THE Elizabeth " Journal says One
of the subjects of much interest dis
cussed at the National Education AS
ISOLATION at Asbury Park this week
was that Of teachers salaries, and
with the conclusion that they are too
low. The committee on salaries has
conducted an exhaustive inyestiga-
tion, only to find that the average
salary received by women teachers in
the United States is about 5000 a year.
The salaries paid to male teachers
are larger. But in neither case is the
emolument commensurate with the
social Importance and responsibility
Of the work, or proportionate to the
compensation paid in other Gccupa-
lions for labor of the same grade Of
Skill and intelligence. The national
association cannot give the energies
to anything better than the agitation
OF higher salary reform. The future
stability of our country, and indeed
our civilization, depends upon the
proper education of the young. 1t is
a shame that those who have this
work in charge should be receiving
wages so small as the American aver
age appears to be. - The ideas adj
vanced are worthy of consideration.
But it is easy to see why the salaries
of teachers will be low so long as the
profession" is used as a stepping
stone for something better. Many of
the male teachers teach to help them
selves through college or to fit them
selves for the law or medicine. A
large percentage of the female teach
ers drop out every year to get married.
There lis more competition in teaching
than in other eallfngs because of the
opportunities afforded and the law of
supply and demand regulates the COM
pensation very largely.

EFFORTS have been made for years
by an association of book publishers
to restrain some of the department
stores from selling their books at cut
prices. The matter has been carried
to the courts and by decision handed
down by Judge Ray Of the United
States Circuit Court, the department
stores are fully sustained in their
claim that they are at liberty to sell
their goods at whatsoever prices they
choose. On the other hand the pub
fishers are severely condemned for il
legally combining in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law. The deci-
sion, it is expected, will have a far

THE refusal Of one man to be the
victim of conspiracy and black mail
has shown that there is something be-
sides inordinate vanity to induce so
many prominent society leaders to

selves set forth in papers that claim
to be the opponents Of fashionable

fear of an exposure that led so many

THE fees received by the Secretary
of State at Trenton for filing certif-
Gates Of Incorporation amounted to
Sl26,256.89 last year. In the previous
year the total was 1921, 1924, showing
a falling off last year of S195, l77.05.
The receipts for the present fiscal year
already greatly exceed those of 1904,
and are likely to equal the large total
of 1908. A comparison by months
from January to June inclusive shows
a remarkable increase over last year.
In June, 1904, lie total receipts were
Sl0,os4. Last month they footed up
S45,330 In May the increase was Sl2,-
200, in April it was SIS, l13, and in
March, s27,245. The increase for six
months is nearly a hundred thousand

ONE-THIRD OF THE AMERICAN
UNION SELL PUBLIC LAND.


The preliminary report Of the Public
Lands Commissions appointed by the
President in 1908, brings out facts
which will astonish people who inn
agine that the area of our public lands
has been reduced to comparatively in
significant proportions, says the n. X.
Sun
In truth the public lands Of the
United States still embrace in area
nearly one-third of the entire extent
of the Union and are widely scattered,
extending from the Gulf of Mexico to
the Pacific and from Canada to Mex
leo, including every variety of topo-
graphy and climate" Excluding AL
aska, there are twenty-three States
and three Territories containing pub
lie land of which total area of 473,-
s36, 402 acres still remained on June 30,
1904.
1t is true that of these vacant lands
the great bulk throughout the West
are unsuitable for cultivation under
present known conditions Of agricul-
ture; they are so situated that they
cannot be reclaimed by irrigation
1t is estimated that more than 300,
100000 acres are public grazing land,
an area approximately equal to one
fifth of the extent of the United
States proper. The agricultural pos
sibilities Of great areas Of the public
lands are almost unknown, but lands
which a generation or even decade
ago were supposed to be yalueless are
now producing large crops either with
or without irrigation. " The forest
lands are among the most valuable of

A SUIT has been brought by the city
of Paterson in the Supreme Court
against the East Jersey Water Com
pany to make the company return the
water which is being taken by the
company for the benefit of its stock
holders. In order to do this the city
is going to make the East Jersey peo-
pie show cause for the company's acts.
While the city is the complainant in
this suit yet the burden of evidence
is thrown on the shoulders of the East
Jersey Company. This latter body will
have toprove that it has an ownership
to the waters being taken by it and
sold elsewhere, superior to that ofland
owners along the flow of the river.
This suit is of more than ordinary
interest to the people of Morris county.
In addition to the water taken from
the Passaic river there is also the
water taken from Lake Hopatcong and
the streams in the upper section of the
county, preventing the establishment
Of industrial enterprises, withdrawing
land from taxation, and in other ways
interfering with the prosperity of the
county.
