Statistical exhibit showing principal facts as to the dis- tribution of the cost of education between local communities and the State in Massachusetts. In this report the Board quotes a part of its report submitted to the Legislature of 1913, on the same subject, in which it was shown that — (a) In Massachusetts, to an extent proportionately gi-eater than in any other State in the Union, the funds for the support of the public schools are derived from local taxation. (h) The cost of public education in Massachusetts, as else- where, constitutes the largest single item of expense for each community, usually amounting to at least one quarter or one third of all expenditures from the proceeds of taxation. ^ (c) In ]\Iassachusetts, as elsewhere, the quality and general standards of public education which determine the amount of public school expenditures are in large part prescril)ed by law, and the State is generally regarded as responsible for enforc- ing throughout the Commonwealth provision for an effective system of public schools. (d) Towns and cities in Massachusetts vary greatly as to their capacity to support public schools, such capacity being- most conveniently, and with sufficient accuracy, expressed by the proportion of the total taxable valuation of the tovn\ or city to the average meml>ership of its public schools. (e) The disparity among communities in ability to sup- port public education tends to increase as some towns and cities tend to become largely the homes of wage earners, while others tend to become the homes of relatively wealthy people. The following findings of the Board were submitted in its report to the General Court of 1018, relative to the support of public schools : — Findings and Recommendations. The Board respectfully submits, in response to tlie resolve quote_d at the beginning of this report, its findings and recommendations, as follows : — 1. In Massachusetts it has long been the established policy that the cost of supporting the regular public schools should be borne by the local community. The State gives financial assistance for public school 19ir3.] HOUSE — No. 1752. 5 purposes to towns having a valuation not exceeding $2,500,000, and to all towns and cities maintaining approved vocational schools. The State furthermore expends large sums for the education of defectives and delinquents, for the training of teachers, and for the pai-tial support of higher technical and agricultural education. 2. There is in Massachusetts a considerable number of towns and cities having a relatively low valuation in i^roportion to the number of children to be educated which receive no financial aid fi-om the State towards the support of public education. These communities find it hard to meet the necessary cost of public education out of the proceeds of local taxation. It is jirobable that in some of these communities conditions of industry and population are changing in such a way that in the future the burden of maintaining adequate school facilities will be relatively greater than it is at present. In these cases the historic method of supporting public education is and will be, in Massachu- setts, unsatisfactory. Notwithstanding that the Commonwealth, by legislation and othei-wise, aims to promote fairly uniform standards of efficiency in public education, because of limited resources these towns are unable to confoiTU to such standards except at the cost of excessive taxation. 3. The Board is of the opinion that sound educational policy on the part of the Commonwealth, looking to the maintenance of an efficient system of public schools througliout the Commonwealth, requires that a immber of toAvns and cities, not now in receipt of financial assistance for the support of public education, should be so assisted, if the finan- cial resources of the Commonwealth permit the necessary expenditures for that purpose. The Board recognizes that there are involved, in proposals for further substantial contributions by the State to the support of public education, fundamental questions of State fiscal policy not within its purview. The Board is convinced that the prac- tice of other States and countries, in distributing the cost of support- ing public education between the local community and the State or nation, is sound in principle and has produced good results, in that through State supervision higher standards have been established and maintained, and poorer communities have been enabled to offer better educational facilities. No sacrifice of local interest need be involved. The Board refers the entire subject to the General Court as worthy of careful consideration. 4. In the event that the Commonw^ealth finds it feasible to provide contributions out of State revenues towards the support of public education additional to those now made, the Board is ready to submit to the General Court alternative plans, whereby such contributions could be so employed as to assist the communities now most heavily burdened, while at the same time providing for proper encouragement of local effort and for suitable super\dsion of expenditures, to the end 6 BOARD OF EDUCATION. [Feb. that the highest efficiency may result. The Board regards it as inex- pedient to suggest such plans in detail until the entire subject has received further consideration. 