OUR ILL-pAIO PROFESSORS
Criticism BY an English Educator on
Our Teachers Emoluments.
Get Less Than They Could Earn
In Industrial Pursuits.

New York, oct. 6.--Ou .ho nye II lis
departure for England, after six
weeks visit in America, Sir William
Ramsay, X. c. b, F. X S, professor
In chemistry at the University college,
London, has been given banquet by
the physical science department OF
the Brooklyn Institute Of Arts and
Science.
ST. William, in addressing thn IL
ners, aid he had been much impressed
by the great power Of organization
displayed by leading manufacturers
and commercial men in America, but
also had learned that men employed
in a scientific apaCity-especiall
those engaged in teaching the sciences
rs well as law and medicine-were
earning less than they would if they
engaged in industrial pursuits
This condition Of affairs he con
tinued. unless remedied. and remedied
soon, will lead TO the lowering OF the
whole educational status, for t. Will
inevitably react upon the training Of
professional and scientific men in this
country. If trained by third-rate
teachers-as they must bet isunlilSe-
ly that hey will take the rank which
they would have taken il their teach
ers had been men of hrSt-Class ability.
II is not necessary that every pro-
fessor should earn high emOluments,
but II Is necessary that those who hll
the most important positions in the
leading universities of the country
should be well paid. | Eaye noticed
that very large sums are left or given
TO teaching institutions in America by
itch men. Generally, these sums seem
to be applied to the erection Of new
buildings and sometimes TO the found
ing Of entirely new institutions. While
the spirit which leads to such beneh-
cent gifts should meet with com.
uendation, would suggest that It
would be better If the prospective don
ors would increase the emoluments OF
existing chairs, and If they wish to
perpetuate their names in connection
with such gifts these chairs could
easily be named after them
