I..,..s..ss..s..,..,..,.,..,..s..;....s.....,..s

The census bureau at Washington has
issued an interesting bulletin on teachers
and teaching in the United States. The
number of teachers to every 10000 per-
sons of school age, that is. between 3
and "a years, in continental United
States in 1900 was 40. In 1890 it was
127; in 1880, 120, and in 1870, 70. The
ratio of teachers to persons 3 to "a years
of age nearly doubled during the last
thirty years of the nineteenth century
A comparison with the last census fig
ures of foreign countries is given. In
1901 England and Wales had 175 teach
ers to every 10000 children of school
age, in 1895 Germany had 100, in 1896
France had los, in 1901 Italy had II.
in 1891 Canada had 1C1, and in 1895
Mexico had %. OF those engaged in
teaching in the United States in 1900.
1874 per cent were women and 26.6 per
cent men. Since 1870 the proportion of
man teachers has been steadily decreas-
ing. In Illinois there were in 1900. 100
teachers to every 10000 persons 3 to "a
years old, against IA in 1890, lis in
1880, and 76 ia 1870.

Call for More Woodsmen,

The amount of work which will be
done in the pine regions of northern
Minnesota the coming season will be far
greater than that of the past few years,

Very poor success has met their efforts
thus far, however. The exodus of men
from the wheat fields to the timber has
begun, but the number arriving thus far
is inadequate to supply the demand.

would be better if many of the churches

one large church, and the surplus money
