THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE
A friend of mine, a y4>ung middle
aged woman, is taking up this year
a Saturday course In current events
ami a correspondence course In Span-
ish.
She is a busy woman, a minister’s
wife frith two children in high school
and so it means careful planning to
find the time. When people ask her
why she trii's to do this with all the
rest, she says, “Well, you know. 1
didn’t go to college and I’m trying to
catch up. My children are going to
college and 1 don't want them to leave
me behind."
This woman has kept up her French
ever since she left high school. She
attended a conversation class for some
years, then combined business and
education (ono cannot teach without
learning) by tutoring some girls who
were preparing for college. When she
reads her Bible at night she reads a
French testament. She Is a far better
French scholar than most of the col-
lege graduates I know.
Nome of the 'Ihlnge Thia NV4>i»an llaa
D4>ne.
Last year she took a course In so-
ciology at the college near which she
lives.
The year b<fore that she took the
course in political economy, which was
the foundation for the sociology course.
"You can't Imagine how much under-
standing both these courses have giv-
en me of all this Capital anti Labor
trouble,” she says.
She is an owner—and what Is more
a reader—of one of the famous five-
foot bookshelves.
Hardly a year has gone
her marriage, except when
dren were babies, that she did not
take at least one course In the nearby
college.
And in
she took
each year.
Whenever anyone asks her why she
Is so persistent, she always makes
substantially the same answer as I
quoted above.
■the IIhh That Need No Longer
"Well, you see, I didn't go to col-
lege and I've got to catch up."
It is my opinion that she has no
need to catch up. For I think she has
long since passed the average college
graduate.
A college education Is' a splendid
thing but oh. so few can have it. Did
you know that only 6.3 per cent of all
the children enrolled in the American
schools finish th<- eighth grade. I didn't
until 1 read It in a magazine article
lately. Of course only a small per cent
of those go on through high school,
and a still smaller per cent of those
go on through college.

"The Income tax also hits some
members of the theatrical profession
pretty hard. Some of these actors. In-
cluding motion picture stars, perhaps
make as high as $200 and $300 a week
for six months in the year. They live
well and by the time their Income tax
payment Is due may he out of an en-
gagement. They are confronted with
a good-sized tax without any Immedi-

get it.

cost of running the government. Mr. I
Edwards cited a few Instances with-
out. of course, mentioning any names, |
of boothlacks, milk wagon drivers and •
bellboys who in 1919 earned In excess'
of their exemption and who will be
required to file returns.
Payment of the Income tax began
on January 1 and will continue until
midnight of March 15 at which time
all returns must be in to escape
possibility of a maximum
fine for delinquency. While
Edwards was opening his mall the
other day out fell n check for $2,383,-
515.39. representing the payment of a
corporation tax with penalty and In-
terest. The next letter he opened was
from Montclair, N. J., which Is also In
his district. It had been registered to
pay an Income tax of $1.37.
A recent caller at the Collector’s of-
fice was a woman whose net Income
was 65 dents. Her tax amounted to
four cents. She wanted to know If she
would be permitted to make the pay-
ments "quarterly"-. When tokl ahe
could she smiled and said she guessed
she would pay It all at once handed
over four shining pennies and took
her receipt. Another patriotic citizen—-
foreign born-—filed a careful return
showing that he hail no Income which
was subject to tJYatIon.*At the bottom
of his return was the following nota-
tion "No tax due but would like to
pay some tax and enclose’for $100”.
Collector Edwards said that, under
the law ho was not permitted to ac-
cept the cluck but that he forwarded
It to Commlssion'T Roper in Washing-
ton to dispose of as he saw fit. This
year the income tax rate la less than
