FREEZING OUT WOMEN TEACHERS.

Local legislation affecting the interests of public
school principals in Philadelphia that has recently
been passed, and that which is prospective in the
near future, is becoming interesting to some of the
women engaged in the profession There is a bill
under consideration in the board of education,
which, if it becomes an ordinance, will admit only
men as principals in the boys grammar schools of
this city, Under the ordinances now in force
there are thirty-one of these schools in Phila-
delphia. In twenty-six of them men are en-
ployed and in five there are six ladies in charge
Many of the lady principals friends, including
some of the members of the board of education,
are just beginning to find out that an ordinance
was passed by councils last month and signed by
the mayor on Tuesday, by which the salaries of
the male principals of the boys grammar schools
have been increased from 81 ,645 year to 81 ,815,
this change to become effective from January |,
1888, while the women principals will continue to
be paid at the old rate for doing the same work as
the male principals
Many of those who have learned of the new Or
dinance are under the impression that the bill with
the word email" in it was passed by mistake,
but this is not the case, as Mr.. Bardsleys, chair
men of councils finance committee, by which it
was considered and reported to common council,
said in reference to the matter that the petition to
councils asking for the increase was signed only by
males, and that the word "mae" was in it.

TEMPERANCE IN THE sCHoOL-RoOM.

Mrs. M. H. Hunt of Massachusetts, has brought
a iority of the voters who will rule this country
at the opening of the next century under laws
which make scientific instruction as to alcoholics
and narcotics compulsory in the common schools.
Her success in this effort is an eighth wonder of
the world. More than thirty states and territories
are now under the new laws requiring scientific
temperance instruction. 1t was Mrs. Hunt who
said, 'The Star of Bethlehem for the temperance
cause hangs over the school-house.' She is
modest lady, and, although at the head of the de-
partment of scientific temperance instruction for
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, her
often heralded by the press as events of lesser
moment doubt not that her name is destined
to sparkle on the extended foreinger of history
when better age than ours makes up it's jewels.
The temperance textbooks authorized by Mrs.
Hunts department and its advisers, among whom
are many of the foremost educators and scientific
authorities of the land, all inculcate total alb
stinence.
If the Star of Bethlehem for the temperance cause
hangs over the school-house, why should tnot stand
also over the pulpit, the parlor, the press, and
politics? The preacher who is a moderate drinker,
the teacher the editor, the lecturer, or even the
politician, who is not total abstainer, and most
especially the Christian who votes for laws licens-
ing men to put the bottle to their neighbours lips,
are all, or ought all, to be pointed out by the
scornfu finger of scientific criticism and progress
as benighted and belated misleaders of public and
private opinion Congregationalst,

ARKANSAS STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

ARKANSAS STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
The next meeting of this body will be held at
Dardanelle, Ark, June 20 to %, 1888, and the
time is now at hand when the program of work for
that occasion shall be arranged
In order that the hearty cooperation of every
teacher in the state, whether member of the as
ISOLATION or not, may be secured, the executive
committee sends you this letter, in recognition of
the fact that, occupying the position that you do,
you will cheerfuly lend us your assistance in our
efforts to make our next convention grand
success.
The position of the teacher of to-day cannot be
an equvocal one either his efforts and aims are
for the advancement of his chosen profession or
else he is recreant to the trust he has voluntarily
assumed.
If it be necessary that other professions must
organize, must concentrate their varied energies
in order to bring their abors to successful ISSUE
if it be necessary that they share each others
eounsels, and be upheld by spirit of fraternity
in their varied spheres how much more obvious is
it that all the wisdom of careful study and obser-
walton and experience, that all the warm sympathy
that may be accorded by those who bear the same
weight of responsibility should be at the teachers
command, in order that his labors, shaping not
only the mortal but the immortal shall have rich
fruition.
Presuming that we may depend upon you, as
far as may be in your power to aid us, we ask that
you will favor us with an immediate answer to the
following questions:
Should circumstances permit, will you be in at
tendance at the next meeting of the association?
If in the opinion of the executive committee
your name had best appear on the program, will
you accept the work agreeing to be in attendance
if possible, prepared on the subject assigned?
Do you prefer to select your own subject or will
you leave this to the committee?
Free entertainment will be provided as far as
possible by the citizens of Dardanele, and every
effort will be expended to make our visit peasur-
able as well as profitable.
Reduced rates will be secured as far as may be
on the different railroads.
BY order of executive committee.

