WOMEN AS TEACHERS.

The Proportion Largest I'm the United
States md Smallest In Germany.
There are in the United States, rough
ly speaking. 100000 school teachers,
and Of this number 100000 are men and
100000 are women. In other words,
there are nearly twice as many female
as male teachers, and the disparity is
increasing year by year. According
to the last official census of Prussia
there were $4,000 school teachers in the
kingdom, of whom 5000 were women
and $4,000 men. It is evident, therefore,
that the Prussian preference is for male
teachers. In oil Germany there are,
including the government, church and
private schools, $4,000 teachers, and
the number of pupils is nearly 10000
600. There are 100000 teachers in
France. of whom $4,000 are men and
$4,000 are women, the number of each
being subject to about the same ratio
Of increase. There are, it is supposed,
about 100000 teachers in Great Britain,
but authentic figures are lacking.

was maddening to a man of commun-
istic principles, and that Leedy's red
ink denunciation presents an exact
measure of his character as a political
charlatan, ending its criticism with the
assertion that the spectacle of the gov
ernor of a state thus engaging in coarse
vilif1cation of the country's highest
court is at once disgracefuI and in
structive. It is a reproach and an in
suit to the commonwealth whose favor
he enjoys and it stands as a warning
to other states against the humiliating
folly of seating low vulgarians in offices
which brave and high-ninded men
alone are fit TO occupy. If the people Of
Kansas, who are Leedy's superior in all
that constitutes self-respecting man
hood, can contemplate his scandalous
performance without giving outward
signs of anger and modification, it is
only because their capacity for blushing
is considerably less than the rest Of the
country has supposed.
