A "Leader," What is 1t E!

Any newspaper editor, journalist,
or Bohemian knows what a leader is,
better than he can define in it words.
As the name implies, leader is the
vanguard of all the other reading
matter in we'll conducted journal.
The subject-matter, then, and COM
position of such an article should be
commensurate with its assumed and
nominal importance: Whenever this
fundamental rules Violated, a glar-
ing incongruitx is tn sure result,
and intelligent !snd 9fpectant read
ers throw down tntpsp per in disgust.
Every we'll conducted paper should
expect to make sort Of debut in its
editorial, which is only another quail
fled name for its leader. Like the
stuffine in fat turkey. good leader
should be prolific of the tid-bits of
thought, tremendously combined
with elaborate mental effort and we'll
arranged, cogent argument. Unlike
restaurant hash, good leader should
neither be too gritty nor capillary.

The Wages of School-Teachers.

A resolution has been introduced
into the Common Council of San
Francisco to reduce the salaries of
teachers. A so-called financial en-
barrassment is said to have impelled
the Board of Education to take this
step as last resort, and yet it seems
that the members of that Board sig
nally fail to tell the public just how
or where their embarrassment comes
in, or from what source it springs.
Be this as it may, the money is run
ming low, there is bar'ly enough
for the officers" and something must
be done. But to come back to the
poor school teachers. This class of
workers are getting to be in good
deal the same difficulty in San Fran
cisco as were the teachers of the
city of New York. several years ago.
They are ruled with a rod of iron:
driven to the drudgery Of the school,
room by pincbins want, and then
for their unremitting labor. involving
muscle and brain, paid a salary
shamefully below that of hostler, a
porter or saloon clerk. Among the
Greeks and Romans, slaves were cn-

10 show thai We are not alone IN the
discussiou Of the schOol-book aues-
ton ~e present our readers with a
couple Of extracts, the one from the
or-yDn !Ssaf,sman. the other frou the
H7ncury, giving their unqualified
views On this subject which Is no~
generally agitating the minds of ell
ucators. II will lie seen that this :
not a political issue, but an obstin-
aiely contested strife between a
greedy publishins-houSe in San
Francisco, represented by their lob
byists at the Legislature, and Tie
sovereign people Of Oregon. Under
the caption of The School Book
Fraud, the Statesman says:
The Legislature now in session will l..
called upon Ia take some action on the
st.iIOol-isok question. there bring uiI. or
more bills already int. oductd relating to
this matter. In dom, 80 we hope that
some iudicious action will lie held. We
-
tenn but that uniformity should be made
up of the best books
We take the following from the
Salem Mercury, which we fully ell
dorse.
I'VE do hope the Legislature may sue
coed i'll amending our school laws so that
the people may be freed from the unjust
and cXOrbitant changes of the firm which
under the present law has secured a mon
Oply of the schOol-Dook business of this
State. Better books can be had for one
halt the money, and there are persons in
this city prepared to furnish them just as
soon as the schools are permitted to use
other books. That law was passed for the
benefit of Messrs Bancroft x Co., of SAN
Francisco, and at every session OF the Leg
islature the firm has u lobby here to see
that their outrageous monopoly is contiii-
ued, and so far they have succeeded. We
hope the present Democratic Legislature
may put an end to so great an Injustice
to the people of this State as This law
works, and allow fair competition in the
school-book business. This State pays to
the firm of Bancroft Il Co., no less than
$4,000 per year more than those books
should cost simply because u series OF
books have been adopted of which they
have the copyright, and they are thus al
lowed to change such prices As they choose,
had for hall the nioney-and we think less
than that. Don't let this piece of injustice
stand any longer. Don't let Il California
firm, with hir lobby, swindle Oil peo-
pie out of 5000 pear rs they are now do
ing. We think This III tier was pretty thor
oughly discussed during the canvass last
spring, and we believe most of the MEM
bers of the Legislature know the wishes
OF their constituents, and we trust they
will do their duty"
1t will he seen at a glance exactly
how the land lies. The Pacific Coast
Series is in bad odor with the better
portion of the intelligent people of
Oregon, while the publishers, a
princely firm, are striving, by paid
agents, to get legal recognition of
their books, and thus compel the
people to buy and use them as the
only authorized series.
