Here is what it costs to educate
your child in the public schools OF
the country. The average yearly
expenditure for a pupil in our free
schools is $28.25. In 1870 it was
only 1855. The highest yearly
expenditure is in Nevada, where a
single pupil costs $72.15. New
York follows with $3.50, Montana
with $49.40, and California with
1929. In the South the expendi-
lures on each pupil range from
$6.37 in South Carolina to $20.3f
in West Virginia. Oklahoma
spends $15.49, New Mexico, $19.46
while Arizona, with $4041, spends
1915 pupil each year more than
Oklahoma and New Mexico com
bined. One-third of the States
spend from $25 to $40 a pupil

spends less than $15 and another
spends more than $35 is an indi-

HOW CLEMENS STARTED
AS NEWSPAPER MAN

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2l.-Joseph n.
Goodman of Alameda. Cal, ono OF the
first editors In tha west. is the man
who gave Mark Twain his first position
ago. in the days of tho old Comstock
lode in Nevada, wien men who had made
their way across the continent In prairie
schooncrS were taking vast fortunes in
gold from the ground. 1t was Il day
when literature had not penetrated the
west 10 the remote points where the
search FOR wealth led the fortune hunters
and writer's OF even ordinary ability were
hard TO find.
Samuel Clemens had gone into NevaGa
with hundreds OF others as q prospcctor-
While at work In the country just be-
yond Virginia City he sent various contrj-
buttons 10 tho Territory Enterprise, the
leading paper of that section OF the state,
of which Goodman was the editor, His
manuscript was written in u highly hui
morouS vein and touched upon men and
conditions in way that was intensely
interesting. Goodman accepted tho sto-
rics and requested that more be sent.
In this way he got into correspondence
with Clemens, and In n short time Of

ALWAYS TOOK LIFE EASY
AND NEVER HURRIED

NEW YORK. April 2l.-rhe nero
chronology of Mark Twain's life is soon
told. Like most dwellcrs in the imagina-
ton, his Significance to posteriiy lies not,
as with men OF action, as TO how he
wrought upon events, but rather in how
events wrought upon him; for, from
such reactions resulted his imaginative
output-onc OF the most considerable OF
his time, and, as it now seems, one of
the most secure.
Briefly, then. Mark Twain was born
Samuel LanghorDe Clemens, In Florida,

The county chronicles have it that the
elder Clemens failed in business and died,
leaving his son the ample world TO make
his fortune in.
Accordingly. Mark ywain's acquain-
tance with literature began in putting
words into type. not Ideas into words,
Educated only in public schools, he was
apprenticed TO n printer at Is. and worked
AT his trade in ST. Louis, Cincinnati.

"HuclSlebcrry Finn" and Life on the

pscudonym. for Mark Twain is u leads
mans cry to the pilot in shallow stages,
And his familiarity with printing
turned him naturally first Into newspaper
work. then into creative writing, and
finally into the publishing business
wherein like Sir Walter Scott. he suf-
fered a bankruptcy disastrous TO every
thing but his honor, and, like Sir Walter
again, paid Off by his pen debts not Of
his own making.
In due time Mark Twain became a
full nedged pilot. He tells the rest him
self in a chapter OF Life on the Mis-
