Frequently I would have gas on my stom ach, and felt awful. "I read about Black-Draught, and I thought it might help me. After 1 had taken it a lit tle while, I felt much better.

Twenty-Five Million Children In Public Schools Of America In 1930; Many Teachers Study High Schools Pupils In United States Number Over Pour Million. Washington.—Public school en rollment In the United States In 1930 was nearly 25,000,000, according to estimates of the federal office of education. The number of pupils in elementary schools is placed at about 21,370,000, and the number enrolled in public high schools at 4.030.000. ' It is also estimated that there were 848,500 teachers and >254,200 school houses. School expenditures totaled $2,389,000,000. The pupils in private and parochial schools, ele mentary and secondary, numbered 2.704.000. In reviewing high spots of the educational situation for last jw, the office of education reports an overcupply of teachers which “has become a matter of concern to school authorities.” Oversupply of teachers of liberal arts subjects and of elementary school work has in some places led to stiffer requirements for entrance to institutions where teachers are trained and to higher requirements for teachers’ certificates. Normal schools are demanding i such requirements as superior high I school scholarship, good intelligence ! test ratings and other special tests.1 States and cities in increasing num bers now require a minimum of three years training in addition to high schodl before granting certi ficates. Teachers Study, Too. Teachers themselves a ,:arently are busy enhancing their qualifi cations, for 421,000 from the staff of public elementary and secondary schools took special courses last summer, according to a cited survey by the National Education associa tion. Public schools have been seeking the aid of industries for organiza tion of Industrial courses, the office of education finds, and an example of the increasing trend toward pro viding courses of specific character to meet needs for vocational train ing is seen in the introduction of courses in aviation in the public schools of Buffalo. More than a million persons are counted as in vocational schools last year, the federal board of vocation al education has reported, including 170.000 learning farming. 250,000 tak ing courses in homemaking and 625.000 learning Jobs in trade and industry. Most of these folks were '•i "chools ODerating under the” ' joint federal-state vocational edu -Vat system. Public school enrollment is being affected by the declining birth rate. The office of education does not give figures to demonstrate that, be yond pointing to the fact that in an average group of Americans in 1915 five children were being born each year, whereas in the same average group in 1928 less than four were being bom.

Neighbors may borrow any one of a hundred things the best housewives run short of, and still remain friendly, but "may I use your telephone?” is very likely to be considered an imposition by your neigh bors. If you had a neighbor who persisted in borrowing things and never returning them, you’d probably at least become impatient with that neighbor. When you borrow your neighbor’s telephone, you are borrowing something you cannot repay when you haven’t a telephone of your own. Avoid embarrassment of this kind by having a telephone of your own. Find out, now, how little it costs. Just call the Business Office, or ask any telephone employe.
