what the $3.50 Glass Think.


A writer In the April American Maya
zine says:
You little article, "A dollar and a.
half Fight is interesting The income
Of the average American family is some
thing less than $l.50 per day. II IL
about $3.50 per year.
Now If the average man and his fam
lily live on $3.50 per year, the problem
Of living on 81 800 should be an easy
one The bank teller, the professor and
the minister have problem only be-
cause they assume that they are made
of finer clay than the great American
wage-earner The $430 kind of people
don't write for magazines. Nevertheless
they have a financial problem which,
| it forced upon the better class would
drive many OF them to suicide or the
penetentiary. The bank teller, the pro-
lessor and the minister speak OF tastes
which they assume ought to be gratified,
taste. what must be the suffering Of
families suffer because Of unqualified
taste, what must be the suffering Of
our $43O familys The tastes Of the
bank teller, the professor and the minis
ter are acquired by reading and asso
citation. Our $3.50 people read also. II
our NJ 500 compliments will take the
trouble 10 investigate, they will find
that the S430 people have similar tastes
to their own, and given the same leisure
and the $500 they would be nice people
too.
"The difference between our 81 500
family and our $3.50 family is in degree
only, not in kind. Probably the most
distinguished mark ii that our $500
family adopt race suicide, and write
aoout themselves for the papers, while
the $3.50 kind raise big families and say
nothing The clamor OF the $3.50 people
IL sometimes heard in the land, but it
is the clamor for more of the actual
necessities Of life. Were they to clamor
for more money with which TO cultivate
a mere taste, the derision and ridieule
that would be theirs can be left only
to the imagination Until the problem
man Is solved. the problem Of the $1,000
man must wait. Therefore, il the bank
teller. the college professor and the min
ister would help themselves. let them
help US solve It. am writing this for
tine purpose Of showing the attitude OF
many Of oar wage.earners, and I assure
you it comes direct from one Of the
$3.50 class

Is because We were taught ia our fami-

practice. His mind was harassed with
difficult problems ali the day long, yet
he always came to the table with d
smile aud pleasant greeting for ev-

the table hour delightful. All bis pow
ers to charm were freely given to en-
terrain his family. Three times d day
we felt this genial influence, and the ef-
feet was marvellous. If child came to
the table with cross looks, he or she
was quietly sent away to find good
boy or girl for only such were allowed
to come within that loving circle. We
were taught that all petty grievances
and jealousies must be forgotten when
mealtime came, and the habit of be-
Ing cheerful three times day under

the children may be beyond estimation.
