or SIX Otner suitable, conscience SCOUT
ing axioms, to be constantly kept be-
fore the minds eye and these, If car
ried out to the letter daily, would
make indigestion and insomia disap-
pear from the home Of many a mil
lionaire. Along this tone the chapter
in question will continue to run, the
sole klea being to appeal to well-to-
do humanity to give more attention
coward supplying work to the unem-
ployed of Missouri.
The Free Employment Bureau.
at is estimated that in the fiscal
year just closed the state free en-
ployment bureau of the state saved
S14,2S for 7,114 men and women by
furnishing them with employment
without cost. The lowest charge Of a
private employment agency for this
service was 81, but for st. Louis,
Kansas City and st. Joseph, the pre-
vailing fee was $500. The figures
representing the saving of the I'M
employed were reached by using the
low average of $500 per applicant.
In reality the saving was close to
, $16,500, as the prevailing saving I'M
doubtedly was higher. Then, again,
those needing help saved their fee by
making their wants known to the state
free employment departments. Add
ing this latter saving, the total amount
saved was about S25, 900. The great
est drawback to a private agency,
when it is honestly run land a great
many are), is the fact that the fee
paid by the applicant is generally the
last money he or she has, and is
urgently needed for food and shelter,
which fact alone makes free employ
ment bureaus worth the cost of keep
ing them up"
