"A survey has been taken in several
| Wisconsin cities to ascertain the amount
Of money spent by the children attending
the public schools, exclusive Of neces-
sary outlay for books and school ma
terial. The results are shocking. In
Lacrosse twas found that the children
spent for candy, sodas, movies and
other iuxuries SLOT, $500 in one year.
How is the situation in Edgerton? In
Burlington, city about one-third
larger than Edgerton, the school chill
dren from the third grade and up spent
over $500. If the rate of population
is fair basis of computing the prob
| able amount spent, our children spend
about $1,000 annually. Enough in one
| year to pay for one-half the cost of a
new fire truck. In ten years enough
| to put up another school building.
