given him.

Better Pay for Teachers.

As a people l think we are waking
up to the fact that there must be bet
ter pay for the average man ana aver
age woman engaged in the work of
education. But l am not speaking Of
this now; l am not speaking of the
desirability, great though that is, of
giving better payment to the avel se
educator. = am speaking of the desir-
ability Of giving to the exceptional
man the chance of v'inninS an excep-
tional prize, just as he has the chance
tC do in law ami business.
In business at the present day moth
ing could be more healthy than an
immense reduction in the money value
of the exceptional prizes thus to be
won; but in scholarship what is need
ed is the reverse. In this country we
rightly go upon the theory that it is
more important to care for the well
fare of the average man than to put
a premium upon the eXertions of the
exceptional.
But we must not forget that The
establishment of such premium for
the exceptional, though of less i'm
portance, is nevertheless of very great
Importance. 1t is important even to
the development of the average man,
for the average of all of us is raised
by the work of the great masters.
1t is, l trust. unnecessary to say
that 1 appreciate to the full the fact
that the highest work of all will
never be affected one way or the
other by any question of compensa-
tion. And much of the work which
is really best for the nation must
from the very nature of things be
non-remunerative as compared with
the work of the ordinary industries
and vocations.
Nor would 1t ever be possible or de-
sirable that the rewards Of transcen-
dent success in scholarship should
even approximate, from a monetary
standpoint, the rewards in other vo-
cations. But it is also true that the
effect upon ambitious minds can not
but be bad If as a people we show
our very light regard for scholarly
achievement by making no provision
at all for its reward.
The chief use of the increased
money value of the scholars prize
would be the index thereby afforded
of the respect in which II was pop
ularly held. The American scientist,
the American scholar, should have
the chance at least Of winning such

Good teachers, excellent institutions.

business, Jaw CT politics.
The Prize of Scholarship.
There is no one thing which will
bring about this desired change, but
there is one thing which will material
ly help in bringing it about, and that
is to secure to scholars the chance OF
getting one of few brilliant positions
as prizes if they rise to the first rank
in their chosen career. Every such
brilliant position should have as an
accompaniment an added salary
which shall helD indicat' row high
the position really is; and it must be
the efforts of the alumni which can
alone secure such salaries for such
positions.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Transactions
on the Stock exchange were not so
large today d, as yesterday but sales
reached above the million share mark
and the less congested dealings in
Reading sufficiently accounted for the
contraction in the total. The move
ment of prices was hesitating and ir-,
regular, the level fluctuating constant
ly in either direction throughout the
day.
The violent advance in Reading, in
stead of proving an incentive to the
buying of stock elsewhere, developed
into a positively deterrent factor. The
rocket like rise in that stock to above
80 in the first hour proved &C wet blan-
ket to the speculative enthusiasm and
the upward course which prices had
taken at the opening was reversed.
q When Reading was let back and
quieted somewhat prices were pushed
upward at some other points and eff
forts made to revive the animation of
the market. 1t was diligently sought
to conlvey the impression that the eX
cited rise in Reading was due to it's
heavy earnings and the highly prosper
Gus condition of the anthracite trade
rather than to any large outstanding
short interest or to any danger of a
corner in the stock, as began to be
feared
Rumor continued very busy with as
sociations of a short interest in the
stock which was in distress and there
was much conjecture as to it's identity.
At the same time the way In which the
prosperity of the anthracite trade and
the earnings of the coalers were en-
larged upon made a diversion of the
speculation into the other coalers, the
easiest recourse for the market leaders.
The movement turned first into On
tario & Western and then into the
Eries Amalgamated Copper enjoyed
an early advance on the strength of the
increase of the divident disbursement
by subsidiary company and the ex-
pectation of corresponding action by
its own directors during the day. But
the speculation in the stock proved un-
usually quiet for a day set apart for
dividend action and it was under pres
sure on reactions with the rest of the
market.
Besides the misgivings aroused by
the fears of trouble among a short
interest in Reading, the threatened
strike of 'trainmen in the Pennsylvania
service caused an undertone of anxiety
throughout the whole market. The in
dustrial situation has been singularly
free from labor disturbances for some
time past and the intrusion of this fac
tor aroused a feeling of anxiety as to
sspossble spread.
Brooklyn Transit weakened on the
report submitted to the street railroad
commission concerning the large outlay
which would be required to secure the
effective operation of the system. This
movement and pressure against Read
ing and Amalgamated Copper helped
tomake the closing easy.
There was broad and active de-
nland for bonds of practically all
grades and the course of prices was
generally upward. Total sales We're
$6,005,000.
United States bonds were all un-
changed on the last call.
