Excerpt from Public School Finance in Minnesota: Summary of a Report Prepared for the Minnesota Education Association Committee on School Tax and Sources of School SupportIt would seem that Minnesota ought to be willing to be compared with Iowa, North Dakota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. If we take these five states together with Minnesota, we shall have a group of six. In this group, we find that in the year 1920, Minnesota stood fourth, or only two ranks from the bottom of the list as to the amount of money she spent for each child enrolled in school, fifth as to the percent of her school population actually enrolled, and sixth, i.e., last in the group, as to the length of school year in days.The District of Columbia and forty-eight states give us forty-nine units composing our Union. Where does Minne sota rank in this group' of forty-nine? The Federal Bureau of Education gathers facts covering the entire United States. The last year for which such facts have been gathered is the year 1920. These facts have not yet been published by the United States Bureau of Education, but are taken from tables furnished privately to the writers of the present account by the Bureau of Education.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
