EDUCATIONAL COST LESS
IN YER|NGTON THAN
ELSEWHERE

Last Friday night at the meeting
of the Parents-Teachers' Association
Martin gave some facts and figures
which are very fattcring to the Yer
ington schools, and to the administra-
ton Of the financial affairs of the dis
trict. In the course of his remarks he
said, in part:
In order to determine whether the
cost of education is exorbitant in one
place, and in another place too low
school men have figures which give
accurate information.
The annual expenditures of a school
system are taken, divided by the unm-
ber OF census children, and the result
ls the per capita cost of education
The following figures are extracts ta-
ken from list of forty seven cities
and were compiled by the United.
States Bureau of Education:
Berkeley, California, $5l32; Oakland,
California, $43.64; Spokane, Washing
ton, $4l.c5; Salt Like City, Utah.
1884; Fallon Nevada, S37. 50; Day.
ton. Ohio, S33o4; Yerington, Nevada
5000; York, Pennsylvania, $2802.
-.NNi"SC Ioi ioI iF-ScNcH CllleS, SoOOo
This makes Yeringtons per capita cost
$40 below the average
The professor also told of his re-
cent experiment with the seventh and
eighth grades of the Yerington Gra-
mar School During his recent vaca-
ton he came across On old examine
ton paper, or list of questors hich
had been given to class in the Pal
mer High School, Of Massachusetts
There were 10 words the hardest in
the language, to spell, or, to be more
explicit, the hundred words misspalled
the ottenest in the theses of the men,
bers OF the high school. This list OF
words, without preparation, ana v.ih-
out notice, was gwen to the sevtntn
and eighth grade classes of tile Yer
ington Grammar School, and the per-
centage of the eighth grade Tor cor
rect spelling was an average of "a.
The seventh grade average was 1o5
per cent. The Palmer High School av-
erage was S5.23 per cent, showing that
the seventh and eighth grades Of the
local grammar school was lust little
below that of the high school class in
Massachusetts. These figures go to
show that, though the YerlnSton
schools cost considerably less than
the average American schools to
maintain, they are away above the av-
erage when results are taken into
consideration.

RUSSIA GIVES REASONS
FOR REJECTING
PEACE

The declaration of the new Russian
Minister for Foreign Affairs. speaking
as he says by the full authority of
the Car, and this followed by unan-
lmous vote of the Russian Duma in
opposition to considering the question
of peace in Europe may be regarded
as conclusive in the premiss. Russia
has more to lose at present, more to
gain by the ultimate success, and less
TO risk at any period than any of the
entente powers. She also holds a
commanding position in the essential
element which will win the war-man-
power and untouched natural re
sources, and authority to command
both without recourse to parliament
ary processes. Moreover, Russia's
participation in the war was begun
not so much from considerations OF
territorial acquisition as from the
promptings of the most fanatical OF
human emotions. that based upon re-
ligion. The menace of Austria upon
Serbia aroused Holv Russia, the
strongest of the States adhering tc
the Greek Orthodox faith, the protect
