International school spending compared to the United States
A Frederick Palmer quote from The American Legion Monthly notes that Norwegian and Dutch immigrants receive costlier free education in their homeland than American born students. It cites per pupil expenditures of 64, 60, 58, and 57 dollars in Norway, Holland, New Zealand, and Sweden versus 57 in the United States, and contrasts with 25 cents to five dollars in Turkey, Russia, Nicaragua and similar nations, urging reinvestment in public education.
