Their Green Shoes piloted them
safely over the ice to the "igloo," as
Eskimos call their houses, and they
soon found the little low doorway that
looked almost like the opening uf a
beehive. Dropping onetheir hands and
knees the twins crawled inside, find
ing themselves in a sort of hallway
cut out of solid ice, at the far end Of
which was a thick curtain of wa rus

were entirely cut off. AS soon as the
merchandise on the shelves is depleted
below the minimum requirements of
the public. we shall have certain ba-
sis of recovery in trade. 1t also APP
pears that there will be no occasion
for a continuation of the buyers
strike a few months hence. The large
department stores in New York, Bos-
ton and other cities are laying off
employees in anticipation of a general
cut in retail prices. In one prominent
New York store, practically a third
of the entire organization have been
laid off during the past two weeks. 1t
is recognized that retail prices must
be decreased from 25 to 40 per cent
in order to permit capacity operations
and hence the necessity Of curtailing
employment temporarily and rebuild
ing working organizations at lower
wage scales.
The fact that the railroads are re-
stored to basis of operating eff
cheney is a real source of optimism,
for the United States is more a loco
motive" than a ship" country. Our
good fortune in this respect is in
striking contrast with conditions in
continental Europe
"By far the greatest contrast with
the rest of the world, and perhaps our
best cause for optimism, however is
found in the character of our popula
ton. The responsibility for world fl
nancial reconstruction, social stability
and provision for the needy rests large
~ with American business men, labor
and farmers. And the fact that we have
the best educated wage earners, the
most intelligent farmers and the ablest
business leaders in the world argues
that we shall solve our own problems
with skill and vigor during the first
half of 1921 and achieve great success
in assisting foreign countries during
the fall and winter"

CONSTRUCTIVE FACTORS.

In it's monthly discussion of business
conditions and business prospects for
January, the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute letter sees a return of prosper
ity in 1921. The Institute feels that the
American people will solve their prob
lens early this year and will be back
on firm and prosperous foundations
in the near future. The letter says:
"A constructive facor Of a general
nature in the present outlook is the
fact that in business experience it has
always been demonstrated that bad
trade conditions lead TO improved fl
nancial conitions and that the better
ment in financial conditions, in turn,
is favorable to business revival. Easier
credit conditions next summer should
measurably stimulate new construc-
ton work and permit greater liberality
in export credit.
A second factor is that we shall
have undivided responsibility in our
federal government as soon. as the leg
islative and executive departments at
Washington are of the same political
party. This will permit more speedy
removal of present obstacles to inter-
national trade and finance.
A third consideration, peculiar to
America and in contrast with condi-
tions in Great Britain, is that indus
trial unemployment has not meant a
proportional decrease in production.
Large numbers of the unemployed in
New England and in the Middle
West have shifted from factory to
the farm, and this will tend to cheaper
the cost of agricultural production and
encourage the farmers to maintain
production despite lower agricultural
prices. Large droves of negroes have
returned to the south from the indus
trial sections of the north, and this
will relieve conditions in the cotton
belt. Already the price of mules and
the rentals on cotton land have de-
clned nearly so per cent, and with a
large labor supply next spring, the
world need not fear a cotton shortage
even though the price has dropped
more than half
1T should not be overlooked that
ocean rates are rapidly getting back
to a pre-war level. Two years ago
the shortage of ships was so pro-
nounced that freight rates to France
were as high as $50 per ton. Several
months after the armistice they drop
ped to s25. Last month the rate
dropped TO So per ton.
Probably the most important con-
structive factor is found in the small
movement of both raw materials and
manufactured goods Most factories
are working at only 20 to 40 per cent
of capacity. This is below the ordinary
requirements of the American people
even If trade with foreign countries

Retarda alton.

Retardation is that condition or
state in which a child finds himself
when he fails to be promoted to the
known as a repeater and some chill
dren repeat" a grade two or more
times. In every school system there
is a certain percentages of retarda-
ton. If the system is good, from a
hygienic and educational standpoint.
the amount will be comparatively
small; if it is bad, there will be 3
much larger amount Of retardation.
The cost of retardation to the state,
to the parents and to the child is
very great. whether the cost be meas
ured in dollars or in values less mater
ial but equally important
The cost to the state of repeating
the educational effort for the same
child one, two or more times, through.
out the country. amounts to millions
OF dollars each year.
To the parent it means the loss of
one or more years of the child's time
either at home or as a productive
agent elsewhere. When there is pow
erty in the home, or there is great diff
ficulty, as at present, in securing eff
ficient help, retardation is no trifling
matter. In the country the difficulty
of securing help is such that any
farmer would naturally resent condi-
tions that kept his boy in school longer
than should be necessary TO secure
an education
