WOMEN AS TEACHERS.

The Proportion Largest in the United
States and Smallest in Germany.
There are in the United States, rough
ly speaking, 100000 school teachers,
and of this number 10000 are men and
100000 are women. In other words,
there are nearly twice as ma ny female
as male teachers, and the disparity is
increasing year by year. According
to the last official census of Prussia
there were 5000 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 all Germany there are,
including the government, church and
private schools, $4,000 teachers, and
the number of pupils is nearly 10000
900. 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.

American astronomers are requested
TO keep their eyes open for stray
moon, which DR.. Waltemath, of Ham
burg, is anxious to find again. His OBJ
ject, says the New York Sun, is to ac-
count for and control certain irregular
tiles in coming to time on the part of
the old moon that we are accustomed to
see. He knows exactly what sort of
moon he wants and where it ought to
be. Its apparent diameter is 140 Sec
onds, but it's real diameter is 420 miles,
it's surface about one-twenty-fifth and
its bulk one-eightieth that of the visi-
BILE moon, and it is 615,600 miles distant
from the earth, and two and two-thirds
times as far as our moon.
This little moon has been seen num-
ber of times in the last 300 years. Dur
ing the seventeenth century it ap-
peared as fiery red ball with white
streak across it. Later observers de-
scribe it as of the dark gray color of the
spots on the moon, and as round.
black body, so that it had probably
cooled off in the interval. Cassini. the
father. saw it at Montpelier November
Z, 1900, and seven other appearances are
noted in that century. DR.. Ritter, a
Hanover school-teacher, saw it with the
naked eye in broad daylight in the
neighborhood of Naples June II, 1855.
1t crossed the sun from right to left.
Mr.. Convey saw it at North Lewisburg,
O.. September 4, 1879. None of the OBJ
servers had any idea of its true nature,
however, till DR.. Waltemath made his
discovery.
February of t1is year the little
moon passed over the sun. and it will
do it again July 30. Its mean synodic
course is III days, and its daily mo-
tion a little over three degrees. Any
one noticing its wanderings will please
inform DR.. George Waltemath at Ham

HOSTILITY TO EDUCATION.
The English Are Opposed to the
Teaching of Servants.

reaching OF servants.
An American visitor to England who
spends some little time in the country,
says j. n. Larnew. in the Atlantic, can
hardly fail to become conscious of three
serious facts: (D That there is a
strong gclass-feelinga against much educa-
ton for those who are looked on as un-
derlings and servants--a feeling more
prevalent and more pronounced than the
shamefaced sentiment of like mean
ness that is whispered in some snobbish
American circles. (2) That the school
rate" seems to be the most begrudged
of English taxes, the most sharply criti-
cised, the most grumbled at; and this
to degree for which there seems moth
ing comparable in America. (3) That
the opposition to secular schools, fos-
tered by the church and ostensiDly
actuated by desire for religious in
struction in the schools, is largely sup
ported in leality by the two sentiments
indicated above. n Looking, there
fore, to the increasingly democratic
conditions that are inevitable in Eng
land, the reluctance and factiousness of
disposition that appear among its citi-
zens touching the vital matter of popu-
lar education are ominous of evil to the
nation, and gravely lessen its chances
of holding. under the reign of democ-
racy, the high place to which it rose
under the aristocratic regime.
