On Schools
By G. K. 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

$585 in New York and Alaska and
$512 in New Jersey to $217 in Ala
bama, $223 in South Carolina and
$225.86 in Mississippi. In all, sev
en states are below the $250 fig

Since the 1950-51 school year,
the number of emergency teach

93,917, the NEA report said. How
ever, during the same period the
total number of classroom teach

1,408.962. Thus the proportion of
emergency teachers has dropped
from 1 in 12 to 1 in 15.

in the past 10 years, many states
have increased their requirements
for full certification. Many of
those who would have been fully

The NEA said 97.4 per cent of the
5-17 age group in California is en
rolled in the public schools.
California also has the highest
average salary for classroom
