Education Is Big Business Education in the United States has become a major enterprise. From less than 215 million dol lars in 1900, expenditures for pub lic elementary and secondary ed ucation have risen to over 15 bil lion dollars. If we take into con sideration the cost of higher edu cation and the various private ed ucational institutions, the amount would be well over 20 billion dollars. The total amount to be spent during 1959-60 lor current ex pense, capital outlay, and inter est is estimated at $15,543,109,000. Current expenditure for public el ementary and secondary schools has increased 154.1 per cent since 1949-50. The expenditure per pupil in average daily attendance for 1959- 60 is estimated at $369, an in crease of $19 over last year. Eleven cents out of each tax dollar is now being expended for public schools. In the typical community in the U.S., more than half the mon ey to finance public schools comes from the locality. For a classroom of 25 pupils, it takes $200 per child to secure a $5.000-a-year teacher; $300 per child to secure a S7.500-a-ve.ir lloafhar- anrt tinO rwir ltil,f t.k secure a $IO,000-a-year teacher. But we are now providing an av erage of only $186 per child for teachers salaries.
