In 1929-30, there were enrolled 594 men and 10,149 women. The
majority of the women were mothers of school children and members
of local parent-teacher associations. In general, the intellectual and
educational attainments of these women were above the average. For
the most part they were native-born citizens of the United States. In
Long Beach and in Bakersfield there have been classes composed of
Mexican women and in Bakersfield one class of negro women was
organized and successfully carried on.
COST OF THE CLASSES.
The cost of the promotion, administration, and conduct of the 349
classes organized during the biennium was $46,336.30. This amount

Complete data concerning the fees charged to class members are not
available but it is safe to say that some tuition was charged in at least
90 of the 349 classes, the amount varying from $0.75 to $2.50 per person.
Thus, the sum of $21,242.90 paid by 71 local school districts was
derived in part from district school taxes, in part from state and
county school apportionment, and in part from fees collected from the
individuals enrolled.
