SCHOOL COSTS ARE
MOUNTING FAST
Per Capita Cost in the High
School Last Year Was
$4,000. !.

It cost Fatrmont Independent schoo,
district the sum OF $5s.75 to maintain
one pupil in the High school OF this
city during the term of 1888.
These figures based on the enroll
meat OF the High school. Based on
the actual attendance at this school
It cost the district the sum OF $50
to maintain pupil In the high school
for the same period.
This sum is based on instruction
only and does not include cost OF
supervision.
In hne with the increased cost OF
living It cost the district $1o.6S more
per capita during the year 191S-19
than 1t did in like period In the
year 1918. During the last named
term 1t cost per capita the sum OF
$4777. Since the year 1856 the
per capita cost of maintaining a pu-
Pill in the high school has practically
doubled InI that year the cost per
capita based on enrolment was S37.-
SO. In actual figures 1t costs the
past year S21.25 more per pupil than
It did in the year 1856.
Based on attendance Il cost the
district 1897 more per capita in the
year 1888 than 1t did for the sim
ilar period OF 1918. For the last
named period the cost per capita
was S49.73. The cost per capita for
similar period in the year 1866
or four years ago was $3s22 showing
an increase of $23.7s per capita for

What is dollar?" asked Hunt
ing Eye.
people must have some thing
by which they can measure the
value of Articles SO that they may
buy and sell and exchange things
quickly and easily. Among your
people this measure is called wan.
pun and is made of belts of beads.
Anybody Is allowed to make it.
With us it is called money. 1t is
! made of gold, silver and copper,
three metals which are very
scarce.
"The Government makes it. 1t
casts these metals into coins like
the one | gave you. That is cal.
led minting money. No one but
the Government is allowed to mint
money. If everybody were allow
ed to mint money there would be
thousand different kinds of coins
and no one would know the value
of them. So the Government
makes them according to definite
system. 1t makes a number of
different kinds of coins but all the
coins of the same kind are alike
and contain the same amount of
metal.
Each of these different kinds
of coins has different value. The
one having the smallest value is
penny. Ten of these make a dime,
and one hundred of them make a
dollar. That is what you have.
There are various other coins
which you will find out about for
yourself as you use the money"
What is that paper you have in
your hand?"
THAT is paper money. The
Government keeps some of the
gold and silver itself and issues
this paper money in it's place. It
also allows banks to issue paper
money on certain conditions. This
money does not have any gold and
silver behind it. There is no
paper money in amounts lower
