Why, what's the matter?"
"In the first place | don't believe
in mixing friendship and business.
You and Edith are good friends, but
that doesn't mean that her father
must give me a job. In the second,
most mcG resent their women-folk
interfering in their BUSINESS affairs,
and Edith's father probably isn't diff
ferent from any other man. Ct

EARLY STUDY OF ECONOMICS DESIRABLE

The New York Tribune points out that the present ten
dency to limit the individual productiveness per man els
lowering the standard of living and is leading us straight
back along the trail we have come, where there are fewer
comforts and more hardships for all of us" Those unions
that seek TO make two jobs grow where one grew before,
thus giving employment to more men, do not seem to realize
that they are thus lowering production per man and thus
lowering the standard of living for themselves as well as for
every one else.
Always the standard of living has risen with increased
production per man, as the Tribune says. This is true from
the time when the primitive man had no comforts and mere
ly struggled against cold, hunger, thirst and violent death.
AS civilization has advanced and man has been able to pro-
luce more than merely enough for his own needs the stand
ard of living has advanced.
Never have the problems of economics so affected the
average man as they do today, yet how utterly ignorant the
average man is of those problems. The subject of economics
Is usually left until the upper classes in the high school or
college are reached so that the vast numbers of boys and girls
who leave school before reaching high school, particularly
sbe higher classes in the high school, never get a chance to
understand this subject. Yet, as we are living today, a gen.
eral knowledge Of the economic laws is just as essential to
the average citizen as is a knowledge of arithmetic and
grammar.
We are aware that the text books on economies as now
prepared are intended for the more mature mind and it
would be hard for a pupil in the grades of the average public
school to grasp the subject as thus presented. But because it
us so essential that the average man and woman, especially
fbose who quit school early, understand the economic
laws under which he or she is working, it would seem that
an elementary text book should be prepared so that the first
principles of economics could be taught and understood at
least in the grammar school, the subject to be gone into in
more detail as the student advances in the high school and
toward the college courses.
Then, when a boy or girl leaves school early to go to
work he or she will know that there is such a thing as a nat
aral law of supply and demand and will have some idea of
now it operates. The effect of production on our standard of
living will also be understood in a more or less general way.
Xit& such a knowledge there is reason to believe that the
great gulf that now exists between capital and labor will
have been removed to some extent and both sides will be
able to get closer together for the advantage of all con-
cerned.
Our point, then, is that the subject of economics should
be taught in elementary form at an early age in school so
hat every citizen will have some general idea of the natural
laws that so vitality affect his w~ell-being and under which
we all must live.

Daily Letter by Frederic J. Haskin

Occasionally the doctor will for
get to remove this apparatus and
there are some interesting reactions
The Mysterious Penny
One man wrote back to the doc-
tor to say that the penny had come
off. He added that he had worn it
two weeks and it had done him no
good whatever. Another patient, a
woman, returned the coin in some
embarrassment, believing that she
had somehow taken a coin that
did not belong to her. She explain
ed that the doctor would no doubt
be as surprised as she was to know
that a penny had in some mystic
rious way got attached to her. She
supposed it must have happened at
the hospital, and as she was sure it
did not belong to her she wished to
return it.
X-rays are now recognized as a
successful means of removing tom
sils and Of treating goiter and dis
eased tissues in the nose and throat.
Before this method was put into
use there was always difficulty in
getting the imMrant mother to have
her child operated on for diseased
tonsils.
Understanding no English, and
alarmed by the explanation of in
terpreters the mother was fearful
that her child's throat was to be
cut. The promise that her sons
health was to be improved by an
operation performed at the expense
of the city did not reassure her.
With the X-ray such cases are
being handled easily. The rays are
