Special to The Nel0S.
New York, Jan. 6.-The results of
the latest study conducted by the Rus
sell Sage Foundation were made pub
lie for the first time in bulletin 124
of the foundations division of educa-
ton, under the title, "a Comparative
Study of State School Systems in the
Forty-eight States" According to this
report, the state school system Of Mis-
sissippi takes forty-fifth place in gen.
eral efficiency among the systems OF
the forty-eight states of the Union.
Some of the disclosures made in the
report are of striking Significance.
The Shortest School Year In the
World.
Rhode Island has the longest school
year of any state-193 days-but if
these 1913 days of schooling were d.
vided equally among the children Of
school age in the state, the result
would be 116 days of schooling each.
The report terms this the effective
school year." and compares the forty
eight states on that basis. The results
of this comparison show that this, state
provides fifty-eight days of schooling
for every child of school age. In near
ly a quarter of the states the effective
school year is less than three months.
As a nation, the United States has a
shorter day, a shorter school week,
and shorter school year than any
other highly civilized country in the
world.
Half a Billion Year For Schools.
Our expenditures for public educa-
ton have more than doubled in the
past ten years. Today the people OF
the United States spend nearly halt
billion dollars year on their pub
lie schools. The expenditure per child
of school age ranges all the way from
SO in South Carolina to nearly eleven
times as much, or $S2, in Washington
The amount that the state has in
vested in school buildings is an index
of its past interest in education. In
Mississippi, the average investment
per child in school buildings and prop
erty is 81, while in Massachusetts il
is nearly twenty-nine times as much
or $115.
In current expenditure per child Of
school age, this state takes forty-fifth
place among the forty-eight states
while in the average value of school
property the standing is forty-eighth
"A significant fact in connection with
this expenditure for school property
is that as nation we allow our pub
lie schools to burn down at the rate Of
more than one for every school day In
the year.
A 22-Year Elementary Course.

pulsory attendance laws, or through

in FORTY-FIFTH PLACE

their reinforcement waste much of
the money that they expend on their
schools. Some states have long school
years and short attendance years. The
per cent of attendance ranges from
about 60 in Maryland and Mississippi
to more than so in Oregon and Massa-
chusetts. In this state the average
per cent of attendance Is 55.S which
gives a rank of forty-eighth among the
forty-eight commonwealths.
In North Carolina, New Mexico and
Alabama, the attendance period is so
short that the average pupil would
need about twenty-five years to COM
plete an elementary course of eight
years of nine full school months each.
If he were compelled to live up to this
standard he might enter school at the
age of and not get his eighth grade
certificate until he was 81.
Annual Earnings of conyicts, Teachers
and other Laborers.
In eighteen of the forty-eight states
the average annual wage of public
school teachers amounts to less than
7 it is more than two dollars day. The
highest average salary paid in the
United States is 1913, in California,
and the lowest is 5000 in North Caro-
lima. The rank of Mississippi is forty.
seventh among the forty-eight, with
an average annual salary of 1910 per
! teacher.
According to this study, the average
annual wage of carpenters in the Unit
ed States is about 1902, of coal miners
$500, of factory workers $3.50, of CON-
mon laborers $519, and of teachers
s485.
Throughout the Southern states,
thousands of rural teachers earn less
than $3.50 year. In one New England
ctate hundreds of teachers earn less
than six dollars per week. In one
county in Central Atlantic state the
average for all teachers is $129 per
year. One Southern state rents Its
convicts to contractors at a little more
than $500 per year, while it pays irs
public school teachers slightly over
$500.
Washington Leads.
In general allround efficiency, this
study places Washington first among
the states Of the Union, with Massa
chusetts close second. and New Yorl
third. All Of the states have veal
points which need to be remedied. The
object of publishing the results Of thi'
study at the present time Is to brint
these weak points to the attention 0
educators and to place in the hands
OF state legislators an authoritative
statement Of present public schoo
conditions Copies are to be sent t.
eve.y member of every state legisla
tune converting in 1918.

FREE TRADE INCREASES LIVING COST

Sir Wufrid Laurier, the Opposition leader, at
great meeting recently held In the Conservative city
of Hamilton announced outand-out free trade
in food policy and in doing SO received one OF the
greatest oyatons OF his His speech Is con-
sidered the keynote Of the Liberal position to be
taken at the coming session OF Parliament. and clear
ly indicates that the tariff question has suddenly,
as a result of the United States tariff, jumped
into first place as an issue in Canadian politics,
completely dwarfng the navy issue, Sir Wilfrid
said:
The situation requires action, prompt, unhesit-
sting action. The policy believe every patriot In
Canada ought to support and the policy believe 1t
to be the duty of the government to inaugurate i'm
mediately is a policy of absolutely free food-food
free from customs duty.
What is OF immediate interest to the people OF
Canada today is not the price OF dreadnsughts.

cages the 0 IS OF the Canadian people from he

sale and far more vital question: It is the ques-
ton OF the high cost OF living.

In Canada 81 per cent. Now, just one point here.

