This report presents statistics of city public-school systems for the year 1933-34. It also presents, in connection with the text, data on certain points to show trends within the past 10 years, and especially within the past 4 years when the effects of the depression were being felt by the schools. In previous reports statistics for cities included in larger units for administration were estimated. Most of these cities, 241 in number, are in Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, and West Virginia. In these States, cities, with the exception of Baltimore, Maryland, and a few cities in Louisiana, are included in county systems. Detailed statistics are presented by population groups for each city having a population of 10,000 or more. Only totals for certain items are given, by States, for cities having a population of 2,500 to 9,999. Since statistics are not given for all items for group IV cities, most of the derived tables used in connection with the text contain data for only cities of groups I, II, and III. (Contains 3 figures and 49 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
