Those of us who are Of Anglo-Saxon
origin or descent are pretty sure to be
snobs, whatever we may think. But we
cannot help it; it is in the blood.
There is nothing strikes an English
man or American travelling in Latin coun-
tries more than the easy familiarity which
exists among the people. 1t is true there
is class distinction, but this does not make
for haughtness on the one hand or SER
Witty on the other. This was also the case
among the Gaelic peoples until they fell
under the influence of the Anglo-Saxon, or
probably it would be more correct to say

The goody-goody schoolma'am, the
Observation-Disclosures, the philistine-ped-
agogue, the Observation-Disclosures with his
business capacities, have proved themselves
incompetent to deal with the education Of
the young.
They stife talent, they stupefy the in

our children.

HIGHER COST OF
LIVING ANALYZED
Continued from Page ~

living may be logically traced to their
real causes, the most potent of which
appear to be the following:
First. Higher wages and shorter
hours of labor, the increased cost of
which becomes an inseparable part Of
the resulting product.
Second Diminishing supply Of many
raw materials and certain food products
Third. Increased ratio in many indus
tries of demand over the supply.
Fourth. Increased demand for better
quality and more extensively made pro-
ducts.
In this connection it should also be
noted that, as a rule, the manufacturer
and merchant in most OF the competitive
industries have not profited by reason
of the higher prices, but on the con-
trary are getting a sma der percentage
when labor and materials were much
cheaper. The large aggregate profits
which are made by mammoth establish
ments represent, in most cases, very
small net percentage of profits based
upon large sales, and radically differs
from the old time method of making
large percentage of profit upon COM
paratively small sales
COST OF AUXILIARIES.
But, in addition to the above "ac-
tuap' necessities of life, modern condi-
lions demand an elaborate course of
education for all children far beyond
the age at which some of our most dis
tinguished and successful citizens began
their business career. And this marked
change not only increases the household
expense but depletes the ranks of wage
earners in corresponding ratio.
And holidays and half holidays are
more frequent amusements and regu-
lar summer Outings have become part
of our life, and the automobile Is re-
garded as an actual necessity in many
homes all of which features uist be
computed in the modern cost or nvlns
in America.
And, although some may bemoan the
absence of old-time thrift and economy
and may urge greater simplicity in liv-
ing and recommend that the standard
of what is substantially be substituted
for the "fastidious' and 'ostentatious".
it may be well to squarely face the fact
that Americans manifest no inclination
to renounce the Injuries to which they
have become accustomed and which they
have learned to regard as necessities:
