Letter of Apprecittioa
August 5, 1038 The Naiareth Item Publlahlng Co, 48 Bouth Main Bt,, Naiareth, Pa., Dear Bir:
I have followed the column "Know Both Sides" for the paat three weeks in THE NAZARETH ITEM. It is amuaing to read the aceounta of two dliagreetag poU itlciana on different party polU cles, although. It regiaters a feel¬ ing that "all is vanity"—even pol¬ itics.
You have given your readera the opportunity of voicing their aen- timenu in the matter. It would have been an impractical method of doing the same in an ordinary letter. Bo, I have taken the li¬ berty of writing and dramatiiing my opinion and comment! In the form of a eolumn, entitled "What's It AU About" whieh you may publiah; it It merita the pub¬ llahlng atardard of your news¬ paper. You will ftad aame attach¬ ed to this letter.
I am very glad, even though your paper is a weekly publica¬ tion, tbat your tatentiom trend toward the liberal conception ot facta where poUtlei la concerned. If eiriy the Mg newvapate ta Ihe wmd^ adapt a idmHar ffi then there would be a smaller percentage ot "hood¬ winked" Americans, than what we have today.
Sincerely youra, (Signed) P. Robert Boehler
NOTE:—
Mr. Boehler's opinion in this matter is published in this Issue, following "Know Both Sides" on page 6.

WHY SCHOOLS
COST   IIIORE
"The pubhc schools belong to th? people," said Dr. Lester K. Ade, Superintendent of Public Instructio i. today. The people have a right to know what education Ls attempting to do, how its program is being carried out, and what It Is eoetlnfj. It Is an Important function ot ed¬ ucators to make the facts know:v not only through the local public relations programs, but through pro- fp.'Slonal groups.
"Educators must keep constantly in mind that regardless of the ex- collence of the program, there are niany people who think that school costs are excessive. In any program designed to help the public under¬ stand school expenditures, the flrst step Is to examine the trends In school costs. What was expended for public education In 1014 before the world experienced a cultural and political upheaval? What were fhe costs of .schools in 1030 prior ti recent economic maladjustments?
How much more did education cost at the end ot this period than it did at the beginning? Pinally and most important of all, what has caused this rising cost? '
"The number ot dollars spent does not reveal the trtie trends ta school cost*." Doctor Ade declared. '"Ac¬ count must be taken ot Increaaes In pupil attendance, improvements 'n .s.'hool services, and decreases ta the purchasing power of the dollar. The real ability of achooltx>ards to pur- cha.se facilities for the children in Attendance has not increased as ra¬ pidly as the total gross expenditur?s would seem to indicate Those citi- zen.s whn fall to realize these ttin- daniontal facts are apt to be misled by Inaccurate statoments aa to the costs of puWlc education."

"What's It aU aboutf" . question ot the befuddled many Northampton County ers, concerning present iNkUy haa. •¦ the investigation and audita of reoords.
According to publle many good citiaens ara maaiadad tt "Uttle boys" playtas marblia. VIm game gets alonf pretty wall BBttt some "smarty" steps ta aad to sbow the "boys" bow ta cop the "poppers." Tha ttauous until the "i leam that the "smarty" la taktaf Ot the marbles .... and tba JIns ¦ up. The losers crylnf, quickly ma home to mama, tell her their atoiy and promptly she reaches down la the apron pocket and allowa aaah enough money to get "poppara" aa good as the "smarty" uses .... What a surprise the "saurty" mPt m the next game .... ha BMata Ma match on the sama ground!. Tha game is still on. but what a palafst- soundtag-cry we may soon wpoet IS hear when he learns the boya playing tor ""keeps."
While this is not the marble son. It appears to many taspayan that so much money ahould nol ks taken trom the apron .season, but that better should be secured durtng the sason for candidates. After aU, tiM game ot marbles, Uke the gamt at politics, offers losses aa weU as .... talr players know thia they enter the ring, but the "aaaattf must be tatight by experience .... And don"t forget mama, (tbe tas« payer), isn't going to reaeh toto th* apron pocket too often .... J«i| so the game may conttaue. Ona of these days she is gohkt to ean a laai "halt" and the "boys" wUl hava la go out and work tor a Uvtaf aaf par tor their own nurbles. Bipselally thoae ot the "smarty" type, who a^ parently are sUpptaif tato thaUr owa ditches, dug at the expense of tas« payers .... and possibly for tha purpoes of selfish gains.
