PLATE GLASS INSURANCE
BUSINESS fine this YEAR

formerly existed, the companies lost
money and the field men lost bust
ness, unless they could make their
companies lose still more money.
In the beginning of this movement
seven years ago much doubt was ex-
pressed that it would be successful but
after this period of seven years has
passed we find everything running
smoothly with the expectation that
1925 will be as satisfactory to all con-
cerned as 1923 and 1924.
DEPEND ON MARKET.
1t is always difficult to prognosti-
cate and no one can say exactly what
will happen in 1925. In plate glass
insurance more than in any other kind
of insurance, We are dependent upon
the state of the market. How the
market price of glass increases during
the coming year, of course, would nat
urally have an effect upon the rates,
as one of the principal factors of rarc
making in plate glass insurance is the
cost of replacement. Plate glass in
surance is more like a commercial bus
mess than any other kind of insur.
ance that | know of. In other words,
the plate glass insurance companies
are practically in the business of sell
ing glass requirements. In very few
instances do they pay any indemnity
If break is reported and the glass
is put in and the company pays the
bill to the glazier, the assured has no
interest in the cost of the glass, he
simply wants it replaced and replaced
ct once.
An important advantage to the as
sured in carrying plate glass insur
ance is to get prompt service and this
he can obtain better through the in
surance company than if he makes
any attempt TO deal directly with the
glazier himself, as in such case be
can seldom get the prompt service
that he requires and would nearly
every time pay an excessive charge.

BY w. F. MOORE

The outlook for 1925 for plate glass
insurance is quite encouraging. Dur
ing the whole of 1924 we have had no
violent fluctuations in price so that
the indications are that the results D.
the years business will be at least as
good as 1923, which came out exact
normal on the basis of the new Acqui
sition cost rules. The volume of bust,
ness in 1924 i expect will be some
what in excess of 1923, which was
about fifteen and a half millions; OF
this, however, i have 20 positive
knowledge until the reports come in.
When it is considered that seven
years ago the total business of the
country was between five and six mil
lions in plate glass insurance and the
whole bushes was looked upon as a
little side-line, its growth TO nearly six
teen millions indicates clearly that Il
field may be opened for a consider
ably more important branch of the
business.
STANDARD RATES.
This large increase in business is
indeed due to a great extent to the
stabilizing effect or standard policy
rates and regulations and while these
things are sometimes burdensomc, or
appear to be TO the agent and solicitor.
in the long run they are a distinct ad
vantage not only TO the company but
to the agent, solicitor and broker.

an active campaign to organize the
hundreds Of cigar makers in the fac
tories Of this city, where the most un-
speakable, intolerable conditions are
prevailing.
Many cigar manufacturers who
have operated union shops in San
Francisco and San Diego have moved
to this city because they were told
by the chamber of commerce that
Los Angeles is the white spot of the
country, and that here they need not
fear to exploit workers freely with
out the interference Of the Cigar
Makers Union.
However, organized labor in gene
raj does not think that Los Angeles
is going to become the safest nest
of open shop profteers.
With the backing of organized Ia
Dor of Los Angeles. the Cigar Makers
Union intends to organize every cigar
factory in the city. s3al ~
A cigar maker in Los Angeles is the
most underpaid worker in this eoun-
try; his average wage is not to exceed
500 per week. a.
Such conditions cannot be endured
any longer. The Cigar Makers Union
has elected a special organization
committee to carry on the work.

eminent.
A LII this we teach not only by
"A books. But in the large cities
the schools of the second form must
have some connection with a factory
or mill; and in the village, with agri

reach the upper grade of this form
they must themselves take some pro
ductive specially, farming, or factory
work or teaching.
This is an absolute change from the
old system under the car where the
gymnasium prepared officials, and was
as remote as possible from life. In
the towns and villages the peasants
and workers were fighting for better
conditions of life against landlords
and capitalists, but the school
was supposed to remain deaf to
all this struggle; worse yet, the chill
dren learned that poverty, misery
darkness and slavery we're made by
the lord god himself, and whoever
raises his voice against them, sins
against god. They learned the laws

man tolls and another reaps the
fruit. OF all these things the schools
gave no information at all.
But perhaps some peasant says.
"The school in our village still

Soviet Primer No. 5-From the
little booklets in which the Soviet
government tells its own folks what
is going on in the country.
TINE three and half cent booklet
4 on education is written by Hodor-
ovsky, assistant head of education
and a much more methodical man
than Lunacharsky. He is a bit dry
in style, too much like a catalogue,
bnt he gives the first coherent picture
Of Russian education in all it ramif-
cations. Only, unfortunately, his fig
.ures are already old; education moves
fast these days, and the new figures
for 1925-26 have made a bigger in
crease than ever over the year be-
fore, With this correction, that he
doesn't tell all the latest progress,
we'll let it stand.
Slowly, he says, but without break
grows and rises the industry of our
land and with it grows also education.
Let us see how it has improved in the
past two years. ~ e
TIME FUNDS for education come from
\ two sources. the central govern.
ment and the local governments.
From the central government 70 mil
lion was spent for education Gin Russia
proper in 1929, but lis million in
1924-25. from the local governments
So million rubles was spent in 1929,
but in 1924-25 they spent 234 million.
Thus we see that the total amount
spent for education is almost three
times as great as two years ago.
The largest expenses for public
education have gone for lettering the
condition of teachers. In January,
1928 the village teachers got on an
average of rubles, $3.50 a month, A
year later in March 1924 the average
was Is rubles. But the central gov
eminent realized that no teacher could
live on this, and in June 1924 they
advanced special fund of five million

Tliterate. During our frst two years
Of work we taught FIVE million people
to read and write. But then this too
fell during the famine. Since 1928 these
classes have grown, and at the end OF
1924 there are 22,450 classes teaching
100000 illiterates. If the plan laid
down by Lenin to liquidate all lift
eracy BY the tenth anniversary Of the
revolution is not entirely accomplish
ed, it will be three-fourths of the way
to fulfilment at least.
The growth of reading huts has also
kept up with the growth of reading
knowledge, and this is very important,
for an adult who has no practice soon

grew in one year to 1923-24 from 4,511
to 10.417 and are still growing rapidly
in number.
ONE special feature of our new edu-

was especially true among the eastern
people, Tartars, Kirghiz, Chuvash and
others. Now among these people edu-
cation is rapidly growing; tho in some
cases they had no alphabet and no
books. an dthese had to be first
created.
We know that the greater the
knowledge and understanding intro

pies and among our own untaught
peasants and workers. the stronger
will their mutual alliance grow, on
which our state is based. In this mu-
tual alliance and understanding is
the guarantee of our victory over all
foes; over foreign and Russian land
lords; over foreign and Russian capt.

gary and misery. over darkness and
ignorance.
