Man- ning, Good Schools Do Cost Money San Francisco has been held up by some Seattle advocates of ruth- less school economy as a place where salaries and other costs are satisfyingly low. With that idea in mind, it ts interesting to read this editorial from the San Francisco News: “San Francisco must have bet- ter schools, “Schools are overcrowded.
