sCHoOL TEACHERS DIsGPUyrLED.

THEY OBJECT To BEING PAID FIVE DAYS LATE
School teachers in Brooklyn are disgruntled over
the fact thar while the Manhattan teachers re-
ceived their salaries a week ago last Monday
those in Brooklyn did not get their salaries until
last Wednesday. Salaries should have been paid IN
both boroUEhs on the 18th OF the month They
were i've days late in Brooklyn and four days ahead
OF tine IN Manhattan
Some OF the teachers have been advocating
change or the date OF payment from the 18th
OF the month the 1sr AS all other city EN-
pIoyes. however. are paid the 18th. the pro
posed change would be class legislation, which
would be supported by the Teachers Associa-
ton. Other teache are urging that the assocfa-
IiOu should advocate a law under which city and
State employees would be paid az the rate OF per
cent interest on all money due them from the time
OF delay IN payment

OUR POPULATION N 800 A. D.

VIII the United States have a popula-
ton of 800. eoO, 900 by the end of the TWEEN
tieth century? Let US hope So The
nineteenth century has brought the ma
ton from a handful of scattered and
struggling people to the front rank
among the great countries of the world
If it is TO maintain that proud position
and take its place absolutely at the head
of the worlds great nations. it must in
crease in population and productivity,
and maintain its power of participation
in all the affairs of the busy world,
whose population by that time will be
more than three billions of people To
that end our waste places must be peo-
pied. our great natural resources devel-
oped, our power of self-support intensi-
fed and our facilities of interchange
among ourselves, and with the whole
world. multiplied. For this we need peo-
ple-people with sturdy muscles and act
i've minds, with earnest hearts and pur-
poses The people now distributed over
this splendid area of ours being of that
character, why should we not have even
before the end of the century the 800 Oo0.-
900 active, Intelligent, successful people
which the United States will require to
maintain its position at the head of the
worlds list of great nations?
With great railway system stretch
ing from Patagonia to Alaska, and con-
meeting across Boring Strait; with an
As!atic ra-.way system; with wireless
telegraphy enabling instantaneous COM
from city to city. and tele-
phones so developed that man may speak
from continent to continent: with the art
of ocean navigation much more highly
developed, and perhaps the navigation of
the air as completely mastered as that
of the ocean is today, the United States,
with its power to interchange its prod
ucts, will be in touch with those OF 9TH
er lands, and its power to sustain pop
ulation of 300, 900. 0o0-yes, even a billion
will be greater than that by which the
nations of Europe sustain
their present population.-O. p Austin in
