[LM_NET] budget info

[Gail K Dickinson <GDickins@ODU.EDU>]

I have just been reading a copy of the 1928 high school library standards
and see that the recommended appropriation is listed as $1.00 for schools
under 500 pupils.  Using the handy dandy Inflation Calculator available at
www.bls.gov, this translates into $11.30.   That's a little below adequate
by today's standards, even considering that this only accounted for books,
periodicals, and supplies.
