COLLEG EDUCATION.
Interesting Observations of SuperIntend-
ent Jones'.


ent Jones.
superintendent of Public Instruction
Frank l.. Jones has attracted q good
deal of comment by speech which he
made before an educated and cultured
audience at Indianapolis q few nights
ago in which he took a stand that was
not favorable to higher education as
applied to business walks of life. His
idea was that q child should not be sent
to college unless he has an earnest and
strongly manifest desire TO 90. He
said:
"a higher education is beneficial in
law, medicine and the ministry because
in those professions the fundamentals
of higher education are involved, but |
am inclined to believe that the young
man that intends to enter q business
pursuit will find it to his profit to spend
the years that would be required in
obtaining a collegiate education in be-
coming acquainted with the methods
of the business that he intends TO
adopt Such persons, | believe, would
do best to step right out of the common
schools into their business svocstion.'

who find offense in the newspaper be-

A Most Remarkable Pickle Confront. In

Most Remarkable Pickle Confront. In
diana.
The common schools of Indiana have
been costing from S6,COO,OOO to SS,OOO..
OOO q year, and the new law fixing 4
minimum wage scale for teachers will
Increase the expenses about S9,OOOOO0.
SO says ID. NJ. Geeting. editor OF the
Educator-Journsl and ex superintend
ent OF schools, who heartily approves
the law.
1t Is thought the recent legislature
little knew the large effect of this law.
In some counties il will increase the
wages of teachers from 50 TO 100 per
cent. Some of the teachers in DeKalb
and Steuben counties received but SI.l6
day last winter. The law will in.
crease their wages almost 100 per cent.
4 teacher cannot be paid less than the
result of the average per cent. made in
examination for license multiplied by
two and one half cents. Ii requires q
grade OF 80 per cent. to get q licenee
of any kind. This insures SI.87I.
day but most teachers make a grade OF
from - to ~ per cent. a grade of 80
per cent. means wages f 50 % 9 day.
To show the lack OF foresight in leg
lslators it is pointed out that the in.
crease in wages was ordered without
taking into account the leVies that pay
wages. The increased wages will have
TO be paid for the first half of next
school year on levles made before the
township advisory snc school board
dreamed of what the Legislature was
going to do.
Teachers in many townships will
probably have to accept due bills in
part payment for their wages until
next January. The boards will meet
this summer to make levies, but the
levies will not result in available cash
before next January. IL is a problem
what the boards will do, and whether
they will make levy high enough to
wipe out the shortage caused by the
passage of the teachers minimum sal
ary law.
1t is estimated that teachers on the
average can be paid - per cent. of their
wages until next January on the pres
ent levy, the rest being paid in due
bills. This mesns that 81 100000 IN
due bills will probably be issued by
school officers before the first of next
year OF course school corporations
that have been paying teachers ss good
or better wages than the minimum set
by the Legislature need not worry over
the situation, but citizens OF townships
that have been paying only Sl2j day
will have to get ready to reach down
into their pockets deeper when tax
paying time comes.
Thus far school people feel that
township advisory boards have been
for cutting expenses snd too often
teachers stood the brunt Now the
boards will have TO face serious prob
lem: One state law says the terms
shall not be less than six months and
another says teacher shall not be paid
less than q certain sum. Editor Geet-
ing estimates that the new law will in
crease the common school leyies sn
average of at least % per cent. In
cases where longer than six months
terms have been maintained the term
could be cut to meet the problem.
One result of the teachers salary law
NAV be TO hasten the consolidation of
small schools. Mr.. Geeting says the
law will improve the standard OF
teachers.
