FATE OF SCHOOLS
KNOWN BY APRIL |
Better Results Promised From Now On
in Collection 20 Keep the Schools
Open.

Now that the necessity for the APP
peal of the board of public instruction
TO the patrons of the schools of the
county for funds to continue the
schools for one month is becoming
more thoroughly understood. better re-
suits are promised from now until
April L. by which date it must be
known to the board whether or not the
patrons OF the school are going to make
full response to the boards appeal and
thereby guarantee full terms for all
OF the schools Of the county.
Collection Shortage.
A representative of The Journal
called upon Judge Beggs, chairman of
the board, at his office yesterday af-
ternoon mad asked him for statement
with reference to the bearing upon the
school situation in the county of the
shortage of tax collections for the
present year and a number of years
passed, and he summed the situation
up as follows:
"There has always been a shortage
in the collection of taxes, and for sew
eral years past the collections for all
purposes. including, OF course, taxes
applicable to school purposes, has av-
eraged Is per cent short. And the
shortage In collections for the present
year, due to the unusual stringency of
money, promises to and probably will
be. considerably greater than the av-
erage OF the past several years. Hence
the greater the necessity to which the
board was placed Of making its appeal
to the patrons.
Continued the Judge: IF all of the
taxes assessed each year were collected
in full, the school funds would of
course be thereby increased and the
board would be In a better position to
properly maintain the schools.
Trying Problems.
In concluding the interview. Judge
Beggs said: The problems which the
board has had to meet have been very
trying, indeed, and il certainly is to be
regretted that so many misunderstand-
ings OF the situation have come about
since our appeal to the patrons was
made.
However, l really think that we are
better understood now and that the pa
irons OF the schools are going to enter
heartily into the movement OF keeping
the schools going for the additional
month by the only method possible for
doing so. which is by supplying the
necessary funds for the maintenance
of the schools for the last month of
the term"

A GREAT BUSINESS
HAS A HUMAN SIDE
Magnificent Benefits Bestowed by
Small Policies of Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company.

The business statement of the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance company for
1921 contains interesting matter not
generally found in the statement of a
financial corporation. It relates to the
human side of a great business. The
company's assets are more than one
billion. one hundred and fifteen million
dollars and it's policies outstanding are
more than twenty-five and a half mill
Ions Many people hold more than one
policy and the best estimate Of the
company is that this number of poll
cies insures, in round numbers, nine
teen million individuals. As over TWEEN
ty million OF the policies are the So
called Industrial, on which premiums
are collected weekly by agents who call
at the policy holders homes, this gives
to a company with the financial
strength of the Metropolitan an oppor-
tunity for health and welfare work.
The statement published shows how
the company has accepted this oppor
tunity.
Small Policies.
For many years the company's prin-
cipal business was Tndustrial-sman
policies generally held by the working
men OF America and their families. But
lately the so-called Ordinary insurance,
where the premiums are paid quarter
ly, semi annually or annually, has so
increased that this branch of the bust
ness now exceeds the Industrial In
amount.
Nursing Service.
In accepting the opportunity for

to Industrial policy-holders so that
last year it was effective in 2,s00 cities
and towns and the nurses made more
than $4,000, 900 free visits. Arrange

Health Pamphlets.
In making their weekly calls to COL
lect premiums, the 10000 agents dis
tributed booklets and pamphlets deal
ing with health and disease, telling in
simple language how to avoid prevent
able diseases and what to do If the
policy holders are sick. More than
twenty-five millions of these pamph-
let's were distributed in this way last
year. In connection with the Society
for the Prevention of tuberculosis, the
company is conducting a great expert

CHRISTMAS

The trees have sent their greetings out,
All stamped in crimson gold and brown;
The winds have carried them about,
And scattered them through every town.
The summer flowers have gone to sleep,
The crickets sang their lullaby
The lonely woods in silence deep
Lift cold bare branches to the sky.
But, in the thcket by the stream
The bittelsWeet is glowing red
And partridge berries nod and dream
Tucked in their cosy winter bed
The cedars frs and spruces fill
With spicy fragrance all the air.
While happy thoughts of Christmas thrill
The hearts of people everywhere.
We think Of little stockings hung
Beside the fire on Christmas night
And of the glad sweet carols sung
While Christmas stars were shining bright.
And in each heart candle burns
To light the Christ Chid's earthWard way;
While Faith her face toward Heaven turns,
To greet Him on His natal day.

