nation. the United States has a shorter
school day, a shorter school week, and
a shorter school year than any other
highly civilized country in the world
American expenditures for public ed
ucation have more than doubled in the
past ten years. according to the bull
letin. Today the people of the United
States spend nearly half billion dol
lars a year on their public schools
The expenditure per child of scohol
age ranges all the way from SO in
South Carolina to nearly eleven times
as much, or s32, 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 property
Is -, while in Massachusetts, it is
nearly 20 times as much, or $115. A
significant fact in connection with this
expenditure is that as a nation we
allow our public schools to burn down
at the rate of more than one for every
school day in the year.
The bulletin sets forth that in many
states through lack of compulsory at
tendance laws, or through their non
enforcement, 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
so in Maryland and Mississippi to
more than 80 in Oregon and Wash
;ngton.
In North Carolina, New Mexico. Ar
kansas and Alabama. the attendance
period is so short that the average
pupil would need about % years to
complete an elementary course of eight
grade of nine full school months each
It he were compelled to live up to this
standard, he might enter school at the
age of five and not get his eighth
grade certificate until he was 81. In
Is of the 4S states the average annual
wage OF public school teachers amount
to less than one dollar q day. In only
five states is it more than two dollars
a day. The highest average salary
paid in the United States is 1918, IN
California, and the lowest is $500, In
North Carolina.
According to this study the average
wage of carpenters in the United
States is about 1902, of coal miners
$500. of factory workers $3.50, of COM
mon laborers $51s. and of teachers
SASS.
Throughout the southern state sthou-
sands of rural teachers earn less than
$3.50 per year. In one New England
state hundreds OF teachers earn less
than six dollars per week In one
county, in a central Atlantic state the
average for all teachers is 1929 per
year. One southern state rents Its
convicts to contractors at a little more
than $500 per year, while it pays its
public school teachers slightly over
$30e.

YOUNG WOMEN FROM
THE SOUTH ATTAIN
METROPOLITAN SUCCESS.

Friends of Miss Harrie Fumade,
formerly of Atlanta, will be gratified to
learn that she is attaining great sue
cess in New York as an entertainer
Several months ago Miss Fumade de-
cided to go north to enter a very I'M
usual field of public effort, namely the
giving of club and drawing room re-
citals, where her talent for story tell
ing and whistling would be employed
foH the entertainment of guests.
For many years Miss Fumade re-
sided in Atlanta, where she was a.
social favorite, owing to her vivacious
mentality and her magnetic personal
attributes. She was especially in de-
mand as dinner guest, because OF
her attractive conversational powers.
A New York exchange thus tells of
Miss Fumade's metropolitan success:
IF the old adage concerning whist
ling girls needed any refutation, such
refutation IL would certainly find in
the success Of young woman from
the south who is now whistling her
way into the favor of New York So
ciety audiences.

from Atlanta, Ca, has brought with

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS
GET LITTLE PAY.

The results of the latest study Of
the Russell Sage Foundation, on an
interstate comparison Of schools sys-
TENS. have been made public in Bulle-
tin No. 124 Of the Foundation Divi-
sion OF Education. The bulletin IS en-
titled "a Comparative Study of State
School Systems in the Forty eight
States" and sets forth. among other
things, that in Is out of AZ states the
average annual wage of public school
teachers is less than one dollar day,
and that one state rents Its convicts
per annum for more than 1t pays its
teachers; that the United States has
the Shortest school year in the world,
that American public schools burn
down at the rate of one for every
school day in the year; that the
amount per child invested in school
property ranges from 81 in Mississippi
to $115 in Massachusetts,. and that the
providing of free textbooks in one
state resulted in ten per cent increase
IN high school attendance.
Rhode island has the longest school
year of any state-193 days-but If
| those 1913 days of schooling were d.
kyided equally among the children Of
school age in the state, the result
would be lie days of schooling each.
The report terms this the effective
school year" and compares the As
states on that basis. In nearly quar-
ter OF the states the effective school
year is less than three months. AS

her remarkably clever accomplish
ment in an imitation of the song Of
the mockingbird, so beloved in the
sutnland, and in her warbling of the
songs and calls of other members Of
the bird tribe.
In addition to these bird songs Miss
Fumade has that very rare gift-a
double whistle, one carrying the air
and the other an accompanying lower
note, and her rendition of old southern
folk songs in this way are most in
teresting.
''The best part of Miss Fumade's
whistling, though said one person
who heard her recently. is that she
doesn't seem to have to make faces
while she's doing it. Her lips are
only slightly parted, not pursed, and
she stands up and does it so simply
and unaffectedly that she makes whist
ling seem not mannish, but the dainti-
est, most womanly thing in the world
Miss Fumade's whistling seems to
be quite the most novel stunt of the
season, and she has been much in de-
mand for private entertainments. She
has been on the program at several
of the charity benefits recently. To-
night she will whistle for Mrs. Will
liam Story's guests. She is soon to
be heard at the Colony club"

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a widow

He has proposed to me. l have not
told him about myself. Is it wrong

have put him off. What shall do?

II you are divorced, and he is a good
man, tell him the truth about yourself
and marry him if he wants you. Your
children ought to have a good man 20

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young
man of Is. am in love with two girls
one is rich; the other is poor, but
she has fine education and is the
best looking. Which shall I decide
upon? JIMMIE.
How much money have you, Jim
mie? Have you got a steady job? Can
you support a wife? Are you willing
to settle down and be a good husband
and walk the floor nights when the
baby is teething? Do you know how
to be kind and helpful to a woman
whether she is sick or we'll? Are you
willing to give up all other girls, for
just one girl, all the rest of your life?
If you're not, my boy, you'd better
wait few years before deciding upon
any girl. Also, make up your mind
that any girl who says she loves you,
now, is either awfully silly or she's
telling you an awful big lie.
Dear Mrs Thompson: Dbl know
two girls who dislike me very much
How can l win their friendship? They
laugh at me because 1 give them such

sing the right kind of songs for your
audiences.

girl Of II, and FIVE months ago I met
a young man of 10. He seemed very
attentive to me until about two weeks
ago. Although he calls me up occa-
sionaIly he does not ask to make any

tired of me? How can I win him
back? (2)-Occasionally am alone

1t has been suggested that it shall be
removed intact to a park owned by the
city of Montgomery. In discussing
this matter a few days ago, a Mont
gomerian said: There is nothing now
on this park property, and 1t would be
an ideal location for the JEFF Davis
home. I understand the White House
chapter, U. D. c., has about $4,000 on
hand. The old Confederate mansion
could be moved I think. for about
$4,000 or $4,000 and should not
think the owners of the house would
charge much to get rid of it. The
city should be glad to have the home
put on its property, thereby preserv-
ing one Of Montgomery's historic relics.
If something is not done, the White
House of the Confederacy will soon
be demolished"

FATE OF OLD HOME HANGS
IN THE BALANCE.

For . number Of years. there has
been manifested by many southern
women. much interest in the fate OF
the residence occupied by President
Jefferson Davis, when Montgomery
was the capital of the Confederate
States.
Several plans were suggested for it's
preservation as an historical relic, but
thus far, nothing definite was ever ae-
compIished in this direction.
Owing TO the fact that new hotel
is soon to be erected IN the imme-
date vicinity of the Davis residence,
in Montgomery, and that naturally
other improvements will follow in
that locality, the question of the
final disposition of this interesting old
house is brought to the attention Of
