II is hard to believe that Ameri-
ca cannot find adequate funds to
support its schools in accordance
to the needs Of the times. We
spend three times as much for to-
bacco. jewelry. cosmetics and the
like as we do for education. Our
automobiles cost us five times as
much each year as do our schools.
How much our people are spending
for liquor since the repeal of the

In 1890, the average annual cost

the past four years this has been
reduced. in many places, to below

pare the average annual cost OF
5000 a year OF keeping a man in
prison, with the annual cost OF
keeping a child In school, we can
clearly see the reason for keeping
up the efficiency Of our schools.
Inefficient education today means
inefficient citizens tomorrow. 1t
mean inefficient clerks, inefficient
employees OF all kinds, inefficient
professional men and women, inef-
ficient teachers In our schools, and
consumers with a lower standard
OF living.
IL we look at the situation from
a purely economic standpoint, can
afford to lower our standards
of education? Is 1t possible for us
to advance economically or social

That the advancement and i'm

necessary in our political and econ

eminent should lend Its helping
hand with fair and reasonable fin

but when that support is diverted
to the channels OF fraud, then a
halt must be called. Undoubtedly
all Innocent companies that were
caught in the cancellation order

OCEAN NAIL SUBSIDIES
The Senate committee will de-
velop more startling things in the
ocean mail game than that of the
air mail. Some OF the cards have
already been exposed.
The purposes OF the. ocean mail
subsidies, like those of the air,
were based upon high ideals-the
building up OF an American Merch-
ant Marine; however, fraud In high
places creeped In early. At least
40 out OF As OF these contracts. like
those of the air mail. were let with
out competitive bidding; a favored
few ere selected and awards
made to them. The socalled Mer-
chant Marine Act-the ocean mail
subsidy act. was passed in May,
1928. and from that time to March,
1892, some forty-five ocean con
tracts were let. all running for a
period OF years and none OF which
will expire for some time vet to
come. Immediately after the pass
age OF that act, many shipping COM
panies blossomed out and were fav-
ored by the postoffIce department.
three subsidies were their favors:
first, the Shipping. Board vessels
were sold to them at a nominal
price and without any down pay
ment; second, they were awarded
long-terun mail contracts running
into millions: third, they were al.
lowed to borrow money from a re-
volving fund to recondition their
vessels purchased without. money
Pretty soft. No initial investment
whatever.
With one exception as a certain
ty and with four exceptions as al
possibility, all the forty-five con-
tracts were let without a compett- |
tive bid. The law requires competi-
tive bidding, but this was made i'm
possible by SO arranging the noticei

moratorium for borrowers from
the Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton is now withdrawn. The for
mer privilege of paying no in.
stallments on principal until June
13, 1886, has been abused by
many borrowers who were actually
able to make such payments. No
postponement of principal pay
ments will now be permitted ex-
cept in necessitous cases. Bear in
mind that the monthly payment
required for both principal and
interest is only $7.91 for each
$1,000 of loan. The average
monthly payment Of principal and
interest by the 100000 present bor-
rowers requires less than $23, the
average loan to date being $2,903.
Federal guarantee of the prin.
cipal Of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation bonds has been taken
for granted since President Roose-
welt urged that step early in jan
uary. The bonds have advanced
in price from approximately IS to
par. The corporations activity in
exchanging its own bonds for
mortgages has been greatly
speeded up as result, to the re-
lief of thousands of distressed
home owners. The present 4 per
cent bonds Of the corporation do
not bear the principal guarantee,
but may be exchanged for the
fully guaranteed 3 per cent bonds
at any time within the next six
months, par for par, unless previ-
ously called.
Restricting loans by the cor
poration specifically to cases
where relief is actually needed,
will have two important results.
The new amendment makes it i'm
possible for borrower or a
lender to take unjust advantage
of the Home Owners Loan Cor
poration. It discourages deliber.
ate default by home owners who
are in no real distress and merely
wish to take advantage Of the low
interest rate payable on loans OF
the corporation.

