MEN AND WOMEN TEACHERS.
Their Status in School System Is Said To B.
Changing.

double reaction Is making itself felt among ths
officials OF the Department OF Education-one In
favor OF advancing women to the highest positions
in the system and the other IN favor OF opening
the lowest positions to men
Action was taken by the Board Of Education fouI
years ago to exclude from the teachers training
schools all men who had not been graduated from
recognized colleges Previously. the training
schools required only that men should be higk
school graduates-a requirement that has not beer
changed in the case Of the women
The result OF demanding such qualifications from
the men has been to exclude many from thu
schools altogether. Men with college degrees are
as rule unwilling to enter the teachers traininI
schools. which can prepare them only for $50 DO
sitions in the elementary schools. when, with one
year spent In the schools Of pedagogy connected
with their own colleges they may obtain hist
school positions at much better salaries. For THU
reason 1t Is now proposed to reduce the require
ments for men 10 their former standard
The board OF superintendent Of the Department
OF Education has announced it's intention of au-
pointing teachers in the elementary school,
wherever possible, and this is understood by MANY
TO mean that men will be placed boys classei
IN the lower grades. where they have been ex
cluded for number of years.
Although the women in the school system far out
number the men. thew have never had proper
representation among the higher officials Their
advance has been handicapped by the whe

UNoBsERvED HERo1NEs.

To say what constitutes heroine is as difficult
as definition always Is Perhaps one might define
heroism supreme self-abnegaton. In that case
the greatest heroism would be, momentary
act of self-forgetfulness. like that OF Grace Oar
ling, great that was but that which is long
continued. Yet this latter kind of heroism is not
only seldom honored, but, rule, not even OBJ
served. 1t is oftenest in women, probably,
but is confined them, for neither has
q monopoly OF any virtue. and there is virtue
that is not equally admirable in both men and
women. M.

All week long they would plow in

The Mechanical Process.

s-tBasketry is an ancient art and yet
Its history is quite obscure. Even
the word basket" is said to be of
very uncertain etymology Ia the
ruins of ancient Egypt are many
representations of baskets. and il
the Bible baskets are mentioned
many times, and yet who really in
vented baskets viii likely always re-
main mystery. The first authentic
record of discriminating as an indus
try of any size places the early in
habitants OF England among the
pioneers. In that country and its
possessions, such as India. the de-
yelopment has been very pronounced
and the many uses to which the in
habitants have long put basket ma
terial would seem very strange here
IN the United States. The early day
baskets were chiefly OF Willows.
The first attempt at making bas-
kets from logs provided for beating
wood Of free texture with an iron
known as "beater." This had the
effect Of loosening or separating the
different layers into thin strips. In
accordance with the modern meth
ods, the logs are cut into short
lengths by steam drag saw. The
length OF. the chunks depends upon
the sized basket TO be made. The
chunks are next hurried TO a steam
vat in the ground and thrown in.
Hot water stands in the bottom of
this vat and in this the logs are
cooked or boiled
In twenty-four hours the chunks
