Mother of Is Runs Her Home
on Schedule.

New York.-A family of eighteen,
recently adjudged the largest in the
city, must eat each meal in three shifts
because there's table room for only
six at time.
The mother, Mrs. Robert Owens. has
solved the problem of keeping the
names and ages of her sixteen children
straight by the use of small notebook
which she carries with her at all times
The book contains the vital statistics
of the family and often saves embar-
rassment when neighbors or others ask
questions.
It's big job, taking care of fam
lily of eighteen, Mrs. Owens says. es-

twelve boys, but only three are old
enough to work-and at present they
haven't any regular jobs.
But the Owens manage to get along.
Mrs. Owens, assisted by Anna, twenty

on regular schedule. Most Of the
time is taken up by meals and cook

Survey Reveals Fewer
Teachers, More Pupils

Washington.-The number Of school
teachers in the country has decreased
"a per cent, while enrolment In the
nations schools has increased 1.3 per
cent, according to a study made by the
office Of education Of the Interior de-
partment.
The study included reports of more
than 5000 school superintendent in
cities having population Of $500 or
more.
More than so per cent of the cities
reported decrease in the number Of
teachers per pupil in all grades of
schools. The majority of reports also
showed decrease in the budgets for
teacher salaries
Ninety-one cities showed plans for
a shorter term because of lack Of
money to run the usual length of
time. Textbook purchases decreased
an average of 1853 per cent.
Another item was that the capital
outlay for schools had been lowered
$40 per cent during the past two
years.
