WOLVES IN

Frequent complaint Is made Of the
ravages Of wolves among the sheep
and cattle Of Wyoming. and while
these pests seem not to be SC num-
erous in Colorado, no doubt they aus
the loss Of many animals in this state.
A prairie wolf is q dangerous animal
under almost any circumstances. and
while men are rarely attacked an un-
armed person is not entirely safe. A
report was recently received from Sara
toea, Wyo., showing that wolves had
killed a horse in that vicinity and stray
cattle and sheep are at their mercy.
It has been said that some men have
protected young wolves in order to Sc
cure a bounty for their scalps. and
this has been advanced as an argument
against the payment of bounties for
their destruction. But it is improb-
able that many such cases have occur-
red. The cattle and sheep men are
too eager on their own account to de-
stroy them to incur the risk Of rear
ing them for the sake Of a bounty.
1t would be well II the different states
in the arid region would provide for a
combined movement for the destruc-
ton Of wolves and coyotes. Large re-
wards offered for all wolves killed In a
roundup or wolf hunt would stimulate
cowboys and others to organize hunts
Of that kind. 1t could be made an *.
citing sport by no means free from the
element Of danger, and II the practices
were begun, II would soon rid the coun'
try Of many Of these pests. Coyote
hunts are the order of the day, and
wolf hunts also might we'll be adopted.

SALARIES OF TEACHERS.

There Is an excellent article in the
March number of Worlds Work on
public school teaching as a profession.
by William McAndrew. This writer
has cast about considerably for the in
formation he gives. In New England
he found they say Of themselves that
they are looked on Sometimes with
contempt. often with pity" "Ths
young men fresh from college follow
Thomas Reeds example and take a
school to keep the pot boiling while
they are preparing themselves for the
law or something else" The young
women keep their eyes open for a hus-
band and IN easier life" Conditions
are growing rather worse,' says q
Maine man. Maine pays in cities Of
more than eight thousand inhabitants
an average of $44s per annum to its
teaching and superior officers. The
average in the villages and rural dis
tricts 10 30 much lower than this that
1.-The service is the subject Of persist
ent and incurable ridicule."
This is about the condition which
exists throughout New England. In
Connecticut 1.-The teacher does not
have q social standing because he
cannot afford It," He intends to
leave the calling" The woman espe-
cially announces that she expects to
teach only q short time because "she
would prefer to manage fewer child
rem and those all her own"
The statement is made that the
teachers of the cities Of New York re-
ceive An average salary Of 1858 as
against $72S in Massachusetts, cities
and $52s In the cities of Pennsylvania.
The teachers Of New York are the
highest paid teachers Of America and
Of the world. They are ready to ans.
wer all questions and to be quoted az
responsible for the statements. In
other words, they have the feeling OF
. free American citizen. In Pennsyl.
vania az q whole, salaries average
1852 for men a.i 1904 for women, just
about the starvation point. In Wyo.
ming the average salary is probably
away below $500. The 1902 report on
this point has not been issued.
The conclusion drawn by the writer
in Worlds Work is that higher wages
will induce a larger proportion of tai
ented men and women to enter the pro-
fession and remain in the school room.
One thing is certain, our schools are
mot up to the standard they should as
sumo and it is not probable they will
increase in efficiency till we raise the
salaries Of u teachers to a point that
will warrant men and women of the
very best talent to enter the school
room. Teachers of some sort may be
had at any price. But talent can only
b secured by paying the price.

STATE PRESS

Our STATE University
We notice some adverse comment In
the newspapers from the north regard
ing the large appropriations made by
the Seventh session of the Wyoming
legislature for the state university at
Laramie. This is a wrong view of the
matter. The money appropriated for
the university will not be wasted, az
will some of the money appropriated
for fish hatcheries and for other pur'
poses. We honestly believe that there
was too much money appropriated At
the last session of the legislature but
not one cent too much was appropFi'
ated for the institution where hundreds
Of young men and women of our state
will be educated in the future. The
university Is permanently located u
Laramie. Everybody comedies that
and while we are not boosting fol
Laramie, we will always be found try
ing to help the university with . good
word. and II we had a vote in the leg
islature we would cast It for money to
build up the university and other In
situations Of learning, instead of fish
hatcheries, worlds fair exhibitions
and other things for which the people
never get ten cents in return for the
dollar they put out. It was . great
mistake we believe. that an appropria'
ton was not made to build . normal
school at Casper or at some other
place in the state. In years to come
it would have been worth dollars to
Wyoming, where fsh hatcheries will
not be worth . cent. The money to be
spent for the university was not fol-
Laramie, but for your children and
mine. and some day We hope and ex
pect to get returns for it.-Caspel