WHAT SHALL THE BOYS AND GIRLS READ.

WHAT SHALL THE BOYS AND GIRLS READ.
We need school libraries very much. There is
no other way of introducing boys and girls to
good, wholesome reading matter. What is educa-
ton worth if it does not lead the individual to find
association in books and of what service is it to
him if his taste runs to the vulgar dime novel?
Get the children interested in books Of elementary
science, in Cooper, Scott, Defoe, Holland, Alcott
and Irving, in the Youths Companion and ST.
Nicholas, and their education is worth much to
them. 1t is not necessary to have an extensive
library In the average country district fifty vol
umes will be good beginning and do wonders in
awakening an interest in school. The question
should not be how many volumes can be put in the
library but how many pupils you can interest in
using the books. Make the beginning by giving
Christmas entertainment to which small admis-
sion fee is charged. Spend the $40, $40 or $50
collected in buying choice books, books that will
develop the child Intellectually and morally. I'm
provise cheap box, or safe, clean place of de-
post. Read them yourself, talk to the children
about the contents, and let the children have an
opportunity to consult them in school. If pupils
get so anxious to read them as to neglect the as
signed lessons, make the permission to read at
school depend on good lessons Don't say you
can't get the children interested. Begin on his
torcal fiction, then take up biographical and his
torical works. The tastes of the boys and girls
will be wonderfully improved. They will make
better citizens, better business men, more refined
in society, and above all become cultured in the
true sense Mo. School Journal.

elizabeth Barrett Browning is regarded as the
greatest female poet of all time, whilst the greatest
living master of English prose is John Ruskin,"
and the greatest American novelift, Nathaniel
Hawthorn.
"What shall l do with my daughters?" The
question was put by friend, farmer who had
three grown daughters, and no sons "Now, "
he continued, ''if they were boys l would know
what to do with them. +" Why not givexhem the
same advantages you would boys; educate them
to do something and do it well, to maintain
themselves, to be self reliant.
During the last decade, woman has made rapid
advancement. We find her employed in the pull
pit at the bar as reporter, teacher, DOCTOR nurse,
inventor, actress store-keeper, agent, clerk,
cashier In short, many ways are open for her
now by which she can make an independent
living. Surely no one need ask at the present
time, What shall do with my daughters?

THE WATER PROBLEM.
Its Solution Arrived At---Condition Of
Trail Creek Water Works.

The present scarcity Of water for
domestic use, although unprece-
dented IN the history of ketchum,
is a warning that as our population
increases the people may be COM
PEELED to look elsewhere than to
Trail creek for the necessary sup
ply. The river is over half a mile
away and, under the present method
of supplying the town, water from
that source would be much more
expensive. The creek water, how
ever, is simply unfit for house use.
A stroll along it's banks will con-
vince any observer of this fact and
reveal a condition of things not
altogether savory to the person who
daily drinks the water. 1t IS low
and sluggish in places and contain,
mated by all manner of filth and
putrid matter. This is natural
consequence Of warm weather and
the hog wallows and swimming
ponds to which many Of the pools
and private dams of the creek are
now appropriated. Boys and dogs
by the dozen daily go swimming in
the creek but Il few hundred feet
above the point at which our drink
ing water is taken.
There are number Of valuable
springs along the hills east of town
and from these could no doubt be
obtained suAiciency of pure water
for all purposes by the expenditure
of few hundred dollars to lay
pipes into town. We understand
that Judge Lewis and others have
recently located one of these about
Il mile from town and at an eleva
ton of three or four hundred feet
above it, from which, by Il little
digging, volume of at least fifteen
miners inches of very cool, deli
cious water was obtained. A jug
of this water was brought to town
and given chemical test which
showed it to be absolutely pure
equal to distilled water. 1t flows
from a white sandstone belt and
gushes from the ground in beau
tiful. clear stream. Considering the
extreme dryness of the season this
quantity of water in spring is in
deed remarkable and is evidence
that it is controlled by no surface
agencies. In all probability, how
ever, it would be greatly increased
by surface water under ordinary cir
cumstances. This water, for in
stance, could be conducted to Main
street in 4-inch iron pipes at a cost
not to exceed $500 and would at
once supply the town with excel
lent water for domestic purposes
and a pressure sufficient to throw
a stream over the highest building
in the place, thus affording perma-
nent and reliable means of extin-
gushing fires. Here is PROPOSE
ton worthy of the consideration of
every citizen interested in health
and the preservation of life and

