MARYLAND MANUAL. 27 helping teachers to improve instruction with a relatively small corps of supervisory officials. The average current expense cost in 1934 of educating a pupil in the schools of the twenty-three counties was $48.74. Graded schools having three or more teachers, with better trained teachers, more equipment 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 over 42,000 county pupils at a cost of $864,000. There were 58.5 per cent of the white county schools, and 81 per cent of the colored schools in the counties which reported that they had active parent-teacher associations organized in 1934. Maryland’s school system is frequently visited and studied by offi- cials from other States and counties because of its plan for effective administration and supervision in a county unit system, and because of its method of distributing school funds on the basis of need through its Equslization Fund. Board of Education—Baltimore City. The public school system of Baltimore is separate and distinct from the school system of the State, is controlled by a board of nine mem- bers appointed by the Mayor of Baltimore, and not under the jurisdic- tion of the State Board of Education.