5. The Board is of the opinion that the requirement that the income of the Massachusetts School Fund shall be apportioned only among towns having a valuation not exceeding $2,500,000 is in accordance with sound educational policy. But the Board is convinced that a sys- tem of apportioning that income to the various towns entitled thereto can be devised whereby the needs of the several communities can be more equitably met than is the case at present, and whereby greater effort on the part of many such communities can be encouraged. . , . The Board finds little to add to the foregoing findings or to the data on which they were based. The princij)al facts as to the support of public schools in Massachusetts are easily ascer- tained and understood. Almost yearly, either by additional legislation or by the more effective enforcement of existing standards, the scope of public school instruction is extended and requirements as to quality made more exacting. Towns and cities, responding to local public demands for more ser- viceable public school facilities, as well as to new legal require- ments, are, in general, increasingly disposed to maintain good ])ublic schools. The salaries of teachers are rising, the size of classes is diminishing, and the equipment of schools is improv- ing, while the variety of educational opportunities offered is being extended. Consequently, many towns and cities are finding that the burden of taxation for support of schools is steadily growing heavier. The statistics found in Appendix D (see column en- titled " Expenditure for School Support per $1,000 of Valua- tion ") show that a local tax rate for school purposes of $6 or even $8 for each $1,000 of valuation is not uncommon. On the other hand, many of the more wealthy communities in the Commonwealth are able to support excellent schools by a tax of $4 or less. Obviously, the only adequate and permanent remedy for these inequalities is a provision of State aid distributed annu- ally in such a way as, on the one hand, measurably to equalize the burdens of school support among the towns and cities of the Commonwealth, and, on the other, to equalize in some de- 1915.] HOUSE — No. 1752. 7 gTee the educational opportunities which can be offered by various communities. State aid should be so distributed as to encourage each municipality to give adequate support to its schools from local taxation, and to embark upon new and de- sirable forms of education. A sound plan of State aid for the support of public educa- tion should, in the opinion of the Board, be based upon the following principles : — (a) Provision should be made by law for a State tax, yielding each year a substantial sum of money, to be known as the Public School Fund. (h) A large proportion, perhaps 90 per cent., of this Pub- lic School Fund, should constitute a Public School Equaliza- tion Fund. The Public School Equalization Fund should be so distributed among towns and cities entitled thereto that the amount received by any town or city, when added to the pro- ceeds of a specified local tax (for example, $4 on each $1,000 of valuation), will provide for the support of public schools such an amount as will insure the maintenance of adequate school facilities in accordance with the minimum requirements of the law. This amount may well be expressed in terms of membership in the public schools, as, for example, 15 cents for each day of attendance on the part of each elementary and high school pupil, with an additional 15 cents for each day of attend- ance by each high school pupil. (c) When money i-emains in the Equalization Fund after the appropriations suggested in (h) have been made, a portion of the remaining money should be distributed among such to^vns and cities as tax themselves in excess of $4 per $1,000 of valuation for school purposes, the State giving an amount equal to the amount raised by local taxation in excess of the proceeds of a $4 tax. However, the entire amount given any one municipality under this provision should not exceed 3 cents for each day of attendance of the pupils in its elemen- tary and high schools. (d) Only those towns and cities should share in the State aid under the provisions of (h) and (c), above, which appro- priate and expend for public school purposes from local taxa- 8 BOARD OF EDUCATION. [Feb. tion a stated, amount in proportion to assessed valuation, — the amount liere suggested being $4 for each $1,000 of valua- tion. (e) Any moneys remaining in the State Equalization Fund after the foregoing appropriations shall have been made should be distributed among all the to^\^s and cities of the State in proportion to the average membership of their public schools during the preceding school 3^ear. (/) A small proportion of the Public School Fund (say, 10 j)er cent.), to be known as the '' Public School Special Aid Fund, " should be set apart to be used to assist communities in maintaining special forms of education required by law. Many cities and towns must, by the provisions of chapter 590 of the Acts of 1914, maintain public evening schools. Larger cities and towns must maintain courses in manual training and mechanical drawing. It is desirable that relatively poor communities should be assisted by a State fund in maintaining these special forms of instruction. It does not appear practicable at the present time to devise a uniform law making rigid provision for the distribution of the Public School Special Aid Fund. It would seem more reasonable to empower the Board of Education to make suit- able rules and regulations for the distribution of this fund in accordance with the needs of communities as these may appear. Such rules and regulations could be changed from time to time, as desirable. The Board submits herewith (Appendix A) a form of pro- posed bill for the creation of a State school fund by a mill tax, the distribution of the proceeds of which is to be made in ac- cordance with the above principles. The Board is of the opin- ion that, if the Legislature finds it desirable and expedient to make any provision of State aid for public schools, then such aid should be secured and distributed substantially in accord- ance with the prof)osed law. The mill tax has been used as a convenient basis ; but a study of the statistics presented in Ap- pendix D will show that a State tax of one half mill (that is, of 50 cents on each $1,000 of valuation) w^ould yield a sub- stantial amount, which amount, properly distributed, would 1915] HOUSE — No. 1752. 