Corporation Cited as Saving Agency by Professor of Economics Over Radio
American People Efficient Savers, Says Sternberg
"Everywhere, from the platform in the newspaper, in the periodical, we are told and admonished that the American people are terrife, wasteful spenders of goods, and that we should not help them. Sorg of the department of economics in a speech on "Do the American People Save" over radio DWAF last night. "However, I am convinced that such statements are unsupported by facts and I shall endure to hear that." Sorg said, "I say, that without a single exception, the American people are the largest savers of wealth in the world. We are large accumulators of wealth because we spend little. It is not because of our characteristic of the American people to save by producing.
Much Money Saired
"Of the 72 billion of goods produced in 1923, we saved, according to the best authorities, not less than 12亿 dollars or 16-2.3 per cent. We saved more last year than we produced 30 years ago," he said. "People of the United States saved at the rate of 32 million dollars a day. National saving is measured in terms of those goods produced which have usefulness and life beyond the year."
Professor Sternberg continued, "Many contend that the motor car has consumed too large a percentage of our national savings; nevertheless, it is a great saver of time on our daily commute." It adds to our convenience of travel, and its use affords us much pleasure. "It is extremely significant that each year brings a larger and larger percentage of our savings from families of small or moderate income. This tendency is clearly indicated by the growing number of security companies that savings find their way into industry and productive uses through the sale of corporate securities."
Corporation Good Influence Professor Sternberg said that the corporation is one of the best agencies for saving. Consequently, it contributes much to our national well-being and does a great deal to strain that but little more than one-fifth of the net income of corporations is paid out in dividends to stockholders. The balance is turned back into the business.
"Since 1911," he said, "we have advanced in round numbers to Europe, in excess of her exports to us and the rest of the world, of 25 billion. This means that we produced goods up to this value, denied ourselves the privilege of consuming them, and sent them abroad. This is true sacrifice and saving. If you have made a contribution generation in America will inherit the returns that payment will bring."

U. S. Holds Half Supply of Diamonds in World
Girls wishing to be Big Sisters next year, please leave your names at Henley house or with Ferne Crooks before Friday.
The National City bank of New York discloses the fact that about half the world's present supply of diamonds is now held in the United States. In the past, we have approximately $2,000,000 in the acquisition of these trifles, but since the war we have been importing them at the astounding rate of $50,000,000 to $100,000,000 worth a year, and it appears that only a quarter of them go into Kimberley and the European crown jewels will check the infuax. Already about one-half the world's $9,000,000 worth of monetary gold has been amassed in our vaults. Precious stones are not currency, but precious metals are a similar function in international exchange, and we appear to be withdrawing this last form of portable real wealth from Europe as rapidly as we are reducing her gold. The move we have the more rapidly we are withdrawing the rest of the world of its cash, we are taking the jewelry as well.

Commission Meets in Paris Today to Revise Calendar
Will Set Definite Date for Easter; Action Will Save Money for Many Industries
Paris, May 20.—A commission of the League of Nations met here today for the purpose of proceeding to a revision of the Gregorian calendar, and especially for establishing a permanent date for Easter.
In the event the proposed reform is eventually adopted, milady will always know on just what date each year it will be necessary for her to have her new Easter hat, without having to consult the calendar.
Easter will fall on the same date every year with the same regularity as Christmas falls on Dec. 25 and New Year's on Jan. 1.
As it is Easter can now fall and does fall anywhere from March 22 to April 25. And as half a dozen other fest days, such as the feast of the Assumption, Ash Wednesday and Pentecost are based upon the Easter date, these days also vary each year.
So great are the commercial inter-
sections of various countries as regards
the economy that can be demonstrated
that single country can collect dollars when Easter falls in March.
Three Churches Agree
As the present system of establishing a bishop'saster was fixed at the Council of Nicea in timestamps ago, the first step of the League of Nations toward a solution of the problem was to secure agreement by the various religious authorities. For the first time in history, it was succeeded in getting official representation from Catholic National Church, the Church of England and the Greek Orthodox church to sit at the same table and discuss a religious question jointly, but it succeeded in getting their opinions on the advisability of making Easter so fixed instead of a movable feste day.
For the moment this religious accord is threatened somewhat by a demand of the Federal Council of Religious organizations to correspond organization in Express recessing 50,000,000 Protestants, to be consulted on the question also. While they declare themselves fully in agreement relative to the necessity of the final decision, they insist that the final decision should not be taken without consulting them
Fear is felt in lague circles, however, that if the Protestant churches were also called in the net result might be to break up the accord that has already been reached amongst them. The churches were originally of Catholic origin.
In addition to establishing a permanent date for Easter, the commission that met today will also continue the study of projects for a complete reform of the Gregorian calendar. The general idea is, if you have already seen it in which not only would the month have same length, but year after year the days of each month would always fall on the same week days.
School Report Published
Pupils of One-Teacher Schools
Poorly Instructed
A report has just been published giving the conclusions of a survey of the elementary schools in Kansas for Prof. F. P. O'Brien, of the University of Missouri. The teachers are Teachers' College; Emporia; and E. Mendenhall, Teachers' College, Pittsburgh. The survey was made for the school code commission and involved tests in spelling, reading, composition, competition and handwriting.
Records were made of age-grade distribution, length of school year, and tenure and preparation of teachers. The committee found that the pupils in the one-teacher school were getting an inferior kind of education; they were taught by an inexperienced, poorly prepared and poorly teacher.
The pupils in the graded schools were found to do superior work in most cases, compared to the pupils of the one-teacher schools. The ridden schools, however, the commissioners of the state, acceptable standards in the schools tested. Especially was this the case in cities of the third class.
