DISGRACEFUL EDUCATIONAL
FACILITIES In EMPIRE STATE
az The Federated Pressl

New York. New York is the rich
est state in the whatever that
may mean. For two years an invesi-
CATION has been in progress Of its rur-
al schools an investigation BY a JOINT
committee Of exceedingly conservative
organizations: The Farm Bureau fed
Grafton, the Dairymen's league, the
State Grange. the State College Of
Agriculture. the state department Of
education, and the State Teachers as
ISOLATION. In its report, just completed,
tae following facts are set forth about
the country schools of the state:
Ninety-five percent of the one-teach-
er school buildings are Of the ''box-car' 7
type, most of them with insufficient
light. Eighty-five percent of them are
heated with ordinary stoves which
scorch the children sitting near them
and leave those in the corners SILVER
ing.
IN OF percent OF the schools the pu-
pills have to use common toweL-that
is, one towel in common. Five percent
have no towel at ALL.
The average grounds of these coun-
try schools contain little more than a
quarter Of an acre. When pupils play
running games they must use the road
or neighbours field.
The average teachers salary in these
one-teacher schools in l920-l92l was
1897. For this, the teacher in almost
all cases not only teaches but does
nearly all the janitor work, sweeping
the floor daily and in many cases do
ing the scrubbing. The teacher usually
lives with the family of some of her
pupils and helps the housewife with her
work for an hour or so every day.
One cut of four of the teachers in
the one-teacher schools is not old
enough to vote.

SURPRISING CRAFTSMANSHIP
lBv The Federated Pressl


New York. Boris Bakhmeteff, am
bassador extraordinary-the most ex-
traordinary in the annals of nations
and plenipotentiary from nowhere, has
gone. Wrapped to the last in the cloak
Of diplomatic immunity lent him by the
United States to enable him to avoid
answering questions about American
taxpayers money before senate com
,mittee,, he stepped upon the gang
plank of the steamship Berengaria,
bound for Europe, smiling his self-com-
placent smile.
And few minutes later he was gone
leaving unanswered a great many ques-
tons Senator Borah and other senators
would like to have had him answer
about the $187.000,O00 the United
States lent to the Kerensky government,
and which Bakhmeteff handled during
the more than four years here as the
representative of a government which
did not exist.
Bakhmeteff had nothing to conceal.
The county had been assured of that
repeatedly by Secretary Hughes. And
SO sure was Hughes of it that he took
pains to see that Bakhmeteff should
enjoy diplomatic immunity from a
Senate summons until he should have
landed in lFuroDe.
When Bakhmeteff resigned as am
.bassador, it will be remembered, he adj
dressed his resignation" to Secretary
Hughes, and was SO ungrateful to Ke=-

them he was relinquishing the custody
Of their affairs here.

BIG PRoFITEERING
(Bx The Federated Pressl


Washington. Porter ]. McCumber..
United States senator from North Da--
kota and chairman Of the senate fin
ance committee, has given a practical
demonstration Of prevalent profiteering.
in imported goods and submitted proofs.
thereof to the senate.
The senate knew there had been
some profitcering during the war. tt
knew the profits of some concerns had
ranged as high as 1000 percent. That
was proved by statistics given by the
treasury department. The senate
learned with some surprise, however.
that similar profits we're still being en-
joyed in some quarters.
Senator McCumber did not prove his
case with statistics. He brought the.
very goods upon which he said profits
ranging as high as 1000 percent had
been made by importers and depart.
ment stores into the senate.
He held up straw hat of foreign
make that had been purchased in New
York by one of the committees agents
The agent had paid 81 for the hat The
importer had paid the foreign producer
SO cents for the hat. On the hat the
importer received profit of 479 per-
cent.
He held up jack knife. The jack
knife had cost $8.40 cents retail The
foreign producer had been paid 81
cents for the jack knife, representing
a profit of 1880 percent.
He held up a carving set. The cary
ing set had cost SIS in this country.
The foreign producer Of the carving
set had received $l.86. The profit on
the carving set was 706 percent.
And SO he went on thru the list, hold
ing up one article after another and
showing profits on each of many hun
dred percent.
Here are some of the prices paid for
foreign articles purchased in this coun--
try and the prices paid for the same.
articles to the foreign producers:
Kitchen table knives (each), retail
price, 30; foreign price .0234.
BARRIERS clippers, retail, 85; for
eign, .13.
Linen napkins (dozen retail $685.
90; foreign, 1920.
Light bulbs (each), retail, 80; for
eign, .05.
Watches, retail, 9.45; foreign, LOO
Gloves, retail ZOO; foreign III.
Shears, retail, 2.65; foreign, is.
Work baskets, retail, 7.54; foreign,
l.26.
Canes. retail, $50, foreign, 10.
The point of Senator McCumber's
was not to prove that there was
unconscionable profiteering in imported
merchandise. Indeed, he said he had
no objection to any persons buying as
low as he could and selling as high as
he could. That was human nature.
What he did object to was the criti-
cism by the interests that were making
these profits of the high rates carried
in the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill.
His whole obecjt was to prove that i'm
porters were quite able to pay out Of
their profits the 90 and 100 percent
rates it is proposed to place upon i'm.
ported articles.
That he did prove-and he proved
a great deal more in the process.
