GREAT INCREASE IF
 SCHOOL TEACHERS
Average of One Teacher to
 Every SeventY-ono Pupils
THE WOMEN PREDOMINANT
Bulletin Issued by the Census Bureau Shows That Teachers Exceed Total Number of Clergymen,
 Lawyers and Physicians.

Washington, August 27.-The census bu- real has, just published as a bulletin an analysis by Prof. W. F. Wilcox of Cornel University of the census statistics relat- ing to teachers.
 Calculating the school age as from to "A, the report finds that, taking the coun- try as a whole, there is an average or one teacher to every seventy=one pupils. The computation shows that the sup ply of teachers in proportion to school population, has more than doubled in the last thirty years. and that teachers exceed the total number of clergymen, lawyers and physicians
 In 1900 Nevada had the largest propor- tional number of teachers; Vermont ranked second; Maine third, and Iowa fourth. The proportion of teachers was small in some of the western states Dur ing the past decade the proportion has increased in every state and territory the increase reaching a maximum in the state of Washington. The states of the north and west showed greater increase than those of the south.
 The bulletin continues:
 The proportion of teachers In continen- tai United States is smaller than in Bng- land and Wales, but greater than in Ger many France. Canada, Mexico or Cuba. During recent years the proportion of teachers increased in this country to a gl eater extent than in England, France. Germany or Canada.
 City Teachers Numerous.
 The proportion of teachers in cities hav- ing at least 25,O0O inhabitants is greater than in smaller cities or country dis tricts. This condition, however, does not prevail in all divisions of the United States. In the North Atlantic and North Central divisions, the larger cities are not so we'll supplied with teachers as the smaller cities and country districts. fact which suggests the inference that where an effective educational system is of recent growth it has developed more rapidly in the cities, but where it has been established for a generation or more it Las established a larger ration of teach CTS to population In the slowly growing rural districts than in the rapidly grow ing cities.
 The immigrant population contains pro- portionately fewer teachers than the negro population. The children of immi- grants, however. have engaged in teach ing to such an extent that the propor- ton of teachers among adults of this class exceeds the proportion among white children of native parents
 In continental United States, as in all countries for which figures were obtain able, the greater part of the teaching is done by women.
 Tn the larger cities of every geographic division in continental United States about 80 per cent of the teachers were women, while in the country the per- centage of women teachers varied from 59.5 in the south central list to 772 in the North Atlantic division.

What happened after this no one
ever knew exactly. Before Mrs. Bur
rift had begun to grasp the idea that
something was wrong, her son had
rushed from the room.
After what seemed an age of wait
ing, but was really very short time,
he returned. In his hand he held
copy of the newspaper which he had
just bought. Mother" he said. put
ting strong restraint upon himself,
II am afraid there has been an acct
dent on the line. You mustn't be
alarmed, for though some people
have been injured, there is no reason
why my father should not have es-
capped, and very likely the affair has
been greatly exaggerated"
Ted" said his sister, in a voice
almost as calm as his own, though
her face had lost every particle OF
color, and seemed to have suddenly
become years older, Let us know
the worst" And she held out her
hand for the paper.
The worst" he answered, with a
sound like strangled sob in his
voice, why should there be any
| worst? And as for the paper" crump-
ling it up in his hand, you cant place
the slightest dependence upon that.
I'm-I'm going up to town by the next
train, so as to be on the spot, and
He may be hurt in some way, you
know" he added, slowly, by way of
preparing their minds for whatever
might be the result. "He may have
come off with broken leg, or some
thing of that sort. You can hardly
expect him to have got off scot free.
But whatever it is. I'm going to find
him out and bring him back home
Take care of mother this to his sis
ter-and he was gone.
But before he could leave the house
while his hand was yet upon the latch
he found himself confronted by the
girl. Goodbye" she said, slowly and
sadly. You will do your best-but
| have no hope-none!"
He caught train which was on the
very point of starting and leaped
into the first carriage he came to
Then he took out the paper which he
had kept so carefully from the sight oil
those others at home, and began tc
study more earnestly the brief but
terrible announcement which 1t con