9 bring nnicli relief to communities which are now taxed exces- sively to maintain public schools. The '' mill tax levy " is suggested as a basis for the proposed State school fund partly because many proposals for a similar tax have been considered by the Legislature in the past. In 187.1 the secretary of the Board of Education recommended a half mill tax. In 1884, 1887, 1888 and 1895 proposals for a mill tax were before the Legislature. In 1896 a bill providing a mill tax for school purposes passed the House, but was de- feated in the Senate. In 1897 a similar bill passed both House and Senate, but was vetoed by the Governor. In numj^ States a State fund for school support based upon a tax of one or more mills exists, as was pointed out in detail in Appendix I) to the report on ^' State School Support, " sub- mitted by the Board to the Legislature in 1913. The Board appreciates the difficulties confronting any pro- posal for a plan of school support which involves additions to State taxation. The Board is well aware that taxes now levied by the State heavily burden many towns and cities. ]^ever- theless, the Board respectfully submits that this problem of aiding poorer communities in the support of schools is one which merits attention by the Legislature. The resolve calling for this report does not direct the Board to consider any of the problems of taxation involved. The Board submits these pro- posals because it considers them to be based on sound principles and to be advantageous to the interests of public education. The Board is also directed by the foregoing resolve to sub- mit a plan for a more equitable distribution of the Massachu- setts School Fund. The statistics in Appendix D show that most of the towns entitled to payments from the income of the Massachusetts School Fund do not receive excessive sums there- from, and also that such towns do tax themselves to a reason- able degree for the support of schools. There are marked ex- ceptions, however, which show that the present method of dis- tribution is, in some respects, imperfect. To remedy certain manifest inequalities, the Board submits a proposed amend- ment to the existing law (see Appendix B) to the effect that, in addition to -the other legal conditions established for sharing 10 BOARD OF EDUCATION.. [Feb. in the income of the Massachusetts School Fund, towns must tax themselves for school purposes to an extent of at least $4 for each $1,000 of valuation. It is further provided that when the maximum amount which any town may obtain from the fund shall, in addition to the proceeds of a tax of $4 on each $1,000 of valuation, amount to more than $900 for each sep- arate school maintained by the town with the approval of the Board of Education, then the maximum amount to be given from the income of the Massachusetts School Fund shall be only such sum as, added to the proceeds of a $4 tax, will equal $900' for each separate school.

Aj^ Act to provide foe the Establishment of a State School Fund and for the Distribution thereof. Be it enacted, etc., as follows: Section 1. The State School Fund is hereby established. This fund shall be derived from the proceeds of a State tax of one mill upon each dollar of valuation, levied annually upon all towns and cities in the commonwealth, and from such other appropria- tions as may from time to time be made thereto by the legislature. Section 2. On the first Wednesday of January of each year the treasurer and receiver general of the commonwealth shall ap- portion all moneys then in the State School Fund in the follow- ing manner (a) ninety per cent of such moneys to a fund to be known as the School Equalization Fund, and (b) ten per cent of such moneys to a fund to be known as the School Special Aid Fund. Section 3. On the first Wednesday of January of each year the board of education shall submit to the treasurer and recei^'er general of the commonwealth such facts as may be necessary in order that the funds established by section two of this act may be distributed among the towns and cities of the commonwealth on- titled to the same as hereinafter provided. Section 4. A city or town shall be entitled to share in the funds established by section two of this act only when and after the board of education shall have certified that said city or town has, in the opinion of the board, complied, during the school year immediately preceding, with all laws relating to public schools. Section 5. Any city or town that, for the second preceding fiscal year of such city or town, shall have expended from the pro- ceeds of local taxation for the support of its public schools a san; not less than the amount that would have accrued from a tax of 12 BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Section G. The treasurer and receiver general of the common- wealth shall, on the twenty-fifth day of January of each year, apportion and pay to each town or city entitled, under the pro- visions of sections four and five of this act, to share in the School Equalization Fund such a sum of money that, when added to the amount that would accrue from a tax of four dollars on each one tliousand dollars of valuation of said town or city as of January first of the current year as determined by the tax commissioner, to- gether with the share, if any, that said town or city receives from the income of the Massachusetts School Fund for the current year, and together with the amounts, if any, which ha^e been paid by the commonwealth to said town or city during the fiscal year immediately preceding, for state aid to high schools under the pro- visions of chapter four hundred and twenty-seven of the acts of the year nineteen hundred and eight and for reimbursement of tuition under the provisions of chapter five hundred and tliirty- seven of the acts of the year nineteen hundred and eleven, will provide the following amount: The product of fifteen cents multiplied by the sum of the aggre- gate number of days of attendance of all pupils in the public ele- mentary and high day schools of said city or town for the school year