BETTER SALARIES FORTEACHERs

1t is gratifying to note that the public
school committee has seen its way clear
to increase the salary of some of the
faithful teachers in the public schools.
The profession of teaching has not been
initiating to men and women of real
talent because of the small salaries. The
most talented women have adopted it as
a profession because few other avenues
were open to them OF late years there
has been a constantly increasing num-
Der of capable men coming into the teach
ing calling and still more Will come if
the rewards are in keeping with the
knowledge required and the labor to be
performed.
Only last week one of the best farmers
In Wake county complained that in his
district the pubic school was not as good
as 1T ought to be because the salary was
not sufficient to secure the best teachers

NOTHING BUT TREES

In his article on THE Conquest of

Stannard Baker makes some very sur
prising statements in regard to the still
standing forests of North America. He
says:
Nowhere else in the world is there
such forest as this. A few steps in
any direction from the roads of the log
gers brings one at once to the prim-
eval wood.

tinent long is this wood, facing the

But long before the seed of this hoary
giant was sown to the wind. forests
were old on these hills. For fifty thou

tains been forest clad one forest ris-
ing five hundred years from youth to
maturity, sinking away in ripe old age
and giving room to another generation
of trees. Deep in the earth to-day lie
some of these ancient forests, changed
by the slow chemistry of the ages into
coal, and now at last beginning to give
out for men the sunshine which they
stored up centuries before the begin
ming of history.
We hear much of the magnitude OF
western numbering operations. Truly
they are great and wonderful, and yet
so vast are the forests that men have
barely notched the edges. An eye that
could see the continent length would
hardly perceive the puny cuttings of
the few loggers among the great trees.
