New York, June 18.-Public
schools close in a few days, and
the summer vacation for teachers
and pupils begin. Yes, these
teachers won't have anything to
do now but to idle away their time
for two months and a part" says
a representative of that class of
people who would lengthen the
hours of labor and decrease the
pay of all school teachers. These
teachers ought to work, as other
people do, all the year through.
Think of it! only five hours work
a day during five days in the week,
and, besides this summer vacation,
they have two or three short vaca-
tions during the school year. But
to hear them talk, ",adds the critic,
one would think they were the
hardest worked people in the com
munity. AS for myself, l think
they do too little work for the pay
they get" F"
Cannot agree with you Mr..
Critic. Think you are wrong in
the position you take. Personally,
l wouldn't shorten the vacation
period of teachers one hour.
Grant you that some teachers get
too much pay, and ought to have
a vacation from school work for
ffty-two weeks in the year, as the
place for them is not in the school
room.
But our talk today is about the
conscientious and hard working
teachers, and such person cannot
work during nine months of the
year and be physically able to
stand the same strain during the
summer months without injury to
herself. Many teachers through
ont the country are now straining
every nerve in order to get through
the last few days of this term, for
at the close of the school year they
are well-nigh exhausted in mind
and body.
AS soon as the warm weather
begins the pupils are much harder
to manage. They become restless,
and are unable to apply them
selves so closely to study, and
when the last day Of school arrives
both teacher and pupil drop their
work for a well-earned rest.
The pupil has done enough study
ing for the present, and needs a
change, and the teacher Is unfit to
labor on through the summer if
she has done her work conscienti-
ously during the school year.
THEY NEVER TAUGHT SCHOOL
THEMSELVES.
The people who find the most
fault with teachers, and think that
they have too much vacation and
too high pay. are the people who
have the least to do with them.
These critics do not know what
they are talking about, as some of
their statements plainly show. AS
to the five-hour day of the teacher,
follow one and see for yourself.
After breakfast she prepares for the
work of the day. often going to
school long before the opening
hour. After school she must stay
to help some backward pupil. or to
correct papers, and consequently
in the evening she must study in
order to keep abreast of the intel :
lectual requirements of her posi-
ton. On some days her hours of
labor outnumber those of a me-
chanic.
Concerning the salary a teacher
receives, divide it by % and see if
it is too much a week Take into

ASSOCIATION ON THE VERGE

Withdrawal of st. Paul Apparently Dio-
organizes Ee"rganizeh Western Pool.
CHICAGO, Sept. 21.--Thc Western
Passenger ASSOCIATION, which was reor-
ganiZed only Il few weeks ago, is again
on the verge Of dissolution. The with
drawal Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul road a short time ago has ap-
parently proved dcathblow to the as
Sociation.
When the members of the association
met Yesterday it was decided i'll view of
the chaotic condition of affairs brought
about by the withdrawal of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St Paul road, it
was useless to proceed with the busi-
ness before the association until the dis
agreement over rates existing between
the various st. Paul lines had been set
tied. \ meeting of those roads was ac-
cordingly held yesterday and an attempt
was made to reach an agreement. The
result Of the meeting will be laid before
the Western Passenger association to-
day. 1t was the general opinion,
however. that settlement of the diff
cultics was impossible while the Mil
waukec and St Paul company is on the
outside, as it would be impossible for
the association to enforce adherence of
other roads to existing tariffs.