last preceding, for whom no tuition was charged by said city or town, and the aggregate number of days of attendance of pupils for whom said city or town paid tuition in the public school of other towns or cities; to which shall be added the prod- uct of fifteen cents multiplied by the sum of the aggregate num- ber of days of attendance of all pupils over fourteen years of age in approved public high schools of said city or town for the school year immediately preceding, for Avhom no tuition was charged, and the aggregate number of days of attendance of all pupils over fourteen years of age for whom said town or city paid tuition, with the approval of the board of education, in the public high schools of other cities or towns. Section 7. If in any year the School Equalization Fund shall be insufficient to provide in full the amounts required under the provisions of section six of this act, then the treasurer and re- 1915.] HOUSE — No. 1752. 13 ceiver general of the commonwealth shall pay to each city and town an amount whose ratio to the amount to which such city or town would otherwise be entitled, under the provisions of said section six, is equal to the ratio of the moneys in the School Equal- ization Fund for such year to the sum of the amounts which would be apportioned under the provisions of said section six. Section 8. If in any year after the allotments provided by section six of this act shall have been made, a balance remains in the School Equalization Fund, the treasurer and receiver general of the commonwealth shall pay from this balance to each city and town entitled, according to the provisions of sections three, four and five of this act, to share in this fund a sum of money equal to the amount expended by said city or town for the support of its public schools during the second preceding fiscal year from funds raised by local taxation over and above the amount that would accrue from a tax of four dollars on each one thousand dollars of valuation as on January first of said second preceding fiscal year, as determined by the tax commissioner. But the sum of money paid to any city or town under the provisions of this section shall not exceed the product of three cents multiplied by the aggregate number of days of attendance of all pupils in the public day elementary and high schools of said city or town for the school year last preceding, for whom no tuition was charged by said city or town. Section 9. If in any year the balance remaining in the School Equalization Fund shall be insufficient to provide in full the amounts required under the provisions of section eight of this act, then the treasurer and receiver general of the commonwealth shall pay to each city and town an amount whose ratio to the amount to which such city or town would otherwise be entitled, under the provisions of said section eight, is equal to the ratio of the balance of the moneys in the School Equalization Fund to the sum of the amounts which would be apportioned under the provisions of said section eight. Section 10. If in any year the School Equalization Fund shall be more than sufficient to provide the amounts required by sections six and eight of this act, then the treasurer and receiver general of the commonwealth shall apportion the balance of said School Equalization Fund to each of the cities and towns of the commonwealth in amounts proportional to the aggregate number of days of attendance of all pupils in the public day elementary 14 BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Section 1. — A tax of one mill on a dollar based on the State valuation as of Jan. 1, 1913, would yield $4,997,939. State taxes are levied on the basis of the State valuation instead of the local valuation. The mill is used as a convenient unit. Section 2. — The- State Equalization Fund would receive $4,498,146, and the School Special Aid Fund would receive $499,793, on the basis of a one-mill tax levied on valuations as of Jan. 1, 1913. School Eqvalization Fund. — The purpose of the School Equali- zation Fund is to provide for cities and towns that already tax themselves for school purposes $4 per $1,000, sufficient additional money to enable them to maintain minimum school facilities, assumed to cost (see section 6) about 15 cents per day for each elementary school pupil and 30 cents for each high school pupil. The average cost of public school education in Massachusetts for 1915.1 HOUSE — No. 1752. 15 1913 was $10 for elementary school pupils, and $QQ for high school pupils. The average number of days' attendance for each pupil was about one hundred and seventy days. Seciion 3. — The first Wednesday in January is the date set in this section, in order that the Treasurer may make the neces- sary computations before January 25, the latter being the date upon which the income of the Massachusetts School Fund is now distributed. Section J/. — -This section corresponds to a similar section in the Massachusetts School Fund law, providing that cities and towns must comply with all school laws in order to share in these funds. Section 5. — This section provides that no city or town shall share in the School Equalization Fund unless it has taxed itself, for school purposes, to the extent of at least $4 per $1,000. The average local tax for school purposes was, in 1913, $4.45 per $1,000 of valuation (local valuations used). Section 6. — This section provides that each city or town taxing itself $4 per $1,000 for school purposes shall receive from the State a sum of money equal to approximately $25 for each pupil in the average membership of all its schools, and approximately $25 addi- tional for each pupil over fourteen years of age in the average high school membership, together with corresponding amounts toward the tuition, if any, which the town pays for pupils attending ele- mentary and high schools in other cities and towns. The allotment is based on the actual attendance rather than on the average membership, in