LONDON, April 2.--Although the
long awaited business revival seems
little nearer, the steady advance has
continued in the price of British gov
ernment securities and other gilt-edged
issues. This advance has now reach ed
tne point where only two war issues
yield more than per cent-the 5 and
the 31a per cent loans, both comparnl iau
lively short-term issues. The f2,0OO.-
100000 3 per cent loan which was is
sued at 80 touched 90 this week. There
also has been a rush to buv SAVINGS
certificates before the April price ad-
vance. AS these pay 5A per cent, with
principal and interest guaranteed bT
the government, it did not particularly
pay the Treasury to continue to issue
them at lower price, but the influx
Of cash for these certificates proved a
welcome relief to the excheouer.
The ending Of the Treasury's fiscal
year yesterday found income tax paw
ments far below budgetary estimates.
but customs revenue, motor taxes, es-
tate duties and sundry miscellaneous
receipts exceeded the treasurer's fore
cast. 1t is now announced that the now
budget will be introduced in the House
of Commons on May /. 1t will incor
porate those recommendations of the
Geddes committee which were accepted
by the government, and there is still a
general hope that the income tax NAV
be cut 16 per cent.
The money market during the week
has been steady, and no pronounced ac-
tivlty developed among foreign ex-
changes, the franc and the dollar re-
naming more or less stationary, while
the mark continued erratic. There was
a dearth Of new commercial issues, but
on Friday the Commonwealth of Aus
tralia offered a 95,o0o,000 5 per cent
loan at sc for subscription. These
terms reflect graphically the course
the money market has taken since three
months ago the same government float
ed an equally large loan at 81 on 6
per cent basis. This issue natures

BERLIN, April with the storm
caused by the arrival Of the Allied
Reparation Commissions note on
Germany's moratorium application sub
siding into q state Of calm, and with
the renewed hope that Genoa, after all,
may bring Germany some sort of sub
stantial international loan, the close of
the week saw a considerable weakening
IN foreign exchange On the Berlin
boerse. At the moment of writing the
mark has recovered the ground lost
during the past week, and is now being
quoted at 292 to the dollar. Business
on the Boerse again has assumed a
more or less calm aspect, although ac-
companied by distinct reserve arising
out of the uncertainty of impending
developments, particularly the Du Bois
threats In Paris regarding the applica-
tion for new military sanctions in the
event Germany refuses to meet the
conditions Of the Reparation Commits
sion
While the fate of German exchange
remains uncertain, additional evidence
is piling up showing that German
prices are rapidly approaching the
world level. This is noticeable partic-
ularly in coal, iron, steel, grain and
nonr. These arc now but slightly be-
low the American scale. Imported ar
ticles already have reached that level.
IL this process continues the 100000
American business men and travellers
expected here this summer will no
longer find Germany fairyland of
prices. Wheat, for example, Is selling
on the Berlin Produce Exchange at
S142 bushel, rye at $102 and wheat
flour at S5.77 barrel. Prices Of other
produce articles have undergone sim
ilar changes. The price increase has
been emphasized particularly within
the past few weeks, wheat -four, rye
and coal showing advances of more
than 60 per cent. With the bread sub
sides eliminated from the budget bv
the government, the rising price Of
bread threatens to produce extremely
unpleasant consequences.
Clothing prices have increased more
than 100 per cent, while furs-and many
other articles are above the American
figures. The large increases in iron
and steel prices set by the German
iron syndicate are already having a
corresponding effect on the cost Of pro
duction. Pig iron is now quoted at
nearly 50 ton, representing an ad-
vance of 25 per cent. Foundry pig iron
is selling at close to $50 a ton. Other
kinds Of iron are quoted at similar fig
ures. Rolled iron products have been
boosted nearly 80 per cent These are
now quoted at approximately $50 ton,
with manufacturers planning to abolish
hxed prices, and insisting on figures
prevailing at the time of delivery.
