MONTANA LEADS OTHER STATES 1
WITH BEST SYSTEM OF SCHOOLS
CALIFORNIA IN SECOND PLACE
NEW YORK, June 10 (by Associat
ed Press).—The state of Montana has
the best all round school system
in the United States according to the
♦results of a comparative study of state
school systems made public by the
Russell Sage Foundation. The report
assigns second place to the schools
of California, third place to those of
Arizona, fourth to New Jersey and
fifth to the state of Washington.
These findings are contained in a
report by the Department of Educa*
tion of the Foundation. The volume
is entitled “An Index Number for
State School Systems” and the author
is Dr. Leonard P. Ayres, Director of
the foundation’s department of educa
tion.
Other findings of the report are
that the school system of the United
States as a whole has doubled in ef
ficiency during the last fifty years,
having an index number or rating of
2 in 1870 and one of 52 at the present
time. Since these index numbers
are figured on the basis of 100, the
school system of the country has now
an effectiveness or efficiency of only
52 per cent, according to the report.
The figures for the individual states
as given by the foundation show that
during the past 30 years the West
has been coming up educationally
while the East has been going down.
During this time the greatest increase
among all the states has been made
by Utah while the state to which is
attributed the greatest falling off has
gained instead of losing is New Jer
sey. In the West the state that has
the best and most consistently high
I record is California.
Among the interesting results of the |
: study is the conclusion that the school
systems of the Unrted States’ terri
torial possessions, such as Hawaii, tne
Canal Zone, and Porto Rico, have
higher ratings than those of many of
the 48 states. That of Hawaii is re
ported better than those of the major
ity of the American states. Ten
Southern states have records poorer
than that of Porto Rico.
The foundation’s educational mea
surement is worked out by taking the
official data showing the number of
children attending. school, the amount
of training they secure, the progress
they make- the amounts expended for
buildings and supplies, the salaries
paid their teachers, and other similar
items, and combining these factors
into a single index number w'hich
shows the general standing or effi
- ciency of the school system. This
method resembles that used by the
Federal government in indexing the
cost of living and prices for commodi
ties.
The foundation states that all the re
sults are computed from data furnish
ed by the states themselves to the
Federal government and that the
records have been compiled and com
bined by exactly the same methods
for all the different states and with
out admitting into the results any
elements of personal judgement. The
— author of the report served during the
war as chief statistical officer of the
army.
The standing of the 48 states, the
istrict of Columbia and the three ter
ritorial possessions is shown in the
following table:

In addition figures are given to
show the relative standing of the
school systems of the states and pos
sessions in 189Q(, 1900, 1910, 1916 and
1918. These indicate that California
has alweys been at or near the top of
the list while the two Carolinas have
in every case been at or near the bot
tom. Every New England state is
shown by the figures to be losing
ground while every state in the Far
West has gained in relative rank dur
ing the period. In the educational
race Iowa has far outstripped Illinois
while North Dakota has gone rapidly
forward. Nebraska is reported to have
gone forward and Kansas backward
during the period of 28 years.
The most notable educational
change that has taken place during
the 50 years covered by the report,
is in the attendance in the high
schools. There are now 100 times as
many pupils enrolled in high schools
as there were in 1870. The number
then was 19.000 and now it is nearly
2,000,000. The high school attend
ance has increased with great rapidity
but the new pupils have been mostly
girls
In the matter of teachers’ salaries,
the states show most diversified prac
tices. The lowest average salary is
$25 per month for the state of North
Carolina, while the highest is $88 in
California, both being based on a year
of 12 months.
