Economy is one Of the lost arts by
which a 81 hill is made to work In
two shifts. ts
When this country was flrst set
tied people were obliged to econo-
rnize with the utmost ardor or starvS
standing up. Most OF them decided
to exercise strict economy and live
on the frugal Goldfish ball and cheap
but filling huckleberry. and as re-
suit great fortunes were accumu-
lated. only to be dissipated later on
by spendthrift sons who encouraged
popular belief in the theory Of total
vacuum. When we look back upon
the life Of our rigid economy dur
Ing the offertory, we are moved to
ask: Why economize for the benefit
Of people who will not use any OF
their own?
Economy is beautiful sight in
any home, but 1t can be overdone.
Why is it that so many men will buy
adding, machines, cash registers
electric fans and gold-lined humidors
for their offices, and yet compel their
wives to put up with the man killing
rn-broome The kind Of economy
which spends $4,000 on an electric
limousine and $40 on kitchen uten-
sis Is making 1t almost impossible
to secure a hired girl who will stay
long enough to find out the location
OF the hour-bin. g
When exercised regularly for a
long period Of years. economy be-
comes a fixed habit and prevents a
man from enjoying picture show
except as an invited guest That Is
the trouble with economy. It never
knows when to loosen mp and become
cheerful and gay. When a man and
his wife have saved and scrimped
and starved for thirty years, in or

steps In and keeps them away from
church for fear Of running into the
missionary collection. More exact.

IOWA HIGH SCHOOLS.
TDes Moines Repister1

! No more important. development In
Iowa life can be cited. covering the
last few years. than the rema rkablt
growth of high school attendance.
Only a few months ago, The Regis.
ter made comparison of the high
school enrolment in Iowa and Massa-
chusetts, based on the latest figures
then available, and the results were
decidedly to the disadvantage Of Iowa
Massachusetts showed a considerably
larger proportion of her population In
high schools than Iowa.
But this situation has been remedied
, The Iowa state board of education has
off the press this week q bulletin on
the accredited high schools Of Iowa. re-
vealing both great increase in en-
rollment and a raising of standards
among the high schools of the state.
Iowa has not outstripped Massa-
chusetts, but the lead of the eastern
state has been almost to nothing. In
Iowa. high school enrolment is 22.4 per
thousand. and in Massa chusetts 2S.7.
The average for the United States is
1884 per thousand.
This state ranks fifth in the United
States in the proportion of residents in
high schools. California tops the list
with 24.S per thousand. Washington Is
second with "a. Massachusetts, third
with "a. and Oregon fourth with 22.S.
outranking Iowa only by a fractional
pupil per thousand.
In the percentage Of school popula-
ton enrolled IN the common schools.
Iowa is second. California leads with
$3.50 per ent enrolled, and Iowa has
SS.6S per cent.
iu"a's iish slhvvi development III
the last few years has been well
rounded. Since 1914 the number Of
students in accredited schools has in
creased by 5000. Twenty per cent OF
this growth has been attained by the
addition OF shirty-two high schools to
the accredited list. but there has been
an increase Of $500 in actual school
enrolment.
Iowa now has l5S high shoots Of
more than 100 pupils each. AS there
are exactly l51 cities and towns in
an Idea is gained OF the big enrolment
in the small town high schools of
Iowa.
One OF the most striking develop
ments has been in the tendency Of
uAS SSHOOl IL ESlAdin d
fun four-year course and take their
degrees.
While the high school enrolment
was increasing 20 per Cant. the grad
uating classes increased 80 per cent.
and they will mount much more
rapidly in the next couple Of years. as
the, larger classes entering recently
complete their work Thus in the
West Dies Moines high school there
7.ere 1873 graduates in 1915, and there
are 22s seniors this year.
Six Iowa high schools graduated
more than 100 pupils eah CAST year
Cedar Rapids 1877: Dav4rport, 1o7:
East Des Mo;nes. 142: West Des
Moines. 1873: Iowa City, Aos;. Sioux
City, i1a.
This year there are nine schools
with more than 100 In the senior class,
those mentioned above and Burling-
ton. Council Bluffs and North Des
Moines.
The schools are expanding in their
curricula. Five times as much manual
training equipment is in use this year
as in 1854, while the equipment for
domestic sciene and agriculture has
doubled" New school buildings are
icing erected at an expenditure OF
