Excerpt from Report of the State Board of Education and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction: For the School Year Ending August 31st, 1880
To the Honorable the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:
The State Board of Education submits for your information the usual annual report of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, with the accompanying tables. The following general facts are extracted from his report:
Amount of two-mill tax $1,017,784.68, showing a decrease from last year of $45,919.02. District and city tax, $698,447.30, an increase of $8,075.38, From other sources, including interest of surplus revenue, township tax, and State appropriation, $157,232.92. Total amount from all sources, $1,873,464.90, an increase of $9,916.58.
Although there is an increase in the total amount of money raised for school purposes, the majority of the schools in the State have been compelled to reduce the salaries of the teachers. Nearly all the money raised by local school tax is in the cities, or the most prosperous of the large towns, leaving the strictly rural districts with nothing but the State funds, which have decreased from $4.49 per child in 1875, to $3.41 per child for the present year.
The total school census is 330,685, an increase of 2,867. The total number enrolled is 204,961, an increase of 1,393. The average attendance was 115,194, an increase of 3,124.
The average cost of education per pupil, based on the total school census, $4.66, a decrease of five cents. Average cost on average attendance, $13.39, an increase of fifty-two cents.
