ment, and expenditures for transportation cost less per pupil than rural
schools having one or two teachers chiefly because the classes were
larger. Transportation was provided at public expense for 10,600
pupils at a cost of $312,500.
Nearly three-fourths of the white schools, 42 per cent, of the white
elementary, and two-thirds of the colored schools in the counties re-
ported that they had parent-teacher associations organized in 1926.
The index number for judging educational efficiency based on five
items which evaluate attendance and five which indicate public interest
as proved by financial support of schools, continues to show improve-
ment for Maryland. For 1926 it registers 80.6 points in the entire
State and 68.5 in the twenty-three counties, including both white and
colored schools. In 1918 the index number for Maryland was 43.2
points. The goal is 100. For 1924 Maryland ranked twenty-sixth
among the States in index number.
Maryland probably can never expect to rank first among the States
in its educational index number, because half of the items included in
computing it are based on the financial resources of the State. Accord-
ing to a bulletin recently issued by the National Education Associa-
tion, Maryland ranks nineteenth among the States in index of eco-
nomic resources per child. According to the 1924 report of the United
States Bureau of Education, Maryland ranks thirty-second among the
States in the amount spent in maintaining a pupil in school for one
year. In financial items, Maryland can never hope to stand far above
its rank in wealth, but in school administration, supervision, instruc-
tion, and interest of patrons in the schools, Maryland should rank
among the first States in the Union.

* For individual counties, in order to eliminate wide fluctuations from year to
year, the average of capital outlay expenditures for the past four years was used
instead of expenditures in i926 only. For the last three items at the bottom of
the columns, 1926 expenditures for capital outlay were used in computing the
index numbers.
