$125, 936.24. And last year it lacked
$1,284.95 of spending all of the
100000 set up in the current
budget.
In 1916 the town owed $46, 300
in bonds, but by paying up ahead
of time, this sum has been reduced
to $4,000, and the saving by pay
ing ahead of time caused the in
terest rate to be lowered from 40
to $50, resulting in a saving during
the past year, of $1,076. It's not
often you see small town govern
ment so economy minded. It's been
paying it's bonds back twice as fast
as it promised.
Yet the town is on the job, plan
ming for the future, and it's Alder,
men are now getting ready to
spend about $4,000 in drainage
throughout the town.
Another item of interest, is that
property and equipment owned by
the town is valued at $125,936.24
This includes fire trucks, street
equipment, etc.
The Mayor, Paul Liverman gets
an annual salary of $500, and the
five aldermen each get $50 year
They are Ernest S. Brickhouse, H
T. (Jack) Davenport, Alben Hamil-
ton, Borden McClees and Floyd
Spencer. Sally B. Alexander is
town clerk, and J. L. Poston Town
Accountant. Mr.. Poston is the
town tax collector and Chief of
Police, having served as an officer
for more than 20 years.
The town sets up reserves to
make up for possible losses. The
report shows Revenue exceeded ex-
penditures in the General Fund by
$4,781.17.
There are many towns with
greater property value than the
small town of Columbia that cam
not show so good report.

Schooling Aids
Higher Income,
Educators Say
BY J. A. o'LEARY

Educators testifying before a
congressional subcommittee
studying the problems Of low
income families agreed yesterday
there is a relationship between
education and low income.
Samuel M. Brownell, United
States Commissioner Of Educa-.
tion, cited 1850 census data as
showing that the average annual
income of those with no school,
ing was $1.10S. Those who re-
ceived only a grade school edu-
cation averaged sass. while
those with four years Of college
averaged $4.407.
The subcommittee viii turn its
attention this week to low-in-
come families in depressed areas,
both rural and industrial.
DR.. Brownell said many per-
sons. though deprived Of a formal
education, have achieved great
financial success. He also pointed
out that there are many whose
dollar income does not reflect
their extensive training.
General View Confirmed
Nevertheless" he added.
s.these figures. it seems to me,
tend to confirm a well-accepted
view that. in general. an in
dividual enhances his earning
power by advancing his educa-
ton"
DR.. Brownell said more stu
dents are staying In school longer
now than in the past.
Out Of the class entering the
nth grade In 1925 he said. 1915
of each 1000 graduated from
high school, whereas 500 out Of
each 1000 do nowadays. Never
theless. even the current figure
indicates large numbers Of our
youth failing to take full adj
vantage Of school opportunities"
DR.. Brownell said education
has proven itself the Nations
"most effective weapon against
q static economic caste system
for individuals in our society.
but it must be powered by the
action Of the people to make
available to children from low
income homes an adequate
amount of education Of a kind
and quality that win be accepted
by them and will be useful TO
them"
NEA Study Offered
J. L. McCaskill Of the National
Education Association told the
subcommittee that its own stud
les and those Of the Federal Re-
serve Board show "a high cor
relation between income and ed
ucational attainment among nom
farm occupations"
He said the NEA has found
. growing tendency among en-
pl0yers to require high school
graduation as a minimum pre-
requisite for desirable employ
laent In industry.
Others who filed papers on the
subject with the subcommittee
yesterday were: Eli Ginzberg and
Douglas w Bray, of Columbia
University: H. B. Masters. Uni
versity Of Georgia. and Roland
r. Renne. president Of Montana
State College.
