American Education
National Wealth and School Expendi-
 lures.

lures.
 Have expenditures for public schools increased more rapidly than the wealth of the country?
 No, declares Dr. Edwin R. A. Selig- man, professor of political economy, Co., lumbia university. He says: While 1t is true that the educational budget has increased more rapidly than the popu- lation, 1t Is not true that it has in- creased more rapidly than the wealth of the community. On the contrary, 1t may be affirmed, with little fear of coa- tradiction, that from the economists point of view the growth of prosperity in the United States as a whole has been so enormous as to make the pro- portion of educational expenditures co real wealth of the community actually smaller than 1t was ip the past de- cades,"
 If educational expenditures have no. increased more rapidly during the past few decades than the wealth Of the country, the educational returns have been great indeed Since 1900 the per cent of children to IS years of age en- rolled in the schools has increased from 72.4 to 77.S: the average length of school term from IA to 162 days; tho average number of days attended by each person to IS from 72 10 g4.3 the average number of days attended by each pupil enrolled from 99 to IA the per cent Of children in high school from 3.3 to 10.2. Then, too, the type of education should be considered. The teaching Is better; the courses of study have been improved; the individual diff ferences of children are better provided for especially in the city schools; vo. cational courses have been added; the health of the school child is better cared for; hundreds of evening schools fol adults have been opened, and so on With all these facts can anyone say the efficiency of the schools has not kept pace with the increased budget?

FOR WINTER FLOWERS

A fascinating way in which to force bulbs is to grow them in water, Chi nese lilies, hyacinths and paper white narcissus being especially responsive to this method.
 Preparations are simple. First put pebbles in a dish of water, keeping the water slightly below the tops of the stones. A few small bits of char coal will aid in keeping the water sweet. Place the bulbs on. the pebbles and set away in a cool, dark, well ven tilated closet until the roots get a good start and the leaf-spikes are about an inch high. Then bring to the light and proceed as carefully as with trench grown plants.

AN ATTRAcTIcE IDEA

Large drawers in the dressing chest are all very well for bulky articles, but hairpins, handkerchtefs, etc, have a habit of disappearing into the will karness and never being found when in a hurry. Try this plan, and a safe place will be found for trifles. Cut a top drawers in your chest, and on it sew three pockets with the tops gath cred by elastic, so that they do not gape open. When this is complete, tack the strip into the front of the drawers, and you will have resting place for all the odds and ends which are apt to go 8stray.

Ontario for many years has been

sible. This city has the most ex-
pensive water system is this section.
Il was built at a time when costs
were almost at a peak. Further
more this system serves the most
widel scattered community in the

And yet, in spite OF these facts.
Ontario has been endeavoring to de-
liver water to the people OF this city
at a cost OF less by one-third OF that
charged by any OF its nelghbors.
The very statement OF the condI-
tlon shows the utter impossibillty OF
accomplishing this. It also points

I'VE RETORT CouRTEous

A rancher who read last weeks
Argus editorial Oh the coming of the
Jap to Malheur county, and who
while in general agreeing with the
argument therein, answered the Ar
gus thus:
1T will be all right and consist
ent for the men In the cities and
towns to object to the farmers rent
ing their land to the Japs, when they
as business men. stop renting down
town property to Jap business men,
Jap restaurants and the like"
The Argus believes that argument
is well taken. II is consistent, and
the Argus subscribes to that com
pletely.
There is no denying the fact that
the standard Of living Of the Jap
and the whlteman is not the same,
and II does not require any consld-
erable thought to realize that In
competition between the two races
such as would result with the aug
menting OF the Jap population In
this section. only ono OF two things
can happen: Either the japanese
standard OF living would have to rise
to the American standard or the
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1922-01-12

American standard lower TO that Of
the Japanese.
There is ample proof extant that
the tendency in all such cases is for
the higher standard to be lowered,
rather than the lower to be raised.
That being true, we wonder II the
men who are so anxious, and who
are renting their land to Japs and
seeking other Japs to come to this
section, do for themselves desire to
see the American living standards
lowered7
Further admitting the validity Of
the ranchers' objection that the city
man has no right to object to the
ranchers renting to Japs as long as
business men rent to them in the
cities, is II not true that the business
men who rent to Japs, would them
selves object II colony OF Japs
we're to move into their own neigh
borhood and they had TO live sur
rounded by them2 We believe they
would.

STILL FIGHTING EoR EAIR

Portland boosters for the 1926
Fair have not yet given up the
ghost. There is no reason they
should, II they have the courage OF
their convictions and are sincere in
their belief that the Fair will be an
immense benefit to Portland. II
the boosters are determined they
will secure the money in Portland
and in some of the other commun-
tiles nearby where the benefits will
be sufficiently direct to be recog-
nized.
However, they should be con-
vinced by this time that the people
OF the state are in no humor TO con-
slider taxation scheme to put
on the show.
However the people may feel
about the Fair, there is certainly no
excuse for the ohildishness with
which some of the people OF the
state are attacking Portland. Lord
knows II has been abused enough.
In the first place. the people Of
the up state. and that includes
Eastern Oregon, should remember
that n large delegation OF citizens
went to Portland and told them that
tho people OF tho state were for the
Fair. They may have honestly
thought so, but that does not change
the facts, and the people OF Portland
had every reason TO believe that at
least there was something In their
declarations. and acted accordingly.
In the second place. the people OF
Eastern Oregon and OF the william

science remember that II was Multi

OREGON RECEIVES BENEFIT
OF NATIONAL GUARD FUND
States Guard Has Shown Large In
crease During Past year
Many New Units Planned

Oregon has derived profit Of
$119,077 in the operation of Its Ma
tional Guard during the past year,
according to an annual financial
statement issued by Geo. A. white,
Adjutant General of the State. This
was accomplished under the Joint
Army partnership with the Federal
Government through which the
United States Treasurer distributed
In Armory payrolls and camp pay
among 2400 Oregonians located in
twenty Oregon cities the sum OF
S199, ,052.50, the total cost of the
State OF Administration and upkeep
being s79,975.
This years profit was nearly four
times as much as was derived from
the Governments payrolls last year,
due to the increase In size OF the
State service and success in meeting
all Government requirements for pay
OF the Oregon citizen soldiers. In
addition TO the $4,000 received in
cash the State secured the award OF
Federal property amounting to S257,
217.29.
Towns receiving bundles OF U. s.
Treasury checks for drill and camp
pay of citizens include Ashland,
Medford, Marshfield. Newport Toll
edo, Roseburg, Eugene, Albany, Sa-
lem, Portland, Independence, Cor
wallis, Dallas, McMinnville, Silver
ton, Woodburn and Lebanon.
Companies are now being formed
at Cottage Grove. Hood River and

for other Oregon towns as soon az
further Federal appropriations are
made. as follows: Astoria, Tilla-
nook, Hillsboro. Forest Grove, PEN

agency OF high protective tariff.
II that was iustificable and there

We cannot see the logical differ

I'VE need the protection for Am

can pay high wages TO their en-
ployees who can then pay high

the manufactured products which
are made by high paid American la

crate state authority.
