FREE TEXT BOOKS WILL NOT
INCREASE SCHOOL EXPENSE.

Greatly exaggerated ideas prevail
concerning the total number of text
books sold in the United States each
year and the annual profits resulting
from such sales. Confidential data
obtained by the United States Blu
reau of Education from AZ textbook
publishers in the United States show
that their aggregate total sales of
text books for use in public schools
to $17,274,030. The aggregate for
public schools, elementary and high,
amounted to $14,261, 768.
The total enrolment in public ele-
mentary and high schools for the
year was approximately 1S,609,040.
Excluding the elementary-sch en-
rollment of California, since Califor-
MIA prints it's own elementary books,
the number becomes 18,213,788. For
each child enrolled in the public
schools in the United States, there
fore, the total annual sale of text
books is 1873 cents. The total expen-
diture per child for all school pur-
poses is approximately 1881. The
cost of textbooks is thus approx
mately 2 per cent of the total cost of
maintenance, support, and equipment.
The cost per child on the school popu-
lation basis (5-18 years of age) is
56.6 cents; the annual per capita cost
If textbooks on the total population
basis is less than Is cents.
These figures indicate that there is
little ground for the fear sometimes
expressed that the introduction of
free textbooks will add greatly to
the cost of the public school system
and will greatly increase the rate of
taxation for school purposes. AS a
matter of fact the cost for text
looks is a relatively small item in the
total expenditure for school pur-
poses.
Bureau of Education officials feel
convinced that the figures obtained
afford a trustworthy statement of
the real facts about the size of the
schoolbook business. The 43 firms
from which data were obtained ham
die probably 80 per cent of the total
textbook sales in this country. Be-
sides California, Kansas also now
prints its own textbooks, but the plan
was not in operation in 1913.

Our friend Mr.. Corell is Jealous of
TIE good name and reputation which
our citizens enjoy for truth and YER
acity. His sample of bluegrass meas
ures ~ 1-2 inches. 1t was pulled up
by the roots. Mr.. Corell is careful
not to state who grew this bluegrass,
whether he himself or a neighbor,
and does not therefore subject him
self to the inevitable.
In some sections it is stated blue
grass is mown for hay. Have any of
the farmers of this section ever tried
it? We would like to see a patch
grown for hay as an experiment.

GLEANINGS.

During the last ten years the num-
Der of students taking the full four
ear course in agriculture in American
agricultural colleges has increased
from bout $500 to 1880, or 500 per
cent.
Typical wheat farms in AUSTRIA
extend from 600 to 900 acres, and
are usually worked single handed by
the farmer and his family, labor-sav-
ing machinery being used in every
possible direction.
Sixteen thousand to $4,000 men will
be needed in Oklahoma for the grain
harvest, reports the commissioner of
labor at Oklahoma City. Wages will
be from 81 to SO per day and board.
Most of the farmers have expressed Il
preference for English-speaking
white men.
Demands for one hundred and
twenty thousand men to help harvest
the wheat crop of the middle west are
already pouring into the office of the
employment division of the Depart
ment of labor in Chicago, an aggre.
gate of one hundred and twenty-five
thousand men already being asked.
Charles M. Schwab sounded Il note
of business potimism at the monthly
luncheon of the Merchants Associa
ton in New York City. His remarks
evoked cheers.
"The prosperity which we exper-
fenced the last 10 to 20 yers," said Mr.
Schwab, sis but the beginning of an
era that will bring the United States
to n higher plane of success, greater
prosperity. and greater happiness
than anything we ever dreamed of
heretofore.
GAS an optimist there is no man
greater in the room than L. | feel that
while we have gone through two or
three years Of a depressed period it
is but cycle and That we will go on
ward and upward IN business for the
United States"
One result of the war, among many
others, has been the discovery that
we have among us an almost indef-
mite number of great minds. Hereto
fore dormant, they are now in full
eruption of speech of wonderful wis
dom. They know, and do not hesitate
to assert with all assurance, Just
what MIR. Wilson should do with the
Mexican trouble, just how he should
handle the German situation, Just who
he should appoint and who he should
not appoint-just why Mr.. Bryan re-
signed, just why he is constitution
ally and inherently meaner than when
they lauded him years ago. Wonderful
full "war babies" these. Should they
live, prosper and grow into manhood
then the old proverb, fools rush in
where angels fear to tread" will be
marked out of the books. Wonderful
