Al times, however. under the liquidation Of The

New Orleans sent large buying orders but the So
called Suliy clique. or houses which usually rcpr"

County Teachers
Only Twenty-Five Per Cent
Able 10 Pass Examination.
A Higher Standard of Scholar
ship is Demanded.
RESULT OF NEW LAW

County Supt. M. r. Black held
special examination in his office at
the court house on Tuesday. OF the
eight applicants whom were exam
ined only two passed. Strenuous
efforts for higher standard of schol
arship among teachers is the deter
mined purpose of the Superintendent
and his course is at once commend
able. Last year he was distinct in
making it thoroughly known that
unless the teachers prepared them
selves for higher standard of quail
ficatiOn serious results would likely
follow the examinations. And so it
did. The warning heralded year
previous was evidently little needed
and the natural consequence has been
realized. The tension of more corr
servative marking and tendency
toward better standard of efficiency
in school management, proved to be
a task in which great number have
failed. Only twenty-five per centum
of applicants throughout the county
have proved themselves worthy of
the title and distinction they wish
to bear The new school law increas-
ing the minimum wages of teachers
demands that higher standard be
maintained and it is but the duty
of the Superintendent to safe guard
the directors from employing any
but those qualified. Supt. Black is
turning deaf ear to the appeals
for slackening his pace in endeavor-
ing to elevate the efficiency of our
teachers. There is but one hope for
the incompetent-wake up, hustle,
get ahead, keep ahead. How much
more gratifying the results will be
cannot be told in words.

The figures given are those obtaining
in the large centers Of population. They
show that the American workman re-
ceives much higher wages than the
workman In either Great Britain,
France or Belgium. While the Amer
lean workman may not be able to buy
shoes and clothes as cheap as his Brit
ish cousin or live within $50 month,
as can the British workman, his income
Is so much greater than theirs that he
can afford to pay higher living eN-
penses and still save larger amount
Of money each month.
Official data gathered by the Massa-
chusetts bureau of labor show that in
Great Britain 90 per cent of the occu-
pations in which men are engaged pay
less than $40 week, while In the Unit
ed States this percentage is but % per
cent.
The labor bureaus statistics show
that the department store girls of Chi
cago average $500 a year. which is
more than is earned in year even on
the basis of 300 working days a year
by Belgian bricklayers, carpenters,
blacksmiths, house painters, teamsters
or laborers. The sum Is also larger
than the amount annually earned by
common laborers In Great Britain or
France.-New York Commercial
