A great number of sub directors
in the country schools are expert
encing difficulty in securing teach
ers this spring, but the reason is
evident, teachers like other people
in other situations in life like to re-
ceive fair equivalent in money for
the time and money spent in fitting
themselves for the work and when
they hear of one township pa aging
forty dollars per month and border
ing on it paying thirty and thirty
five dollars they naturally think
that the teacher should receive as
much pay in the one case as in the
other when as oft is the case, the
difeat P sa6o5f Is g5vs h7 Give Gle
teachers good wages and you will
secure competent instructors other
wise you will have to take whatever
offers-and you will often be left with
an incompetent teacher, whose only
object is to secure money to adj
vance in some other occupation en-
tirely foreign to that of teacher.

as he stepped on the threshold,
down came big bunch of hay from

startled the gentleman for mo
ment when he thought there was
"nigger in the wood-pile," or rather
the hay-1n and he thought he
would wait and sea him, which he
did, when presently there emerged
from the opening in the loft, first
the lower limbs then the body,
shoulders and head of an individ-
ual, who as soon as aware he was
seen promptly spoke up and said
he had just used the last of his hay
and just thought he wonld borrow
some until tomorrow when he was
turn it. We don't know whether
the hay was taken away and a like
amount returned or not as the gent
leman is very recitent about the

Otis Tells of The Philippines.

Washington, March Is. S.-Major
General Otis appeared before the
Senate committee on the Philip-
pines today. When he left the
Philippines in May, 1900, Gener-
al Otls said that the army had
dispersed all of Aguinaldo's armv,
quiet prevailed during the months
of May and June and hardly n
shot was fired. 1t was safe to 90
to all parts of Luzon and other
islands, and Il very large trade had
been established. General Otis.
answering question by Senator
Culberson, said he never trusted
native officers because they were
too cruel to their men. He said
he could trust their loyalty, but
they treated their captives with
too much cruelty. s'They were
us bad as the insurgents, said he.
When he left the Philippines, he
said, 1.-THE war as war had ceased
Answering a qustion by Senator
Hale, General Otis said he saw no
difficulty in withdrawing II mater
lnl number of troops from the Is
land. The island forces he de-
clared to be very necessary and
he said there was no peace in Ma
mia until the native pellce was
organized. The troops, he said
had treated the Filipines with the
greatest kindness. Every state
ment of hardship and harse treat
ment he heard had been sxagger-
ated. He said: owe were laughed
at by the Spanish and European
army officers for the humanity we
exercised. >
AS to the capacity of the Flip
mos for self government he said
that an officer of Aguina!do's for
mer force had told him it would
take 100 years to accomplish this.
General Otis considefed that the
filipinos were capable of self
government. The Filipnos, he
said, understand that they must
have protection because without
it other nations would divide ny
the islands, but they were desirous
of making the best possible terms
they could with the United States.
Their idea was to have control of
the international affairs of the is
land but protection outside.
