Underpaid Teachers.

II n THE Worlds Work for Feb

- some plain Words ON Teachers
Wages" that should be read by
every parent. The article begins by
quoting some highly eulogistic remarks
of Il wealthy giver TO educationa pur-
poses who after telling how valuable
is the teachers work gave Il dinner for
the designer of his yacht and sent the
teacher of his children, Il private tutor
to eat with the servants. This same
man, the article says, is trustee of a
great school and has the deciding voice
in fixing teachers wages. on his pay-
roll are teachers at $3.50 a year, in a
city where hall bedrooms and board Mt
81 a week is not considered high,
though it "ls luxurious for Il woman
who would thus have a balance of $95
for years expenditure for clothing,
books, carfare, amusements and eyety-
thing else" Alas, how many Of these
friends of education" there are.
Coming TO figures, Mr.. McAndrew
shows that from the average monthly
salaries OF men and women teachers
given in the last report of the United
States commissioner of education, and
from the average length of the school
year, the average yearly salary of male
teachers is estimated to be about
SS2SSO and of women teachers $274.6O.
Neither amount would support, in the
style of the times among men and
women of scholarship and the culture
necessary in a successful teacher, a
man on woman for third of a year;
possibly the woman for half year
not the man. Says MIR. Nc
Andrew, very justly: The givers TO

siYe apparatus, but the expenditure of

~ OF the political significance of
4 u the resignation Of Penrose
McClain and the appointment
William McCoach as collector of in
ternal revenue for the Philadelphia
district appears in the Philadelphia
Press. 1t is evidently from the pen of
former Postmaster General Smith,
whose version and Interpretation of the
facts is as follows:
First, Mr.. McClain as federal off,
Ger appeared upon the public platform
during the recent state and city cam
paign as an advocate of the Union or
fusion ticket Second, he did this in
the face of advice from the admins
tration not to take any part in that
campaign. Third, the policy of the ad-
ministration was to keep hands off
from the local contest then going on.
Fourth, when the question was raised
whether a more conspicuous federal
officer should take the stump for the
regular Republican ticket the presi-
dent distinctly discountenanced it, and
by his direct suggestion the officer in
dicated remained silent.
"These facts sufficiently define the Of
hcial attitude .pfs'the president as to
that political struggle He did not
deem it best that .Iiis administration or
it's representatives should actively par

a = EXCELLENT reason why
~ the courts of justice are
4 ~ sometimes held lightly in
public esteem was supplied
In the case brought yesterday before q
jury in court room No. 8. 1t was q
case from Carbondale 1t involved the
alleged theft of a dog. 1t was not a
full-grown dog, nor even a yellow dog,
but a puppy-a three weeks old puppy.
The puppy belonged to one of the
most unsavory specimens of bedraggled
humanity ever seen in u local court,
and it's loss was not discovered by
her until half an hour after the de-
fendant had left her place. But, never
theless, she had him arrested and upon
her suspicion that he had stolen her
dog the man was bound over to court
and a LackaWanna county grand jury
returned true bill.
The case should never have taken
more than five minutes of an honest
alderman's time. TO bring it into court
where it cost the taxpayers at least
thirty times the pups value, and where
it was not proved even that there had
been any theft, was an outrage without
a single redeeming feature. If there is
one thing more than another that our
judicial system needs it is a complete
recasting OF the processes of admins
tering justice in small cases.

talked OF by the President and his advisers Every
| member OF the cabinet likes a joke. and some
| times each man has a good story to tell. One o
| these was told the other day, Secretary Long be-
| ing credited with the narrative
The story is about Charles Page Bryan, the
| American minister to Brazil, and a Brazilian cat
| There is not more alfabe or courteous man Ill
| the government service than Mr. Bryan One
day Mr.. Bryan was at the home OF a Brazilian
official, and seeing fine looking Brazilian cat
| expressed admiration of it. The Brazilian official
promptly turned it over to Mr.. Bryan, with the
assurance that it gave him great pleasure to pre-.
sent it to q person held in such high esteem.
Mr.. Bryan was delighted and could not do too
much for the cat when it was sent to his house.
But in few days there was a change. Tile
cat, u mixture Of the domestic and wild animal,
proved an awful nuisance. There were times
when he possessed the aroma OF Barnunl's whole
mcnagerie. The worst of all was that he did mean
things-tore up clothing, scratched furniture,
fought all the other pets and kept Mr.. Bryans
home in 4 turmoil.
4 week later the coast and gcodetic survey
vessel, the Pathfinder, put in at Rio Janciro. Ot
course, all OF the officers called on Mr.. Bryan.
The commander of the vessel admired the cat.
Mr. Bryan said ii gave him the greatest pleasure
to present it TO his friend So the cat was in
stalled on the Pathfinder, which started on its
way up the Pacific coast Three days was all
that was needed to convince the Pathfinder and
its officers that the cat was the worse nuisance
known. They didn't know what to do with the
animal Stopping at another South American port
one day they found United States war ship in
port The officers of the vessels exchanged visits.
The naval officials saw that cat and admired its
conduct. Why, certainly they could have the cat,
although they hated to part from such 4 fine ami.
NAL. Forthwith the cat was sent on board the
manof-war and soon thereafter the fun began.
The officers saw that they didn't have mascot,
but they held conference, and as they were GO
ing to Rio Janero they knew what to do. They
would Just present the cat to friend. So when
they put into port they called on Minister Bryan
told him they had a fine cat and would send it
TO him as u present. He accepted the present,
but there is said to have been Il funny twinkle in
his eyes when the naval people told him the Off
GERS of the Pathfinder had given it to them.-
