teachers are women. The men, finding
that, except in the higher positions
principals, superintendent, etc.-there
was no money in pedagogy, have largely
gone into other employments. There is,
too a. drifting of women teachers from
pedagogy which pays them meagerly, into
business positions which pay them fairly
liberal salaries much more, indeed, than
they can set as teachers in the grade
schools, sometimes. Miss Susan Bss,Anth-
ony in letter which was read last week
before the National Federation of Teach
ers in session In Boston, said: Women
must have equal pay for equal work, and
they must be considered equally eligible
to the offices of principal and superin-
tendent, professor and president. The
saying that women have equal pay is
absurd, while they are not allowed to have
the highest positions which their quail
fications entitle them to; SO you must in
sist that qualifications, not sex, shall gov
ern the appointments to the highest posi-
TONS" This Is a nineteenth century idea
twentieth century atmosphere with far
more favor than in the century past. It
is of the time-spirit and will ultimately
prevail This is not a sex question. 1t is
matter of justice and good business
ethics.

Edwards Journeys Of Peace.

King Edwards peregrinations on the
continent of Europe are looked upon by
experienced observers there as looking to
peace. Even in Berlin, according to a
current cable, the German politicians
who are generally in the habit of con-
templating their insular neighbors with
a half sheer, are beginning to recognize
that the English kings movements are
designed to improve British foreign rela-
tions. Edward does not care to main
tain the isolation which has character
lied British policy for some time.
The South African war and sympathy
with the Beers in France and Germany
and Holland, stirred up among, the people
Of those countries a pronounced dislike
Of the English people, which buoyed up
the hopes Of the Beers afield that both
France and Germany would recognize
their belligerency and independence in
spite of the fact Of Kruger's cowardly
flight with sundry bags of gold on which
he is living in luxury in the Riviera.
England's relations with France have
been lukewarm ever since the Napoleonio
wars, which lasted a quarter Of a CEN

A great deal Of hog wash prose is be-

Back to the Farm.

The cry of the Kansas farmer, sorely
beset by his great wheat crop, has been
heard In the east even in the far east
and out of New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia and other cities there is issuing forth
a band of clerks and city-tired men who
are rushing not only to the temporary but
to the permanent assistance of the farmer
The dry goods clerk Is beating his yard
stick into a scythe or rather harvesting
machine and his cane into ploWshare.
The clerks say they are going never to
return. For them henceforth the league
long furrow," the distant skyline, the
farm and nature. They find that from all
over the United States the country boy
presses into New York, and they know
that he will largely find disappointment
They have had all they want of the city,
the pent-up city with it's small salaries and
mammoth expenses, the machine-city with
it's tendency to make every man stand
ard part" There Is no future Of promise
for them in the city, but there ought to be
where jobs seek men, bringing chicken
and ice cream twice a day, instead Of men
seeking jobs and wearing out shoes look
ing for a chance to exist on $40 or SIS a
week.
There is too much city growth in our
times. It is true that men who have
made their piles are beginning to realize
that they must turn to the country fol-
real homes, but as yet they do not In any
great degree offset the influx Of country
bred boys. who come up to conquer the
city and are generally doomed to remain
as mere place-illers in city Industries
To be sure the city couldn't get along
without this human food from the coun
try, but there ought to be turnabout
The country has just as great need O
the surplus, blase city men as the city
has OF the fresh, vigorous countr!
stock. The farmer needs new BLOOD
as much as the city man. The cit!
man, turned farmer, can introduce {
new element into country life; h
can socialize it. The city Is full of mel
who were not born for city life; their tru
home is In the country. There they ma.
easily earn a living, get ahead and be
come somebody. In the city they vii
never amount to anything.
The city has a surfeit of men an
humanity is cheap. The country need
men and humanity is held high. 1t woul
be a splendid thing for the nation If hun
dreds of thousands Of persons could b
induced to follow the example of thes
young men who are speeding to the Kan
sas wheat fields. The immigration prob
lem would be no problem at all if a larg
portion of the immigrants went directl
from the ships to farms, instead Of con
gregating in cities where there is no de
mand for them and where they tend to 6

