THE AGE OF ExTRAvAGANcE

Extravaganza is charge that is
frequently and urgently laid against
the American people. Since the COM
ing of the automobile into daily use
for business and pleasure the charge
has been perhaps more frequently ami
persistently made than before, but the
complaint is by nc means new. There
10 no doubt tina. the people OF this
country spend their money more free
ly and even more reCkiessly than the
people Of the older countries. Econ.
omy is lesson mat this country is
still too new and too generally un.
developed to have learned, but the
automobile Is not the reason of 1t. Go
to the mountains and the seashore
and you will find the vocationists OF
all degrees of financial standing en-.
joying themselves and spending mon
ey previously saved and even dis
counting the future. The country has
always offered SO many opportunities
OF making money that even those
who fail to make 1t are not without
hope, and they believe that II they
spend today they will get it back TO-
morrow.-Hartford Courant.

IN
UNITED STATES

Statistics gathered by the Federal
Commissioner of education indicate
that the average amount of education
received by the children Of the Unit.
ed States during school life, that is,
from five to eighteen years of age.
is little more than five years Of ten
months each. 1t appears that while
the average number of days of at
tendance for each child increased by
almost IA per cent. during the decade
ending in 1910, the average daily et.
tendance in that year was only 1Ia
days, or less than five and three
fourths months annually. II this rate
of attendance should continue during
the thirteen years of school age, tie
average amount OF schooling received
by each child would be only 1,046
days, the figure upon which the est.
mate above given is based. While DR..
Claxton admits that the United States
Bureau of Education has no reliable
statistics on the subject, he says that
IL is quite probable that less than half
the children of the country finish well
more than the first six grades; that
only one-fourth of the children ever
enter high school; that less than eight
H. every 100 do the full four years of
high school work, and that fewer
than five in 100 receive any education
above the high school. 1t should be
noted, however, that during the
period from 1900 to 1910 the number
OF public high schools increased by
more than 20 per cent, and the mum.
Der of high school pupils by over IS
per cent The value of public school
property increased 20 per cent. dur.
ing the decade, and the income OF
such schools showed gain of SO per

per cent. IN productive endowment;
their faculties grew to the extent OF
81 per cent, and their student bodies
increased 81 per cent, while their in.

dowments, exhibited a gain OF 173 per

that of the four or five millions OF
young men and women of college age

the full four years WORK and take
a degree. In this as in other direc
tons, DIR. Caxton declares that there
is much room for improvement, and
that the best interests Of the civic
and industrial life of the country dc
mand that larger proportion of It's
citizens should have the preparation
for leadership and direction of affairs
which the colleges are supposed "a
give. He points out that the expendi
ture for public education is less than
So per capita in twenty-five states and
less than $3.50 per capita in ten
states.

INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA

Although Western Canada suffered,
as did many other portions Of the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one Of the most promising
crops ever seen in that country, into
but little more than an average yield
Of all grains, there ID left in the
farmers hands, a big margin of profit.
OF course there We're many farmers
who We're fortunate enough to harvest
and market a big yield, and with the
prices that We're secured made hand
some returns. From wheat, oats, bar
ley and flax marketed to the LIST Of
January, 1912, there was a gross rev.
enue Of $75,3S4,00O The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to SOL, $50, 900 or 81 million
dollars in excess of 1910. There was
still in the farmers hands at that
time about So million bushels Of wheat
worth at least another sixty-ive mil
lion dollars (allowing for inferior
grades), besides about 100 million
bushels of oats to say nothing of bar
ley and flax, which would run into sew
eral million Of dollars.
There is a great thrush Of settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the past year
upwards of 131, 900 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
of these took up farms. over ten thou
sane having homesteaded, in fact the
records show that every state in the
Union contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go SO far away as the
homesteading area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
to twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for a good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years.
The land has had sufficient moisture,
and with a reasonably early Sing, it
Is safe to predict a record crop.

literature sent out by the Government
agents should send to the one nearest.

Mccormick club acted wisely, and it
is to be hoped that more clubs in 1.-the
county will follow their example,.

Quayle's Time for Retiring.

From the Kansas City Star.
DR.. w. A. Quayle, Bishop Of the Metho-
dist Church and a popular lecturer, in the
early days Of his ministry went back to
preach one Sunday to a foreign congrega-
ton In Kansas, and was entertained by
one Of his old parishioners. After tho eve
ming services the family gathered round
the earth and exchanges "reminiscences
with their guest, apparently without any
thought OF retiring. Eleven o'clock came
and II o'clock.
The conversation Jagged and all showed
unmistakable signs OF WEAKNESS. DR..
Quayle 'yawned politely and rubbed his
dropping eyelids. His host moved rest
lessly in his chair. His hostess eyed the
timepiece with growing alarm. The very
air wal drOwsy, but no one seemed able to
end the awkward situation.
Finally as the clock chimed 1.3O o'clock
his hostess asked deprocatingly, but with
a note Of desperation in her voice:
Brother Quayle, when do you go to
bed?"
when I get u chance" replied Dr..
Quayle meekly.
