the whole was that we are not to pour
our own ideas into the child in the eff

sympathiZe with him and work through
him to develop to their greatest useful
ness the powers with which God has en-
dowed him.
In his manner of address, Mr.. Hughes
is very humorous, but under his light
style there is a solid foundation of well
digested thought He illustrates his
thought with many anecdotes, always
well chosen and to the point.

Pensions for Teachers.

The pensioning of professors in the
larger colleges of the country IS
widely commended and the gift de-
serves all words of praise that it is
receiving from press and people. But
class-who are doing much more for
the republic and for those in sore
need of education than the professors
of all the colleges, and who receive
very small salaries indeed. No one
class of persons renders such high
and valuable service as the teachers
in the public schools. and no class in
the public service is SO poorly paid.
Each state is strained to the utmost
to bring its public schools up to a
good standard, and to maintain them
in the highest possible excellence; and
if the teachers in the public schools
are to be pensioned at all-and they
certainly deserve pensions-it must be
done by Congress and the nation.
There is really no reason why Con-
gress should not provide pensions for
worn-out and aged school teachers,
trusting that the states will in the
course of time provide proper remun-
Grafton while they are in active
service.
A civil pension list is not desirable.
but the public school teachers stand
in an exceptional position. They have
rendered very valuable service to the
nation, and they have been poorly
paid. They are poor, although they
have lived simply all their lives. Fed
eral pensions for public school teach
ers may be .ong ways off, but as the
country becomes richer they are by
no means improbable, especially after
the decline of the army pension list.
All recognize, at any rate, the worth
of the work done by the public school
teachers, and all know they have been
poorly remunerated.

IN HOTEL IoBBIES
Fruit orafters.

morris avenue is infested with a very
disagreeabe and annoying species of hui
manity that might be appropriately called
the fruit CRATER . remarked a commits
sion merchant yesterday.
81 know of but one other city in the
country that is troubled with this Gre
allure. That is Atlanta.
THE fruit CRATER comes into your
place of business and while he talks with
you selects the finest apple from the
top of a barrel and proceeds to eat it
with all assurance of welcome imaginable.
He pulls bananas from the punches and
takes small fruit from crates. Now, 1t Is
not the intrinsic value of the thing taken
that makes the practice annoying but 1t
is the harm done the trade.
"One or two choice apples from the top
of a barrel spoils the looks of the bar
rel and our customers are quick to de-.
tect the deficiency. 1t Is readily seen
how a few choice berries from box will
detract from its attractiveness to the
prospective customer We have to make
these deficiencies good and it really
amounts to a considerable loss in the
course of every days business.
THE fruit CRATER is a hard PROPOSE
ton to the dealers ON this street and it is
a nuisance that is not tolerated in most
cities"
