EDucATl0K's VALUE

More Per Year for Forty Years.
Sioux City, June 20.-sioux City's
board Of education is making 2 cam
paign to increase attendance at the high
school. and in this movement has Is
sued thru the superintendent a booklet
explaining the advantages Of such edu-
CATION.
Argument in favor Of high school
education Ii placed on a money basis IN
one section Of the booklet, and the con-
clusion 10 reached that education Is
worth $40 a day to any man. The hs-
ures are thus stated:
The average educated man gets
1000 a year. Working forty years, ne
makes $4,000 for q lifetime. The
average day laborer gets $3.50 day
for 800 days in the year If he rs lucky.
In forty years he earns $4,000. Inc
difference of $4,000 equals the value OF
an education.
ITO acquire this earning capacity re-
auires twelve years at school OF $50
days each, or 2.1s0 days. Divide $4,000
the value Of an education. by :.lee' the
number Of days required to get 1t. and
ID 1OuHO IN3L BCuOOuu8 'Ao WV sA1 -
little more than SO daily to the pupil.
Can SO be earned any easier?"
The booklet further argues that
man to be noted must be educated. Sta
tistics from the United States census
and the American biography cyclo-
pedias show:
THAT no person without a common
school education has become sufficient
ly noted to have his name In this col
lection.
ono man in 5000 has won this dis
tinction. having had . common school
education only.

Geneva, June 20.--Mrs. c. F. Weiss
berger had thrilling experience and
narrow escape from death here this
week. when she fell into well. Mrs,
We!ssberger was returning from
fishing trip and had stopped at the
home of Frank Benson for drink OF
water. She stepped on broken plank
in the we'll platform. which gave way
under her weight, precipitating her
into the we'll.
Mrs Weissberger, being muscular
young woman, was able to keep her
head above the water by clinging to
the pipe. Her cries brought assistance.
Aside from the fright incident to her
terrible experience she was unframed.

ANNOYANCE CAUSED
BY COORED BOYS.

The breaking of the show window
and robbery at Julius VOLTS store, on
King street, last Monday night and
the arrest of several negro boys on the
charge of being the perpetrators OF
the acts is another of the annoying
cases which too often come before the
Police Court. AS will be seen, they
were sentenced to the reform school.
Two of the darkeys which were order
ed to be placed in school will prove ia
miliar faces at that institution, as
they "have both been there before"
in the words of the old song. Last
summer they were brought before the
Police Court for stealing junk at the
Southern Railway depot and sentenced
to the reform school, but after car
nest pleas had been made by their
mother, who was profuse in promises
that they would be kept out OF trouble
in the future, the sentence was
changed to Imprisonment for thirty
days in Jail.
The negro problem has been before
the southern people ever since the
class of the civil war. While some Of
the race have taken advantage OF the
conditions which now surround them,
and have become useful and respcc-
table members of communities, the
great mass fail to appreciate the mil
lions of dollars spent for their benefit
in the way of public schools, hospitals,
etc. They are given every opportunity
to work out their destiny, but many
fail to take advantage of their sur
roundings.
Every southern city has large per-
centage of little scarcecrow negroes,
who prowl the streets and often get
into mischief by giving way to fempta-
tons to take things which do not be-
long to them.
In many cases the mothers of such
children have been deserted by their
husbands and they are compelled to
turn their offspring loose while they
are working in the Kitchens of white
people. In other cases the children
are orphans either by the death OF
desertion by their parents, and they
are compelled to live with old grand
mothers who cannot, for various rea'
sons, give them the attention re-
quired.
The children roam the streets ragged
and hungry and are an annoyance tc
he authorities, as they are often too
young to be held responsible before
the law for their acts.

The remedy for this national folly
! lies in the individual enlightenment
! of the American citizen as to his re-
sponsibiiity for these conditions.
He must learn that his duty to
ward himself his neighbor and his
country does not end when he has
grumblingly paid his premiums for
fire insurance.
He must sense the fact that insur-
ance merely lightens his individual
loss and does not reclaim one dollar
of the value which has gone.
This is well and truly said, and it
is encouraging to note that civic and
other organizations in different sec
lions of the country are beginning
to tackle the subject with realiz-
ing sense of it's Importance and to
bring intelligent activity into a
movement directed to checking this
enormous drain upon the resources
of the nation. A more hopeful sign
still, is the fact that, in some of the
states, the duly constituted public au-
thorities are disposed to cooperate
in the efforts making to educate the
public sentiment in regard to the eco
nomic Importance of fire prevention.
But there is one phase of the SUBJ
ject which our contemporary appears
to overlook, This is the extent to
which arson, as an organized busi-
ness, contributes to swelling the sum
total of our stupendous fire. waste.
Not long ago New York's fire chief
made the startling statement that
fully Is per cent, of the fires n the
metropolis were of incendiary origin:
accompanied by the even more anlaz-
ing declaration that for this incendla-
rism the insurance underwriters were
largely responsible. Subsequent IN
vestigation went far towards sub
Stimulating both statements, the in
surance representatives admitting
that they needed and wanted certain
amount of fire loss as a necessary
means of keeping their business 60
ing on prosperous and profitable
basis. Now comes from Chicago e
sensational story to the effect that
six men have been arrested there
who have long made a commercial
industry of burning houses IN order
that insurance might be collected;
and these six men, it is reported, only
represent part of an extensive ano
well organized system. The proba-
bilities are strong that conditions:
more or less similar, exist In all the
other large cities Of the country.
In the light of these facts it woulc
seem that, while efforts are making
to educate the general public as to
the Importance of fire prevention
prompt and effective measures should
be taken ii suppress the business OF
arsonl Increased carefulness on
the part of the owners and tenants
will count for little, if the lncen-
diary is to be permitted to apply the
torch with impunity AMI almost ad
libitum.
