Extra Money Every: It can be argued, for instance, that if children were more strongly motivated to read, and reading standards were improving, then the school would probably need to spend money on extra books. Success in reading should spur children to read more, and as reading improves, books at more advanced levels will be required. So if we ask schools whether they are spending more money on books, and what sort of books they are buying, we have an objective measure, which probably reflects the attitudinal and motivational changes in the school.
GRESHAM'S LAW, gresh'amz, in economics, is usually stated as "bad money drives out good." The law stems from the fact that money has a value both as money and as a commodity in the open market. The former value is set arbitrarily by law and is relatively fixed; the latter is determined by supply and demand and varies from time to time, "Good money" has a higher value as a commodity than as money and will disappear from circulation.
While you are getting started and before you've lined up all the work you can handle at ten-dollars-a-shot prices, you can pick up a good deal of extra money every day by shooting pictures of the men at work, and selling contact prints to the subjects at a dollar each. |
