Teachers.
From the Boston Transcript
In Ohio there is dearth of male teachers
because the kind of young men who ordina-
rily take pedagogical positions in the rural
districts find teaching too slow for them,
and are going to work in great numbers on
the trolley roads as motormen and conduc-
tors. They naturally cannot see why a fell
low who can all the year through earn $40
a month on the platform should tie himself
down to the professional chair at scant $780,
with long vacations in which there Is no
pay. The teaching profession seems, truth
fully. to be in a bad way.