RATHER RANDOM.

Mr.. Vineyard said that Idaho produced
lead ready tor the market at cost OF $50
per ton, while "Spain cannot get Ton Of
lead ready for less than $40-$5O is the
correct sum-" He was again mistaken.
Foreign lead has been sold in New York
for IS 80 per 100 pounds This inc'uses
the tantf $40, freight across the ocean
Certainly $lO, brokerage and commits
sion, leaving scarcely $50 per ton for the
metal.
Does any body suppose that Spain is
producing lead al loss of over 100 per
cent !-HaiIey Times.
Certainly not, and every word
that Mr.. Vineyard uttered was upon
an entirely safe basis. What Spain
HAS done and what Spain is doing,
are widely different in effect. The
above comment is rather random.
On the date of Mr.. Vineyards
speech Spanish lead was selling in
London at not less than $3.4O per
hundred weight. Add to this taiiff,
81, freight, $40 according to the
limes), and we have Sc. 80, to which
should be added brokerage and
commission, per cent.-$O.29, CIV
ing total of 1913. Inasmuch as
London CONTROLS the European lead
market that is the lowest possible
figure ut which Spanish lead could
have been laid down in New York
at that time. Assume it to be So 50,
for sake of illustration, and sub
tract from this amount tariff, freight,
brokerage and commission and you
have LETT to the Spanish producers,
the amount of $54.2O per ton, and
yet they cannot ship US pound OF
lead on that basis. Mr.. Vineyard
was considerably under the correct
amount when he said $50. Under
the Mills bill the cost OF placing
foreign lead in America would be
the same, less $O.75 per hundred,
which, subtracted from S. 10 leaves
$5.44, the minimum figure at that
days quotations abroad.
We would suggest that the Times
man can improve his arithmetic as
we'll as his knowledge of the lead
market. When he speaks of "a loss
of over 100 per cent" he presuma-
bly, doesn't consider that the Span
iards would loose everything and
more-pay the Americans to take
it away!
The foregoing data will be sub
stantiated by reference to the Amer
lean and European lead quotations
Of the day in question.

BELLEVUE. Idaho, Oct. 9Th.

THE Statesman is quite protuse
in it's endorsement Of Governor
Stevenson, and truthfully says that
his friends and neighbors have not
sought to pull him down, but on
the contrary have sustained hun
and rejoiced to see his executive
duties honestly and honorably per-
formed. The Statesman is now
playing for political boom tor
Dubois. 1t did not talk so prettlly
of Gov. Stevenson about one year
ago last July, when not only the
chief executive but every other ted
eral official was insulted by the re-
publican celebration ring. Kecelv-
ing a newly-appointed citizen Gov
ernor is one thing and ovating a
man grasping for political booming
material quite another. But not
withstanding this difference Gov.
Stevenson will no doubt meet Mr..
Dubois upon his arrival with all
the warmth that the latter's stew
ardship deserves.-Democrat.

On Mormonism, the. democrats
dislike to be spouting continually,
because every figure, every fact,
every governmental report endorses
Hawley as Il territorial officer who
brought polygamist Mormons to

to abide by the laws.
But no more do we hear the cry
that Hawley is for free trade. Free
lead is as ridiculous as free whisky.

Idaho. He is an Idaho democrat,
and as such he knows that the min-
