EDUCATION ITS OWN RE.
WARD.

We have already heard a great
deal, and we shall hear a great
deal more, to the effect that edu-
cation pays because il enables a
man to earn more, to hold posi-
tions Of responsibility. to assume
places Of leadership, to receive a
larger share of the good things of
life. ALI this is true, and it is
a valid argument in favor Of the
strengthening our educational in
situations and inducing our young
neople to attend them. But we
should never forget that educa
ton, In a very real sense, is its
own reward. 1t does enable a
man to get. but what is infitely
more Important enables him
to be. 1t gives him a sense of
comradeship with all the great
spirits that have gone before. II
gives him the capacity to enjoy
things that are meaningless to the
nncdneated-art. literature, mu-
sic; it opens to him realms of
thought and feeling that are in
accessible to the ignorant and un-
trained; it enlarges his soul and
Iuickens his mind, so that he can
utterly enjoy the things of the
spirit. The educated man NAV |

The available supply OF money for invest
ments Is limited. The opportunity and de-
mand for new capital is unprecedented
The telephone business must compete with
all other businesses, public and private, for
this money.
The investor will put his money in the en-
terprise which assures him the best return.
To protect the rights OF the public to receive
adequate service, the profits OF the Telephone
Company must be sufncient to attract the in
vesting public.
To do this the Company must earn as much
as ten per cent upon Its investment
The Company's investment is all physical
property: poles, wires and equipment excu-
sively used in furnishing telephone service No
franchise, going value or any intangibles are
included nor is there any bonds. stocks or
other forms OF capitalization involved
The amount OF the Company's investment Is
what 1t originally cost to construct its physf-
cal property; the "bare bones of Its telephone
plant. Practically all Of the plant was con-
suucted at lew pne-war prices.
Its present value today is much greater than
It's original cost
To reproduce the Company's plant at today's
prices. after making full allowance for its pres
ent condition. would cost so per cent more than
the investment
Ten per cent return upon the investment il
less than per cent upon the value of the Com
pany's property
No one questions the right OF the Company
10 earn fair and reasonable return upon the
uaIue Of its property
Measured by the profits earned today In other
business In Louisiana, the return the Com.
pany is asking to earn Is fair and Just proak

THE LONELY" COUNTRY.

When the city man comes out
into the country, he frequently
complains that it is lonely. The
quiet seems oppressive to him.
limid people get the creeps after
dark because of the absolute
silence.
But mere noise does not create
companlonshlp. City life with It's
populous streets, its noisy ma
chinery and chatter of trains and
cars, is constant suggestion OF
the crowd. There are plenty of
people near you physically, but
their souls and spirits are very re
mote. They care nothing for you.
Ii you are sick they will never
think to inquire, least of all to
offer any service.
In the country the neighbours
may be distant. But in any case
of sickness or trouble, you will
find them far nearer than the
stranger inhabitants of the next
city block. 1t is in the country
that people do the kind acts and
help each other over the hard
places.
The telephone give the country
people far more social life than ex-
lists in the crowded city street.
They jump into their automobiles
and attend the neighborhood
functions for many miles around.
They have their societies and
clubs, until it is hard to find an
empty evening. They form firm
friendship, and enter intimately
into each others lives. and these
friendships reach out for many
miles around.
The day has past when the
country was called lonely. Any
people who want friendship will
find it there, and will meet the
and most original and
interesting people to be found in |
modern life. Modern science has
eliminated the distances that sep
arate the spaces Of the country.
A rural neighborhood Of today is
bound together in social intim-
acy that exists nowhere else. -

What have become of the old
