LOW WAGE GlvENiSCHOOL TEACHERS
DRIVES THEM TO OTHER VACATIONS

written by State Superintendent Al
fred BayIissJ
The last school census in Illinois
gave 1.4f3. &c children of school age.
OF these 95s.55f attended the public
schools more or less. The public
schools are classified as graded and
nngraded. A school which has but one
teacher is 'classed as ungraded. Any
school which has two or more teach
ers Is cIassed as graded. In the graded
schools there Were GG0.;;@G pu
pills. In the ungraded there were 31s.-
Els pupils. The last number were dis
tributed. among 1867 districts. Some

Of schools. Many country districts pay
their teachers as high as SEQ a month.
In rare instances they pay as high as
S75 a month and in the smallest coun-
" OF the state one district school teach
or draws $50 month.
But there Is a wide difference be
tween the wage scale OF teachers in the
graded schools and teachers in the I'M
graded schools. The total amount of
teachers wages for the whole state last

schools received but 1890 5S.sS This
means that the average yearly salary
Of the men in the graded schools Is
SSS3. while the average yearly salary OF
the men in the ungraded schools is
$751; a like comparison OF the aver
age yearly wages of women can be
made by any one who will take the
trouble TO divide s7.G70.f1:.91 by L.
$50 and S2.O39 .c6S.12 by S.443. These
amounts represent respectively the ag-
gregate wages Of the women in the two
kinds Of schools. This comparison is
not quite fair in one way. The whole

WHY DOES
A BABY CRY?

Because it is either hum
cry or in pain. Properly
nourished it will usually grow
up right and be comfortable
that's the principal thing
for a baby.i If its food lacks
strength and nourishment
add SCOTS Emulsion at feed
ing time. A few drops will
show surprising results. If a
baby is plump it is reason
ably safe. SCOTS Emulsion
makes babies plump.

things Mr.. Rayner said:

Is there anything conceivably more
atrocious than the recent sale by a

States Government of six hundred
life preservers, each one of which was
found to contain a bar of iron six
inohes.in length Embedded in the six
pounds of compressed cork required
b. law in each life preserver? Acct
dent revealed the presence in one, of
the cheap substitutes for cork. which
is known to be expensive, and ON ex-
animation the whole consignment was
found to be so loaded. What extreme
Il nit of the law can be made to apply
t. such fiendish devotees of comm err
