(oAl_ SHOULD A it 1 PROHIBITION AND EDUCATION In these days wh so much attention has been brought to bear on the inadeguacy of teachers’ salaries, we hear more and more the rantings of those who would return the country to the days of prohibition. The argument is advanced that we can well afford to spend much more for teachers' salaries and other educational items because the nation spencs $7,000,- 000,000 a year on liquor, against only $3,000,000,0¢0 for education One minister, taking a short trip through Alaska, charged that Ketchikan people spend $5,000,000 a year on liquor and $130,000 for education Why not cut out liquor sales and double the money for education? So the argument goes. The spuriousness of such a position should be apparent to all of us. But apparently it is accepted in certain quarters. Despite the obviousness of its fallacies, we will point them out once more. We will presume that the national bill for liquor is $7,000,000,000 — that much spent across bars and through the cages of state-controlled liquor stores But what amount of that total actually goes for spirits? The U. S. Department of Commerce recently found that “in excess of $3,000,000,000" of the total liquor cash turnover went into Federal. State and local treasuries in the form of taxes. And, of course, a large portion of these taxes were channeled into various departments of education. Thus, when a man buys a drink, he buys a part of a glass of spirits; a part of a “glass of education”—if you please. But the liquor-purchaser also buys other items, Wsh Post rural Americ: ts would probal childre learn that the cost of having, rea i child to she age of 18 years is $12 George Osborne had returned to Juneau after 10 years absence, | of a child's cost in a $5000-a-} income family, 85| yroanos b [’S Mol Tidil during which he and his family resided in Cordova.

It shows a 1 emphasis from | T T A B | PTG i R s | the child’s obligations to the pi to the parents’ Authorits S means so much to the life blood obligation to the child Birth costs of $650 (including layette) would be especially mystiying to a pioneer farm mother, who had her 7 to 14 children at home with the aid of a neighbor, or if she were lucky, a country doctor, who charged from $10 to $25. But today’s higher birth costs—which prevail in families of all incomes—include more ultimate human economy in lives and health of mothers and babies. child’s budget reflects the social changes that have come to America. A girl's wardrobe to the time she is 18 is estimated as costing $1400, a boy's $1250. But Ithe boy's focd bill is higher. Urban life cial com- petition, the development of the fashion industry, also | of advertising and promotion, have made children more expensive sartorially. Also commercial recreation and preventive medical care have added to the expense. Education through high schocl—paid for by the com- munity through taxes—is estimated at about $1000 for |each child. Alsq charged to the child are a share of home rental, household expenses, and home fur- nishings. And these figures, based on cost of living statistics for 1935-36, would be incerased about 55 per cent by current prices. The growing cost of having and rearing children ! may help explain why two-child and three-child fam- ilies have become so prevalent. Also, as the more | rugged and adventurous physical life has given place |to safer and more standardized living, rarents have become more protective of children and have sought | to prepare them better for a world that is competitive | lin brains rather than brawn. Beycnd all this, there is a general growing away from that idea that children | exist for parents’ use and exploitation or to furnish 'rods on which parents may lean. Most parents, in- | cluding the great majority who don't have $5000-a-yesr incomes, aspire unselfishly to prepare their children for better and happier lives than they have known éll\emsclves. Today's high cost of rearing a child is !one testimony of the democratic recognition of a [ chita's rights and importance.
