gathered. The amount of it appals one,
and I am fain to believe that the nearer
our schools keep to the rudiments and
the elements, to careful training and
right habits, both of discipline and
study, the better they are.
You endorse technical education and
agriculture, others endorse various
things. Who is to be the Judge? Must
the school people teach everything that
is demanded?
It is true there is poor and Indifferent
work as we'll as excellent work done in
the school rooms of Nebraska, but this
is true in every state Of the Union, in
every country of the world, and it al
ways has been true. There is always
good, bad and Indifferent work in every
other walk and avocation of life, in
every trade and other profession, and
with less excuse for it; for in many of
the trades and the other professions
there is more regular, systematic and
professional training for the work than
we find for teaching. In the 5000
school rooms in Nebraska this month we
will find nearly 1850 teachers who have
had no experience whatever, and not
more than $50 of this number have had
any special training for the work. A
few other statistics gathered from the
last reports made to the state depart
ment of public instruction may be in
teresting and valuable in discussion, but
it is my purpose to present the statistics
only and leave the discussion to others.
will give the figures in round numbers
with one, two or three ciphers that
comparison may be more easily made in
simple ratios.
Nebraska employs annually over 5000
teachers, including only 1900 male
teachers. They are employed for an
average of ~ weeks in the year at an
average salary of less than $38 for each
four weeks. Think of it! The average
yearly salary of teachers in this state is
1856, and only this morning a teacher
informed me that her room rent and
board cost her $312 per annum. It is
true she receives salary much above
the average, but it is also true that
many receive salary far. below the
average. Less than 1000 Of our teach
ers hold first grade county certificates,
about $500 hold second grade certificates
and 900 hold third grade certificates.
The others hold professional life cer-
tifcates or university or normal school
diplomas. The 80 county super
intendents in the state receive annually
total compensation of $4,000. The
average life of Nebraska school teacher
as teacher, is three years. Each year
we find in our school rooms about $500
who have had no experience whatever,

JONES
Will Consent to Unionizing His
Paper.

Columbus, o., Sept. 28.-It is prob
able that the long strike Of the news
writers of the Press Post is Mt an end,
and that the men will win complete
victory. Last night Ellis o. Jones,
the owner and manager of the paper,
asked that committee from the News
Writer'S union Call on him that he
might submit II proposition This
proposition, when stated, was to the
eeffct that he unlonlze his reportorial
force upon the same lines as exist in
another local afternoon paper. The
proposition was taken into considera-
tion Tor twenty-four hours, and will
probably be accepted II certain details
can be arranged satisfactorily to both
sides. Jones has succeeded in COM
promising matters with the Typo
graphical union so that the printers
are now at work, His refusal to treat
with the union news writer's left him
In practically the same position, how
ever, as the allied trades and labor
assembly declared the paper to be still

Akron Modern Woodmen marched
and countermarched at Kent Wednes-
day night with chests expanded and
naughty mien while the pretty girls
of that village looked on and helped
to applaud with the members Of the
Kent camp Of the WoOdmen. The
Akron men, numbering 80, who are

exhibition drill.
The guests were feasted and toasted

To Frank Rockefeller by the
Siegel.Saunders Shortage.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 26.-The
Times says today: The expert ac-
countants who have been at work
on the books Of the defunct Siegel
Saunders Commission Co., for several
months, practically completed their Ia
bors yesterday, and for the first time
since the concern went to the wall
Frank Rockefeller learned the full ex-
tent of his financial losses.
The startling revelation was made
by the expert accountants that Mr..
Rockefeller will suffer loss Of nearly
$500,OO0 as a result Of alleged manip-
ulation of the books by Frank Siegel,
the company's former president, who
is now resting under two indictments.
One of the most interesting features
Of the case was made known yester-
day, when Mr.. Rockefeller announced
that he would not prosecute Siegel
who is now out under bond awaiting
trial, but would leave the entire mat
ter in the hands of Utley Wedge, re-
ceiver of the company.

Of Truth Of Shaffer's
Charges.
Presidents Gompers and Mitchell
Want VindicatiOn.

New York, Sept. 26-In an open
letter issued today at the Ashland
house, Samuel Gompers of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor and Cigar
makers International union and John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America and Federation of Labor,
challenged Theodore J. Shaffer, presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, to
prove his statements recently made
against them. The letter follows:
New York City, Sept 26, 1901.
Mr. Theodore j. Shaffer, President
Amalgamated Association Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers, Pittsburg, Pa
Dear Sir: There was sent out by the
Associated Press and published in the
New York papers statement purport-
ing to emanate from you, in which
grave charges and insinuations are
made by you against the undersigned.
Inasmuch as the accounts published
differ in phraseology only, but in all
essentials agree, there is no doubt in
our minds that the matter contained
in your publications emanates from
you. For your information, you will
find herein inclosed the clippings re-
ferred to from the New York papers
of Tuesday, Sept "a.
I'VE have already said that there Is
no doubt In our minds that the state
ments referred to We're made by you,
and assuming this to be so, we be-
lieve that you should be afforded the
amplest opportunity of demonstrating
the truth of your charges and insinu-
ations; 80 that II they are founded on
fact, the world, and particularly the
world Of organized labor, may know
it. We believe that you should be
afforded the fullest latitude in justi-
flying your course and your charges
and at the same time pillory us If we
deserve 1t. On the other hand, you
will realize the impossibility Of our
allowing your charges and insinua-
tions to 90 broadcast and stand unan-
swered and unchallenged."
The letter then names long list Of
Union presidents from whom an in
vestigating commission may be
chosen.

If any stranger in the city happened to wander

their intentions and scattered the enthusiasts and

stopped and talked about the all absorbing topic
generally remarking that the price of real estate
in Harlem sure to go up now, that wonders
would never cease.
And all this about simply because the New

game at the Polo Grounds in the afternoon. The
victory was the sixth straight game the team has
won which is close a record for New-York in
recent years. As Cincinnati went down in Gowanus
