TEACHERS ARE SCARCE.
Hard Matter to Find Sufficient Mum
Der to Fill the Vacancies in the
Territory.

There is a decided scarcity of ap-
plications for positions as teachers in
the public schools of New Mexico at
present, which makes the securing of
competent instructors no easy matter.
The fact that the laws of New Mexico
in regards to teaching require those
desiring certificates to pass an exam
ination, in which they must make
general average OF 80 per cent, deters
a great many that might otherwise
make application, while low salaries
also keep many away Speaking OF
the matter Professor Hiram Hadley,
superintendent of public instruction
for the Territory Of New Mexico says:
.'We find it no easy matter to Sc
cure competent material of which to
make instructors for our public
schools. Daily receive communica-
tions from different cities throughout
the Territory informing me that they
are in need of teachers. While there
are still fair number of applicants
| for the positions that we have open
from time to time, find that they,
upon learning the rather low salary
as fixed by law in this Territory for
the remuneration of school teachers,
decide that they do not want to come,
unless, perhaps, they be someone who
wishes to come here for the benefit OF
his or her health, but as
|the Territorial law requires
that each applicant shall file
with the board by which he is en-
ployed, certificate from an official
physician stating that he is free from
tuberculosis, this keeps this class OF
teachers from coming here.
Salaries are low, too. In some
parts they are very low. In many o1
the country schools and in the grades
Of the city schools, the salary is about
fifty dollars a month"
Speaking further of the matter, Mr.
Eadley said that at present there were
several good opportunities open fo1
teachers that could speak both thu
Spanish and English languages.

A foreigner who has been &C

sometimes a little puzzled by the

A Stranger in a
X Strange Land.


Paper Read Before the Chaatta,SQua Circle.
A foreigner sometimes gets his
first impression about this country
and it's habitants before he has
got properly started on his way.
While I was purchasing my ticket
for San Francisco, in the Pacific
Mail Company's Office at Mel
bourne, rather tall gentleman
sauntered over to the clerk in a
sort of casual manner and was in
troduced to me by the steamship
agent as Mr.. X, the American
consul. ''Intend to stay long IN
F'risco?" he asked.
NO." I replied. Merely day
or so and then I proceed East"
eff you are not acquainted in
Frisco, I should be glad to give
you a letter of introduction, to
friend Of mine there, who may be
of some use in showing you about"
1 thanked him and he, wrote me
a letter introducing me to Mr..
Mckay, whose address I have for
gotten. I got nay first impression
that the Americans were a most
remarkably polite and obliging
people. Shortly before We landed,
as five or six of us were talking
of what we should do and so forth,
I casually mentioned that as far
as seeing San Francisco was con-
cerned, I was we'll provided for, as
I had letter from the American
consul to friend of his, q Mr..
Mckay.
"By George! so have T. said
one of the others; and coming to
compare notes, we found we all
had, and not only us, but every
first-class passenger, who had
booked from Melbourne, was
equally we'll provided for. Shortly
after our handbags had been
passed on, by the customhouse Of
6cer, sailing vessel drew along
side the steamer and we were cor
daily welcomed by Mr.. Mckay
in person. He told us not to
bother our heads about baggage
or anything of that kind, that his
clerks would attend to everything,
and invited us to go ashore on his
boat As the steamship had an
chored some distance out in the
bay, we did so and were taken to
his Office, where he produced
cigars and liquors, ad galore. Be-
fore we knew just how it was done
we were apportioned off in lots of
seven or eight, each lot in charge
of a clerk. My party was taken
to the Russ house, and after we
had registered, the clerk took Us
to couple of theatres, at each of
which we remained a few mo-
ments. Then to various dance
halls and other places of amuse-
ment, even including Chinese
hop joint.
Next morning the clerk was
again at hand, and after inquiring
very carefully whether we had
slept we'll and SO forth, he piloted
us to McKay's Office, whore |
found the majority of my fellow
passengers already assembled.
He sold every blessed one of us
railroad tickets to our destination
in the East. Mckay was ticket
broker, and the local agent of the
Burlington, and when 1 afterwards
came to consider that that morning
he sold between seventy and eighty
tickets, some of them to Europe,
and practically over any route he
selected, I began to see, somewhat
dimly, that American hospitality
was virtue to be emulated. It did
what very few virtues do in this
vale Of tears, it brought its own
