PUBLIC SCHOOL WORK.
rprrrppy ruErxAcurns.

l
Some time since sapt. MeSrtv asked the
! question: "Why do so many teachers drop
out of the ranks every year."
We will briefly reply to this.
There are many at the head of our public
schools called teachers that are not. They
are simply keepers-some not even that.
There was a time whenpeni1e thought that
if one possessed something of an education he
could teach school. Being fortunate in hav-
ing a kinsman or II particular friend upon
the school board insured employment. All
these things brought teachers into disrepute.
No ambitious person cared to remain in
work that had no fixed aim.
Now, thanks to such men as Drs. Hopkins,
Philbrick, Allen and many others teaching
is taking it place among the professions. 1t
is taking upon itself the dignity Of eleva,ing
mankind in the ennoblement of character,
the making OF better men aud the quicken
ing Of mind.
To be good teacher requires broad, search
ing views, Il love tor humanity and an ever
quickening purpose of mo.al work. That
teacher who looks alone to a pecnDiary result,
thinking OF the money that must come TO him,
is altogether unfit for the place he holds. We
10 not Wish 90 be understood TO infer that the
teacher should not be well paid for what he
does. He must lire, and correct pleasures of
life do him good as well as the rest of man
kind. We simply wish IN be understood to
say that selfish purposes are not the true OBJ
jec.. of life. Those who seek to improve
others improve themselves. These are the
teachers. Such remain in the work as long
as health will permit. a cold fact might be
named here, to-wit:
No honorable occupation says the vitality
like that OF active teaching.
This last explains why many have left the
work.
AS the world comes to know orr just work,
| and our appreciation Of 1t, we will be looked
upon something more than passive beings
| -"only school teacher" The premium
that is thus placed upon our profession will
hold Us there. There should be constant
examination OF our motives. Let the teacher
try to imbibe a lofty spirit; let him look at
the pupils before him beings worthy OF his
highest endeayors: let him view his work as
far above commercial motive; let him ask
himself again aud agaiu, 1sy do teach.
As concluding sentence we may say, It's
not teachers, as a whole, that are stepping
out OF our ranks: Ills those, who. for soriid
gain alone, try TO take up our work.

HIS HAND AGAINST EVERY MAN.
Some Pleasant Words from Mr. higdHs
About Party Associates.

CHICAGO, June 24-The Daily Ne'cs
prints the following letter from Senator In
gals, received by a member of the Kansas
delegation in the Republican convention
"V7oe Presidents Chamber, Washington,
June 16.-Yours of the 18th at hand. 1t
does not make much difference who is NOM
mated in my judgment. The candidates
will cut but a small figure in the fight. We
can elect anybody, or we shall fail. The
least conspicuous and therefore the least
complicated man will be the best, somebody
like Hayes in 1876 Among all the men
named there is not one leader'-no one
whose personal or historical relations to
the people would make a difference of 600
votes in the canvass. Sherman, Allison,
Harrison. etc, have records that would be
awkward on the tariff, the currency, the
Chinese question, etc. Depew's connection
with railroads and corporations would be
heavy load, especially in the agricultural
States. We might as well nominate Gould
or Vanderbilt at once. My impression Is
that Alger or Gresham come nearer filling
the bill than any of the others, with some
fellow like Phelps, of New Jersey, who
could reach the conservative forces of the
East and get contributions from the manu-
facturers and Wall street. But you can
Judge much better than l what is best after
consulting the delegates.
1 have the use of the wires during the
convention by the courtesy Of the company
and you can therefore telegraph me fully
at all times if anything of interest trans
pires. Truly yours,
JOHN J. INGALLS,"

Gov. Hill, Of New York, was at Coney
Island when informed of the nomination of
Gen. Harrison by the Republicans. He
said well every Democrat ought to be
abundantly satisfied with it. 1t has been
said that nothing succeeds like success.
Might it not also be said that nothing de-
feats like defeat? Wasn't Harrison beaten
by Williams for Governor and by Turpie
for Senator? Did he ever have the sup
port of the workingman, and isn't his re-
cord on Chinese labor rather too pr6nOunc-

that everyone, without exception, receives
vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall upon

to continue their rayages they extend to the

Ertract room IrashinqtOm Letter.

Senators Kenna and Faulkner are noticed
of late to have great deal to talk about.
One can enter the galleries of the Senate
chamber and look down on the sluggish
looking body and see the two West Virgin
ians engaged in earnest conversation. Us
ually about half-past twelve every day Ken
ma can be noticed to move over towards
Faulkner's desk, which is in a more seclu-
ded locality than that of the senior Senator,
and haul up chair, when the two engage
in whispered conference. What 1t IS all
about can only be surmised.
West Virginia's team in the United states
Senate compares quite we'll with that from
any other State. Both are able and indus
trious workers. Faulkner is probably one
of the hardest, if not the most, industrious
working member of the distinguished body.
l was looking over the official record of the
work done by individual members of the
Senate during the last ten days, To begin
with. observe that Faulkner was appoint
ed as a member of a conference committee
to whip into shape some bill on which the
two branches of Congress had had disa-
greement. Next l find that he offered an
amendment to the bill providing for bet
ter protection for young girls in the District
of Columbia. Among the bills and joint
resolutions introduced by him was bill to
equalize the pay of Assistant L. 5. Attor-
neys, and bill for the relief of c. NJ. Sha-
fer. Among the motions made by him was
one relative to the improvement of the Shen-
andoah river. | also find that he has pre-
sented innumerable petitions. He has writ
ten and presented one report on billwhich
had been considered by the Committee on
Claims; three reports for the Committee on
the District of Columbia; and six reports
from the Committee on Pensions. In adj
diton to this work he has been promptly
and constantly in his seat whenever the
Senate was in session. This work for ten
days will compare very favorably for the
Junior Senator from West Virginia with
that of the work done by any other Sena-
tor. The committee work is what counts,
but it never shows up on the surface. Mr..
Faulkner is a member of three of the hard
est worked committees in Congress, and he
has given his attention strictly to his duties
ever since he came to the Senate, ignoring,
as a general thing the social requirements
of a gentleman holding the position of SEN
ator.
