DEMAND FOR EXPERTS.
In Some Lines of Work Skilled Per-
sons Are Not to BE Had.
Boston Transcript.

A thoughtful writer has reviewed in a
current educational journal the newer call
ings into which men and women of culture
and character have been pushing Of late
When all the well-knOwn professions and
avenues of work are so crowded that the
competition for positions has become tre-
mendous 1T is a relief to know that an ex-
pansion is constantly taking place, opening
new forms of service to the skilled and
competent. There exist certain fields, the
writer declares, in which at the present
time Ii is impossible to obtain enough
trained persons for the positions offered
Foremost of these Is the teaching of spe-
cial branches in the higher educational in
stitutions, demand which is constantly
increasing and broadening. The new agri-
culture, forestry, the experiment stations
and laboratories have created a demand for
considerable number of specially trained
teachers as agriculturists, horticulturists,
pomologists, entomologists, dairy experts
biologists, plant pathologists, bacteriolo-
giSts, etc. In every large city there is some
demand, IL Is stated, for expert chemists
biologists, prospectors, microscopists, ETC.
The work along these lines is now mainly
done by college professors, but few per-
sons have already opened private offices
with success. Chemists are needed in hun
dreds of manufacturing establishments An
inviting field for expert mathematicians is
found In the coast and geological surveys
of the national government and in the of
fees of the great life insurance companies
where they serve as actuaries. 1t is pointed
out that the United States Weather Bu-
Etdu dlSO empIONS al considerable number
of trained men. The demand for competent
lecturers in university extension in teach
ers institutes and farmers institutes for
popular instruction in science, literature
history and economy has never yet been
filled. The position of health officer in city
| and State is a recognized post of respon-
sibility, requiring great knowledge and
power on the part Of the incumbent. AS Ii
brarians, statesmen, journalists. diplomats
in railroad work, in commerce, in religious
and reform work, Ii is well known that the
rod
their prerogatives in posts of great useful
ness and power. The summary is signifi-
can't and seems to show conclusively that
the expansion of professional occupation
for the educated is keeping pace in a cheer
full measure with the increasing output of
trained men and women.

FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL.

The London Westminster Gazette says
an order for $4,000 tons of steel rails has
Just been placed in Lanarkshire and that
it is presumed to be for America.
Business was inactive on the Berlin
bourse Saturday and prices were generally
firmer on New York advices and encourag-
ing reports regarding the iron market.
Mines were in strong demand. Canadian
Pacific was considerably harder. Interna-
tionals were firm, especially Spanish fours,
on news from Paris Banks improved.
Prices on the Paris bourse yesterday
opened with a better tone. Russian indus
trials and Thompson-Houston being excep-
tions. Internationals were firm. Rentes,
Turks and Brazilians made good recov-
cry. Spanish fours were in active demand
and advanced substantially. Rio Tintos
started weaker, but recovered. and at the
close prices were generally firm. The pri-
vate rate Of discount was 2 lie per cent.
The Moorehead Brothers Company, Of
Pittsburg, last week received the first 800
tons of muck iron Of a 5,00O-ton order that
was placed with German firm two months
ago. Sixteen hundred more Is now on
the way, and the rest, 1t is said, will be
furnished within few weeks The COM
pany officials say the German product is
quite equal to that made in this country,
and that II costs no more, after paying
duty, freight rates, ETC., than the home
muck iron. This latter fact is due to the
cheap labor employed in Germany. The
Moorehead Company was compelled to go
to Germany for muck iron, owing to the
scarcity of that material in this country.

Male Teachers for Children.
Chicago Chronicle.


Prof Earl Barnes. one of the foremost
authorities on matters relating to child
study, in his lecture before the Cook county
school teachers. advocated more men as
teachers in the primary schools
1t has been thought that women were
pre-eminently fitted by nature to care for
children up 10 the age of twelve years At
normal schools the number of women stu
the number Of men is sixteen to one
One reason for this disproportion has
been that men with or without experience
and without normal training were allowed
TO become principals of elementary schools.
although women were the real instructors
In recent years men have been required TO
teach in the grades before taking the higher
positions.
Ii is too early TO decide from actual ex-
perience the comparative merits OF men and
women as teachers of small children. but
Professor Barnes has given years OF at
tention TO the best methods of instructing
young minds. and his testimony deserves
10 carry great weight.
IL IL shall be proved that men and women
equally well fitted for teaching in the
grades, il may also be found that they are
equally well fitted as instructors in the
higher departments
The number OF women instructors i'm coil
leges and universities has been small. but
IL is constantly increasing Before long
there should be sufficient data to indicate
the value Of women In the higher institu-
tions Of learning.
II may be found that Segregation Is
no more desirable in the university than n
u in the DrtmarX school

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
ONE OF THE BEST WEEKS EVER
KNOWN IN LOCAL MARKETS.
Prices Steady and Firm, and Profits
Good-CereaIs Are Showing
Somewhat Stronger Tone.

With the increased trade, due to the
Indiana State fair, and the regular busi-
ness, seldom do the merchants of this city
enjoy a better weeks business than in the
one ended Sept. 20. all lines of trade shar-
ing in the good results, and with this
prices have ruled strong in all lines, and in
lines such as dry goods. where profits are
close, the volume of trade was so large
as to yield good net revenue. The boot
and shoe business had big week, as did
the confectioners. The wholesale grocers
did good business. but not so marked in
increase as the other lines, as the retail
merchants keep in close touch with trade
in their line, buying to only meet imme-
diate requirements. On Commission row
the trade Of the week was the largest OF
any week for some months, and prices
of fruits and vegetables improved, but are
still very low. Seldom have so many ar
ticles in this line of trade sold as low
as for a month past. Some very fine
apples and peaches are on the market
the best ever offered. say the commission
men. The produce market continues at q
high range, so far as prices are concerned.
and there are no indications of an early
decline. Hog products as well are selling
at high figures for this market, and Ii is
said further advances are probable. All
lines OF trade are active and prices have
been practically unchanged for some days.
