HODENKIELD AP Education Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Th nation's public elementary and secondary schools will spend an estimated total of $16,476,133,000 this school year more than $91 for every man, woman and child in the United States. Reporting this today, the Na tional Education Association said it represents an increase of $1.2 billion, or eight per cent, over lasl year, and 153 per cent over the $6.5 billion of just 10 years ago. The total includes almost $13 billion in current expenses, slight ly over $3 billion in capital out lay for. new buildings etc., and almost half a billion in interest charges. The NEA also reported current enrollment in the public schools has reached 37,244.284, including 25,265.620 pupils in 'elementary tchool and 11,978,664 in secondary echool, a one-year over-all in crease of 1,206,347. Elementary school enrollment this year is 3 per cent higher than last year and 33 per cent higher than 10 years ago. Secondary en rollment is up 4.2 per cent over last year and a whopping 76.6 per cent higher than the 1950-51 fig ure. The figures were reported by the NEA's research division in a 32-page booklet, "Estimates of School Statistics, 1960-61." Other bighlights from the report: The average daily attendance in the public schools is 33,188,161. For each pupil in' average daily attendance the schools will spend 1390. There are 1,408,982 classroom teachers; their average annual salary is $5,125 compared with $4, 495 the previous year; one out of every 15 is an "emergency" teacher who lacks full credentials: and during the present school year 126.665 teachers will leave the public schools. .Total revenue receipts of the schools excluding nearly $3 bil lion from the sale of bonds will be $14,778,972,000. Of the total, 56.3 per cent will come from local sources, 40:1 per cent from state sources, and 3.6 per cent from the federal government. The number of school districts has been cut to a modern low of 37,153, less than half the number in existence 11 years ago. Sam M. Lambert, director of the NEA's research division, said to tal expenditures will increase by at least $1 billion per year during the 60s. "The American public will spend more on its public schools in the next decade than it has in the past 125 years," Lambert said. ' Lambert also said that while the average teacher's salary passed $5,000 this year for Ihe first time, it is still far below what a pro fessional should be paid. "The average teacher," he said, "is 41 years old, has had 14 years cT teaching experience, and has had 44 years of college prepara tion. In no other professional field will you find people of this age, with this experience and prcpara . tion, making such a low salary." ,'The $390 expenditure for pupils hi average daily attendance is a national average, representing an increase of almost 5 per cent over the 1959-60 figure of $372 and 74 per cent over the $224.23 of years ago. The figures for the NEW OFFICERS of Ponderon Lodge,-No. 220,' AF & AM for I960 were installed Dee. 9 in the lodge's fourth annual installation ceremony.

The report also points out that in the past 10 years, many states have increased their requirements for full certification. Many of those who would have been fully Qualified a few years ago now qualify only for provisional cer tificates. .
