The author claims that over two-thirds majority of each class spend from $810 to $1,410; but this evidently a mere guess based upon data altogether insufficient.

Moreover the author does not treat consistently the material he has actually collected, for he states near the beginning of his article that he has made the highest grade...

I must apologize for taking up so much of your valuable space...
