Florenz Ziegfeld Tears
Down Giant BillbOards
Sixty -Four, Painted Signs and Big
Electric Display To Be Abandoned.
Will Put Money Into Newspapers.

Sixty-four painted Billboard signs
facing highways and railroads near
New York City and advertising the
attractions Of the Ziegeld "Follies'
are to be destroyed at once and con-
tracts for similar forms of outdoor
advertising have been cancelled by
Florenz Ziegfeld, recognized as one OF
the foremost theatrical producers in
the United States.
At the same time Mr.. Ziegfeld has
decided to cancel the contract for the
"Follies" electric sign, one of the
largest in New York City, illuminat-
ing a considerable part of the theatre
cal district. This sign has been main
tanned at an annual cost of $4,000.
Both this sum and that saved by
the abolition Of the painted signs,
which cost about $4,000 annually,
will be devoted to increased advertis-
ing in newspapers.
Mr.. Ziegfeld is convinced that news
paper advertising is far superior to
any other, and at the same time has
come to the conclusion that painted
billboards deface the landscape.

It'd take 5000 million dollars to
bring American schools up to top
notch efficiency in the matter of
housing and equipment. This is
shown by a government survey of
the situation. It's claimed there are
million children who are unable
to attend schools full-time on ac-
count of shortage of accommodations,
and eight millions attending in OBJ
solete buildings.
Mrs. Martha Lee of Olmstead coun-
ty is 100 years old. She has had an
exceptional opportunity to observe the
doings of people. Yet her long con-
temptation of human affairs has IN
duced feeling of ennui. She does
not enthuse about the show nor ex-
press wish for its long continuance.
when you've watched century of
the worlds foolishness you can't help
but become little bit bored" she
says. To which The st. Paul Pioneer
Press adds its comment:
Distinctions often are clearer at
sunset. Politics and national at
fairs and the larger problems that
are agitating the younger generation
are likely to lose their interest" Mrs.
Lee finds. They are the unreal things
of life Except to the few who play
central roles they are objective. They
are the passing show. Ones family
friends, neighbors-the home, work.
shop or farm, and the church, not as
a great institution of creed and con-
troversy but as definite place for
are the real things.
And in these Mrs. Lees interest is as
keen as ever. Thus in the evening Of
life, homely, personal and intimate
things assume their true perspective.
Viewed in retrospect they are life.
And the individual does not have to
measure himself by his accomplish
ment in the great fields Of human con-
troversy but by the yardstick Of as
sociations with his fellows. Success,
in the eyes of woman Of 100, mat
err of kindness, goodwill and bene-
Violence toward ones friends and ones
family, is so much easier to attain.

SCHOOL COSTS
ON INCREASE
COST OF EDUCATION IN COLO.
RADO INCREASES TO 1888
PER PUPIL PER YEAR IN 1928;
COUNTY COSTS VARY FROM
$42 TO $40 PER CAPITA,

The average annual cost per pu-
pill Of education in the public schools
of Colorado for the year ending
June 80, 1928, based upon the num-
Der of pupils enrolled was $3.50,
compared with $s0.57 for the pre-
ceding school year. Enrolment for
1928 was 249,S13, compared with
243,0O4 for 1929. Based on average
daily attendance, the annual cost for
the school year ending June 80, 1923,
was $l19.59, compared with $ll4.SS
the preceding year.
Compilations made by the Colo
rado State immigration department,
from the records of the state super
intendent of public instruction office
and from other sources, show that
the cost of education per pupil in the
public schools has been increasing
rather rapidly in recent years, due
chiefly to increased salaries paid to
teachers and large increases in bond
issues in the various school districts
PRINCIPALLY for the construction of
buildings and equipment. The aver
age annual cost per pupil based upon
enrolment in 1920 was $57.S5, thu
increase since that time being A pef
cent.
The total cost of education in pub
lie schools of the state is now in eX-
cess of $2O,000,000 annually. Bond
interest now amounts to considerably
more than Sl,000,O0O annually and
sinking fund payments are becoming
rather large. While increase in bond
issues has been large within the past
five years, it is apparently being re-
tarded at the present time. Reports
to the state department of public in
struction showed outstanding school
bonds amounting to something more
than S19,O0O,000 in 1928. while re-
ports to the State Immigration de-
partment, which are not yet COM
plete, show that the amount at the
beginning of this year, including
bonds for county high schools, was
above $22,000,000.
Per capita costs of education in
the various counties vary widely.
those based on enrolment ranging
from $40 in Archuleta county to
$50 in Cheyenne county. Based on
a. erage attendance the costs range
from $65 in Ouray county to $227
in Cheyenne county. Many of the
more sparsely settled agricultural
counties have high per capita costs
on account OF the fact that central
lied and consolidated schools have
been introduced very extensively and
the expense of transportation of pu-
pills is rather heavy.

PUBLlCFORUM
PUT YOURSELF In HIS PLACE

Put yourself in his place! It's a
very good rule in all things of life,
when judging friend or brother, not
to look at the question alone on one
side but always turn to the other.
We are apt to be selfish in all our
views in the hustling headlong race,
so just before you censure a man
just put yourself in his place.
It is very hard to be just to an
other, to know the reasons another
may have, how much he has strug-
gled and fought and strived; how
honestly he has tried to live; how
much he has been cheated; how sore
ly tried, or the wrong he was forced
to embrace, and if you would learn
these things the way is clear; Put
Yourself in His Place!
There is many man crushed
down by shame who blameless stands
before God; but whom his fellows
have utterly scorned and made to
pass under the rod; whose soul is un-
stained by the thought of sin. He
would yet find saving grace and
would be praised where he is now
condemned, if you would only "Put
yourself in his place. ID. II. c.

NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION
MEMBER NO. 1902
WAR MATERIAL
NOW BUILDING HIGHWAYS

The congressional enactment that
surplus war material, useful in the
construction of roads, be given to the
several states for that purpose, has
worked out to such good effect that
more than S30O,0O0,O00 worth of
trucks, tractors, shovels, graders,
digging machinery, concrete mixers,
and other instruments useful in road
construction, are now actively at
work in the several states carrying
out the policy of congress to further
road building by the resources of the
nation as well as those of the states.
Proponents of the idea. that the
present federal aid plan, by which
the government gives money to the
states to match their appropriations
for road building, is but the fore
runner Of the day when the national
government will build, own, control
and forever maintain backbone
system of national highways, finds in
this cooperation Of the national gov
ernment but another reason for the
nation to take over the building of
from 100000 to 100000 main north
and south and east and west high
ways.
1t is contended by friends of this
idea in Congress that if the nation
can give valuable property to the
states to build roads, and give ma
tional money to the states to help
them build roads, there is neither
moral, legal, economic or political
reason why the nation can not give
the whole cost of main trunk line
system to the states, thus nationally
binding the states together in clos
er brotherhood for the better unity
and preservation of the whole body
polite.
