/ LEAVING SCHOOL AT IA. 4

Des Moines Capital: The United
States bureau Of education is calling
attention to one Of the direct disastrous
results of the high cost Of living. Chill
lren of fourteen are leaving school
while they are yet in the grades to OBJ
tain employment and add to the family
earnings. A great many more are
planning to leave when their eighth
school year is completed in June, and
they are determined to seek no further
education.
This is a grievous mistake, and one
that will make an impression upon the
future life of the nation. 1t will mean
a less intelligent citizenship, and a con
scquent economic loss.
The bureau of education has found
after careful investigation, that it pays
a boy to remain in school until he is
at least eighteen years of age. The boy
who leaves school at fourteen receives
an average wage Of twelve dollars a
week at the age of twenty-five, compar-
ed with an average wage of more than
thirty dollars a week among the young
men who remain in school until they
are eighteen.
Parents should insist that their chill
dren remain in school until they have
completed the high school course, ut
least. In many cases this will entail Il
sacrifice, and the youths natural am
bition to go to work tO'swell the family
income must be thwarted. But for the
child's sake, and the sake of the future
of our nation, it would be well for the
young men to stay in school.

New York, April 10 A. w. Riley
Tchief of the Flying Squadron of the
Department of Justice, whose cam.
lraign so far has resulted in the con.
of 1O7 profiteers with fines
ranging from $50 to $500 and i'm.
'prisonment from one day to two
years, has uncovered a number of sur.
'prising commodities for which deal
.ers are said to be asking exorbitant
prices. Complaints of alleged ''goug,
ing in almost everything from pickles
to rouge and from lemonade to
whiskey are being reported to Mr..
Riley by New York consumers. One
man who had paid $1.15 to a restau-
rateur for a tiny steak and six small
pieces of French fried potatoes, did
not stop to eat them but CHANGING at
his check, took a newspaper he had
been reading. wrapped up his meal
and brought it to the federal prose-
cu:or.
Some of the letters of complaint
were amusing, others pathetic. All,
however, showed the seriousness of
the present era of high prices. One
indignant citizen wrote: You ought
TO investigate --'s fish market in
Brooklyn. Hes ii modern Jesse
James. What do you think of 90 cents
a pound for salmon and 60 cents fer

some cases $50 to POO per cent. She
suggested a remedy as follows:
do not buy anything in the first
store you visit. Ask the price and, il
it seems at all excessive. say you will
not pay it and walk out. Then go next
door and You may buy it for less. AT
any rate these profiteers need to know