SHANNON-LUCHS
PLAYS HOST

The Shannon & Luchs Com.
pany last week pllyed host to the
accountancy students of the Uni
versity Of Maryland, studying un.
der Prof. S. M. Wedeberg.
Forty-five men and women were
conducted on a laboratory tour
through this modern real estate
office, conducted by John l..
Mitchell, auditor of the firm. They
had the opportunity of examining
several kinds of business under q
single management-general real
estate, mortgage loans, sales, rem
tails, insurance and new home con.
Struction.
Beginning in the auditing de-
partment, Mr.. Mitchell and his
assistant, Miss Ella O'Connor,
first explained the general audit
ing and various machines used.
Then Miss Mary A. Shaw
showed the methods Of auditing
and recording first mortgage
interest and second mortgage
monthly payments. Following this,
the students were shown the vari-
Gus office filing systems by the
clerks in each department.
F. Wallace Stoever explained
property management, including
rents of homes and business prop
critics, as well as apartment house
management and repairs.
Stephen j. Ryan talked on all
phases of insurance and the neces-
sity for accounting knowledge in
insurance selling. He was fol-
lowed by Raymond E. Read :.ad
A. j. Moore, who explained the
legal department, mortgages, in
vestments" and sales, respectively.
The tour was completed with a
talk on Land Development and
New House Building" by MI.
Mitchell.

HOME BUILDING
LOANS Squirt

An increase Of 1872 per cent in
the dollar volume of mortgage
loans made by building and loan
associations for repairing, remod-
cling and building houses during
the first quarter of 1884, as COM
pared with like period of 1888, is
reported by the United States
Building and Loan League.
The league, which is the ma
tional trade organization of these
thrift and home-financing institu-
tions, says that associations in the
first six States to report their
lending operations for January,
February and March show this
definite upward swing in the vol
ume of home loans leading to
direct employment of labor.
Compared with 1925 first quar-
ter lending by the same group of
associations, the current figure
shows an increase of 81.7 per cent.

ARCHITECTS AID
WORK SURVEY

Chapters of the American Insti-
tute of Architects are surveying
the country with the aim of pre-
senting to Congress a list of
projects on which construction
might begin within six months or
a year under the public works
legislation it is expected will be
enacted. E. C. Kemper, of Wash
ington, executive secretary, in a
statement sent to the presidents
of the 81 chapters said:
'ThiS is a call for cooperation
from the architectural prOfes-
sion to assist in a program
which is intended to hasten
national recovery, and to en-
courage building construction"
State, county and city projects
of various types will be listed by
the architects, including hospitals,
primary and secondary schools,
libraries, city halls, jails, homes
for the aged, State-aided colleges,
parochial schools, and asylumS of
all kinds.

for Distressed
. Home OIUnerS Assured

"Speedier relief for distressed
home owners, increased credit
for new home building and re-
pair, wider employment in the
building trades, and strong Fed
eral protection for private saw
ings are some of the concrete
benefits anticipated from the
amendment to the Home Owners
Loan act, signed Saturday by
President Roosevelt" John H. Fa-
hey, chairman of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board, said
today. His complete statement
follows:
Five major objectives and sew
eral minor ones are accomplished
by this new legislation. First of
all, the United States Govern
ment now guarantees both prin-
cipal and interest of the bonds
of the Home owners Loan Cor.
poration, previously guaranteed
only as to interest. A second i'm
portant provision of the act
rigidly restricts loan by the cor
poration to home owners who
were in involuntary default on
June 13, 1888, or whose default
at a later date has been due to
circumstances beyond their con-
troll. Only in exceptional cases
will loans be made to applicants
whose default has occurred since
then.
"A third feature of the new
amendment, which may provide
employment for the equivalent
of 125,000 men for a year or
more is the authorization Of
$200,000,O00 to be advanced by
the Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton from its own funds for re-
conditioning homes. This fund
is strictly limited to homes on
which the corporation makes re-
lief loans.
"The fourth important change
effected by this new legislation
permits the United States Treas.
ury to buy fullpaid income shares
in any Federal savings and loan
association. Fifth, the optional
