ment that this amount refers 10 boys
Of families enjoying an income of
$4,000 to $4,000 a year-under pres

enough in his country TO be called

But even at this ratio the boy Is
rather expensive unless he is brought
up to repay with interest the amount
spent upon him. And IL Is an inter
esting FAC that a large amount spent
IN training a youth does not Insure
that he will prove OF very great value
To the community. To expend this
sum means that he will have the best
advantages from every point Of view;
that he will have the benefit OF a col
lege education, and that every effort
will be made to develop his faculties
to the best advantage And at such
a rate the boy should prove a very
good investment. But the question
will always be an interesting one: Is
he, as a rule. the superior from an
economic standpoint of the boy who
has to make his way and pay as he
goes? II is not necessary to go 10 eN-

TO HOUSE THE
DELEGATES
Albuquerque Man Who Attend
ed Meeting of Irrigation Con-
greSS in Sacramento Has
Some Valuable Suggestions,

NJ. r.. swan, who attended the Ma
tional Irrigation congress at Sacra-
mento. as a delegate appointed by the
Commercial club Of this city. calls at
tention to some features noticeable at
hat congress and which he thinks
will be Of practical value if adopted
by the congress to be held here next
september. Mr.. Swan states hat the
question Of lodging for the large
number Of people cOngregated at sac
ramento at that time was very happi-
ly solved by the erection of several
hundred tents, The charge for a
nights lodging in the tents. Including
cots and good bedding, was held down
to the uniform rate of. fifty cents. this
being I'm addition to the ordinary ho-
tel accommodations. 4 canvass was
made Of the city whereby many pri-
waite rooms IN residences were OBJ
hut the notable thing the com
mittee i'm charge looked after was to
hold the price down to "A reasonable
so that an visitors went away
well satisfied in this particular. An
other thing TO which Mr.. Swan calls
particular attention is that during all
the time the congress was in session
an delegates who desired to accept the
hospitality OF the people were pro-
vided with free tally-hos. free auto
mobiles and carriages to go to any
part OF the city and the farming and
orchard lands adjacent TO the city.
and each delegate was supplied with
a free pass for n day TO the state
