ates have multiplied 16-fold since
1900. It is estimated that from
1958 to 1971 the number of col
lege graduates (all degrees) will
more than double. There will also
be an estimated 2's million high

the number in the prewar year

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.
