GIVES LIFE TO SAVE HIS SON
Father Reaches River Bank With
Drowning Boy, Then Sinks
From View.

Philadelphia.--Stanley Shirery Of
Westinghouse Village was drowned
In saving the life of his ~12-year-old
son. The man sank in view Of sew
eral persons along the river bank, who
were powerless to aid him. His body
was recovered.
Shlrery and his son, with John Ball
ey OF the same village, went fishing.
While leaning over, the son evidently
became dizzy and fell into the stream.
The elder Shirery plunged into the
stream and reached for the boy as he
was disappearing beneath the surface.
With his arm around the neck OF
his son, Shlrery managed to reach the
bank. Bailey, leaning far over the
stream, took the limp form from the
father. Bailey then reached for Shir.

Stag roads were found to be most
destructive to tires, the sharp points
soon pitting the tread with my holes.
With the test cars wheels a fraction
of an inch out Of alignment, the tires
looked as IL their tread had been sand
papered after only a few hours travel.
Asphalt pavement was found to de-
velop much heat, but little external
wear. Macadam roads In good condf-

and professional, that Is. how much
would be spent on the average for all
the school education of all the chill
dren In public elementary schools and
high schools and In colleges, universe
ties. technical and professional schools
Of all kinds. The range would be from
Sill In Mississippi to $1,274 In Mon
tana, again somewhat too high, and
the average for the United States
would be $40. Illinois, In this third
table, Is put down at S431.
Grand Average Is $5t5.
To this $40 should be added about
$75-probably not quite so much-for
expenditures of private schools Of all
kinds, elementary and secondary, pri-
vate commercial schools, and schools
for the deaf, blind, the feeble-minded
and other special classes Of children.
The grand total of $515 represents
what at the 1918 rate the people Of
the United States would pay on an av-
erage for all the opportunities of edu.
cation, public and private, higher and
lower; for all the difference which
schooling makes between a generation
Of total illiterates lacking In all the
training Of the schools, and the condl-
tion we would have as the result of
a continuation of the 1918 rate Of ex-
penditure for education and training
in the schools.
Since In the figures for the United
States as a whole and those for each
OF the states are Included the ex-
penditures for many who will so

will 20 through the high school, and
for still more who will get more than

AS a matter Of investment and bust

man will ask: Does 1t pay to spend
an average of $515 on the education
of the children Of the nation, or would
1t be better to save this money, close

next generation of men and women
depend wholly Oh their unspoiled and

which they receive from the schools
and colleges, universities, technical

Commissioner Of Education Gives
Figures Of Expenditures
in This Country.
AVERAGE IS S515 FOR PUPIL
Counting Children OF kindergarten
Age There Are More Than Thirty
Million Children of School Age In
the United States.
BY r. p. CLAYTON.

1Tnited States Commissioner of Educa-
tion.)
Considered alone, expenditures Tor
public education In the United States
may seem large. Figures and COM
PARSONS recently published In many
newspapers show how small they are
when compared with expenditures for
other purposes, public and private,
These expenditures are also small
In comparison with the number of chill
dren to be educated. We forget how
numerous a people we have come to
be. In thinking Of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars for public schools, we
forget that there are tens of millions
Of boys and girls to be educated.
Keenly conscious of the size of the
dividend, we forget the size of the
divisor. We forget that there are
In the United States more than TWEEN
ty-seven million boys and girls between
the ages of six and nineteen-that Is,
between the age at which children
In most states enter school and the
age of those who graduate from the
high school having gone through the
grades of the elementary school with
out the loss Of more than m year.
If children Of kindergarten age are
counted In there are lore than thirty
millions.
The Cost.
Just how much do we pay for the
education of these children2
The first Of three tables giving de-
tails show how much was spent on
an average In the public schools Of
each of the states for the education
Of each child Of the generation of
children entering school In the fall
Of 1905 and reaching the normal age
Of high school graduation In 1918.
The figures given In each case show
as nearly as can be computed from re-
ports made to the United States bu-
reau Of education just how much has
been spent to make all the difference
between total initeracy and the lack
Of all school training Of this genera
ton Of boys and girls and that which
they did get In the public elementary
and high schools. May 1t therefore
fairly be taken as the measure of the
value of such education In the minds
Of the people? 1t should be remem

bered that these figures include not
only the cost Of instruction, but also
expenditures for buildings, grounds,
equipment, repairs, fuel and all Incl
dentals, including In many cities and
states books and supplies.
The range Is from $63 per individ-
ual person In Alabama and Mississippi

being almost exactly ten times that
of Alabama and Mississippi. The III

Comparisons.
In a country in which we blithely
acknowledge that all things walt on
education-the public health, material
prosperity and wealth, social purity,
civic righteousness, political wisdom,
the strength and safety of state and
nation, and, inally, the thing for which
all these e~xist--that Is, the individual
welfare and happiness Of the people
we have recklessly ("recklessly' Is
probably the word) spent 1882 per
| child that the attainment of all these
things may be assured. Since less
than 70 per cent of all the money ex-
pended for public schools goes for in
struction, only $175 of the 1852 was
paid for actual instruction. We fire.
quently have complaints that the in
struction and training of the boys and
girls who leave the schools Is not as
extensive and thorough as 1t should
be. What should we expect for $175?
For the generation Of boys and girls
reaching the age of high school gradu-
alton in 1905 the average per capita
was $140. For the elementary and
secondary education of the million of
men and women In the United States
now between the ages of twenty-one
and thirty-ive the average paid was
5000,
An Average.
The second table shows what would
be spent on the average for the edu-
cation of each child OF those (some-
thing more than two and q quarter

of six years in 1918 IL the average ex-
penditures for that year were to be
continued until 1881 when these boys
and girls will have reached the nor-
NAL age of graduation from the high
school. In only one state would the
amount be less than 500, and the av-
erage for the United States would be
$3.50. The figures for Montana ($1274)
are no doubt too large, the number
Of children Of school age In that state
In 1918 being larger than the number

Men and women who toll, either

When they overwork they use up
more energy, and sometimes the

Without rest the blood cannot get
back to normal, SO that it becomes
clogged with waste matter from over

The clogged blood virtually withers
the body. The strained looks on pale

blood depriving the system of life

Practical and experimental work
with both chicks and old hens brings
out the fact that vegetable proteins

and cottonseed meal can take the
place Of animal proteins such as tank
age and meat-scrap in poultry feed

not be replaced unless the vegetable
