According to the account, this eommitte reported that the Gary school system was not eco? nomical, that its holding power i? not greater than in other school systems, that there i? a great increase in per capita cost of instruct!?.I Ifl fact, that the annual per capita cost is 60 per cea! -iig'ner than that in Elizabeth, and that, therefore, as a relief for the tax? payer- the Gary system will probably prove a delusion. As it happened, this committee was in Gory at 'he same time that I ??? visiting the schools last year, so that our findings fortunately cover the same perie ! of time. As the press accounts suggest -bat the Elisabeth report i? timely for New York, the following comparison of the cost of the school? of New York itself and of Gary may prove even more timely: In 1913-'14 the per capita cost of instruction in elementary and high schools in Gary was 183.80, 20 per cent less than New York'. $4J.'2H.