Reflect that Canada produces yearly 20oooo,O0o Blu.
shells of wheat while the consumption is only So,
100000 bushels and that the surplus has to find
market abroad Up to this time practically the only
market has been the market Of Great Britain. II
then we reflect that Great Britain has to import all
the wheat which she consumes land, further. that
the price Of wheat and the price Of bread are cheap
err in Great Britain than in Canada, then you have
to agree with that there must be something rot
ten in the State Of Denmark-Canada.
And we have not reached the end Of the high.
cost Of living The cost Of living will be higher
in two three months than II is today. What IL
the cause? The recent reductions in the American
tariff. Milk, cream. swine, sheep beef and many
other articles have been placed upon the free list
the United States. Therefore these products are
already rushing toward the United States. We know
in the matter of cattle alone they rushing car
loads ever, day from all parts of Canada, where
there cattle toward the American market.
But these articles have named cannot come
back free from the United States into Canada and
II no products of the same kind come back from
the United States into Canada, the result Is that
all of the articles which the staple food of the
people growing scercer in Canada and the price
increases that is the natural condition Of things
If you alter the tariff are you not going to inter-
fere with the farmer? Not at all Nobody finds
products The trouble is this, that the price which
is paid to the farmer is not the price that is paid
by the consumer The difference between the price
which is paid by the consumer leaves a wide margin
for the trusts and combines N. Y. Tribune.

ADVICE FOR PROFITABLE PRODUCTION
FOR HOGS SO

To produce pork prodtably hogs must feed and
Craze continuously pastures and crops partieu
larry planted for them, is the advice Of experts Of
the farmers cooperative branch of the Bureau Of
Plant Industry, Department Of Agriculture Very
seldom ia the growing Of hogs for slaughter source
Of profit unless proper grazing and feeding methods
are followed.
In the spring. summer and fall there are many
crops for pasturng hogs, but during the winter the
crops to select from are limited On almost every
farm the production and keeping of hogs in winter
is expensive. and generally 1t is not profitable for
the reason that large quantities of corn fed
without products of green crops. More winter
grazing is needed for which many crops adap-
ted The most reliable are however, rape rye, oats,
wheat AMI barley. It is not too late to plant these
crops and in sections of the South this is the
best season.
For grazing purposes these pasturing crops for
hogs should be sown specially well drained and
prepared land that is either rich has received
liberal application of manure Good winter pastur-
age is not obtained except the best drained
lands.
The seeding should be heavy to insure thor
ough planting. The young plants will grow slowly
in the winter and many plants will be needed to fur
nish plenty of pasture. Crimson clover will do well
with rape, rye. oats, wheat, barley and will mean
improvement the land.

WORK OF SENIOR SENATOR

1t is with considerable political pride that the
Logan Republican call attention to the high es-
teen in which the senior senator from Utah is held
among his fellow senators at Washington d. c. On
December the matter of senate quorum came up
and was discussed by Senator Owen. In his re-
marks he referred to Senator Smoot in terms which
a distinct compliment to the senator and to his
constituency. His remarks were endorsed by Sena
tor Thomas We quote the following from the Con-
gressional Record Of December A.
NH. OWEN. referring to the calls for
quorum and call attention to the fact that Mr..
Gallinger at 1855 p. m. on Wednesday called for
quorum and Sc senators answered to the roll
call. Mr.. Brandegee made the point OF no quor-
um AMI It developed for the first time that thers
was no quorum, It being Immediately after dinner
and some senators not having finished dinner.
There were only 40 senators who answered the
roll call until about 80 minutes
MR. SMOOT. Forty.fve minutes
Mr. OWEN. Which | think is a matter
greatly to be regretted Mr. Smoot made tho
point at 015 this morning, and want to say,
in passing, that in commenting upon the absence
Of the Senator from Utah (Mr. Smoo) the o.ner
evening did not do so with any unkind intent
or to indicate that he was not faithful in his at
tendance than is the Senator from Utah, and do
tendance upon the sessions Of the Senate. do
not believe there Is in this body who Is
more faithful than the senator from Utah, and do
not believe there is a more Industrious man in
this body than he. glad to pay that measure
of respect to him because / think he is entirely
deserving of 1t.
MR. THOMAS Mr.. President
The VICE PRESIDENT. Does the Senator
from Oklahoma yied to the Senator from Colo
RADIO?
MR.. OWEN. Mr.. President, merely wish
to emphasize my appreciation of the last state
ment of the Senator from Oklahoma (Mr owen).
I differ radically on almost every public PROPOSE
ton with the senator from Utah (Mr. smooD but
his powers of application and industry, his close
attention to public business has commanded my
this body He is a bitter partisan, but he fights
fairly end in the open, He fought the tariff bill
from its beginning to its ending. 1t encountered
his unrele,ntng opposition, and yet he wanted to
see tina: bill as its details perfect posi-.
ble notwithstanding that fact, since he could not
prevent it's enactment I want here and now
to acknowledge my sense of obligation to the Sen
ator because during the consideration Of that bill
he gave me many extremely valuable suggestions
and much desirable information concerning many
OF the items OF the bill and relating as well to Its
general framework, many Of which was glad to
avail myself OF and which were incorporated In
the bill. l think the Senator from Utah is en-
titled TO this statement and to its appearance In
the Record to the end that he at least may be
free from the charge or imputations OF neediessly
flibusterng against important legislation. Certain
= It is that one is more attentive to his pubic
duties than the senior senator from Utah
