court. Especially do we desire to call
attention to paragraph o of the re-
port, dealing with the liquor question
and its connection with crime. The
testimony of the Eddy county grand
Jury is that more than onelhalf of the
crime committed within the County
of Eddy is a direct result of the liq-
our traffic, and the attention of the
people is called to the fact that the
liquor traffic is a most Improbable
one for the people of the community.

Educational Conference.

Indianapolis. Oct. l4.-Expenditures
for educating young Hoosiers how to
shoot will be discussed at the confer.
nee of The state and non5state
schools called today in thi scity by
Governor Marshall. II has already
been brought out that the state last
year spent $2O5 per capita for college
or university education for its young
men and women, while spending on
ly approximately $3.50 per capita for
education in the common and high
schools. This startling variance be
tween the lower and higher edu-
cation is thought to be worthy of a
special investigation.
A comparison of the figures sup
ports h declaration made IN the re
cent session OF the general assembly,
when the fight for an increased tax
levy for Indiana University. Purdue
school was on. thai the State was
spending a small per capita amount
for common and high school education
in comparison with the money paid
for higher education.
II was this contention that caused
the governor 20 inquire into the com
parative per capita expenditure, with
the result that he decided to call a
conference to determine whether
higher education in the state could
not me maintained at less cost. in or
der TO allow greater expenditure for
the common schools without increas
ing the school tax levy.
The three state schools In 1908 re-
ceived a total of approximately 81.
$4,000 and the total number OF stu
dents enrolled for the schoo year was
approximately 5000. The approx
a cost of maintaining the common
and high schools was 50. SOC. 900. With
this sum $4,000 pupils were cared
for.

A few days a man subscriber com
planned to the Record that We print
ed too much social ibosh." He added
that he would rather ave the space
devoted to telegraph news. A day or
81 g a lady called us up on the
phone and wondered why we had
not printed an of a certain
social function and also told us we
had missed giving an of the
arrival of certain friends of hers who
were visiting her. This lady, also a
subscriber. evidently liked social do
ings and wanted to rea about them.
So il goes. We are not all constituted
alike and what some of us enjoy Is
positively distasteful to others. Yet
We believe that very little real news
gets away from the Record. Some of
it undoubtedly does, and We would
consider IL a favor whenever any OF
our readers notices the omission of a
news item. IL they would kindly re-
member that the next time they rum
across a real news item and call us
up n tell us about IL. Then we will
not miss II.
