Financial aspects of public education study released
Teachers College prepared a monograph by Dr. E C Elliott analyzing the financial aspects of public education. The work uses data from 137 cities, showing 6 to 46 percent of city expenditures go to schools with a mean near 25 percent and urges uniform financial statements for comparison. It notes wealthier cities do not spend education proportionally and highlights local variation. Dean Russell elected president of the Society of College Teachers of Education and a lecture series on the social aspects of free education is announced by the New York School of Philanthropy.
