The School Question.
ditor of the Republican.

To the Editor of the Republican.
Will you please allow me space in
your paper for few thoughts in re-
ply to our friend A. NJ. of Keyser.
He still seems to think that the
teachers salaries should be reduced
81 per month in order to ruh our
schools five months. | agree with
him that the teachers would rather
teach five months at a reduction of
81 per month than to teach 35 days
at the salaries now paid. But
would the reduction run our schools
FIVE months? By no means. We
have about 1874 teachers in Garrett
county. Deduct 81 per month and
Tor II months, the length of our
term this year, and you have &469.
Now it costs us oyer 5000 per day
to run our schools and with this re-
ductlon we could run our schools
about two days longer.
Our friend does not realize what
it costs a teacher to prepare himself
for the position. He must also re-
member that teacher has expenses
to bear while teaching. | will en-
deavor to show our friend what the
teachers are making at the salaries
now paid:
If we should have four months
school a first grade teacher who is
getting $50 per month would make
$l20. But now consider the eX-
penses. He must attend Normal a
term of ten weeks and that is gen.
orally held when work is plenty and
wages good. His time then is
worth at least $40 and his board,
books and tuition will cost him at
least $50. Boarding while teaching
four months will cost him at most
places $50. Now add this up and
you have 8112 in expenses. $12O
less sl12 equals IS, which he will
have left.
A second grade teacher that
would have to teach for 1928 per
month would come out $19 in debt.
AS a. Nj. puts it that wouid be
roosting rather low, wouldn't it? If
| am not badly mistaken that
would cut him out of a roosting
place altogether. l am positive it
would be lower than our Keyser
friend would like to roost.
| think this statement is sufficient
to convince our friend Coy using
his good common horse sense) that
no reduction should be made.
Our friend also says he would
like for X Y Z to explain why it
is that all classes OF laboring men
must submit to reduction
wages. This has rothing to
do with the reduction of the
teachers salaries, but think it is
very plan and easy 10 understand.
The majority OF the laDoring men
are not required to spend two and
a-hait months OF their best time in
each year to prepare himself for bis
work as the teachers Dc. They can
work the entire year and therefore
can better afford to submit TO a re-
duction of wages. 1t matters not
how hard the times are the ,cachel
must devote part OF his time in pre-.
pairing himself to discharge hi:
duties. 4 say in conclusion, give
him Il decent salary and you may
expect rome good to result.

A WISE ARMY HORSE.


The Intelligent Animal saves His Rider
from being Dashed to Death.
A correspondent relates an adven-
turc he had IN the mountains Of Ten
nessee during the war while search
ing, on horseback, for the camp Of a
friend. He rode on after dark and lost
his way. THE top Of the mountain"
he says, was covered with . dense
underground Of pines and bushes, and
In wandering around through this
maze my horse came out upon small
open space, hard and gravelly, like :
well-beaten road. Just as he stepped
over the decayed trunk Of . fallen pine
he came to full stop and refused ut
terly to move an inch. After trying
in vain to urge him on, ! having been
raised on farm and knowing the pro.
verbal sagacity Of horses, concluded
to let him have his own way; SO l
pulled him around to the left and let
go of the rein, thinking his instinct
would take lis out Of this place, which
was so distasteful to him. Imagine
my surprise when, In o few minutes,
he rearpeared on the same spot,
stepped over the same log and stopped
as before. After urging him all l
could, again pulled him around to
the left and then, giving him his own
way by dropping the bridal rein, l
thought surely he would get clear Of
the place, but after few minutes
wandering he came out on tho open
place and stepped over the identical
pine log for the third time, planted
his feet firmly on the ground and, as
before refused to go ahead an inch.
n then drove my big cavalry spurs
into his sides and whipped him and did
all ! could to make him go, but he
would not stir. l dismounted, and,
taking him by the bride, moved one
foot cautiously forward to see If 1t was
bear or other wild beast that he was
holding back from, when my foot
slipped of into empty space, by get
ting down on my knees could make
out sheer precipice below me Of, |
should judge, three hundred feet,
Straight down ! could SEQ the tops OF
trees far below me, Then, taking the
north star for my guide and my horse
by the bridle, | went back until l
found q sort Of road, which | followed
until ! met picket gunrd, and by his
directions found my friends quarters
at about midnight had my last
good, long chat with him, and the
next morning. after breakfast Of
fried hard-tack, l mounted and rode
away, never to see him again, for In
two weeks he was captured at Chicla.

