TEACHERS SALARIES.

lOTty CculS udy, lOr lccuiHS iui-
soners. Often times the allowance
is more than STAG a year. But
prison shelter, fuel, clothing and
medicine are extras, paid for out
of the public funds.
The average salary of teachers
in four Southern states-North
Carolina, South Carolina, Arkan-
sas, and Tennessee-is less than
Sl46 year, an amount only suffi-
cient to pay for food for one per-
son OIL the basis of prison fare. In
some Southern states the average
salary of teachers is somewhat
more than $l49, but in no South
ern state is the average salary
twice as much.
Even in Southern cities, all
things considered, teachers sala-
ries are not much better than in
the rural districts. A young wo-
man who leaves college or nor
NAL school five or six hundred
dollars in debt begins work in the
city schools on an annual salary
of 1910, with the hope OF reaching
an annual salary of $50, only af-
ter eight or ten years hard work.
Dat of this meager salary she
must pay for board, clothing, and
medicine; for books, educational
journals, and summer school in
struction. In all not less than
$3.50 year, not counting religious
and social and charitable causes,
to which she must contribute or
lose standing.
Yet financially hampered at
every turn of the way. the city
teacher, as well as all other teach
ers, is expected to preserve her
sweet temper, to be model for
the children in her charge, and to
fill no mean place in the social
life of the town community.
But if the teacher be a man? Ii
he lis an honor graduate of col
lege of good standing, if he con-
tinues hard student, il he is able
to manage boys, if he has the good
sense TO avoid partisan and secta-
rian squabbles, and if he has exc
cutive ability enough to manage a
railroad system or command an
army, he may receive $500 for his
first years work! If he continues
to teach, he may become a princi-
pal or superintendent and re-
ceive $500 to 81 800 a year.
In one of the best Southern
towns young man of unusual
ability and energy served seven
years as superintendent of schools.
He lived in the most single man.
ner possible, consistent with the
dignity of his position and the
maintenance Of his family and of
his self-respect. At the end of
this seven years service he was
81, 900 in debt. The talents and
energy that this man exercised, if
invested in any other business,
would have made him rich man.
For such salaries do we hope to
obtain the services of men and wo.
men of strong character, broad
aud accurate scholarship, and pro-
fessional training-men and wo-
| men fit to become the seed corn
of future civilization? Need We
wonder that men and women Of
the best ability do not often enter
the profession which offers so lit

OUR NEW GOVERNOR.

Governor james b. Frazier was
inaugurated governor of Tennes-
see at Nashville Tuesday. The
State house was handsomely deco
rated in honor of the occasion, and
one of the largest crowds that has
ever assembled at the capitol was
present. A special train bearing
200 Chattanoogans escorted Mr..
Frazier to Nashville Monday.
There was no military parade
nor elaborateness in the cereno-
MES, aud the absence of these was
due to the aversion of Governor
Frazier to everything savoring of
pomp and display.
People from every section of the
State poured into Nashville, the
largest representation being from
East Tennessee, the home of our
new governor.
A committee of officials and cit
liens from Nashville met Governor
Frazier at Murfreesboro Monday
night and escorted him to the city.
An informal reception was tender
ed him at the Tulane Hotel, and
Senator Jere Baxter, chairman of
the inaugural committee, extended
him a warm welcome, and Govern
or Frazier responded in a feeling
manner.
Tuesday morning the governor
was met at the Tulane Hotel by
the members of the general assem-
bly, and escorted in carriages to the
capitol, where the inaugural cere-
monies began at IL o'clock in the
hallof thehouse of representatives,
President Seay presided, and after
the prolonged applause which fol
lowed the appearance of Governor
McMillin and Governor-elect Fra
zier had died away, introduced the
retiring governor, Benton McMil.
lin, who feelingly extended his
gratitude to the people of Tennes-
see for the honors bestowed upon
him.
Mr.. Frazier was then introduced
by President Seay and delivered
his inaugural address. At the con.
clusion of his address the oath Of
Office was administered by Chief
Justice Beard, and Mr.. Frazier was
declared duly and constitutionally
the governor Of Tennessee for the
next two years.
Governor Frazier has announc-
ed the following appointments:
Private secretary-Thomas B.
Carroll, of Henderson.
Superintendent of Public In
struction-S. A. Mynders of Jack.
son.
Adjutant general-Harvey H
Hannah, of Oliver Springs.
Prison commissioner, Middle
Tennessee-W. II. Hartford.
Warden for main penitentiary
Nashville-Luke McMinneway.
Superintendent of the capitol
George G. Porter.
The appointment of Captain s
A. Mynders meets with hearty APP
proval here. Captain Mynders il

South, and the teachers of Benton
County were among the very frs
to endorse him for the position O.