order to encourage towns to maintain schools for a longer school year, and also as an incentive to school authorities to secure greater regularity of school attendance. It is, at the same time, the fairest basis of distribution, since the cost of maintaining schools is, roughly, in proportion to the number of weeks that such schools are maintained. The double minimum for high school pupils is allowed because the maintenance of high school education is usually about twice as expensive per pupil as the maintenance of elementary education. For the school year ending June 30, 1913, the average cost in Massachusetts of elementary schools was $40 per pupil, and of high schools, $66 per pupil. For the year ending Jime 30, 1914, the average cost of high schools was $68 per pupil. Moreover, it is not possible to determine a single amount per pupil that would equit- ably represent the amount that should be allowed per pupil for the 16 BOARD OF EDUCATIOxX. [Feb. support of botli, high and elementary schools combined, since the ratio of high school pupils to all pupils varies in different towns and cities from 5 to 30 per hundred. By providing for an approximate allowance of $50 a year (30 cents multiplied by 170 days) for each pupil attending high school, in ease the town maintains its own high school, and at the same time allowing an equal amount toward the expenditure for tuition in case the town does not maintain a high school, it will be possible for each town to consider on its merits the question as to whether the town should maintain its high school or not, and at the same time will nuike it possible for certain towns to maintain two-year high schools, sending pupils for their third and fourth years to the high schools of other towns or cities. At the present time, towns of less than 500 families are not encouraged to maintain high schools of their own, since the State grants only $500 toward the support of a high school, but where towns maintain no high schools it reimburses one half or, in some cases, the entire expenditure for the tuition of pupils attending high schools in other towns and cities. Furthermore, the present law takes no account of high schools having courses less than four years in length. The provision that the additional allowance for high school ],>upils shall apply only to those pupils who are over fourteen years of age will do much to prevent the criticism and discontent that jnight arise if certain towns promoted many younger pupils to the high school. At the same time, the fact that a pupil over fourteen years of age will, if promoted to the high school, count as an addi- tional high school pupil, will undoubtedly tend to diminish re- tardation in the elementary scho6l. In determining the amount to be paid to each city or town ac- cording to the provisions of this section, it will be necessary to ascertain two sums, and then obtain the difference between these two sums. 1'he first sum, as described in the first part of this sec- tion, includes the following amounts : — 1. The amount that the city or town would derive from a tax of $1 per $1,000 as based on the State valuation levied during the current year. 2. The amount, if any, that the city or town is to receive from the Massachusetts School Fund. 3. The amount, if any, that a city or town of less than 500 families received during the preceding fiscal year from the $500 gi-ant for high schools, and the monevs reimbursed to said city or 1915.] HOUSE — No. 1752. 17 town for the tuition of pupils attending outside high schools during the preceding year. The second sum represents the assumed minimum needs of the city or town for school support, and is to equal the sum of the fol- lowing items : - — ■ 1. Fifteen cents for each day of attendance of each pupil in the puhlic schools for whom no tuition was charged, 2. Fifteen cents for each day of attendance of each pupil for whom the town pa}'s tuition in the schools of other cities or towns. 3. An additional fifteen cents for each day of attendance of each high school pupil over fourteen years of age for whom no tuition was charged. 4. Fifteen cents additional for each day of attendance of a high school pupil over fourteen years of age for whom the town pays tuition in the high school of another town or city. Section S. — This section oifers an incentive to municipalities to provide more than the minimum educational opportunities. For elementary schools it provides that, at an additional local expendi- ture of about $5 a year per pupil, the expenditure for education may be raised from $25 to $35 per pupil through State aid, and for high schools, at an additional local expense of $5 a year per pupil the total availahlc money for high schools will be raised from $50 to $60 per pupil. Section 10. — This section provides that any amounts remaining in the fund shall be distributed, on the basis of the aggregate num- ber of days' attendance, to all the cities and towns of the Common- wealth. 18 BOARD OF EDUCATION. [Feb. Appendix B PROPOSED FORM OF BILL AMENDING LAW AS TO DIS- TRIBUTION OF INCOME OF MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL FUND. An Act relative to the Distribution of the Massachusetts School Fund. Be it enacted, etc., as follows: Section 1. Section one of chapter four hundred and fifty-six of the acts of the year nineteen hundred and three is hereby amended by inserting after the word " sixth ", in the thirty-third line, the words : — provided that for the fiscal year nineteen hun- dred and eighteen and thereafter a town shall be entitled to share in the income of the Massachusetts School Fund under the pro- visions of this act only when said town, during the second preceding fiscal year, shall have expended out of the proceeds of local taxation amounts equalling or exceeding the amounts that would accrue from a tax of four dollars on each one thousand dollars of the as- sessed valuation of such town, as determined by the tax commis- sioner.
