CAR FARES IN

The Method of C~Ollectio and In.
spection Prevents Free Rides
The chances of evading fares on the
street cars of German cities are very
Slight. When a passenger steps on a
car, the conductor Immediately asks
where he is going and then prepares
his ticket, which serves also as a re-
ceipt for the fare. The preparation of
a ticket consists only in detaching it
from a block and punching it or mark
ing it with a pencil.
This process involves much more
work than the simple process Of ring
ing up the fares, as conductors do in
Americc, but the task is lightened by
the fact that only a certain number of
persons are permitted to ride on q car
at the same time. The number of sit
ting and standing places is plainly
marked on each car. If a car is de-
signed to carry 80 persons, no more
than 30 persons will be permitted on
that car at the same time. When any
thing in Germany is forbidden, it is
settled once for all.
In order that every person who rides
shall get the prescribed ticket inspect
ors are employed who spend their time
in ascertaining whether the conductors
are doing their duty. These inspectors
step into the cars and ask the passen-
gers for their tickets. They note the
number of the tickets and whether they
correspond with the stubs. retained by
the conductor. The clerk who gives
out the blocks of tickets to the con-
ductors notes the number of the upper
most ticket and at the return of each
block collects from the conductor who
returned it as many fares as there are
tickets detached.
The rate of fares varies from ~
cents to 5, according to the distance.
Small children are carried for one-half
fare, and any n for the sum Of $3.50.
may secure a ticket which entities him
to ride as much as he wishes for one
month. When a car is full, the con-
ductor displays a placard bearing the
word "Occupied."-Chicago Record.

PROGR SSIVE EDUCATORS.
Confipced from first Pare

There are enough positive clemens at
work on the teachers Of Delaware to
make them very efficient corps Of
teachers, and You Wall nave this able,
interested class Of teachers if y1u will
only remove this most difficult OBJ
struciion Of low salaries.
The teachers Of Kent county have
the opportunities of becoming a very
able set Of teachers. Superintendent
Tindal has done and is doing more than
most superintendents do TO advance the
teaching element under his supervision,
but one Of the greatest drawbacks to
ne advancement Of the quality Of this
or any other corps Of teachers in this
matter OF low salaries.
Delaware, as a State. does not affsr7
any kind Of training for its teachers,
and pays It's teachers not the highest
salaries by any means. hence the con-
dtion Of onr public schools Yet,
thanks to the unsiring efforts of the
Superintendent, the quality of both
schools and teachers has wonderfully
improved in this county in the last
ten years. A low salary Is a negative
factor in the way Of progressive teach
ers. 1t is even a drawback 10 the adj
vancement OF the public school system
Modern educational methods, working
in and through the teacher. are baked
in their effects upon the whole system
While training schools and normal
schools lead 70 a higher plane oi
teaching and better schools, The ten
dency Of Pow salaries Is TO retard the
effects Of this progress and hold back
the advancement Of our public schools
The recent changes in the constitu-
ion have lowered the dividends, o.
placed an obstruction in the way o.
higher dividends.
Taking into consideration what has
herein been said, and the facts as here
in presented, (and the writer by hi.
association among many Of the teach
ers, knows them 10 be facts) we neet
higher dividends.
Will not the people Of the State, es
pecially those who have the power t
do so, see to it that the most cherished
and important institution of the Ameri
can citizen-the public school--i
amply provided for?
Let the other expenditures Of on
! State be diminished. but let not de
creased public school fund stand in th
way of a higher system Of publ
schools. HI X.
