Mai Wilmarth's figures also show
inst how every school dollar was ex-
pended during the l923-1924 term. In
struction took 71A cents OF each dol
lar-by far the largest item. Capltai
outlay was next, with IL cents. one
cent went f.r general control, " cent

operation of the school plant. n cent
for auxiliary agencies. cents Tor
maintenance of the school plant and
- cent for fixed charges.
The ever-growing cost OF education
is not local. however. A survey mace
recently by the research division OF the
National Education Association shows
that virtually every city in the United
States is feeling the increasing oollga-
tons of public education.
The research divisions study COW
cred every phase of the question of
school costs as they affect the tax
payer, directly or indirectly. 1t was
made with a view of determining
whether it is possible for the Nation to
provide for school support on the
present basis or on more generous
basis, If it seems wise. AS result
the division reported:
The present cost Of education
could he doubled without encroaching
upon any of the Nations economic
needs. Such an increase could be
made by reducing our luxury expendi-
lures but Is per cent.
Increase of Wealth.
THE increase in the Nations wealth
each year is more than five times the
amount expended for all public educa
ton.
The cost Of education is but a frac.

VARIATtON-Painter.
RACIAL ORIGIN-EnaIish.
SOURCE-An occupation.

You won't find it very hard TO guess
the meaning Of the family names of
Paynter and Painter. or, at least, one
of their origins, for there are TWO.
In the Middle Ages. as TODAY, men
were not unfamiliar with the uses Of
paint, and the painter held almost as
important place in the list of the
medieval industries and trades. com
paratiVelY speaking, as he does in the
complex life of modern times.
The old tax and other records are
full of such names as "Geoffrew de
Peynture, Ralph le Peintur" and
the like. Painting was an established
profession of skilled artisans. who had
their guild. similar in a faint way to
the union of today, except that it was
an organization of the entire trade,
taking in employer as we'll as EN-
ploye.
In some cases, however. the family
name Of Painter traces to a different
source, to a different trade-that of
the "povnterS." who made the elabo-
rate pointed laces Ghongsl with which
so much of the medieval clothing was
fastened together

Clues to Character
BY ]. o. ABERNETHY.
The Aristocratic Nose.

Check-up on men of authority, execu-
tives and leaders. and YOU will find
that their noses are somewhat arched.
while the order takers have straight
noses.
A nose that is convex in profile,
which means one that is low at the
root, but rises abruptly at the bridge
and bulges, then dips in at the tip
should be classified as the aristocratic
nose. Where it is not strongly arched,
but large and broad, it is a sign Of
a strong, assertive, domineering dis
position, accompanied by a self-opin-
donated mind.
But your man or woman with the
arched nose is more commanding in
words than in deeds because their
great strength lies in their forccful
voices and tempers, thereby develop
ing unusual power in compelling ODE
dience.
You will not find this individual be
ing led in peace or in war. He strip es
to reach a position where he may
command at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Accepting advice is not a thing
that he enjoys. Those with this nose
love to dictate and never fail to show
their authority
