The total investment in educational work in the state at present, according to figures compiled by the state board of immigration from the reports of tho federal bureau of education and the state superintendent of "public instruction, amounts to approximately $326 tor every student enrolled in the various- educational institutions, and the average cost of operation per pupil for the state' as a whole is about annually.

The'Investment in educational institutions accounted for by an estimate of $62,148,000 in public schools, $16,052,000 in state controlled colleges and universities, Itn county high schools and $5,480,000 in of higher "learning financed and controlled bv private agencies.

Prices are to change wltnoiit notice. (Corrected to May 13) totals are about evenly divided be-, tween the sexes, but in the faculty listings women predominate accounting for about 80 per cent of the total number. In the public schools the women outnumber the men teachers by' 8,070 to 1,675, a proportion which prevails in the parochial schools, but in the colleges and universities men outnumber women teachers than two to one. In the administration and operation of tho public schools, including county high schools, about 26 million dollars Is spent annually, the revenue coming from three principal sources. These include the apportionment of the state general school fund, which is the income from state land fund investments; the county levies required by the teachers' minimum salary law, the special taxes levied by local school districts, and a relatively small amount from tuition.

The school district tax amounts to about $17,000,000 annually and the county levy for salaries brings in nearly $6,000,000 while the state general fund appro- tlonment amounts to about a million dollars under normal conditions. Colorado is divided Into 2,041 public school districts, with a total ot 3,208 buildings, so the average school investment -for each district is about $3.0,000.

How these industries can find a market for tfieir products the, buying power of the people' is still further lowered: is difficult to understand." Tlio situation was, emphasized as serious, with unemployment "steadily" increasing. "The stress of almost two years ot increasing unemployment," the statement continued, "is being more keenly felt. Suffering and distress prevails, while social unrest ia steadily increasing. There are strong Indications that wo are facing a third winter of distressing 'unemployment." Restoration of buying power and preservation "of American standard of living" were cited as "what we need." "Apparently," the council added, those employers who would attempt to enforce reductions in wages' think only'in terms of increased production. How they expect to market goods produced when they lower the already limited purchasing power of millions of people has not yet been explained.

The executive council of the American Federation of Labor is of the opinion that, the serious unemployment situation which now prevails call's for drastic -consideration and, drastic It firmly believes that the. wage policy urged by certain banking Interests and certain employers should be. effectively stopped."

"In the opinion of the railroad em- ployes, the hour is hero, and if the interstate commerce commission will act without unnecessary delay, it may assist materially in getting the country back on its economic egs." The association of railway executives decided last week to begin a s.tudy of looking to rate increases which would add $400,000.000 to their revenues annually. Of this, would be Invested injabor.
