Interest the Legislature.
Milwaukee Dec. 29.-The Wisconsin
School Teachers Association, at the
general session this morning, unani-
mously adopted resolutions asking the
legislature to appoint committee to
investigate the conditions pertaining
to the equipment, maintenance and
teaching service of the graded and
rural schools" and report to the sue
ceeding legislature. The association
will appoint committee to secure the
appointment of the legislative COM
mission.
In the discussion and reports pre-
scented it was brought out that the
average wage of the rural school
teacher is $33 a month and of the
graded school teacher $35 a month.
There is hope for the teachers, Pro-
lessor Sage said, when he moved the
adoption of the resolutions, as the pub
LEFTY given the matter Of teachers
wages had resulted in advancing the
wages of teachers in the state more
than 100000 in the last year, tho the,
mass of rural school teachers had re-
ceived no recognition.

Perdicaris Sees Trouble.

London, Dec. 30.-1on Perdicaris, the
American who, with his son-in-law, a
British subject, was Kidnapped and
held prisoner for ransom by Raisuli,
the Morocco bandit, in May, this year,
in dispatch to the Standard, says:
1.-The situation in Morocco is most
serious. The sultan's life is in grave
danger, and those who seek it are Ia
bic to go at any moment en- bloc to
the palace"
Raisuli, alone, he adds, can secure
a reliable degree of order in Tangier,
but he cannot deal directly with
Greece. Perdicaris suggested to the
French government that the deal with
Raisuli be made thru foreigners.

SUNDAY, JUNE u, 1904.

Mr. F. Hopkinson Smith, in an interview pub
lished in the current number Of The Lamp"
has some pointed things to say about the
material offered to the story-te of the day.
Some of his own material he has found abroad,
but 4 rule he looks for it at home for these
reasons:
To the American novelist, at least. the life
OF his own country must be by far the more
interesting, fruitful and suggestive. We may
be less complex than the European, but we are
also much less obvious There is far less
the surface of our lives than there is elsewhere:
we do not wear our hearts, emotions
our sleeves, as the saw has il. They must be
looked for in the right place and considerable
strenuous digging is necessary to get at them.
Stories of American life need not be super
insight. of intuition. On the other hand, they
must not be too analytical for that would do
violence to the simple outward semblance.
As for the final test Of the availability Of ma
terial, Mr.. Smith has no illusions. "If can tell
the whole story of my novel in five minutes at
dinner table," he says, land secure the I'M
divided attention Of my listeners, know that it
is good. IL fail to do this, my work will be in
vain" This is in line with what we have
always maintained with reference not only to
fiction but TO practically every form Of literature
that writer must interest his reader or he is
lost We are always hearing a great deal about
art in literature Too often it means pre-
ciosity. the torturing Of style, and self-con-
sciousness generally. Without the art OF being
interesting your literary artist may work his
fingers to the bone. and still his efforts will be
of no avail.
