have been schools on this continent.
In 1918 total Of $919. ,258 was
spent for education in the United
States
4 For 80 years previous TO 1918 about
$14,552, 79G,037 was expended.
/ For the years preceding 1870 IL is
estimated $2,1530OO.0OO was spent.
/ Or a grand total for the SOC years
Of $i6,Gi5,O0O,0 600 Compare this ig.

numbers and finance, NJ. Claxton
pointed out 10 the people the educa-

STANDARDIZATION OF HIGHWAY
DANGER SIGNS.

Standardize danger signs along
American roadwaysi Make them alike
from coast to coast!
So urges the bureau of public roads,
United States department of agricul-
ture. The recommendation is made for
the consideration Of highway officials,
automobile organizations. municipal
officials, and other persons interested
in the observance, of safety week
which began December T.
BY Standardization of all highway
danger signs, the department believes
automobile accidents may be lessened.
Deaths from automobile accidents have
nearly doubled since 1915, and the
rapid increase of such accidents, the
department. believes, can he appreci-
ably checked by the adoption of stand
ard danger signs, easily read and dis
tinctive along American highways.
A tourist at the present time will
see almost as many kinds Of signs as
there are states he visits. Also, in
some cases, the styles OF s5ssA changes
in going from one country to another.
The subject is now under considra-
ton by committee of the American
association of state highway officials.

ARMIsTIcE DAY. 1918 1es1.

The swords were sheathed, the banners
furled
The war is deadl" the nations sang,
Ten thousand ioy-bells rangi
Hosannas rose from every shore.
Peace, peace is our forevernorei"
Before the joyous shouting died
Dark war-clouds gathered far and wide.
Men could not swiftly sweep away
Wars desolating tempesr-sway,
That down the ancient, wrathful years
Has held them captive to their fears.
In minds too young for enmity
There lies the way to make men free.

Let child love child. and wars will

Disarm the hearts. for that is Peace.
