There are many happy, comfortable
people who believe that women have
no grievances as a class. There are
good people who believe that women
are getting as good as they deserve.
Some OF these point TO our lady school
teachers as example Of the generOsi-
~ Of the times to women in the mat
ter Of employment. and deny that
anywhere women of fair ability are
under-paid, or under-valued yet the
same good people insist that women
are exceptionally good teachers
specially fitted 10 teach indeed
teaching has been nearly always con-
sidered legitimate work for women.
especially the schools for girls or
young ehlldren-any sort Of school
that was least desirable or lucrative.
And all this Notwithstanding, the
women teachers in Massachusetts, are
valued, relatively, much lower than
In any other State; and this not be-
cause they work fewer hours, or be-
cause they have less experience or
ability, but because the highest aud
best paid positions In the public
schools OF Massachusetts, are never
given 10 women. There seems 10 be
some superstition that the principal
Of school should be man, even II
the teachers under HIM are women OF
three times his ability. This practice
extends beyond the limits OF the
Massachusetts State line we regret TO
say that the progressive West follows
up this Eastern tradition q little too
close to be consistent with good conn.,
mon sense. The average monthly
salary OF the male teachers IN Massa-
chuseels ts Sl0290; Of the female
teachers it Is S34.32-One-thlFd Of the
salary the male teachers get for doing
no better work and no more Of it. It
Is not so bad IN other States. Maine
pays her male teachers an average Of
So, 80: females, S2240. Pennsyl-
vania, males SIS - females, S2S.29.
Illinois, males, S46.S8 females, SS7.T6. |
New York pays her female teachers |
about 90 per cent. Of the sum she pays /
her male teachers. And yet some /
good people continue 20 say that /
6vOmanis infiuenee'is so all powerful /
that any other weapon Of defense /
WOuld be worse than useless 10 give /
her.
While wilkins Aicawber waited /
for something 20 turn up" he dis
pensed good advice and sound phi /
tusophy as follows:
''COpperlield, my boy, one pound
income, twenty shillings and six

But, Copperfieid, my boy, one pound /

in duty were we to fail to make tlis
incident point n moral. Young men
travel from place to place, more often
than otherwise they are adventurers,
or refugees from justice, withou. char.
acter, aud caring little for their public
or private acts. Sometimes they are
taken into private families as hoip or
arc given the hospitality so literally
extended by the true western people.
Daughters of the most respectable
families are infatuated with them, and
frequent elopements, unhappy mar
riages, or what is worse, disgrace, fol

When the taxosar collected and the
various funds apportioned there will
be quite neat little sum in the fund
known as the road and bridge fund.
The amount levied for the current
year amounts to about $500, and there
was on the frat of January more than
5000 belonging to this fund in the
treasury. Fines levied and collected
by the last district court and the
amounts occasionally coming into this
fund from fines, forfeitures, ETC.,
should place this department of conn
~ finance in good condition. The
commissioners estimated last yenr
that 5000 would be sufficient to meet
the road expenses, and this year about
the same amount has been levied.
The fnes are not yet taken into &C
count, but seem to DO accommodating

expanding the same in the best inter

prosperity there must be an effort put
forth by the business men and citizens
Of the county to control the trade
which 1t has formerly held, aud this
can only be done by making the very
best roads possible, and offering every
other inducement to the people west
of the town. Ii is the sentiment of n
large portion of business men of the

payable In instalments with the Inter
est as 1t may accrue, aud in this way
bridge could be- procured with very
light annual tax and could be paid for
in small installments by the people
while using it. This matter should be
