PUBLIC SCHOOLS COST
 EACH PERSON IN U. S.
 FIVE CENTS PER DAY

Expenditures for public schools seem large in the aggregate, but when they are reduced to the daily amount for each individual, even in the cities where the cost is rela- lively higher, the general average is less than five cents a day.
 At the pre-war price of a street car fare these cities provide the instructio nwithout which a repub- lie can hardly hope to endure or a democracy to function. It might be reckoned as form of insurance which a civilized nation maintains for it's own collective protection. And it is of interest to note that what is spent yearly for public ed ucation is approximately what is paid yearly by individuals in life insurance premiums.
 If five cents per capita per diem seems a paltry outlay for so essen tial a purpose as paying the eter- nal debt of maturity to childhood, it seems even smaller when the to- tai is shown to be only a little more than one-half of one per cent of the economic resources or tangi- ble wealth of the states. Another comparison shows that the nation spends three times as much for soft drinks, ice cream, theaters, candy, chewing gum, tobacco, jewelry, perfumes and cosmetics as for pub lie schools.
 This is not to say that because the school expenditures are so small a part of the total tangible wealth and current income, or even much less than expenditures for luxuries, they are i'll every case justified; but the statistics do per nit the broad generalization that the material resources of the na- tion as a whole can easily provide for the present outlay, or even a larger one if efficiency requires, for education.
 Free education" costs the Amer ican taxpayers billions each year, but even at that this education is relatively free.---Exchange.

ATLIN HUNTERS INDULGE
 IN UNIQUE WAY OF KILLING
 OFF PREDATORY ANIMALS

A. J. Sprague of Juneau, who spent a portion of the past summer III Atlin and vicinity, says that the hunters of that section were await Ing the winter in order that they could resume the sport of coyote hunting in automobiles. Last win ter 25 coyotes were killed in one day by automobile hunters on Lake Atlin. As a coyote never turns sideways when running but goes straight ahead, it is easy to over take them in an auto, the speed ot the animal being not to exceed 20 miles an hour.
 While prospecting in the vicinity of Atlin the past summer, MT. Sprague came across the carcasses of four coyotes and he, like hunt CTS of that locality, reached the conclusion that an epidemic pre- vailed among the thieying maraud- CTS. But coyotes were the only ani- mals seen during the summer, all the grouse, rabbits and other small game having either been killed off by the coyotes or migrated to other parts.-Strollers' Weekly.
