STRIKING DIVERSITY IN
EVENING SCHOOL BUDGETS

amounts-1oz cents per capita-al-
though these cities differ widely in
population and in the character Of
their immigrant problems. Seattle
and Cleveland are far apart from al
most every point of view save per
capita expenditure on evening schools
Their expenses on this account are
9.6 cents and 90 cents, respectively,
Minneapolis spends 7.g cents per cap
tia. while New Orleans and Jersey
City are close rivals with 81 cents
and cents per capita, respectively.
Washington, with its congressional APP
preparation OF 10000 per year. just
escapes trailing along at the end OF
the list. 1t expends only Sc cents per
capita on evening schools.
While these figures do not have any
necessary connection with the charac-
ter OF the work accomplished, and
while there are undoubtedly varying
conditions to be considered. yet 10 must
be admitted that per capita expendi-
ture on evening schools gives some
measure OF the community interest In
this type OF work
Evening schools offer almost the
only means OF combating illiteracy
and inability to speak English among
adult aliens. two disabilities which
have already reached disquieting pro-
portions in the United States. Society
has stamped both as liabilities, and
the public veal demands a united ef-
fort to discharge such liabilities.
Elimination of illiteracy and inability
to speak English is only one form of
educational preparedness. Are the
school budgets Of the twenty-one lead
Ing American cities making due pro-
vision to meet this responsibility

The Bible "A Mirror OF the Heart "

From Siam comes a remarkable tes-
ttmony to the value OF the Bible. given
by a Siamese preacher, Mai SCOT. He
says the Scriptures may be likened TO
a mirror of the heart: The manner
OF its use is nearly the same as that
of face mirror. When anyone
doubts If his face is clean he takes
his mirror and looks to see how his
face is dirty and then takes soap and
water to wash II clean. In the sa mo
way. when anyone doubts that he has
sinned and his heart is defiied. he
should take this glass and consider IT
in order that he may behold his sin
fulness."
