COT Small FEES
Noted Lecturers Certainly Not
0verpaid for Services.
John 3. Cough, for Instance, Is Said to
Have Received the Huge Sum
of 81 for One Evening.

II wonder what Charlie Chaplin or
some other famous parsonage Of the
, stage or screen would say if he were
offered IL bushels of potatoes or a
ham for an evenings wOrk?'
1t was the old crouch himself, speak
ing to a fellow worker during the
lunch hour in busy downtown office.
according to the Chicago Daily News.
The old crouch had just finished read
ing an article In which present-day
salaries of stage and screen stars were
spoken Of and 1t might be said that
the reading of this bit of news GER
tainly did not tend to brighten up his
gloomy disposition the least bit.
But the fact remains that people
equally as well known In their day
worked an evening for potatoes. ham
and other trifilng amounts, for the old
crouch himself said he knew 1t to he
a fact. One Of his cO-wOrkers asked
to be shown and he was.
In the good old .lyceum days back
in 1852, when John B. Cough was in
his prime, 1t is disclosed that he re-
ceived about 81 lecture, each lecture
taking about three hours.
And 1t can be seen from files OF
newspapers that once at Andover,
N. H., those responsible for the lecture
paid Mr.. Cough with ham instead
of with currency. and the speaker was
apparently satisfied with this fee.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, who was one
| Of the shining stars Of the lecture
world during his day, was glad to ac-
cept $5 as payment for an evening,
while the old crouch pointed out that
one time Henry Ward Beecher was
paid IL bushels of potatoes for an
evening Of his time.
| According to the records, 1t was In
| 1859 when the cost of lecturers started
tor rise. During that year the Salem
lyceum astounded the people OF that
community by paying Daniel Webster
500 for two-hour talk. and 1t
| created mild sensation.
| This doubtless started something
for after that prices continued to rise.
In the 7Us Mark Twain held out for
and received $500 night.
Then Beecher, taking his cue from
Twain, became hOldOut and he con-
tinued to hold out until the ante for
| one night of his services had been
raised to $1,000, this being the very
first $1,000 fee ever paid lecturer
in this or any other country.
Major Pond, accepting the S1'ooO
mark, later contracted with Henry NJ.
Stanley for a series of 100 lectures,
agreeing to pay him $lOo.OOo Tor
them. The major did not lose any
money on this In spite Of the fact that
every other promoter in the country
was convinced Of the fact that he had
become weak minded in his advanced
| wears. The fact that the first Of this
series of lectures given In New York
netted $1,000 proved that the major
was not SO wrong after all.
"It's not right" the old crouch con-
tinued. "Here we work hard week
after week for small pitt t1nce and
these lecturers. actors, fighters and
bali players get thousands OF dollars
for few hours Of fun. There ought
to be law against It,"
About that time the lunch period
ended. much to the delight OF the 9th

and who could not because of the old
crouch and his waiiing

CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF

o western NewsPaPer Union

In the biennial reuOrt Of the Chill

Chapter work is given recognition.
The excerpt, appearing on page II
of the official report, follows:
"To the Red Cross there, must at
this time be allowed every credit for
the impetus they have given to this
Strengthening and stimulating of
local agencies. To their activity is
due the appointment of public
health nurses, of social workers who
are to become permanent factors in
the counties social progress. They
(Red Cross chapters) have been I'M
firing in their assistance to the
children's agents and have often
furnished needed care or treatment
whose cost to state wide families
had appeared prohibitive.
Public health nurses are every
where adding greatly to the facili-
ties for improving the development
Of children. They are often the fac
tor which opens the way for sup
Elemental county aid and the means
of a necessary and continued super
vision of the home. They are work
ing in close contact with such social
agencies as are established and add
ing the very necessary element Of
health knowledge. It is they who
are responsible TO large degrae for
the serving of school lunches, to the
sending of milk into the homes, and
to the insistence upon improved
sanitation. At least one social
worker reinforced by public health
nurse is needed in every community
of the state"
