THE LAZY FAILURES

"A QUESTIONABLE sent out by
certain school authorities to
$500 students who failed in one
or more subjects during the
first school term revealed the
fact that II per cent of the fail
ures were due to laziness on the
part of the student or to lack of
interest in the subject.
Ten per cent of the students
questioned failed because of
absence or illness. Only two per
cent claimed unfairness on the
part of the teachers. OF the re-
naming number some failed to
answer. and others laid their
failures to outside interests
which crowded the period of
some study and distracted the
mind in school.
1t is comment on the cause
teresting to parents and teach.
ers alike. There is a hay notion
current that most failures could
be prevented if it could Just he
known what caused them. Here
is the desired information sup
piled by the students them
selves.
A similar investigation of
conditions under any school sys-
tenn would be valuable and
should open the door to timely
and effective cooperation be-
tween the school and the home
to reduce the preventable fail
ures to the vanishing point.

Washington. D. c., Aug. 21.-I
For several years the average
American family has been fight
ing and seeking to evade the en-
croachments of the high cost of
living, has been economizing and
pursuing the elusive bargain
sale, mendinG, cleaning, patch
ing and hoping for better days,
when a dollar might be expected
to buy a dollars worth of food
or clothing. Some material de-
creases have s-oused a hope
which the pending tariff bill is
destined to utterly destroy. The
cost of living, which has been
somewhat reduced, is about to
take a turn upward. In the
things we eat this will hardly be
noticed, for the producer of
things which grow out OF the
ground will get no more for his
products by reason of the tariff,
but in all of the manufactured
articles the increases will be con-
siderable. For every group and
class of manufacturers there will
be a tax levied on one class
the consumers. These unfortu-
mates, in their capacity as con-
sumers, will receive no benefits
themselves, but will have to con-
trib ute to the in C r cas-
ed income of every man benefit,
ted by this special class legisla
tion. The new high tariff rates,
always destructive in their past
history, will again impoverish
the buyers and thus take the
market away from the sellers,
who will consequently be unable
to buy from manufacturers their
wares for which there has come
q diminished market, and when
these things befall, loss labor is
required in the factories, hence
general unemployment, hard
times and all of the miseries at
tendant thereon.

Caraway's resolution to investi-
gate their pocket.book interest
in the legislation they are fasten'
ing on the people. It would not
be so serious burden if the in
crease in the cost of articles
made Of wool should end with
the tax of 33 cents per pound,
but the truth is that it only
begins there. After the wool is
secured it becomes subject to a
sliding scale of increased tariffs,
each intending to fiatten the
manufacturer who puts it
through the progress, so that the
carder, yarn manufacturer, cloth
weaver and clothing maker all
get their slice out of the dimin-
ished dollar of the public. The
tariff protection of the clothing
manufacturer alone is fifty per
cent. so that by the time the
suit of clothes gets to the dealer
it is calculated by Senator Walsh
of Massachusetts, who is lin
charge of the wool schedule for
the Democrats, that about five
dollars will be added to the cost
of a suit. Of course the dealer
bases his selling price on the
cost to him, which involves an
other raise, depending on what
percentage he adds for over
head and profit. On heavy
overcoat the increase will be con-
siderabIy greater. On a wom-
ans suit or coat it will be al
most as great.
The wool tariff which will add
about forty millions to the pock-
cts of the wool growers will take
from the pockets of the wool
users, in tax and profits to man
ufacturers in addition to the tax
that goes into the Treasury.
about $4,000, 900 per year.
This is enough to stagger the
man who is lying awake nights
trying to figure out a way to
make ends meet. It is we'll to
remember that this new tax is
laid under the excuse Of increas-
ing the prosperity of class of
men already prosperous, the big
wool growers of a few western
States. incidentally and through
the courage of Senator Caraway
10 exposing the personal inter.
ests of half a dozen western Re-
publican Senators, it develops
that the political control of these
States the Senate seats which
they hold and hence the control
of the Senate itself, are all in.
volved in this new inquity, a 33
cents duty on wool.
How the consuming public
will view this new tariff bill, ev-
cry schedule of which contains
as great scandals as that involv'
ed in the wool tax, will hardly
; have time to make itself evident
at the November election, as the
: rates will hardly be in operation
before that time and consequent
ly the burdens will not be realiz'
{ ed, but following the passage Of
high tariff bills in the past tht
public reaction has been swift
and effective for the time. But
