mendous effect this woman power would
have in the shaping of the morals OF future
generations. He said that in the District
there are 1.4IS teachers in the publlc
schools, of whom 1,2S9 are women Inc
percentage of women is 81 per cent. This is
why 1t was fit that he should bring the greet
ings of nearly 100 women who are devot-
ing their lives to this high calling. This
preponderance of women among our teach
ers is increasing, as it is the country over.
He declared that 'there Is today not one
boy in our white normal school, in class OF
nearly 100, who Is preparing for the teacn-
ing profession. Whether We look upon tnlS
as menace to the highest EMERGENCY IN edu-
cation or the opposite, it seems 10 me the
in this condition lies your opportunity In
the best things you hope TO accomplish
mother and teacher are to be the chleI
workmen.
Speaking OF the changes which President
Roosevelt has expressed an ardent desire 10

self in the most vigorous terms of denial

tain Brownson says that there hLs never
to his knowledge been any violation in let
ter or spirit by the ''middies'' of their Lart
of the compact they made with him soon
after he assumed charge at Annapolis to
RESTRAIN from hazing, and he declares posi-
lively that he has never seen the faintest

Confidence in Public Schools.
Mr.. Shearer expressed his confidence in
the public schools very emphatically.
No schools are turning out a more moral
product than the public schools. he de-
clared. The lessons in reading, history and
other branches are being used for moral
teaching, bat, this is not enough. The in
struction is haphazard, incidental and too
often accidental, If 1t exists at all.
