The project Of building bridge across the
English channel continues to attract atten-
ton. The distance from Folkestone to Cape
Girls Nez on the French coast is but twenty
four miles. For large part of the distance
the water of the channel is less than hun
dred feet deep. At only one place does 1t
reach the depth of a hundred and eighty
feet. The piers of the Thames river bridge
between New London and Groton had to be
laid at a greater depth than the average of
the English channel, and moreover, they had
to be laid in treacherous mud, while the bot
tom of the channel between England and
France is solid and offers an excellent foun-
dation. A proposition is now under serious
consideration to erect massive piers about
sixteen hundred feet apart, connected with
steel trusses, and it is said that engineers es.

AN ImPORTANT QUESTION.


An interesting question has been raised in
Chiesgo. It is asserted that in no place in
the world, whore public schools are supports
ed, is the proportion of male to female,
teachers as small as in the city of Chicago.
Fully nine-tenths of the pupils leave school
without having received an hours instruc-
ton from male teacher. Every year the
proportion of male teachers becomes smaller.
In almost every instance where male teach-
er dies of old age or resigns, female has
been elected to fill his place. At the present
rate Of decrease there will be no male
teachers in the, public schools Of the city
twenty years hence. The absence of the male
teachers in the primary and grammar schools
and the small number employed in the high
schools have already produced an important
change. Very few boys remain in the
school after they are twelve years old. Gem
orally there are not enough of them, even in
large school, to organize base ball club.
They look out of place, it is said, and seem
to realize their situation. If boy remains
to finish the high school course he finds him-
self on commencement day on a stage with
ten sweet girl graduates ranged on either
side of him.
The question raised by these statements is
serious one, and might we'll receive some
attention in other places than Chicago.
