Money Spent On Schools :
Is Money Wisely Expended

Please don't be peevish when we in
form you that the schools are costing
IN 4l8 per cent more than they did 10
years ago.
On the contrary, be glad, and go out
and boast about it.
And IL someone tells you that this in
crease Is due to fads, fancies and foibies
foisted onto the system. and that we

The great, the most notable feature OF
our school budget today is the amazing
increase in the amount needed Tor high
schools and their work.

The capacity of our high schools has
increased 131 per cent in Is years
and this does not include our two junior
high schools; and on top Of this we are
building three more, because we need
them very much.
why Is 1t that the children Of today
are continuing through high school?
Partly because their parents are bet
ter off; but mainly because the schools
Of today give them what their parents
and grandparents could not get. 4

large attendance indicated the Interest
which the home makers OF CIarhsburs
take IN the promotion OF the move
ment which leads to home happiness
and efficiency. Miss Ellis's talk was
interesting aud instructive, and her
lecture WIS one OF the bestc ever heard
here on the subject of good cooking
A spirit Of cooperation and friendli
ness was at once established between
the lecturer and her audience, and
many expressions of praise were
heard on all sides. The foods pre-
pared by this expert cook were keenly
enjoyed by all who tas:cc them, ana
the beautiful cakes given away Great
ed ripple Of excited admiration.
As Miss Ellis took up each item OF
her cookery program, she gave little.
talk concerning the value Of the foods
Ito be prepared. She gave some very.
helpful remarks in regard to the use
of eggs, and some economical ways
to prepare them, one Of which is the
omelet which she so successfully made
before her class. Another process Of
cooking which she explained fully was
that of deep fat frying, and this she
balls, in which she suggested a new
way Of using pineapple. Yesterday
Miss Ellis gave away many beautifully
decorated cakes. This afternoon she
will give away doughnuts, Napoleons
land cheese sticks.
Her cookery program for tomor-

the one carried out yes erday aud the
