finely Leona.
Miss Patterson, Miss Allender, and
Mr.. Switzer visited the Clintonville
schools during vacation. They did not

Clintonville has one of the finest
school buildings in Wisconsin. 1t was
built and equipped at cost of two hun
dred thousand dollars.
The village of North Crandon is blaz-
ing trail in Northern Wisconsin. Be-
cause it is difficult in many places for
teachers to secure boarding place, and
for the principal to rent a house, it is
becoming the custom for school dis
tricts to provide house or houses for
the principal and the teachers, as does
a congregation provide parsonage.
North Crandon owns teacherage,
bought last fall BY so doing the peo-
pie show progressive spirit in educa-
tional problems.
s'School Life" published by the u. S.
Bureau of Education, Washington, d. c.,
states chat this country spends annual
ly, as much for education as do all the
other nations of the earth combined.
1t further states that education is not
an expense but an investment.
These assertions are well illustrated
by an article in the last number of the
Literary Digest which contains the
following information:
The per capita wealth in the U. s. in
1900 was ST., 165, in 1910, $1,s6o, and in
1920, 81, TOO.
Before the war we owed other ma
tions SIS, 900, 0O0,O Now other ma
tions owe US $l0, 600, 900, 600.
The bank deposits in this country ex-
ceeds by billions the combined bank de-
posits of the whole world outside of
this country.
The nations wealth in 1900 was $685.,
SIT, 800, IT'S, in 1910, it was$l25. 900, ,000,-
600, and now it is $500, 900, 900, 900.
While the United states has only six
per cent of the worlds population and
seven per cent of the earth's surface
we now contribute one quarter of the
worlds agricultural supplies, one-third
of the mineral products, and one-third
of all manufactured goods.
While the schools cost much more
money today than ever before, the a.
bove figures Indicate that they pay the
public large dividends.
Compare the cost of education abroad
with it's cost at home, and then COM
pare the production and wealth of other
nations with that of the United States
Can you disprove the above statement?
