 an average 50 per cent
 superIntendents of these cities and
 towns. Statistics recently published
 show that the earnings of 1S5 men who have been ten years out from the
 Massachusetts Institute of Technology average $3.OS2 per year. The salaries
 of the same number of men from any high grade normal school would prob ably not average one-third as much.
 Illustrations might be multiplied. Mir Mosely the chairman of the dis tinguished English commission that spent several months last year study ing educational conditions in this country, made the following statement:
 'The most striking facts that have l gathered are these:
 "First-The people of the United States spend a marvellous amount of money on their public schools, endow- ing education more lavishly than any other people in the world.
 "Second-They do not spend enough. The salaries pdl0 JedcHeES are not SUI Q l fcient for the service the country de- sires and should have.
 "Third-The money lavished on the schools goes to buildings and equip | ment, which are on a much more gem l erous scale than in England, but the | teachers-the living force of the | schools-are kept short"
 | Unless the business of teaching can he made more remunerative, the su- perior qualifications needed cannot be | obtained. Men and women of talent and culture will more and more seek other fields of enedavor.

no well defined meaning, and in con sequence no well defined practice"
 Much is heard these days of the im- portance of child study Professor George Vincent of the University of Chicago, delivered an address that was charming and at the same time sug- gestive and practical on Group Moral ity Among Children" He contended that we can understand individuals better as we can relate them to cer- tain social groups. Our activities, in- terests and aptitudes are largely re- ducible to the persons with whom we come in contact. The group not only moulds the individual. but 1t actually coerces him Into uniformity.
 ITO vary a little from the ordinary" said the speaker, lis to be interesting; to vary a little more Is to be eccentric; to vary a little more is to be odd; to vary a little more is to be cranky; to vary a little more is to be insane"
 "'Why are you here? asked visitor of a brilliant man who was confined in an insane asylum. Because we are in the minority was the reply"
 We are all coerced into living up to the standards of those around us. We conform to the group to which we be- long. The child also conforms to the ldeal or the chiIuteh afouHu hlh' Snl- dren live group-lives in the nursery, the neighborhood. the boys gang, the girls society, and in the school. The ideals and standards of the group con- trol To be a tattle-tale is to be a traitor, and no normal, healthy boy will endure to be called "goody- goody.'
 "I appeal to you for more sympa- thetic insight into child nature" said MT. Vincent, flor a more subtle way of building up his character on his own standards of loyalty and fair play. We should control the child through his own ideals and the ideals of the children with whom he asso- ciates. rather than coerce him to live LID to our standards. Physical coercion Is always an admission of failure"

OUARRELED 6,IIo TIMES.
And Now the Husband Appeals to the
Courts for Relief.

At Augusta, Ca, there lives a farmer
named John Madgett, who has appealed
to the courts to release him from the
CALLING bonds of matrimony on the
ground of incompatibility of temper. Dur
ing the fourteen years of their conJugal
relations Mr. Madgett makes affidavit
that he and his wife have quarreled Clio
times Mr.. Madgett is thus statistically
precise because, from the very day the
preacher tied the knot, he kept a domes-
tic diary, with a possible view to future
divorce contingencies.
The most prolific source of strife in
the Madgett household has been late
meals-1,5 $50 scraps are duly entered on
this common score of domestic unpleas-
antness. Next on the sad list is Be

LIFE IN GREENLAND.
The Ways of the People, Their Pleas
ures and Their Food.

The Ways of the People, Their Pleas
ures and Their Food.
Greenland's west coast is considered
to have the grandest scenery of any
coast in the world by Roger Pollock,
who writes of journey thither as fol-
lows: 1.-The sunny arctic day, which
lasts for months; sky all flaming
glory, the fretted spires of the Alps
thanked with stupendous cliffs and
based on the restful levels of the sea,
cities of crowded bergs, compound of
dazzling light and radiant color-such
scenery as that blots out ones former
memories Our first port Of call was
Jakobshavn, at the head of Disco
strait, biggest of the northern villages,
a metropolis of nine white people and
~. natives. Beside a pocket harbor,
perched on round shoulders of the ma
ked granite, are the buildings, all
tarred black, of the Royal Trade COM
pany. For a background to the dismal
scene rise higher rocks, Uttered with
garbage and turf huts, the homes OF
the natives. At heart the place Is gay,
for our sailors went ashore every night
to dance with the Eskimo girls, while
the officers of ship and colony snapped
dinner parties, breakfasts and lunch
cons all through a nine days festival.
MEN and women alike" the writer
continues, were linguists, well read,
accomplished, a little too polite for
comfort, living a metropolitan life on
one batch Of letters a year in an arc
tic outpost. Expecting the pathos of
Punishment, l found the gayety Of
perfect content. The Danes of all the
settlements were alike in social charm,
gentle and polished-arrant gossips,
too-and the indoor life had little to
remind one of the outdoor wilderness.
The Innuit servant maids wore the
furry breeches boots to the hip and
curious topknot of their national dress.
One had to fall promiscuously in love
with all of them.
Even the Danish men wore native
dress, but there was one important dis
tinction-they washed. The food,
apart from Danish groceries, was seal
meat. fish, reindeer, venison, shellfsh,
ptarmigan, sea birds and their eggs,
which, as served in Greenland, are al
ways pronounced in flavor"

Volcano in Louisiana.

