"IT WILL BE cold Sunday," said New, "and the temperature will drop into the 20s again Sunday night.

The Tennessee average is $231 for each child enrolled in public schools this year, based on aver age daily attendance. That is $3 less than the $234 last year. The only other state to spend less per pupil this year than last was New Mexico, which dropped from $364 to $361. Nationally, the average expend! ture per pupil is $414, which is $183 more than the Tennessee figure.

ONLY MISSISSIPPI is spending less than Tennessee, the NEA re search report stated. That state is spending $220 this year for each child. South Carolina and Tennessee swapped places this year in the national standings. South Caro lina, with an expenditure of $230 per child in average daily attendance last year, nudged upward to $232 for the current school year, based on the NEA estimates. "This report confirms that we are facing a real crisis in education in Tennessee," said Frank K.

Bass, executive secretary of the Nashville-based Tennessee Educa tion Association. "ALTHOUGH THE approprla tions for education in the last legislature were the largest in his- torv. the per pupil amount was less due to the increase in enroll ment. "If the next administration and legislature do not reverse the present trend and accomplish a breakthrough toward sound er educational support. Tennessee as a state will pay a high price for many years to come and will incur a national reputation for its bottom rank among the states." The representative assembly of the TEA will meet here Friday and Saturday and decide whether to approve a pro poaal to ask the 1S83 Tennessee Legislature for a $40 million increase in educational appropriation.

The increase would mean an increase of about $50 per year per student. RATIFICATION Is expected by the TEA group during sessions here in the War Memorial Auditorium. If adopted then, this would become official TEA policy and would be presented to the legis lature next year.
