and industrial magnitude. And if
those who must fill such careers in
the years which stretch ahead are to
receive the strength to stand as the
sentinels of destiny, those who have
filled their niche in the years that
stretch behind are entitled to a sigh
as the current sweeps them around
the bend. Old Hans never did sin
gle notable thing in his life, yet all
his life has he been sapper in the
hills, far in the van of the army be-
hind, clearing the ground where the
camp should be made when the main
force came up, and his whole rugged,
toilsome life is itself an act of note,
which, woven with that of thousands
of others of his class, constitutes the
fabric upon which we repose and
contemplate further achievements.

out counting the Superintendent or
assistants. But the teacher receives
this but five days each week. This
would be 50. 70 per day for the week
of six days. Now this is not high
wage but many entire families are liv-
ing in this city on less wage. The
teacher. lawyer, business man, engin-
eer, or mechanic who can achieve the
largest and most superior result with
minimum expenditure of energy,
deserves the highest financial compens-
alton, for these are those to whom the
world is most indebted. Mr.. Edison
spent six months on an invention
which when completed was sold by
him for $50, 100000. This represents
value for six months of brain action
by a high order of human genius.
Some years ago an insurance company
in the east paid its president S277
per day, that is, twice the salary of
President Roosevelt. This is a price
set on ability of the highest order.
Thus with the teaching profession,
she possessed of real teaching power
and thorough preparation, should
command the larger compensation.
The state by paying a stated salary
to the teacher, practically, rents as it
were, the use of the teachers talent,
energy, enthusiasm, and life for a
specified time. The purpose is of
vital significance and calls for genius
of the highest order, and quality
should determine the salary. A
teacher came to the superintendent
recently and said she intended to ex.
pend her entire years savings in at
tending college during the summer.
This is the stuff, of which born teach
ers are made. They realize that in
school work the best is none too good
for the children. Another teacher
will close her work this year in order
to enter college, because she desires
to develop power, in this school
business. There is no doubt about her
future success. Here as in every
department. of human effort, brains
and achievement should count.

of those weather beaten, storm bat
tered human piers which have sup
ported the primitive bridges over
which this part of the west has passed
from wilderness to wealth. In new

rude piers of hewn logs. In time the
elements work their relentless will
upon these wooden piers and upon the
structure itself Sometimes, when
increasing wealth and dignity has
supplanted the wooden structure by
stronger spans of steel, and piers of
stone rise beside the piers of logs, the
latter are still left standing, the ruins

TEACHERS. SALARIES.
Communicated,

In the issue of the Signal of Dec. 81
there appeared an article which de-
serves more than a passing notice.
The article in question related to the
salary of teachers. 1t is not the pur-
pose, at this time to comment
directly upon the subject matter of
the editorial but to give some thots
which it suggests. The matter of
teachers salaries has been under dis
cussion for a century. In my own
memory I have personally known
lady teachers to teach for SIS per
month and board themselves. In
Idaho we know some teaching in the
grades in towns having in the school
say four or five teachers who are re-
ceiving $50 per month. In Idaho,
while do not think teachers are over
paid, 1 feel that the matter of adjust
ing the salaries is of greater import
ance than the amount paid The
earning capacity of the average
woman in any pursuit seldom rises
above $50 to 800 per month, SO that
in Idaho salaries cannot be said to be
absurdly low, as is the case in some
sections. There are teachers in this
city who are receiving just double the
salary they received before coming to
Weiser. Salary should be based and
adjusted from two standpoints.
l.; Natural ability and 2 preparation
for the work. In Idaho it is not so
much a question of comparing pro-
fessions and occupations as of compar.
ing those who possess both qualities
named above and those who do not
possess them. The teacher who poss
esses these qualities is worth more to
a community, to the state and to the
cause of education because of this
fact and ought to be paid more. The
teacher though she may naturally
possess the qualities of teacher, who
is not trained thoroughly for her
work, simply cannot attain the results
attained by the trained teacher. She |
lacks the scope and strength which |
come from mingling and associatine
with great minds such as are met in |
colleges and by teaching in large |
cities. Now this training may come
to some, not many l should say, by
experience and work in city schools
along with pedagogical study, an en-
thusiastic devotion to the work. and
a highly developed professional skill.
To others, and, may say to most
teachers. this strength comes by the
training afforded by colleges, univer-
sites or training schools. And here Is
where close discrimination should
be made ia the matter of salary. The
trained teacher who possesses a natural
ability should command the highest
salaries and the best position. A
premium should be placed on Epthu-
asm, devotion 10 duty and profile

HAIL THE NEW YEAR.

The last feeble moments of 1904
are numbered
The watcher who sits up tonight,
if he be of an imaginative DISPOSE
tion, and the night be clear, as it
should on New Years night, can gaze
upon the gemmed heavens and strain
his being to catch vision of that
dim, phantasmal tradgedy which an
nually takes place when the tottering,
feeble cycle is swept out of existence
by the celestial young year. If it is
clear, the heavens will be unutterabIy
silent, asd as one gazes into the spark
ling depths above there will be
pause in the music of the spheres and
not sound will come from the angel
of the stars-if it is a true New
Years night and eternal youth will
clothe their limbs with radiant
beauty. In the old days of the ages
men saw the stars on their ruby
thrones watching with sleepless eyes
upon the world, and they thought
that, as the new year was ushered in,
an archangel visited the universal
galaxy and gave to each star therein
its peculiar charge. They thought
that in these charges the destines of
men and empires we're portioned
forth for the coming year and, uncon-
sciously to ourselves, our fates be-
came minioned to the stars. On that
night was given to the spirits we see
not privilege and power; the
dead are troubled in their forgotten
graves, and men feast and laugh
while demon and angel are cotending
for their DOOM AS we look on the
stars tonight we see naught written
on their faces but that dread calm.
that fearful stiffness which feels not.
not with the earthly
dooms over which they are brood
ing. If, as the men of old thought,
war, tempest, pestilence, the rise of
empires and the fall of men, they
ordain and compass, the stars are un-
exultant and uncompassionate. The
fell and thrilling crimes that stalk
abroad when the world sleeps, the
stealth of the parricide the claiming
