viously called for nc; merely cn ec- oncmic grounds but on grounds Of common humanity as well
 Fourteen years average schooling would be much mere desirable fer American youths of l940 than the present ten or eleven year average. We ought to train more and more of them for the upper levels of trades and technical work, and for at least semi-professional caree.s
 Why? For the same hard-boiled reason that we have given earlier in these articles. So the average American income will be bigger and better than it is today or has any chance of being under present con- ditions. Work that out cn na- tional basis, and you will find that this means a stupendOuS increase in the total national income.
 Nobody can plan vocational edu- cation intelligently unless there are up-to-date occupa tion surveys. There is no point in training boys and girls for lines of work which are already over supplied, Also there is no profit in training hundreds of thousands of them for low wage jobs
 Who is going to make the surveys? It looks like a new job for the Blu reau of Labor Statistics and the Gen. tral Statistical Board It must be on a national network scale if it is to fill the bill
 So far as students abilities are concerned, it is quite possible to de- eide what work would make them happy and in what lines they would do well.
 There is relatively small num- Der of gifted boys and girls, who ought to receive advanced college training, if they want it, no matter how slim their pocketbooks. A great many more scholarships than are available at present would seem to be the anSyer. How about it. MT. Money Bags? How about it, clubs, lodges, states, counties cities? This would be real patriotic service to your country We can't afford to waste these golden boys and girls They are valuable resources as much as our trees, our oil, our mines, and our soil.
 But isn't there some point at which we ought to call halt on this extra education business. you say? Yes. There is a place to stop. and it is hard boiled, too. Here it is, We shoud keep on expanding edu- cation and increasing the training for skilled jobs until the cost ot training equals the extra value o1 additional goods and services pro- duced

 The average amount of educa- tion now obtained by the youth of this country is somewhere between 10 and II years. We should immed- lately demand ten years minimum compulsory attendance in every state in this country.
 There should be no means of evad- ing this ten-year minimum by issu- ing work permits to children at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
 American education should begin with six-year elementary school followed by four-year junior sec ondary school and a senior second ary school with courses of study varying in length from two to foul years.

BETTING ON HORSE
RACING INCREASES
S40S, 52S, I'll Bet In Is States,
With New York Setting
Pace In Revenue

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-R-A lot
more money went to the horses
this year than last in the United
States, but the most striking de-
velopment in racing for 1910 was
the discovery of what a IS o
touch'' the bookmakers had in New
York state for years before the
mutuels arrived.
The annual Associated Press sur
vey of the financial eide of the turf
disclosed today tt t $408, 52S, I'll
was bet in 16 states with LILO rae
ing days this year, compared to
1921, 1874, 943 in 16 states with 1,790
days for 80.
New York, now operating under
the pari-mutuel system of betting
and disclosing its figures for the
first time, was out in front in the
list, while the most marked in
creases otherwise showed up in
Florida, Illinois and New Hamp-
shire. The only major losses were
in California, where nearly S 5,000,-
900 less was wagered, and Ken
lucky, where the Latonia track did
not operate this year.
From their share of these bet
ting totals, together with takes
from license fees and admission
taxees, the states received a total
r~venue this year of SIS, 1852, 1870
Last year with New York supply
ing only a puny $616, 81. SO, com
pared to the robust 194o sum of
S., 998, 900, the states cut in for
only ST. ,283, 1864 8
AS usual, several states, notably
Michigan, Illinois and Kentucky,
were high up in total wagering,
but far down in revenue derived
from the sport becar~e they took
their share only from admission
taxes and license fees. Illinois,
third on the list in wagering, was
seventh in revenue - $614, 059. go
Kentucky and Michigan betting to-
lied about $40, 900, 900 each, yet
the former drew only $156, 603. IS as
its share, and Michigan n etted
only $165, 900.
The most important changes &C.
Cured in New York state. After.
years of handbook betting at its
five tracks, the empire state
poured $103, 700, 600 into it's new
mutuel machines in 1910. Previ-
ously there was no official figure
as to the amount Of wagering.
Up to 1910, New York's only fl
nancial interest in the turf was in
admission taxes and license fees.
This year, cutting in for five per
cent of the total betting, and 50
percent of the breakage, as well
as receiving admission taxes and
license fees from the tracks, the
state found a major source OF rev-
enue and probably abolished the
'ebooks" for keeps.
Although California remained
second to the empire state both in
total betting and state revenue,