One OF the veterans Of Post No. 80, In
this city, who was several times
wounded in action, was aslted TO de-
scribe how it felt to DO shot down. lie
replied that lie had made the same re-
quest Of many wounded comrades in
order TO compare notes Then he
added; 1.-THE first effect OF gunshot
wound that skaters bone Is sensa-
ton OF satisfied anticipation, as much
as to say; Here | go or Just as ex-
pected,' and the wound Is considered
hopclessly mortal as matter Of

sense of Acknowledgement, there Is q
profound feeling Of sclf-pity. This
lasts during what surgeons call the
first shock and Is the cause Of that
peculiar moaning OF tho desperately
wounded, generally attributed to phys
ical suffering alone, md familiar to oil
who have been in battle. After the
wound Is dressed or an amputation
performed there rises in the mind
faint Dawn Of hope. II this grows into

Hiram Maxim's YOuth.

When Hiram Maxim, the famous in
ventor, lived in Sangerville, anxious
mammas used to warn their hopefuls
not to play with that wicked Maxim
boy" In fact, young Maxim grew up
under the doubtful reputation of being
the very worst boy in the neighborhood.
This isn't said for the purpose of en-
couraging any other Maine incorrigibles
who are in the depths of their misdeeds.
If Hiram had been a perfectly good lit
tie boy and had devoted his time to
studying his lessons, he might have had
that flying machine all completed by
this time.
Hiram used to work at carriage
painting in Abbot and was hired by
D. d. Flynt. He was an artist with the
brush. One day a man called to see
Flynt while the latter was out. "There
has been a man in to see you," said
young Maxim. whats his name?''
II don't know, but that's how he
looks" and the boy pointed to a board
on which he had roughly daubed a face.
II forgot to ask him his name," said
the boy, "and so l drew that" Flynt
knew his man.-Lewiston Journal.

The discussion of the question of
American mail routes, which is peren-
nially revived in the English newspa.
pers, has at last taken a common sense
turn. The British postal authorities are
being roundly denounced because they
refuse TO send the mails in fast steam
ers unless they carry the British flag.
Twice last month the Saturday mails
were sent on a slow Cunarder, when
they might have reached New York
two days earlier if dispatched by the
American line. The fast German boats
leaving Southampton on Sunday and
Thursday get no mail, except specially
addressed correspondence. The British
authorities persist in limiting the mails
to America to two per week, although
four weekly mails are sent from New
York. The protest is becoming so loud
that it is barely possible that a reform
may be effected in the course of time.

WOm Ell as Farmers.

California boasts of a number of wom-
en- farmers who manage large estates,
make money and keep healthy and hap
py. The comforts of farm life here are
greater than they are in the east, and
there is a possibility of gaining more
than a mere living. Some of the wom-
en- farmers have won more than mere
local fame. Mrs. Theodosia Shepherd
Of Ventura is known in the east as a
c%ultivator of California flower seeds and
bulbs. Mrs. Strong is known far and
wide as the woman who makes a good
income by raising and selling pampas
grass. Mrs. E. P. Buckingham of Va
caville is an orchardist whose fruit
commands the highest price in eastern
markets.
Another successful agriculturist is
Mrs. Georgia Mcbride. A dozen years
ago she was an invalid, a widow, poor,
with four boys to bring up. She knew
nothing of fruit raising, but with fem
mime recklessness she purchased SO acres
OF land near San Jose and set 1t out as
an orchard. Now she is prosperous,
healthy and wealthy, as the wage earn
ers 60, and an enthusiastic advocate of
farming for women.-San Francisco
Correspondent.

A TRANscoNT,NENTAL BOULEVARD.
DR.. John +. Nagls's Plan For Furnishing
Employment to Men Out Of Work.

DR.. John +. Nagls's Plan For Furnishing
Employment to Mon Out Of Work.
DR.. John T. Maggie, registrar of vital
statistics, has come out with a novel
suggestion for furnishing work to the
unemployed. He advocates the build
Ing of q great transcontinental boule-
ward to extend from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, in the building of which each
state through which the boulevard
passed should contribute its share for
the employment of labor.
81 have had the idea in mind for
some time" DR.. Maggie said, land I
feel SUR that gigantic as would be the
scheme it would pay in the end. Such
a boulevard, laid out with a macadam-
lied roadway and with ornamental trees
along its walks, would certainly en-
nance the value of property in its i'm
mediate vicinity. 1t would furnish a
driveway for the owners Of fast horses
all over the country, and the bicycle
riders would be there by the thousands.
There might be a million of these riders
on the road at n time. The boulevard
would be one of the greatest sights in
C~hristendom. There would be inns at
different points along its entire length.
Mansions would be built along Its route
too. The construction of such a road
way would give employment to hun
dreds of thousands of workmen and
keep them busy for two years at least.
Il do not believe that it is a mere
Utopian dream. Anybody who has
been in the City of Mexico and has seen
the superb boulevard leading for miles
out from that city, with its giant eu-
calyptus trees and other monuments, can
readily imagine what a magnificent
thing such a boulevard would be. En-
gineers will tell you that the idea is
practical, and that the cost would be
nothing compared to the benefit that
would accrue from its construction"
