Lies, Damn Lies?
Lies, Damn Lies?
Statistics
is a branch of economics, but it is often said that there be lies, damn lies,
and statistics. Recent statistics of British life shown that the family will be
happier than it used to be. The youth of today is likely to live longer than
the previous generation. People owning more things than they used to, but more
police are employed to fight crime. Mathematics is a subject which is studied
more by boys than by girls, as physics. The earnings of working women will be
getting higher all the time and many women earn more than their husbands. Good
manners are declining. The public will spend more on clothes, and clothes are becoming
more and more expensive. Glasses will be worn by more people, but only a
minority favor contact lenses. Statistics are making us want to grind our teeth
and can probably tell us if we have any teeth left to grind!
