EDUCATION COST
ABLY DISCUSSED
President E. A. Bifge of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin Before
the Kiwanis Club

The cost of education is a live
subject, declared President E. A.
Birge before the members of the
Kiwanis club at the regular luncheon
Wednesday at the Warren.
In 1890, about generation ago,
the education of the young in the
public institutions of the United
States cost in round numbers abou.
$140,O0O,00O and in 1922 the sum had
reached about $1,5O0,00O,O00, or an
increase of ten times In that time
the population had increased from
about go million to 100 million, a
growth of about 70 per cent. The
cost Of education in that period rose
1000 per cent.
This advanced cost has not come
about rapidly but, to be sure, with
greater speed since the war. The
increased cost is largely due to the
depreciation of the dollar-a genera
ton ago a dollar would purchase
three times as much as it does now.
He gave figures to show the in
crease in attendance and cost in this
state. Public education in Wiscon-
sin in 1890 was about $4,000,000 and
in 1922 it had risen to $40,000,000 or
ten fold In the past ten years the
cost has doubled from $20,o00,000 to
SAC, O0O, 900.
The speaker pointed out that just
as the increase in cost has arisen in
the state so has it risen in the COM
munity
Why Is 1t So?
The cost Of education has increas-
ed the same as other public expen-
ditures. Street departments, fire de-
partments, water systems, and other
branches of city government cost
more than generation ago.
Today the business man demands
young men with better education
than formerly. The same is true in
the professions, a young man must
be better equipped. This means there
are more pupils in school. Ten years
ago the minimum wor1 =, TIC public
schools was $40 per y, n now is
SIS 1he same forces which have
caused education to cost more will
continue and education in the future
is bound to cost more than in the
past. 1t is not a matter of senti-
ment, the speaker said, but is the
foundation for a happy and content
ed people. 1t is the only method by
which happiness and contentment
may be preserved. Years ago there
was a frontier for expansion but
there are no more frontiers and the
boys and girls must now find an open
path for life in the region where
they live

about as much news about the
disaster as we have Japan did not
know how badly she was suffering so
kept as much word from going out
as possible We heard a newspaper
man lecture on what he himself saw

earthquake. He said that the Ameri-
can army boats were running in and
out of the two harbors carrying boat
loads of refugees, both foreign and
japanese. They were doing this
against the japanese orders to keep
out There was a large Jap boat
laying in the haTbor that wouldn't
take on a single person for three
days because the captain had not
been officially informed that there
had been an earthquake and had not
yet received orders to take thela
out. He told an interesting li4Ele
story about how the American flag
had been saved from the naval sta
tion in Yokohama
Both the British and American
naval hospitals were upon high hill
overlooking the sea. There were
about 200 foreigners up there on the
hill and as soon as things began
TO turn they had to escape. They .
decided to go down the hill to the
ocean and perhaps get on some boat.
But the hin had caved in and there
was a deep hole they couldn't get
over. They found a rope, tied it to
4 big stake at the top of the hill and
went down by the rope. A good many
had gotten down but there were

back to the British station to try and

Cafeteria Chiefs Idea
Hdlfs Drain on Profits

How efficiency can be used to stop
small leaks and increase large profits
was illustrated recently in downtown
cafeteria where the manager evolved a
way to conserve on toothpicks.
Originally he had sort of slot ma
chine to deal out the toothpicks, but
this brought little good will to his pa
irons, as most of them would resent
being permitted to take only one. Anx-
ious to keep his trade, he corded the
toothpicks in large open glass dish.
This made it handy for his customers
to take a pocketful at one grab and
some of them took enough to start the
furnace fire at home, judging from the
way the cafeteria's stock was depleted.
Then the manager hit upon the plan
of dumping the toothpicks into the
bowl and stirring them up with large
spoon. This gives the customers the
Impression he is liberal, but the tooth
picks tangled condition makes 1t diff
f1cult to get more than two or three

cashiers desk.-New York Sun and

Doctor Tells How to
Care for Childs Teeth

We have been taught to believe that
dentists have much to do with good
teeth. The work of the dentist, how
ever. only begins after the teeth are
here, when they are all formed and In
whatever condition they are developed
In the Jaw, which is the result of the
prenatal influence, whether good or
bad, so far as the teeth are concerned.
1t has been said that clean tooth
never decays. but the teeth must be
sound in the beginning to make this
true. Prenatal influences and care are
very necessary, and also as much care
and attention In regard to diet and
hygiene should be given when the child
is from two to five years old.
The sixth year in a child's life d.
vides the preventive and reparative
care necessary, and the limit should
not be reached before this care Is
given. Care In the kindergarten age
Is better than when In the first grade
at six years, and the nursery or pre-
school time Is better than the kinder
yarten.-Dr. Harold Cross in the Ma
lions Health.

FIRST IMPRESSION

You who have been living for years
in the shadow of the everlasting hills
to the south and east, and the broad
panorama of the beautiful Camas
Prairie to the west and north do not
realize as vividly as a stranger the
picture that the combination will i'm
press upon ones mentality. Altho
hard hit by an unprecedented dry
season, yet in nearly two thousand
miles travel the writer can truthful
ly say that Idaho county looks good
to him.
Soil is the foundation of all per-
manent prosperity and we believe
that the Camas Prairie is second to
none, not even the sedimentary de-
posits of the Mississippi valley.
This our first weeks sojourn among
you has been extremely delightful, !
for we have been met by business
men and others with a wholesome,
cordial handshake that is as diff
ferent from that of the east as our

due to the protracted spell of dry
weather. Some streams which never
before have been known to entirely
cease, during the summer, are re.
ported to be dry this summer. Stock
