HOVE lNsURAHcE.-Ihc idea of oforganizing
home Insurance Company in this city, on
permanent and living affair :-onc OF the
institutions, Of the city aud State in which
we live, has long been talked Of among our
busines men. Indeed they have talked too
much, and acted too little. While they were
talking about it and wondering whether it
could be made to pay, and pondering as to
the probable period Of its existence, numer
ous companies have sprung into life all about

population or one tenth the unemploy cd
capital that Davenport can furnish and have
been picking up thousands and thousands

Insurance Company might just as well have
got, had one been organized, aud in good
running order.
But at last the talk has been happily ter
minated and action is the order. A good
number Of our influential citizens have taken
the matter in hand, and now we are to have
a bona fide Insurance Company. In fact

stated that her name was Nellie Baker,
that she had been engaged to Brown before

Browns return, she met him at the depot,
went With him to lows City, and with him

school Board and SCHOOL Teach.

GESs
Mn. EDlToR Please allow me as citi-
zen interested in tho prosperity Of our city
and especially in our schools, through your
columns to protest against the penny wise
and pound foolish system dcrsucd by our
city Board of School Directors.
For years they rave pcrsued . plan di
! rectly calculated to drive away our best
| teachers, that's, to pay them only one-half
or two thirds as much as they can get for
teaching elsewhere. Let me contrast the
prices paid here with those in other cities,
| and to make it more definite, will cite only
grammar schools. Principals Of grammar
schools in New York receives 81. .25O, Bos-
ton $2,2OO, Brookly $4,000, Philadelphia
$500, 81. Louis $500, Cincinnati $500,
Chicago tl50O, Davenport $SOO-with
30 per cent of il the Board choose.
and the comparison in other departments
show similar contrast.
Last year no less than seven Of our very
best teachers left our schools. Why. Be-
cause their services commanded better pay
and other cities were willing 70 give it.
And the excuse VI the Boafd for allowing
this is that we cannot afford to keep the
bes. teachers.
/ we can Afford to eat - good food, to
wear as good clothes, to live in IS good
houses, to employ IS good Lawyers and
Doctors as any other city east or west; but
We cannot afford to employ the best teach
| ers.
Tis not because our citizens complain Of
the exhorbi;ant wages paid to teachers
It's not because the teachers are getting
rich; tis' not because our teachers are in
feror to the best and deserve only small
salaries.
Tis' simply lack Of judicious liberality
on the part of the Board-and | for. one,
protest agsinst it.
