piece that I think is very important
and will ask you t. do me q favor by
printing it In your Taper:
Italy exrends every year scr. 900 900 for
her soldiers and less than 100000 for
schools. In Spain It costs $l00, oO0 600 to
maintain the army. and only $1,5oo.O0o to
educate tie children, but then 1t is the
exception TO find Spanish farmer who is
able to read and write. Germany boasts
Of being In the foremost rank In the
kultur kaanpf Of tie world, yet she ex-
ponds SIS o0oco on her army. and sup
ports her schools With $4,000, ooo France
maintains en- amy at an expense
Of $15I, and supports her
schools with about $2l 600. The
United States exrends $li5. 100000 for
