticks
of national strength. No other country
can approach our production of this
basic metal.
Russia has the next largest capacity
but this is only about one third of the
American total.
The need for accelerated expansion is
even more apparent now than one year
ago. Many new and pressing require
ments for steel have emerged since my
report of last January.
Suez; brought into bold relief the
urgent need for a larger fleet, of tankers.
Roadbuilders broke ground on the $33
billion interstate superhighway system.
Our country's school building program,
is being speeded up.
Defense Cannot Be Neglected
And the national defense program in
these times of world tension requires
many, new types of steel.
Meanwhile, the normal demand for
steel continues to grow with the risejnj
population and in living standards.
In 25 years the country's population
has increased by 36 per cent and the
per capita use of steel in America in that
period has gone up from 469 pounds to
1,390 pounds, or 196 per cent.
Keeping abreast of all these added
needs for steel in our country is the job
and responsibility of the steel companiesu
Yet every American has a stake in that
job because without enough steel in the
years ahead the nation could not main
tain its world position.
But if the steel companies are to main
tain the current pace, let alone to accel
erate it, all of us should be aware of the
difficult hurdles they have to clear in
achieving this goal.
Fosf Capital Mutt Be Raised
The biggest hurdle of all is that of
raising the capital funds to build their
new plants and facilities. That calls for
profits sufficiently attractive to hold the
confidence of investors and lenders.
Unfortunately, many companies in
steel and other industries arc suffering
from a malady known as "phantom
profits" figures which must be reported
as profits subject to taxes but are really
costs of doing business.
' This comes about because our Federal
Tax Laws make no allowance for the
effects of inflation. Under these laws an
Industrial company is allowed, in theory,
to save up enough money over the life
of a piece of equipment to replace it
when it wears out.
But the catch is that the company is
allowed to recover only the original cost
of that piece of equipment, whereas the
actual cost of replacing it may be three
or fourtimcsas much, becauseof inflation.
Thus, the amount recovered through,
"depreciation" under the present tax
laws is not nearly enough to pay for re
placing the worL-out equipment. Conse
quently American industry must use a
substantial part of its so-called profits
just to replace its facilities asjtheyjtvearj
out just to stand still.
Conttant Supply If Essential
This seriously impairs industry's abiH
ity to expand as rapidly as it should in
the national interest. That is especially
true in the steel industry because stecl-i
making equipment is enormously costly
and has an unusually low rate of
depreciation.
But with continued undcrstandingand
support of the American public, this
nation's many individual steel companies
will surely succeed in the effort to keep
steel always available for the thousands
of purposes it serves. America and steel
must grow together.
