The article discusses about the closing of public schools due to lack of money. Chicago is not only place in the U.S. where the government has gone broke. In Laurens County, Georgia, more than half of public schools, with an enrolment of 5,000 children, have been closed until next autumn because of lack of money with which to pay the teachers. An effort was made to borrow funds with which to carry on, but banks both in and out of the State refused to make any further loans until the indebtedness for 1928 and 1929 was cleared up.
