FREER USE OF SCHOOL HOUSES

The Federal Bureau of Edu- rat ion has been dcv"ting con siderable attention and lnNrstl- patiOn to the larger use of school buildings for civic and social purposes. with the result that recOmmendal ion is made that the school buildings of the nation, instead of being used for but SIX hours a day for five days of the week and eight OF nine months of the year. be turned into real civic and social centcrs and used everN day. and night of the year for lectures. entertainments re- creation and ut her civic and SO- cial purposes.
 Both utilitarian and idraliSt ir arguments support this frcer use of the school buildings. A school house that is used only five OF six hours day for forty weeks of the year cannot be called a fully productive investment. This is the primary use and purpose, to be sure, but in addition there is ample opportunity for making school houses civic and social centers of almost continuous ac- tivity to the great advantage and benefit of the general public.
 Nothing can be more helpful than the establishment of soclal centerS for the evening gather ings of people of all ages for mu- tual improvement along the lines of literature, art, science, his tory, economics. ciNics, and all the things that contribute to the intelligence and fidelity of the citizenship. Work of this kind is of the greatest value to com munity and worth a great effort. With the school house as d SO- cial center there would probably be a decrease in the prrsrn tdrlft of young men and young women to downtown streets where they lose their better impulses in mis- rrablr rummnnplac" or worse.

BON DS.
By George Fitch

\ bond is a quiet, handsome piece of paper which costs Sl .0no. and can earn as much money il '. year as a bright boy.
 bond cunsists of d prraInbl" N hich no one can read because the type is set so closely. al'i :, tau consisting of a large n,inn!"'r .Lt coupons. Whenever the date on coupon arrives, the owner can take q sharp pair of scissors and chop $50 or S6o out of his bond. IL is as easy as cutting a recipe out of a newspaper. Many a man who isn't talented enough to talk to a book agent Sii> down every six months with a pile of bonds and pair of sharp SrlS- SOrs and rarNeS out d few lhOu- sand dollars while he is smoking half a cigarette.
 Bonds are issued by compan- ieS or cities which need the money and the coupons repre- sent interest. When a coupon be- comes due and the company has no money with which to pay the interest, he man+who owns the coupon gives a loud shrick and runs around in circles until con- fidence has been restored and the receivers have done their duty. Nothing is so vcxatious as to clip a coupon which ought to be worth SGO and then find that il has gone dry like a COW and will not give down.
 Clipping coupons is not good exercise and one does not develop any skill OF learning thereby. Yet it is a most popular pastime and should be encouraged. If man will refrain from smoking and drinking and the wearing of speckled vests long enough to save 1000, he can buy a seal brown bond and can clip coupons
 from il for forty years--after which he can trade the manglrd stump for a new light green bond and teach his grandson how to clip
 Some people buy automobiles. fur coats. diamonds and tickets to Europe. Others buy red bonds. blue bonds, pink bonds and when they get enough for a mess they stop working and begin tn worry over the stability of business. A pffr* of bonds will take better care

RAILROADS AND PROSPERITY

Detailed reports of railway earnings for January furnish a key tu the rrmarkabl" up-turn in business throughuul the country. The gross revenues of the Amer jean railways advanced i9 per cent over January of last year and the net revenues increased 45 per cent, a ratio that is really extraordinary.
 Returns from all Inc more inn pOrtant roads furnish gross earnings for January that aggre- gate $253.O3 ,S37. an increase of iS.O per cent over January. 1912. Net earnings for the first mOntf n of this year amounted to SGO,- 359,S3i, a gain of i5.3 per cent over January of last year, ran up I2.5 per cent. The following fig uraiively purtrayS the facts:
 Gross earnings for January 1913, 253,O3l.937: January, 1912. $2I2.7 i2.352; increase per 'centage, IS.9.
 Operating rXpenSes for Janu- ary, 1913, $l92 .636, ,003: January 1912, si7I.lS6,76l: increase per- ccntage, i3.5.

 The detailed report shows that the greatest gains were made by the Pacific roads. particularly those reaching the Puget Sounc country. These showed an in- crease of 2G.6 per cent, the av- craze increase being reduced bA losses in some of the EaSterl lines.
