INDIA AND THE GOLD STANDARD.

P,,1lo

Indian prosperity must be as incom-
prehensible to the silverites as the pros
perfty of the United States. 1t is really
much more remarkable, for while we have
had five good crops India has had two or
three famines = India refused to go into
bankruptcy as the result of the closing of
the minis in 1898. but the silverites were
not thereby deferred from predicting dis
aster upon the definite announcement of
the adoption of the gold standard threa
Years ago. Large portions OF the country
have. suffered from famine most of the
time since, but the Indian budget shows
a degree of revenue only; in the single item
Of opium. In fact, the revenues have
been so large that the government pro-,
poses to make special grant of $500, 900
in aid of sufferers from drought and
famine, and 1t will then have a surplus Of
sS500.O00. On the purely currency side
the adoption of the standard has worked
as we'll as its warmest advocates expect

large sum of gold in exchange for rupees.

No Teachers and No Schools

,.Ihey can't get enough good teachers in
Iowa 70 keep all their schools running
There are people who would like to draw
the salary, but they do not know how to
teach, and to permit them to have charge
Of the children during school hours would
in many instances, be worse for the chill
rem than to have no schools at all. And
SO: a good many of the schoolhouses have
been closed. .:*
SsS There arc probably two reasons for
this: One is the fact cited the. other day
to explain a scarcity Of female teachers
in some parts of this state-that a good
many young women who had been teach
ing were getting married. This is sup
posed to be an evidence of prosperity
that the young men have more money and
can afford wives more generally than they
could six or seven years ago. There is
no. doubt that hard times was a great
discourager of matrimony.
But without doubt the principal rea-
son for the scarcity of good teachers in
Iowa is that the school authorities are
not willing to pay enough to get Them,
Ability and skill can be had for it's price
in any honorable occupation, but the pub
lie, as rule, has not treated it's employees
during this era Of high prices as we'll as
the employees Of private concerns have
been treated. It is true that during the
hard times public employees were not gen.
erany cut In their wages as much as
workers in private business, but that
doesn't cut any figure now in getting, new
people to enter the, public service OF IL
retaining old employees when better oppor-
tunities offer elsewhere. '~-.
Z Teachers are underpaid as. rule. When
coaclsaan or a cook in a family gets
more wages than the one selected to train
the. children and educate etl1eSn, it is mo
wonder that schools must be, closed for.
lack of competent teachers. There are
only about 1870 teachers in: the public
schools of Minneapolis out Of $40 who are
paid over $500. year, and probably as
many who are not paid over $780,, Such.
facts as these almost make one look with
patience on the action of the Chicago
teachers in joining the Federation of La
Dor in order to secure fairer considera-
ton in the matter of wages, although in
Chicago, as it happens, teachers are much
better paid than in many other parts of
the, country. including Minneap polls: .
