Natlnn,s balance Of Trade"

Balance OF trade" is an expression
used by political economists to indi-
cate the difference between the value
Of the exports and imports OF n coun-
try. This theory Of the balance OF
trade grew out OF the mercantile
theory. which considers the possession
Of gold to be the chief object OF trade.
Hence. there rose the belief that a ma
ton increases In wealth TO the extent
that the money value OF its exports
exceeds that OF imports.

The state of Montana has the best
all-around public school system In the
United States according to the results
Of n comparative study of state school
systems ,Iade public by the Russell
Sage foundation. The results were
computed from data submitted to the
federal government by the states them
selves. The author of the report, Or.
Leonard =. Ayres, served during the
war as chief statistical officer of the
army.
The report assigns second place to
the schools of California. third place
10 those of Arizona, fourth place TO
New Jersey and fifth place to the state
of Washington.
Efficiency Doubled in Half Century.
Other findings OF the report are
that the school system of the United
States as a whole has doubled in eff.
cheney during the last fifty years. hav.
ing an index number or rating of ~
per cent in 1870, and one Of 80 per
cent at the present time.
The figures for the individual states
show that during the last thirty years
the West has been coming up" edu
catiOnally while the East has been
-going down" During this time the
greatest increase has been made by
Utah, and the state showing the great
est falling off is Maryland. In the
Fast the only state that has gained
instead of losing is New Jersey with
an efficiency of 500 per cent.
Territorial Increases.
Among the interesting results Of
the study is the conclusion that the
school systems in the United States
territorial possessions. such as Ha.
wall, the canal zone and Porto Rico.
have higher ratings than those of many
of the As states. That Of Hawaii is
reported better than the ma jority OF
the American states. Ten southern
states have records poorer than that
Of Porto Rico.
The most notable educational change
that has taken place during the fifty
years covered by the report is in the
attendance in high schools. There
are now 100 times as many pupils en-
rolled I'm high schools as there were
in 1870. The number then was 10,
Wt0, and now it is nearly 2,OOO,OOO.
In the matter of teachers salaries
the states show the most diversified
practices The lowest average salary
Is SO per month, for the state o.
North Carolina. while the highest
Is $SS, In California, both being based
