U. S. Expenditure For Education Os e-Severth Os That For Luxuries By Herbert Little tV. P Staff Correspondent) Washington, Nov. It - < United Pies’.)• People of the t n.ieu Jtates spend $15,000,000,000 a year for luxuries and non-essentials. They spend $6,000,000,000 annually on buildings. Th'-y spend $4,000,000,000 on passenger automobiles, and save something like $10,000,000,000 a year But they spend less than $2,000,000, 000 a year <>n education through tax supported schools. ' This mass of figures on extravagant America was shot forth today by the National Education Association to prove that school costs are. not more than society tan bear. The research division of the association has just completed a painstaking investigation of the expense of running American schools and other American institutions. People guard against rainy days by paying insurance premiums of around $4,000,000,000 a year, the study showed, hut education's preparation for future doesn’t fare nearly so well. The cost of education is 56-100 of one per cent of the nation's estimated wealth of $320,803,000,000. it was pointed out. The total educational expenditure for 1922 was found to be $1,799,383. 594. of which elementary and secondary schools took $1,580,671,296. The rest includes tax-sup-ported colleges and universities. Education costs are increasing, and will continue to increase as long as the nation continues to progress, the Association believes. The report of the investigation also said: ’The present cost of education could be doubled without encroaching upon any of the nation's economic needs. Such an increase could be made by reducing our luxury expenditures but 20 per cent. ”To contend that it is impossible for the nation to provide for school support on the present basis, or one more generous basis if it seems wise, is to disregard the facts and to base one’s conclusions on the imaginings of small-minded pessimists. "Evidently the payment of taxes, which, of course, included school costs, has not prevented the nation’s corporations from saving a substantial proportion of their net income. In the lights of these facts, it cannot be contended that industry is finding it difficult to increase its capital and thereby to provide for substantial business growth. "This is clear when one realizes that a sum equal to four per cent of our national income is set aside each year for business expansion by the industries of the United States organized as corporations ’ —q British Empire Is Knit By Air Lines London.

another twenty-i.ue years the linking up of the Empire will have been achieved. The longer the journey the greater the advantage of flying. * "As long as our main flights are ’ween London and Paris, or London nd Brussels, the full value of flying to the trade and Intercourse of the country can never be realized. Wo must fly greater distances. The British Empire, has more to gain than any other nation in the world from long distance air communication. The first practical step in this direction which he had set hilnsolf to accomplish, said Dr Samuel was the development of the airplane route to India. “We have got one section of that route already working iu ths military mail between Egypt and Bagdad. I want to see that become a regular weekly mail service between Egypt and India. Later when tbe two giant airships of 5,000,000 cubic feet gas capacity have been completed and are in operation, I hope to see them take over the carrying of mails and passengers directly from London to Karachi, India. Their construction is about to be started and they should be completed in two years time. “My belief is that if these two new ships are successful, as we expect them to be, we shall in the course of time see commercial lines developed over the whole empire.” O n s_s_s_WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s
