Looking for answers in such macro terms is probably not an effective response to the problems posed in the article. What would likely be more effective would be data on changes in teacher salaries over time, changes in administrator salary over time, etc. This makes a huge difference in the argument if for no other reason than that the increase in revenue over time has been due to increased services (not necessarily relating to the betterment of the state or its educational systems) rather than the deepening of the pockets of existing services in 1964.
