AMERICAN IN FOREIGN SCHOOLS.
Instructive Facts Brought Out In a
Census Bulletin.


The criticism of our American school svs
tenn on which an English educational COM
mission sent TO this country a few years
ago dwelt most emphatically was that we
are 'feminiEing' our boys by reason of the
great preponderance OF woman teachers
1t seems however, from a census bulletin
prepared by Prof. Walter F. Wilcox of
Cornell university, distinguished statis-
tcian, that relatively TO the whole number
OF teachers women are about as numerous
in England as in this country The per
centage OF women teachers in England in
1901 was 1872; in this country in 1900 II was
7S4 The percentage here, however. was
much greater than in other European coun-
tries, where IT was. according to the latest
census returns. only S1.5 per cent for Ger
many, SIS for France and CAS- for Italy.
Another fact brought out by Prof will
COX will doubtless provoke surprise. II is
that proportionately TO the population of
teachable age there are more teachers in
England and Wales than in this country
| though the proportion here is greater than
in Germany, France and Italy. In specific
| groups of our states, however, where the
! school system has been best perfected, It is
| larger than In England and Wales In New
| England It is 2Ol to 10000 persons between s
and "a years of age; in the western division
| a
| land and Wales It is ITO. For the whole
| continental United States II is 40: but the
| general average is reduced by the relatively
small number in the southern states, the
proportion OF teachers to population OF
| teachsble age being twice as great in the
north as in the south,
| 1t appears from the statistics presented
by Prof. Wilcox that the supply of teach
ers to population is slightly greater In the
cities than outside them-in the 16O cities
| having a population OF 5000 and over l46
| TO 1000 people between 8 and "a years, and
outside them l3S. In the cities nearly FIVE
| siXths and In country only seven-tenths
| OF the teachers are women.
! OF the teachers in the United States in
1900 the white numbered 42442 and the
negro only n 267. It is interesting to note
that there were also Ss4 Indian teachers
and 60 Mongolian OF the white teachers
more than two-thirds were natives Of ma
tive parentage, about a quarter natives OF
foreign parentage and less than one in six
teen of foreign birth. 1t appears, however
that while generally the immigrant popu
lation contribute fewer teachers relatively
to their numbers than the negro, the
daughters of immigrants are numerous, as
this table, computed from Prof Willcox''
statistics shows:

The costliest and most beautiful school
ever built in New York was opened last
Monday. 1t rears its five stories up above
Mott and Elizabeth streets, between Spring
and Prince, a neighborhood occupied al
most entirely by Italians who dwell in
shabby, old frame houses or tawdry-fronted
tenemeI.ts, And while the new school build
ing would be beautiful in any place, II
takes on an added lustre from its frowsy
surroundings.
About $4,000 will have been the cost OF
the building when 1t is thrown open for
school use. One feature OF this building,
1 which 1t differs from all other school
buildings in Manhattan Is that a court
yard affords a place for the evening con-
certs through the vacation school season
that is practically on the street level, and
not up on the roof, as most of these play
grounds are.

The children OF the block in West Ninety
second street, between Broadway and West
End avenue, are keeping unusually quiet.
The dogs scampered gayly and from back
yards came the song of embattled, tri-
umphant cats. All had heard the news
that the landlord OF No. 259 had ordered
from the apartments every family that pos
sessed a small child. The blow fell upon
four families of the twelve in the apart
ment house.
These families liked their apartments. 1t
has, according to the tenants, a model
janitor and polite hall boys. Andrew Brose
is the landlord and this is the letter he
sent to the child blessed tenants:
Dear Sir: On the expiration of your
present lease, September 30. l would re-
spectfully ask you to vacate your present
apartment, inasmuch as I do not desire to
renew your lease for another year"
No explanations were forthcoming from
Brose, but the janitor admitted that only
those with children, no matter how young
must 20.
In a letter of protest one tenant wrote
that the owners prediction for dogs must
be based on the law Of consanguinity, and
therefore he couldn't blame the owner
Prospective tenants with dogs are not

In which some persons make a living in

is the prophet and preacher of a
new sect, with large member
