"To Superintendents and Teachers:
'We wish -to suggest and request that
You conduct some special exercises
in your schools on Monday, May 13,
1907, the three hundredth birthday 4
of our nation. These exrecises need
%ot take much time, certainly not
nore than an hour, but in that time
he importance of this date may be I
irmly fixed. Doubtless you have ac
ess to historical information, pat- I
iotic songs, appropriate recitations, I
te., which you can use in a short f
rogranime. The children in our I
lhools will take greater interest. in 1
le Iistory 9R, our country, greater t
ride in tihe 'Iiieveients of our I
atliers and ml lni greater efforts in 1
the future if we impress the iil)ort- I
Mice of these occasions properly. It 5
will not be amiss to teach the object I
and importance of the Jamestown I
Exposition in, this connection. Sin- r
cerely,

ideed, less than a year ago, figures
-ere made publie )y the bureau of
labor which seemed to ind,icate that I
here had been no increase inl the liv
ng expenses of the average Ameri
in citizen. The figures showed that
ome articles of everyday use in
Lmericani households had ' gone
ap in price, but the general percen
tae of increase was so small to be 1
ineonsiderable. A that very fimlip, it
's known to every liousieholder in tile

. Now,' these fadts have dawned on
lhe g'overmnnenit offlcials. The litt 4
~'est igat ions made by thle buIreau of i
ab)0r have yth irown some si ron'ig lih 4
-on the subj)ect. Thei crit icism of tile
r'epor'ts mallde about a yeari ago induc-c
ed thle offieers of the lab)or b)ureau to
institute an inquiry into the cost of 1
whole amounts of commodities gen
eralily used ini. houisekeepinig. ~The '
compjar'isonis inistiinited c'over'ed a per'- 1

ms for what they will find in their
nlquiry into the retail prices. (
In the inquiry only recently coim
eted .it was discovereCd .that the -t
s olesale prices of 258 ordinary comi
d dities had reached a higher level s
90i~6 than at any previous time ine
a listory of the country. Of course, I
eriod covered by the investiga- 1
n was only seventeen years, bute
pi time prior to that had pr'icest
ria) ghi been attained as to any con- n'
ea -able number of the articles in- 1
se igated. On the whole number of
,cels, t,he average priice in 1.906, 1

"5, and 36.5 pcer cent huighler than a
1 97, lhe year in which thme low
--ririces of 'all thme commodities wecre il
'ehed iln the 17-year-period. TIme 1
~tisties show that tihe highest level '3
prices was reached in Decomber, 3
('6, tihe average fo'r that mo'nth s
ng 4.1 per cent higher than for the f
tire year of 1006, and 6.3 per cent 3
~ier thanm for the corresponding v
n'th of the previous year. t
t is st>ated by the bureau of lab- i:
that the inquiries covered farm t
ducts, food, clothing, lumber, r
lding material, drugs, house fur- s
lings and miscellaneous commodi- hi
.Farm products and chemicals h
wed a slig'ht decr'ease fvffn the v
ces of 1905, bult all other products n
icated a material increase. The o
'age price of farm products show- t1
n 1906, only a slight change from a
.905, while food produets, as a, who
nereased 3.0 per cent over 1905.
Sixty-six of the 75 articles <
lothilig showed an increase in pric
vhile only four indicated a decreas
n the ot'hers there was no change.
In submitting the figures, .the bi
'eau of labor makes no attempt I
liscuss'the causes of the rise and fa

imple statement of the facts as

hat an inquiry is being made ini
