Why Teachers Are Scarce.

There are some valuable deductions to be drawn
from the fact that there is scarcity Of school teachers
in this and adjoining counties This condition exists
all over the state.
Not so very many years ago, when the state and
practically all the counties under democratic
troll there were 50 few opportunities for work with
anything like reasonable remuneration, that the
ton of teaching quite attractive the young
and women Of West Virginia. They counted them
selves fortunate in having job for four five months
in the year at a salary Of from $50 to $50 month.
Then there two hundred teachers more at the
teachers institutes and examinations all anxious to
get certificates 10 one Of these $50 and $50
a month Jobs. Noschool then went without teacher
to the contrary the had plenty Of applications
to select from.
The past few years, and it is growing more 50
every year the county superintendent counts himself
and the county fortunate in having an enrolment Of
one hundred at the institute Today the trustees Of
the school in many places must 90 quest Of teachers
and in many instances they fail find them because
there are none.
There are just as many bright and capable young
men and women but they are not in the school
teaching business. The policies Of the republican
party under which the state has developed marvel
ousy have created other and better opportunities for
them, opportunities for steady employment at good
salaries THAT is what accounts for the scarcity of
school teachers.
Again, in this connection it is pertinent to give a
little review Of the experiences the teachers in this and
other counties had when the counties under
democratic control 1t is notorious fact that they
had great difficulty in getting their paltry salary after
they had earned it They had wait for months and
months on democratic sherifs 70 pay them and often
times they were forced to divide their monthly pay
with the democratic office holder and his agents in
order to get the needful their board bill If
the shaving process did not suit them, they had to
make trip after trip to town in attempts to get their

Curious, but True.

At the ruling price of silver the amount
of that metal in standard" dollar Is
worth 36 cents.
OF dollar, therefore, 64 cents worth
is fiat, sort of Imperialism which
Grover Cleveland sought to avoid.
Hence. a weekly paper self-priced at a
dollar, without knowing any better, is
really worth only 36 cents.
In other words, if an Englishman sub
scribing for the Cumberland ro"r'er
could find an American silver dollar for
sale in London, he could buy it for 36
cents and the Co"ticr would take 1t for
years subscription to its weekly, it 1t
is publishing a weekly.
The situation furnishes paradox Ill

Thus the class pretense that it is 1.-The

ht ToIoSt-u law.
FRosTBURG, Mp, Nov 26, 1902.
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
This subject is much discussed i'll town
and well it may he, for the bell needs to
ring-Say i'll the summer at . p. m, ill
the winter 8 p. IN, for all children under
IA years to Ego home to spend the night
and not a great part of it on the streets.
A curfew law can do no harm, but
much good. 1t keeps no children from
going out when with proper per-
sons, thus placing all, whether abroad or
at home, under lawful guardianship.
Knowing that law of this character
is i'll force i'll Roanoke, Va, l wrote re-
Gently to the editor of the Evening .Ne"s
of that ty inqulring concerning eX-
perience and results. He replied edi-
torially through his paper, and after OBJ
serving that IF curfew resulted i'll the
salvation of one boy it is worth WHILE"
continved:
The curfew law was passed in Roanoke
over the objection of large number of peo-
pie who deemed il old fOgyiSh and entirely
nonsensical, But it has served its purpose
and when enforced as ii should be and as it
was intended that il should be enforced, it
keeps small boys away from the down
town streets at night and therefore removes
them from tne temptations tnev would ne
likely to encounter. AS consequence the
number of such youngsters smoking on the
corners and frcqucntlnS places where they
had no business, grew beautifully less until
to-day the evil seems to have been broken
up The bell rings in the summer at 9p.
III. thus giving young people the benefit OF
the long evenings, and i'll the winter at p.
III. And the ringing of the bell is usually
needed. OF course the curtew is established
for special purpose. 1t is meant to pre-
vent the contamination of youth and equally
of course 1t is not designed that it should be
rigidly observed in outlying sections where
no particular harm can follow when chill
dren are allowed to go on the streets. We
believe that Roanoke did well when it es-
tablished the curfew and we also believe
that our people would regret very much to
see 1t done away with. Other cities have
had the same experience and our sincere ad-
vice to any place that can do so is that it
should establish such Il law.
Now let us look forward to the time
when we shall gladly hear the ringing
of the curfew bell, meanwhile ~orking to
that end, and we shall be "blessed in
our deeds" j. G. JETER.