THE MAGAZINES

The North American Review affords
Mr.. Harold. Cox, secretary of the Golden
Club, a chance to set forth his views
on Mr.. Chamberlain's scheme of prefer
entail tariffs. He thinks no such scheme
can be made to fit into the general free
trade policy of England, and suggests
that Chamberlain seems to think that, the
zollverein system of Germany and the
United States whereby duties collected on
the coast go into a common national
treasury, would be good for England,
while neither Canada, Australia; nor
New Zealand would ever consent: to
have their customs duties fixed by the
imperial parliament In London, collected
by imperial officers, and paid into the i'm
perial treasury. Mr.. Cox objects to sac
rificing the people who bear the whole
burden of the empire for the benefit of
small body of colonials. DR.. Reich's
New View of the War of American In
dependence is a. welcome contribution
to an interesting topic, because it tends
to get people out Of a rut, and out of
some erroneous views DR.. Reich shows
unquestionably that our fathers might
have been whipped had it not been for
the peculiar concentration Of international
conditions which compelled England to
diffuse ,herself SO widely about the world
that she could not concentrate any large
percentage of her army and navy to
handle the colonists, who had effective
aid from France and Holland and the
sympathy Of other Of England's enemies.
DR.. Reich reminds us, too, that we have
always given undue praise to Lafayette,
while Beaumarchais, who spent his for
tune supplying the colonists with powder,
shot and guns, died poor and never re-
ceived from us a single sou or other rec
ognition Of his services. Dr. Reich be-
lieves that the American nation was born
because of "England's unwise defiance
Of Europe in the eighteenth century,
There lis no doubt of this, but it was
England's grievous misfortune to be so
foolish. A fine feature Of the number is
Richard Arthur's dramatic poem, @sOdys-
seus and Calypso" and there are papers
of interest on the Servian tragedy, the
Jewish massacres and the revolutionary
movements in Russia, and Mr.. Austin of
the government statistical department
demonstrates the advanced position of
our export trade in manufactures.
Old China for July continues it's en-
inentlys useful services to collectors of
rare china and those who have special
interest in inherited china services, etc.
There is an illustrated paper on French
faience, much Of which, as that made at
Nevers, tells in its decorations important
events in French history. The Pennsyl-

plates with odd designs. There is an in
teresting illustrated paper on White
House porcelain, showing examples of the
Martha Washington plate, Dolly Madi-
sons service, the Lincoln Mckinley.

Not a Sex Question.

Several Of the teachers at the meeting
Of the National Educational Association
in Boston, have been complaining that a
stigma rests upon the teachers calling
and the teacher Is not held in regard in
the United States. Mr.. McAndrew,
principal Of a technical school for girls
In New York city, declared that there is
great need of real ability among the teach
Srs and he asked how could they acquire
ability when the average salary for men
teachers is 1922 year and for women less
than s27o, while thousands do not get
more than $500 a year. ~+'%
These figures are somewhat suggestive
but Mr.. McAndrew errs when he says the
teachers are mot permitted to acquire
even average ability They cannot buy
books thru which to get ability on the
salaries they get, he says. A teacher
however, is supposed to have some ability
to teach when she gets her certificate OF
proficiency She has, in the public schoo
course, the high school course, the norma
school course; been furnished with great
liberality by the state, with abundant OPP
portunity to read the best literature, edu-
cational and otherwise. After she pro.
cures a position as teacher, she, in the
cities and towns, has access to public Ii
braries, and in the country districts the
state furnishes books in the travelling
libraries. If a teacher cannot acquire more
than average ability as a teacher with al
the useful reading she has within reach
she will never acquire it. She has teach
ers' summer schools and conferences tt
enable her to get the best experience O
the veterans, also.
There is not the slightest doubt tina
the complaint Of many teachers that the,
are not paid sufficient wages for the i'm
portant work they do is perfectly justified
In the rural districts the public schools
are the greatest sufferers from incompet
ent pedagogy, altho the situation is sale
to be improving somewhat there. The
lowest wages have generally gone to tn,
rural teachers. The vast majority Of The

Rural Police.

The large increase in the number OF as
saults of negroes upon white women in
rural regions in some of the middle states,
and even SO far north as New York, as
well as the number Of other violent crimes,
is leading to talk about the establishment
Of rural mounted police forces. With an
army Of tranps roaming over the country
at all times, and in view of the fact that
women and children must often be lef,
at home on the farm, it would seem as If
policel protection were even more necessary
in the country than in the populous city
In the south an efficient mounted rura
police force would no doubt be of vast ben.
eft. The lawless, lazy negroes would be
kept inG order and the lynching white mar
ent in armed force. . II.
In Delaware people no longer dare to lei
their children go to school without ac

so great is the fear caused turnout the

ing in Wilmington there were half dozer

mob's victim was taken who were charged
with attempted assault.
| If there were a strong rural police force

which flourish In the country, because O
the isolation Of it's dwellings would b,
done away with. The<very knowledge tina
there is no person nearer than tie neares
village who is charged with the duty o
maintaining peace and protecting prop
erty is an incentive to crime. The Grim
inal knows that he has a very good chanc
to get far away before he will be pur
sued.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1903-07-15

The protection spirit has reached Nor
way, almost as much of a free trade coun-
try as England. Gunnar Knudson, the
new minister Of finance, says that the de-
preston in Norwegian industries demands
that the country resort to high protective
duties. But what about Germany, which
is just issuing from period of depression?
Industrial depression comes and goes, and
it is difficult to establish a connection be-
tween it and any particular tariff system.
