A Federal Bureau of Education report notes unit expenditures for public schools have nearly doubled since 1920. Variations among states and communities, changes in dollar value, and rising costs for grounds buildings supplies and teacher salaries explain higher per pupil costs. While inflation and better school infrastructure drive up expense, literacy growth also expands the pupil population, making costs rise more than two and a half times over fifteen years.

A broad exhortation to cultivate a forward looking mind as key to happiness and progress. It urges taking one of 578 occupations, embracing opportunity, and avoiding idleness. It notes Kansas and Iowa wheat and corn outputs, and stresses preventive health care as worthwhile and rising in popularity.
Abe Martin notes that the new stockin design lets a rider sit in a rumble seat without sunburn. He remarks that a man who has kept the same worn dinner bucket for thirty years shows little concern for luncheon clita and mass thinking.
A 1910s style editorial argues sales tax as fair and efficient, spreading burden across all classes. It compares income tax drawbacks and praises universal collection, noting Ford and General Motors as examples of broad prosperity from business growth.
