penditure. which was $511,O greater than
the preceding year. The figures
show a smaller number Of public school
houses. but greater estimated value of
school property, $4,000 fewer volumes in
district libraries, all average school term Of
one day shorter, fewer men and more women
teaching, but slight increase in their aver
"Here is certainly valuable food for
reflection. From this statement it would
appear that the cost of public school
work in the state of New York increases
in an inverse ratio to the number Of
pupils taught, while, as we have seen,
crime increases in proportion to such
cost.
"'But,' says the superintendent, the
schools increased in efficiency in greater
proportion than the attendance fell off,
And the only evidence he furnishes us in
confederation of the statement is found
in the fact that $4,000 volumes disap-
peared from the district libraries in the
short period of one school year. History
tells us that in ancient Sparta the most
accomplished and highly honored
youths were those who could steal with
out being caught. But we very much
doubt if Sparta's lads in her palmiest
days could have purloined $4,000 books
in so short time and escaped detection.
OHIO.
In 1850 Ohio had native population
of 1,757,746. and was expanding on 502,-
S26 pupils $1,O1S,25S, or $2.O2 per pupil,
and at that time she had but 1902 native
born criminals, being one native GRIM
inal to every 1922 people. But in 1880
she was receiving from the people
s11, OS5, 315 for the public school educa-
tion,of 952, 944 pupils. being $14.72 per
pupil, and out of native white pOpu-
mails, being one to every 1926 in place
of one to every 1882 as in 1850. In
other words, while Ohio was increasing
her expenditures upwards of sevenfold
in order to check crime, her criminals
increased upwards of tenfold.

The weather in rs1s-1e.

"The open winter of 1888 80 will
have companion when the history of
the century is written, says the st. Louis
Glo6e-DemOcrdt The year 1916 enjoyed
an "open winter during the entire
twelve months. being frequently re-
ferred to by contemporaneou writers as
the year without summer" All
through the settled portions of the
United States and in England there was
frost in every month, crops were
ruined, and farmers called it the year of

none in December or January to speak
of. Christmas and New Years were

cred the earth and soon melted.
People prepared for great storms and
extreme cold weather in February, but
were disappointed, as it was even
milder than January. Toward the end
of the month and during the first days
of March terrible storm ragged and
gave place to cold and boisterous winds.
The weather of January was repeated
in April, but grew colder as the days
passed, ending with snow and ice and
very low temperature. In May ice
formed an inch thick on the rivers and
streams, buds and flowers were frozen,
and the entire corn crop killed. Frost,
ice and snow were common In June,
and all attempts to raise vegetable pro-
ducts failed. The condition of the
farmers Is described as being desperate,
and they were compelled to hoard their
crops Of the preceding year and neces.
STATED big increase In prices Almost
every green thing was killed and the
fruit nearly all destroyed.
July was accompanied with frcst and
ice. The 4th was cold and clustering
wind, raw and uncomfortable, swept
the entire Atlantic coast. The day fol-
lowing ice was formed of the thickness of
window-glass in New York City, all
through New England and in Penn
sylvania. In August ice half an inch
thick was frequently seen. September
and October presented the nearest APP
proach to summer weather of any other
months in the year, but in November
snow and extreme cold weather began,
and severe winter continued up to
April, when summer began, and the
elements permitted the farmers to realize
bountcous crops.
The sane condition of affairs existed
in England as in this country, only il
was not as severe. In central New
York it is stated corn was so badly
frozen in the summer that it was cut
down and dried for fodder. The warm
weather of January so encouraged a
Vermont farmer that he planted corn,
and in fact some of il was in good con
dition during March. Farmers were
compelled to pay "a and S. bushel
