The number Of women now en-
ployed in business and confidential
positions which offer opportunities to
dishonesty is very great, but it is rare
~ that any embezzlement. defalcation
or breach Of trust is committed by
them. This is perhaps to be explained
largely by the absence among women
Of many Of the temptations to which
men so often lay themselves open
and also in great measure by that
sensitiveness as to reputation which
IS more acute among women than
among men.

TEACHERS ARE SCARCE.
They Have Found More Profit
able Employment.

superintendent Dayhof recently sent
out Inquiries to the various county
superintendent of the state asking how
many districts in their respective coun-
ties nave been unable to secure school
teachers, and also how many good
teachers there are without employment
IN their counties, if any 1t is mis- idea
to conduct sort of employment bu-
reau to help out the present stringency
IN the school teacher market in Kansas
informing the unemplos ed teachers of
one county where there is a shortage
OF teachers in other counties.
As f4r as heard from Superintendent
Dayhoff has found ia school districts
without teachers, but only seventeen
teachers without schools. This looks as
though some districts may have to
worry along without teachers this win
ter unless they are willing to come up
in their wages or some method is de-
vised for increasing the supply of
teachers
The primary cause of the shortage is
that theswages of school teachers have
not been increased in the state in pro-
portion o the earnings n other profess
sions. The average salary paid to men
teachers last year was S44.24 asmonth
and to women teachers $500 = month.
The. average school term was d little
less thar six months. The average
teacher therefore earned only about
forty dollars a month and was employ
ed only six months in the year. In
other words he or size earned about $240
a year at teaching. The result has been
that many competent teachers have
turned to other lines of business. The
average man teacher car now make far
more working on a farm out in the
wheat belt than he can at teaching
schools
It is a notable fact that the number
of school teachers decrease In good
times When there is crop failure
many farmers daughters turn to school
teaching to help out the family finances,
but when crops are good they find
plenty to do at home and there IS no
necessity for their teaching. There is
also less money in other lines or en-
ployment and other work is scarcer. So
many long men turn to teaching school.
The repeal of the pro. Vision allowing
county superintendent to issue ten.-
porary certificates is Blamed for the
present situation but this is not the
real cause of the shortage. There will
not be a full supply of competent teach
ers for she country schools until the
wages are raised in proportion to those

is hardly more than thirty years since

the tendency everywhere has been to

hands of the mayor and in cities where
this has been done there has, I think
been distinct gain along the lines of
business efficiency
1T is seldom necessary nowadays to
protect cities against bald and open

of them in their early s1istorv. The

These are days in which everybody

NEARING THE CLOSE.
Final Arguments in the Alaska
Boundary Case. n

London Oct 2.-Sir Edward Carson,
the solicitor general consumed the morn
ing session of the Alaskan boundary
commission today in endeavoring to re-
flute the arguments of David T. Watson
and Hannis Taylor. of counsel for the
United States, especially protesting
against Mr.. Taylor's contention that the
term trend of rhe coast" could only
apply to the political coast line and not
to the physical coast line. He also main
tanned that the principle of acquieScence
was not applicable to the present dis
pute, and somewhat surprised the audi
ence by declaring that under the pow
erS of the treaty of 1908, the commits
sioners had no authority to define ques-
lions submitted to them. and that they
could neither lay down the boundary nor
decide what constituted the coast. All
the commissioners could do was to an
swer questions submitted to them in the
treaty either negatively or Affirmative
ly. If they gave certain answers they
might make matters more confused than
ever and open uD new series of di-
plomatic tangles The solicitor general
concluded with an eloquent reference to
Great Britain's unwillingness to give up
any of her subjects into the control of
other nations. He declared he thought
the public might think the commission
was slow and that counsel were wasting
time; but no time and no money would
ever be wasted if the long standing dis
pute between the two great and friend
ly nations could be solved by the tribu-
nal.
When Jacob NJ Watson. counsel of
the United States. rose to conclude the
arguments, the room was filling up
with spectators. He commenced by be-
lifting the minute examinations of
maps and the pickering movements
words and details, declaring that the
case could only be settled by grasping
the central idea animating the original
negotiators.

BOY WHO PAYS BILLS.
Commissioners Have Found One Who
Keeps Promises.

The county commissioners have found
a boy who is honest when the question
of paying his obligations is at stake.
This boy is Con Gillxie. He is years
old. He was arrested on the charge of
stealing brass from the city railway. He
was convicted and sentenced to short
term in Jail and to pay the costs
amounting to $12.33. When he had served
his sentence Gillxie requested the coun-
ty commissioners to allow him his free
dom and the chance to pay the costs
on the installment plan. He promised
to pay 81 a week The commissioners
allowed him his freedom on his promise
to pay. Gillxie was not required to give
a bond His word is good. He has been
making his payments regularly every
week and he has the receipts from Coun-
ty Treasurer Philips to show that he has
paid This is the first time that the
commissioners have found an honest
man or boy in Jail.

MIR. GRIFFlTH'S PROBLEM.
His Stock on One Side of Creek, Feed
on the Other.

The county commissioners have be-
fore them the puzzle presented by E
Griffith, who lives near Elmont.
Mr.. Griffith re9orted that the late
flood washed away the bridge across
Soldier creek near Elmont. The bridge
is still gone. Mr.. Griffith's cattle. hogs
and other farm animals are on one
side of the creek and the feed for them
is or the other. Mr.. Griffith says that
with no bridge he can not cross the
creek. He would like to have the COM
missioners figure out how he can get
the stock to the feed or the feed to the
stock without travelling seven miles by
way of another bridge.
