ENGLISH AND AMERICAN COST OF
LIVING. v
In view of the time, 'thought
and space in magazines and
newspapers, that has been
given in recent years to what is
generally, called the "Higher
Cost of Living", but what Mr. J:
J. Hill has more truly designat
ed, The Cost, of Higher Living,
it seems to me that a report by
the British Board of : Trade
on The Cost of Living in Ameri
can Towns", including compari-

many years been exposed to
danger of fire or other destruction.

Cou.ity of Caswell. He visitecT
while ui there such progressive
farmers asLe'is Griffin, Walter
Jeffreys and S. Mv Jones. Esq.,
and enioyed his stay with these
nice people very much. Before he
returned the entertainment at the
Semora High School took place.
We were present and witnessed
the careful training of the boys
and girls under the careful guar
dianship ot Misses Alexander,
Principal and Petty. Assistant.
They all acquited themselves hand
somely, acting their parts without
a hitch, and the best feature of it
was the solendid music for the oc
casion by Miss Nannie Lansdell.
which was greatly enjoyed by all.
The only trouble was, a house!
Lrge enough for the recital could
not be obtained,- and nearly half
of the audience had to stand during j
the entire preformance. j
Miss Alexander is verv popular
with the scholars, as I heard sev;
eral speak of her in the highest
terms, and the school has been
full and prosperous this year. I
think Misses Alexander and Petty
will be retained another year.

parison defective is the restrict- 'he 2nd Sabba.h. preachmg a fine,

ed for data regarding income- they had ever heard from
and living expenses. These, so
far as the means of comparison
go, are the building trades, en-
fgineering trades, and printers
The subjects covered in the de
tails of comparison are wages,
hours of work, housing and
rents, food prices and family ex
penditure. The general result deduced by
averaging is that wages in these
trades in the United States com
pared with England and Wales
stand as 230 to 100, or 130 per
cent higher. The hours of work
are somewhat shorter in the
building trades and printing as
89 td 100 in the former and 96 to
Too in fhp latter, while in the
1 v V V -w 7
engineering trade they are a
little longer, as 106 to 100.
Coming now to the items of
cost of living, the conclusion
reached is that, "the American
workman pays on the whole a
little more than twice Jas much
as the English workman for the
same house accomodation, the
ratio being 207 to 100. "The re
tail prices of food are said to
show a ratio of 138 to 100, of 38

competent than one, andt the offic

It is finally concluded 1 in this
report that an Ameridan work
man receives 130 per cent, more
wages for slightly shorter, fiours
and spends 52 per cent, more l
for rent and food. It goes to
prove that American workmen
in the same occupations earn
much higher wages than those
of Great Britain, and that their
