The ranks of men teachers are thin
ling every year. The reason is plain
eaching is poorly paid, and they will
lot go on year by year drudging for a
mere living. So they teach for a while
@ make money to prepare themselves
or their life work; and sooner or later
he men leave and enter the professions
II business. Thus the education of the
hildren is almost entirely in the hands
+ the women. They look no higher.
