HOUSES

scale of wages in other lines OF ac-
tivity, The newly developed type
of apartment hotel furnishes maid
service and meals, so that in tns
family there is saved the inconvenl-
ence and expense of marketing, pre-
pairing meals and maintaining n
kitchen. AS the supply of house
hold servants becomes more scarce
and the density of population IN our
great cities increases, there Will De
a continued strong tendency to-
ward the construction of apartment
houses and family hotels.
in the principal American cities
to-day, many of the most important
building projects are hotels OF
either transient or apartment type.
In the various complexities of mod
ern life, it is becoming more neces-
sary for people to travel, and peopl9
also are travelling more as means
of education and diversion. These
conditions are reflected in demand
for better and more commodious
hotel accommodations, which ten
denotes will continue with the de-
velopment of better transportation
facilities.
There was a time when trip
across the American continent was
considered a long and hazardous
journey, but the day will soon come
when New York and San Francisco
will seem like next door neigh
bors, for the airship is quickly an
Initiating distance, just as the tele-
phone and telegraph have done. As
a result of these various funda-
mental conditions. the present
marked trend toward the growth
of hotels of all types will continue
to be one of the outstanding fea-
lures of the real estate market

Commenting on conditions in the
building and construction industry,
S. W. Straus, of S. w. Straus & Co.,
says:
LAS a result of the shortage of
servant labor, higher rentals and
the increasing cost of all household
supplies, a distinctively new ten
dency has developed in the building
industry which is manifested in Ln
unprecedented demand for large
apartment houses of the residential
hotel type. Modern ingenuity has
created this form of construction to
the end that many of the objection
able features and inconvenience Of
the individual home are eliminated.
THE servant problem has been u
veXatious one for some time and i3
likely to become more acute with
restricted immigration and a higher

Il school is well summed up by Mac
aulay in these words. "Before one
generation had passed away, it be-
gan to be evident that the common
people of Scotland were superior in
intelligence to the common people Of
any other country in Europe. To
whatever land the Scotchman might
wander, to whatever calling he might
betake himself, in America or in In
dia, in trade or in war, the advant-
age which he derived from his early
training raised him above his com
petitors. If he was taken into a
warehouse as a porter, he soon be-
came foreman. If nc enlisted in the
army he soon became a sergeant.
Scotland, meanwhile, in spite of the
barrenness Of her soil and severity Of
her climate, made such progress in ag-
| riculture, in manufacturers, in com
merce, in letters, in science, in all
| that constitutes civilization, az the
| old world had never seen cquallcd,
and as even the new world has scar
ccly seen surpassed"
On the other hand, in Spain, Rus
sia, Turkey, Mexico and many South
| American countries there is the same
story Of poverty, revolution, and mis-
cry, regardless Of race, climate or
| abundance Of natural resources.
In England, for instance, where
an efficient educational system is in
use the average earning capacity per
inhabitant is $3.50, compared with
Russia, where an inadequate cduca-
tional system is in use the average
annual earning capacity per inhabi-
tant is $50. Comparisons to the same
| effect are made between other Euro
| pean nations.
The total wealth per inhabitant in
England is $3.50, while in Russia it
is $3O5.
Even in the United States, the
earning capacity Of the citizens Of
| the different States is in direct pro-
portion to the efficiency of their
| school systems. If the forty-cight
| States are arranged first, in the as
ccnding order Of individual earning
capacity and second, in the ascending
order of the efficiency OF the school
| systems, the two lists would be found
TO coincide with startling cxactncss.
Consider, for example, the com
parison between Massachusetts, South
Carolina and the United States as a
whole in this double respect Of wealth
| and school efficiency.
BY taking the sum Of the combined
products Of the farms, factories,
mines, and quarries, as given for each
State in the report Of the Census Bu-
reau, and dividing by the population
Of the State, very rough approx
nation Of the average earning pow
ers Of the inhabitants may be secur-
ed
When this is done, it shows a pro-
ductive capacity in 1910 for Massa-
chusetts Of $446 per year; for the
United States as whole, of 1892;
and for South Carolina, Of $171.
Now the average schooling given in
1910 to the citizens Of Massachus-
cites was ia years; that Of the Unit
ed States as a whole, 5.23 years;
while that Of South Carolina was only
3.18 years.

DOES 1T PAY"

This Office is in receipt of book
let by DR.. Reed Smith, and published
by the State Council Of Dcfcns" Of
South Carolina, dealing with the sub
jcct Of Education. We do not know
Of any better use TO which the
columns Of The Advertiser can he
put than the printing Of copious cx-
eracts from this booklet. We trust
that all our readers who have not re-
ceived a copy Of this book will read
carefully the extracts published from
time to time and weigh them well.
In his Preface, DR.. Smith says Of
the book: "Does 1t Pay" seeks to an
alyze the money value Of education,
with special reference to the situa-
tion in South Carolina. 1t is issued
by the South Carolina Council Of De-
fense as part Of the Councils pro
gram of State Improvement and af
ter the-war rcadjuStmcnt.
The fact and figures are fro the best
availabel sources, Every
effort has been made to give an ac-
CuEASe AHu uiIDIi"'u pl'S''IaIi'l vi
facts"
Mr.. D. K. Coker says Of the book :
"Such a presentation Of the subject
as is made by DR.. Smith should con
vince the reader not only That ig-
norance is tn" most destructive fac
tor to the moral and social fabric Of
our commonwealth, but that our
State can no longer afford to stand
the burden Of the tremendous iinan-
cisl losses imposed by the presence Of
. large ilitcratc and Scm-iIltcratc
population"
National Wealth and Power Determ-
ined by Education
The richest and most powerful ma
tions are those with the best school
systems, and they have not cstab-
lished good school systems because
they are rich and powerful, but they
are rich ana powerful because they
have esta ablishcd good school systems.
The relation Of Japan's school sys-
tenn to her rcmarkable recent dcvel-
opment and her success over Russia
in the Russo-Japanese War ten years
ago 10 universally admitted. In ia
pan ninety-seven out Of one hundred
inhabitants above the infancy age can
read and write. On the other hand,
Russian leaders themselves admit
that the costly failures Of Russia were
due to the ignorance Of her brave but
untsught army and to the education
Of the Japanese. Again, the recent
collapse Of Russia under the insidi-
Gus spread Of German propaganda
and Bolshevism, is due TO the litter
acy and ignorance prevailing among
the great bulk Of the Russian popuia-
ton. Russia suffers much because she
knows little.
The remarkable differences in these
cannot be attributed to rn-
cial or climatic conditions, for in
like manner in the United States,
France, Denmark, Scotland
and Switzerland, wherever, in fact,
there 10 adequate provision for edu-
cation, there are found successful
great industrial effici-
ency, and large national wealth.
