COSTS $40 A YEAR
FOR EVERY PUPIL

At a meeting held by the River
side Woman ; Club in observance of
Education Week. Il. T. Clark, presi-
dent of the State Board of Eduea-
tiou. gave some interesting statistics
ON the school system Of California.
The cost of maintaining the syS-
Ten is $3.50. 1000 08 wear or an aver
age of SO per pupil In 1918, at
Tendance in the various classes Of
schools was: kindergarten. $4,000;
elementary, 422, GOO; secondary, CO.
coo: all schools, $4,000 In 1922
the figures are: kindergarten, TO-
00n; elementary. 81 600; secondary,
227. 200: total. S60.00 This final
does not INCLUDE the stu
dents Of the extension service, which
would swell the total TO 100000.
Mr.. Clark stated that politics and
the school system are completely dl-
yerced insofar as appointments to
poSitiuus are concerned. The mem
hers of the state board are laymen;
that is, there are no paid educators
on the board. This was an expert
ment but has proven to he Satisfac-
tory. and many other states are fol
lowing the same plan.
Tn the matter of positions in the
system, women and men
are paid the same salaries for the
same ability and work. Many of the
highest positions in the system are
held by women, and the state board
itself is composed of three women
and three men.

All this happened about forty years ago, at

Meanwhile the influence Of pictorial art was

When "Vonity Fair" Died
On A. Wards Hands

To seek the origin Of vogue that seems TO
alien eyes so astonishing we must 90 back 20
the Civil War, when newspaper humor, taking
advantage Of the stirring events Of that time,
obtained It's earliest recognition as factor
Of no mean Importance in influencing public
opinion. Artemus Ward began his career on
"The Cleveland Plain Dealer" and Petroleum
V. Nasty and Orpheus c. Kerr also were Of
that caste. Wards work attracted so much
attention that he was made the editor Of
''Vsnity Fair" one of the earliest Of New
Yorks satirical journals, in which post he re-
rnained until, as he expressed it himself, the
paper died in his hands" The writings Of
Kerr and Nasby we're printed in book form
and gained great popularity.
Newspaper humor seems 20 have lost its
vogue for a time after the Civil War but it
sprang into new life early in the 70's, when
journals in all parts Of the country sought to
obtain nationwide circulation by means Of
their comic column. "Ths Danbury Comm
News" "The Yonkers Statesman" "The Bur
lngton Gowa) Hawkeye," "The Detroit Free
Press"-not one of these but had its funny
man whose jokes were copied from one end
of the country TO the other.
