N RESPONSE to overwhelming
public sentiment, steps have been
Il taken toward a local memorial
of William Mckinley. An or
,anization has been formed and will
soon be perfected TO collect and have
charge of the administration of a fund
for this purpose. 1t has been thought
best to raise this fund by popular sub
scription. The experiment will be tried
of limiting all contributions to one
dollar, no more. no less. In this way
neither the burden nor the credit will

Teachers Salaries.

HN THE Southern Teacher of New
orleans, G. Il. Dyke of Hampton
a institute presents a summary of
a bulletin issued by Columbia
university which is of profound inter-
est. 1t requires no comment:
Society has its minimum require
ments, below which the individual dare
not go. That physician would not be
tolerated for moment whose home,
food, clothing. and manner were those
of the mechanic or the labOrer. The
teacher, preacher, philosopher, lawyer,
physician, have varying needs and de-
sires, but, as a class, their standard of
living is widely different from that of
the producers of material utilities. The
teachers standard of living comprises
not only the physical necessities of
life, but also books, travel church. the
ater. opera, art galleries. The Carpen-
ter is satisfied with fewer of these util-
tiles.
Although required to maintain a
much higher standard of living, the
average teacher of the United States
is paid less than the average worker
in the principal productive industries.
True. his salary has greatly increased
during the last forty years. Commits
sioner Harris estimates the increase at
| Sc 3-10 per cent. in cities, and a 40 per
cent. in country districts. This in
| crease of teachers salaries has merely
| followed a general rise in wages, and
is considerably less than i'm some of the
| mechanical trades. OF the twenty-five
| industries enumerated i'm the 'Aldrich
Report all but seven have risen more
than go per cent. in the remuneration

beer and porter receive 124 40 per cent.
more than in 1860. Since that date, also,
wages have risen in carriage-making
102 i-l0 per cent in groceries % 1-10
per cent; i'm sidewalk building, S71a per
cent; in dry goods, So clio per cent; in
paper, 81 $40 per cent; i'm lumber, -
$40 per cent
"A still more striking comparison is
made between the wages of the cotton
operatives and those of the male
teacher in sixteen states of the Union.
The cotton operative is selected be-
cause he is popularly supposed to be
especially destitute. Many novels owe
their pathos to descriptions of scenes
in his poverty home The male
teacher is selected for the purpose of
showing what his home would be,
should he marry and rear a family on
the basis of the salary quoted. sur
prising as are these results, they fail to
do justice TO the superior financial posi-
tion of the cotton operative, for the
reason that the salaries of women
teachers are not included in these data
In only five of these sixteen states
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connect
cut, New York and New Jersey, does
the teacher receive the better pay.

Some criticism Is heard that Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt should move about
without guards. 1t is natural but un-
philosophic. SO long as there is de-
termned purpose in the mind of any
man to kill the American chief cXcCu-
tive, guards can not prevent its eXecu-
ton. By showing courage in the face
of danger, the new president is much
more likely to avert unpleasant Consc-
quences than by advertising that he
is possessed of fear.

mass meeting at the Armory tomor-
row night held in connection with the
annual convention of the state League
OF Republican clubs, which has chosen
Scranton as its abiding place for Tues
day, Wednesday and part of Thurs
y day.
We ask this for a number of reasons.
The chief one is that United States
Senator John NJ Thurston, of Nebras-
ka, who has consented to deliver a
oulogy of President William McKin-
ley;ii entitled, on account of both his
excellence of his theme, to be heard
by as many as can come within sound
Of his voice. Scranton has heard with
ssympathetic interest and pleasure
,'some of her distinguished local orators
Supon this inspiring theme: this will
afford chance to hear one of the
finest and most effective orators in the
world; a man who presided over the
national convention at which William
. .McKinley was first nominated for
president; who throughout Mr. Nc
Kinley's term in the White House was
his staunch and jealous supporter;
and whose fame as an eloquent
speaker is not surpassed by that Of
any contemporary American.

1--WE find, again, in the state Of New
York, that of siXty-four productive
industries enumerated by the commits
sioner of labor, forty-four pay to their
workmcn more than the average
teacher Of the state receives, 1t needs
no argument to prove that the average
parent values his sons education more
highly than any material commodities.
But if We should gauge the public
valuation of education by the salaries
paid to teachers, We should decide that
the average parent of New York
places "A highe" value upon the toys
with which the Child plays, the piano
which adds to his accomplishments,
the watch which decorates him, and
the liquors which sometime he may
drink, than upon the school-room
teaching which affects his life, for
good or for evil, most profoundly.

When close to his last hour, the
great French philosopher. Renan,
wrote that he should like to survive
the middle of the century so that he
might know the ultimate fate OF the
then young and "impetuous" emperor
of Germany. r. u. O'Connor thinks
that if the great philosopher had sur
vived to this hour. he probably would
have found a subject of equal curiosity
and uncertainty i'm the accession to the
presidency of Theodore Roosevelt.
Well, if Roosevelt does as well as
Kaiser William there will be no special
ground for complaint.

Stetson and all capitalists who are pour

The Philosophy of the Enlightened.
From the Smart Set

When we get what we want we are
always disappointed to find that 1t is not
what We wanted.
What sounds so sweet as the human
voice-to the one who is doing the talk

The knowledge that virtue is its own
reward is what deters many from we'll
doing.
The trouble with most reformers is that
they waste their time and energy trying
to reform somebody else
When a man or a woman asks for a
candid opinion 1t may safely be taken
for granted that "candied' is meant.
