Clerks and Farm Hands

The principal topic at the morning SEES
sion of the teachers was in reference to
salaries-a subject in which every member
of the association present displayed marked
interest. The question was brought by Su-
perintendent J. W. Carr. OF the Anderson
schools, in a discussion of a symposium. "A
Permanent Teaching Profession" Superin-
tendent Carr in the course of a speech rela-
tive to this topic introduced the following
resolutions, which were adopted:
Resolved: /. That this association ap-
points committee of seven. TO be known

Cents Per 10000 Feet.

est received by it. Charles a. Garrard, the

INSTITUTES DISCUSSED.
Teachers Believe They Can Be

conducted Better Dy counties.
A large audience of teachers and superin-
tendents assembled yesterday afternoon to
listen to the symposium on 1.-The County
Institute" A musical feature of the after
noon was the violin playing of Jessie Mon
teze Jay. The young woman plays ex-
quistely, and the large audience was de-
lighted with her.
The symposium consisted of three SUBJ
jects relating to the county institute, as fol-
lows: Its Value" Mrs. Emma Mont Nc
Rae, of Purdue University; Can College
Work Be Done There?" DR.. d. w. Dennis,
Betterment" Or. Robert J. Alley, of Indiana
University. In making suggestions for its
betterment, DR.. Alley talked plainly. He
declared that institutes have been a great
factor in the great growth that education
has had in this State. The institute in this
State has three purposes in view: 1t is a
school of method, school of new views,
and school of inspiration. DR.. Alley said
he could not see that the institute could be
any one of these separately, but these three
distinct notions are at work in every good
institute.
DIR. Alley said it had been proposed as a
suggestion of lettering county Institutes
that the State should take hold of them. He
does not believe this is the thing to do
The State might make mistakes in select
ing instructors and this would be far-reach-
ing in effect. DR.. Alley believes that under
State control the institute would border on
acknowledgements drop to a lower level.
He made the point that there are three
factors to be considered toward the bet
terment of the county institute. These fac
tors are the county superintendent, the in
structOr and the teacher. DR.. Alley declared
that the superintendent in selecting an in
structor for the institute should shun the
funny man as he would a plague. The
clownish man that selects the institute
platform as a place to work off his stale
jokes has no place in educational work,
DR.. Alley thinks.
In her talk Mrs. McRae maintained that
the institute should be a place for the high
est ideals. The teacher should go from the
institute feeling that he is happier in his
work, that his employment has taken on
a new significance. The speaker said she
had heard people talk about an arithmetic
until one would begin to think it was a
creation of art. The general discussion OF
these topics was led by President l.. NJ.
Sniff, of the Tri-State Normal College, at
Angola.

people in general TO assist in making it pos
sible for teaching to become permanent
profession.
Mr. Carr reviewed the wages paid to In
diana teachers, and compared them To the
wages received for other labor. An or
binary farm hand. said he, 'can earn so
month, s2i0 a year, and have his board
and lodging thrown in. An ordinary clerk
can earn from SO TO SIS week. and good
stenographer can earn from s. TO so a week
or from $50 10 81 900 a year. There are only
about 25G teachers in the State who receive
more than $1,000 a year, but there are more
than 900 railroad employees who receive
more than $1000 year Mr.. Carr sug-
gested that it is a poor minister, indeed. who
does not receive $500 a year. while most OF
the town and city charges pay from Sl,OVO
TO $1,000 year. with parsonage, marriage
and funeral fees, donation parties, Christ
mas and birthday parties thrown in The
country doctor that is at all successful can
: count on at least $1,000 for his work. The
successful lawyer in the ordinary county
seat can earn from $3.50 to $1,000 a year,
while the successful city lawyer may re-
ceive from $1,000 TO $500, or even more a
year Among others heard along the same
line were w. a. Mills, of Charlottesville;
D. A Lambert of Kendallville; O. Z. Kin
sey, of Valparaiso; w. T. Stott, of Frank
lin; w. A Bell, of Indianapolis, and w. A.
SUPERINTENDENT F. w Cooley, of the Ev-
ansville schools discussed the question of
needed legislation for the elevation of teach
ing to u profession and the schools to per
lection. He advocated the selection of a
head for the school system of the State by
the State Board of Education, and he be
lieved this board should be reOrganiZed and
taken out of politics. He would have the
board consist of the State superintendent,
three representatives of the States higher
educational institutions, the superintendent
of schools In the three largest cities of the
State and that these should elect two
other members. One should be a county
Superintendent of schools and the other
might be selected from the non-State higher
educational institutions.

FOR THE NOMINEE.

The more or less able Democratic papers
of the country. aided by few Republican
journals of questionable party loyalty and
unquestionably sensational methods, are
very active just now in an attempt to
show "a breaking of the solid ranks of
Republicans" There are weird tales of
friction, and fights and factions. there are
picturesque stories of revolts and persis-
tently repeated reports OF tremendous popu-
lar uprisings some place or other about
something or other, and throughout all the
tale-telling there runs a note Of pathetic
anxiety for the future of the party in
power. OF course, all this is most touch
ing. and the Republican party will doubt
less appreciate to their full value these evil
dences of tender solicitude and sympathy.
And with its appreciation the party will
mingle full understanding that the only
element of cohesiveness in the entire edi-
torial campaign of trouble prophecy is the
distinct lack Of facts.
Some idea as to the amount of truth lying
in the asseverations of general Republican
dissatisfaction may be cleaned from a
knowledge of the party conditions in this
State, as shown at yesterdays love-feast
Indiana has received the major share of at
tention in this battle of myths, and the
Stiffness OF the tales of trouble here is
known to all party men. Indiana never
was more sOlidly Republican than it is to-
day. and the Republican party of the State
never was more firmly united in the bonds
of unity of patriotic purpose than it will be
when it enters the struggle of the next
campaign. Few Republicans will be dis
turbed by the shoutings of the Democratic
editors and their supporters. There is a
distinct paucity of material for the manu-
facture of Democratic shouts, and it per-
haps would be cruel to frown down toe
sternly the present clamorings But the
severe nervous strain under which the ex-
citable editors and correspondents are
laboring doubtless would be relieved to a
great extent by the coming Of this lesson:
The Republicans of Indiana in the future
as in the past. will be for the nominee.
