Quiet operation, surpassing beauty and lasting economy have further increased an already overwhelming prefer. ence of buyers everywhere. This tremendous volume has resulted in further produc- tion economies. In accordance with the fixed policy of General Motors these economies are being passed on to Savings as great as $90 We therefore announce a sweeping reduction in the prices of household models, amountingtoas much as $90, effective December 10th. A comparison ofFrigidaire value, with any other electric refrigerator will emphasize the importance of this further reduction of prices. We are glad to make this announcement at the pres- ent time for it will enable many additional thousands of homes to have the advan- tages of Frigidaire Automatic Refrigeration for Christmas. The New Frigidaires, and details of prices and terms are now available at Frigid- aire display rooms every- where. FRIGIDAIRE CORPORATION, Subsidiary of General Motors, DAYTON, OHIO STOVER CO.

C. Moore, sec- retary of the State Teachers' associa- tion. But Mr. Moore says also that his organization is making an earnes: effort to inform the public that the in- creases in the state school fund in re- cent years have really fallen far behind the increases in total state expendi- tures, and that it is time now for more liberal appropriations for equalizing educational opportunities, According to a study made 1ecentiy by the research department of the association, the appropriation for the state school fund for the biennium, October 1, 1913 to September 30, 1915, was $6,000,000, and for all state pur- poses, $37,905,457. In 1919, the legislature changed the fiscal year to begin July 1; and for the biennium July 1, 1925 to June 30, 1927, the appropriation for the state school fund was $16,000,000, and for all state purposes, $285,907,382. Therefore, the increase in the biennial appropriation for the state school fund was 167 per cent, while for all state purposes the increase was 654 per cent. If it is claimed that not all appro- priations are actually expended and that it is fairer to compare actual ex- penditures, such a comparison still shows the state school fund far behind. For in the first biennium named above, the state treasury actually paid out only $40,633,023, and in the second bi- ennium named it paid out $156,348,304. Therefore, while the state school fund increased 167 percent, the total state expenditures increased 285 per cent. If the large increases in general state expenditure are excused by say- ing that they are paid out of revenues from sources other than the property tax, the school people answer that the revenues from these other sources may well be appropriated to the school fund. If the children in the poorer dis- tricts of Illinois are to have a fair chance to get a good common school education, the state school fund must be increased in about the same ratio as other state expenses, and no one should be led to oppose such increase by the false propaganda that the state school fund has been the main cause of the increases in state expenditures.