Louisiana has volcano in active erup-
ton and with crater 20 feet in dame
ter, which is daily growing larger. This
volcano, in the Caddo district near
Shreveport, started nearly three months
ago from a burning oil well, which was
brought in as a gusher and which took
fire within a few days of its opening.
No sooner did it commence to burn than
the 10-mch hole through which the burn
ing oil and gas were coming began to
widen. The derrick and machinery dis
appeared in the hole and the work of
destruction continued
Surrounding buildings have been swal-
lowed up by the cavity, which seems to
be bottomless Great trees growing near
by have been uprooted and disappeared.
In the meantime the burning oil and gas
are being thrown high into the air, earth
and stones being carried up with them.

Charming the Ants.

The mistress of q house in India
has to deal with strange servants, pic
turesque creatures whose minds are
bent at every point by the traditions
of caste or custom. ChOta Chankidar
was tiny night-watchman employed
by CorneIia Sorabji because he had
chosen that occupation. But by day
he helped her to do her gardening, and
after burying seeds would rush eager
ly next morning to see if green leaves
were showing.
When the little green things were
really up, there came white ants to
eat them, and it was Chota Chankidar
who found a remedy.
1T behooves US to call in a magic
man." he said. HE will say charms
to the white ants, not forgetting to use
some black tar, and such things, which
are deadly to the ant people"
Gould not you and l use the black
tar and such things. Chota Chanki-
dar?" asked the mistress, humbly.
Maybe. But we could not say the
words"
But we will say words of our
own"
He thought for moment, and then
shook his head with melancholy en-
ergy. mo, no, Miss Sahib! The faith
er-grandfather ways are best always;
and our r-grandfathers always
called the magic men to this like trou-
Bile. Besides" he added, appeasingly,
"of course, though we people know
better than the magic men, the ant
people are senseless, and would not
understand our language"
SO the ant people We're exterminate6
with appropriate ceremonies.

She Was Bewitched.

Thomas w. Lawson was once visited
in his Boston Office by a young woman
who came laden with all sorts of col.
lege diplomas and gilt-edged refer.
ences. 1t so happened that Mr.. Law.
son needed a temporary secretary, and
engaged her on the spot. When, later
in the day, the young woman handed
Mr.. Lawson a number of letters that
he had dictated, they were chiefly re-
markable for their hideous orthogra-
ply. He called the girls attention to
her blunders, whereupon she replied
with a giggle:
Really, now, 1 think must have
been bewitched."
Quite So" said Mr.. Lawson; "some
fairy has evidently cast a bad spell
over you"
This story affords moral to the
average stenographer and typewriter.
for if there is anything which exas-
perates a business or professional man
it is the inability of his smanuensis to
spell correctly.-Success Magazine

BIG SPREAD OF FEVER.
Alarming Increase of the Yellow
Scourge in Louisiana.

At New Orleans sixty new cases of
yellow fever and four new deaths were
reported Wednesday, bringing the respec-
tive totals up to 653 and 124. The large
number of new cases and subfOci is sur
prising, but no attempt is being made to
account for it. OF the new subfoci three
are uptown, and the balance downtown.
Two dead men were found in a shanty in
the woods, and it was found that they
had died of yellow fever. They were
Italians, who had died from lack of at
tention.
The most alarming feature is the rapid
spread of the epidemic outside of New
Orleans in districts not previously infect
eG There have been twenty-five new
cases reported in outside parishes during
the last twenty-four hours. Nineteen of
these are in the town of Patterson, and
are mostly Italians The three other cases
reported are in st. Charles parish, one of
them being a negro.
In spite of the great increase of the
scourge both in New Orleans and in the
outside parishes, the State board of
health has decided to demand that Gov.
Blanchard call out the militia to protect
travel through the parishes which have
imposed drastic quarantine against New
Orleans. The present chaotic condition
threatens not only to ruin the business
of the city, but is a constant annoyance
to travellers.
A proclamation has been issued by the
board prohibiting any town, parish or
village from refusing admission to per
sol. from a nOn-infected locality holding
a health certificate not more than twenty
four hours old or to person from an
infected locality who has spent six days
in a detention camp, and has been dis
charged with a marine hospital certiti-
cate.
Interference with the passage of steam
boats or trains is forbidden unless they
violate legal quarantine regulations. No
mail, freight or express matter SHALL I'M
der the proclamation, be refused from in
fected territories. provided it is carried
in cars which have been fumigated by
the marine hospital service.
All persons who disregard these regu-
