There are more female than male
teachers employed in the State. This IS
especially the case in the counties
where there are well regulated graded
schools, like Charleston, GreenVllIs and
Rlchland.
It is interesting to kno" the salaries
paid to teachers throughout the State.
The amounts vary in esch county. Iae
average amount paidis about $50, male
teachers getting little more than fe-
males. Charleston County pays her
teachers two or thres tlmes as much as
any other county in the State. Taere
the male teachers ges an average OF
1928 a month aud the female teachers
S4190. Beaufort comes next. She
pays her male and female teachers the
same salaries, an average of S55 "
month each. York county pays unusu-
ally small salaries, according to the re-
port of the Commissioned OF that coun.
ty, and the curious part Is that the re.
male teachers get the largest salaries.
The average amount paid te males a
month in York county Is SlS. Male
teachers in Jnat couaCy get an average
of Sl4 50 4 month. Aoo3Vllle PAYS a5r

A resolution directing Chief of Police
Child to detail an officer for permanent
DUTY on Exchange Place crossing was
adopted by the Common Council yes
terday and was referred to the committee
on police by the Board of Aldermen.
The resolution provides that an officer
shall be appointed to patrol the crosswalk
between the Butler Exchange and the de-
pot, to keep the walk clear and to assist
ladies and children in case of a crush.
The resolution is, in the opinion of
Chief Child, good one and will be acted
upon Immediately. For long time there
has been felt the necessity Of an officer to
check the speed OF wagons and electric
cars at such hours as the cross-walk Is
crowded.
In all the large cities in the country
this plan OF protecting humanity from
rapid driving and careless teamers has
been in vogue for many years, and its
adoption will doubtless meet with the ap-
proval OF the citizens and visitors from
abroad.

against Pullman for his failue to agree to
arbitration Is reported in Chi

open to Los Angeles.
