condition of the railroads very largely the result of
TOO much politics and it will not help them any to in

BY a sort of common consent among
teachers, pupils and parents. the month
# September in the schools is considered
as a period of adjustment and prepare
tory work, but the month of October
sees. or should see, real progress. The
October record of each pupil should re
ceive accordingly careful scrutiny by the
elders at home.
No business man would belittle the
Importance of a fifth of his capital for a
year. nor allow an employee to waste a
fifth of his time without correction.
Every housewife knows that if she let a
fifth of her duties lapse, in the end she
would be overwhelmed. 1t is only by
keeping things up as she goes along that
she can accomplish her necessary tasks.
The end of October or the first week
of November in most school districts
marks the termination of one-ffth of the
school year. What is the child doing
with the capital invested in him? Is he
keeping up with his duties, or is he slip
ping behind, to be overwhelmed past all
saving later in the year?

one economic authority put it, the ordi-
nary income viii not permit liberal buy
ing at advancing prices"
If prices continue to advance. then,
one of two things must happen. Buying
will fall off so much that manufacturers
and merchants, in order to move their
goods. will have to lower prices again,
which means a new and troublesome pc
Rod of defiation. Or else there will be
another struggle to increase wages and
salaries to keep pace with advancing
prices. which means a repetition of the
same old vicious circle of initiation that
the public hoped it was through with.
The public has had enough initiation
and enough defiation, and wants neither
now. What it wants is settled conditions
of work, income and living costs. The
public, accordingly, is going to be very
impatient Of any, dnjustifed price boosts.
