Table A gives the school expenditure, classified by race, in each Southern State that reports the expenditure so classified, as far back as the record goes in each. In Maryland the expenditure for negro schools for the first three or four years is mainly in the city of Baltimore. The totals, of course, include only the States tabulated. Table B gives the white and colored school population (children 5 to 18 years of age) in each case where the school expenditure is given in Table A. The relative white and colored school expenditure, it is evident, possesses no significance unless considered in connection with the relative number of children of each race for whose benefit the expenditure was made. Table C gives the expenditure for white schools per capita of white school population and the same for the negro schools. The averages are for the States recorded each year. In making an estimate of the white and colored school expenditure of the remaining Southern States, the most obvious assumption to make in the absence of any positive information is to consider that their white and colored school per capita expendi tures bear the same ratio to each other each year as the average per capita given in Table C. It is upon this basis that the classifications by race have been made that are given in Table D, except for the years 1870-71 and 1871-72, in which the ratio of white to colored per capita was taken at about 6. 1890-91. 1891-92. 1892-93. 1895-96. 1896-97. 1897-98. 1885-86. d 286, 698 d 108, 996 1, 429, 631 193, 835 1,564, 621 208, 369 727,999 1, 629, 973 264, 894 1,598, 251 1,834, 553 1, 930, 794 2,029, 542 806,846 g318, 7129160, 382 4, 136, 979 798,048 421, 441 211, 489 4, 409, 209 856, 855 4, 826, 055 864,416 283, 000 1,920, 475 889,080 897,818 900, 188 231, 659 5, 803, 172 1, 008, 496 473, 468 246, 946 6, 252, 989 1, 151, 283 482, 139 243, 703 6, 194, 685 1, 145, 510 a Excluding certain small sums not classified by race and a few counties not reported. b Does not include permanent improvements in Baltimore City. c Does not include permanent improvements outside of Baltimore. d Includes salaries of teachers and superintendents only (or cost of tuition). |
