BUCKLE-AND-TONGUE,
Making buckle and tongue meet is a
common Crackerism in the South.
What thi3 means for the average fam
ily of five in North Carolina and
Georgia was investigatd by the Fed
eral authorities several years ago
when the cost of living was far lower
than it is today. - v .
It was found at that time that
$408.26 a "year with good management
would furnish an. average family with
the bare necessities of life food
enough for working efficiency, clothing
enough to keep warm in winter, to
keep clean and avoid rags., and a min
imum of light and fuel; but allowed no
margin for car fare, insurance, or
funeral expenses.
A little higher -standard of living
called for ah average family income
$708.87 a. year. With care this sum
would allow abundant and varied food.
individual taste in clothing, with
changes for Sundays and holidays,
sufficient room space, and a small sum
over for health, insurance, and mod.
erate recreation.. .
Where Prosperity Pinches.
In this year of our Lord 1917 the
cost of food, fuel' and clothing has
reached a maximum level. The; index
figures of The Annalist show that the
cost of 24 staple food stuffs has a lit
tle more than doubled during the last
twenty years.
A minimum standard of living ih
North Carolina now calls for some
$705 a year, and a fair. standard of
living for a family income Of $1239.
Incomes of this sort will enable wage
earners and salaried people to make
buckle-and-tongue meet '' barely or
comfortably.
If a man's yearly income now-a-days
is smaller than these totals, his fam
ily must go without the bare necessi-
ies of life, they must get along with
fewer home comforts, and forego all
uxuries: or his children must leave
school and go to work years too early;
while his daughters and wife must
become breadwinners outside the
shelter of the home., as nearly exactly
a fourth of the white girls and women
ten. years old and over were doing in
North Carolina in 1910.
With these haid facts of existence
in mind, consider the average .annual
salaries of our rural white school
teachers, 235; of the white public
school teachers In ou rcity systems,
$454: of Baptist preachers outside
cities of 25,000 inhabitants $473. Meth
odist preachers $681. Presbyterian
preachers $858 ; and along with, these
the maximum possibe Incomes of in
dustrial workers; which in 1915 ranged
from $469 for motor car mechanics to
$1408 for plumbers.
