Trainsd Teachars.

Trained school teachers are needed in
this state. The public school system can
not be greatly improved. however niue
the appropriation for the public schools may
be, until competent teachers are obtained.
The State Teachers Association, now in
session at Bruins wick. is considering the best
method Of providing competent teachers.
Such teachers cannot OF course, be had
by simply advertising for them. An offer
Of much better salaries than those now paid
would not secure them, because they
are not to be had. Even in those Of the
northern states in which there are normal
schools, and in which great deal of atten-
tion has been given to training teachers,
there is a great want of competent teachers.
In this state there are no schools which
give special attention to the preparation Of
men and women for the occupation Of
teaching, and the salaries paid to teachers
outside of the larger towns, are not such as
to induce those who would make good
teachers to think of preparing themselves
for teaching as a life work.
Some of the most progressive members of
the teachers association favor the estab-
lishment of normal schools, and the chan
cellor Of the state university has a plan
for making the training of men for teachers
a feature CT the university. Now that the
need Of better teachers is being brought to
the attention of the people, there is ground
for hoping that the agitation of the subject
will be continued until some plan is adopted
for providing such teachers as are necessary
to make the public school system a
succesS
The first thing to do is to agree as to the
plan that should be adopted for meeting the
demand for better teachers.
Having settled that question the next step
would be to get the legislature to appro-
pirate the money necessary for carrying the
plan into effect. 1t would not be an easy
matter to get the legislature to appropriate
money for a school in which to train teach
ers. A very large proportion of nearly
every legislature elected in this state believes
that no special training is needed to be a
teacher, and not q few legislators are con-
WINGED that the public schools cost more
than they are worth.
1t would not, therefore, be an easy task
to get the Legislature to provide for normal
schools. or for training school for teachers
at the state university. But agitation will
accomplish wonders. and if those who wish
to see the standard of the public schools
raised will work together, harmoniously
and theoretically, they will finally accom-
plish their object.
No doubt as good results as possible are
obtained from the public schools as they
are now organized and conducted, but how
much greater results would be obtained
from them if they were in competent
hands in all parts of the state.
BY agitation the annual public school ap-
preparation has been greatly increased
within the last year or two. And if the ag-
itation is kept up and wisely conducted the
public schools, within a comparatively few
years, will be upon a much higher plane
than they are at present.

The Rejection of Blair.


Ex-senator Blair has come to the con-
olusion by this time probably that he talks
too much. When the opportunity has pre-
seuted itself he has said s1me very IN
kind things about the Chinese, and there is
some reason for thinking that he said them
because he thought they would increase his
popularity, and not because he believed
them. 1t would have been much better for
him if he had not said them at all, if he did
not know they were true. Among other
things it is stated that in one of his speeches
he declared the Chinese were the vilest of
mankind
The Chinese on the Atlantic coast do not
appear to have taken much notice of him,
or bis attacks upon them, but those on the
Pecitic coast, particularly the Chinese mer-
chants of San Francisco, remember his
anti-Chinese speeches, and when he was ap-
pointed minister to China they sent a Pc
tition to their home government in which
they pointed out that he was not a friend Of
China. And they furnished the Chinese
emperor with interesting extracts from his
speeches.
Only few days ago Mr.. Blair declared
that he felt very kindly toward China. His
feelings have undergone a change, apparent
ly, since he was appointed to the Chinese
mission. But he will not represent this
government at the capital of the Fiowery
Kingdom. The announcement which Mr..
Blaine has received, that Mr.. Blair is not
wanted there, is sufficient to keep him away
from that country. 1t excludes him as effect
ally as the Chinese exclusion act excludes
the Chinese from this country. And the
spirit of the Chinese is to be admired. Mr..
Blair has more than the average amount of
presumption, or he would not have ac-
copied the Chinese mission after having
charged the Chinese with being the vilest
of mankind.
srhe japanese mission is acant, and per-
haps the Japanese government will have no
objection to Mr.. Blair. He has said moth
ing unpleasant about the japanese. But if
they, too, should refuse TO receive him the
President would hardly know what to do
with him. He must have an office, it seems,
and he does not appear to be wanted any
where in this country.

Tho Florida Contast.

The New York Sun, in commenting on
the senatorial contest at Tallahassee, says:
Mr.. William D. Chipley, a rich railroad
man of Florida, is the head and front of
the opposition to the reelection of the Hon.
Wilkinson Call to the Senate Mr.. Chipley
adorns his head with a beautiful silk hat.
Mr. Call puts a rakish meridiaual slouch
hat upon his brain case. The supporters Of
Call are styled the wool hat boys" The
Chipley opposition is derided by the wool
hat boys as silk hat corporation agents. "
There seems to be an opportunity for a
derby hat candidate to win, as a COM
promise"
a compromise candidate is not in sight
yet. And Calls supporters are standing by
him with a courage and firmness that indi-
cate that they are bound to be successful.
1t is certain that none Of the candidates
that have yet been put up by the opposition
would make more acceptable senator than
Call. And it is a question whether candi-
date can be found who can draw his sup
porters away from him. AS yet the "wool
hat boys' are ahead of the "silk nat corpo.
ration agents."
