some Educational Notes.

The County SUPERINTENDENT
annual report to the State Super.
.intendent shows some items Of
general interest in regard to the
schools of the county. This re.
port is for the year ending June
80, 1906.
Number pupils enrolled in all
the schools, Tsss. This is a good
showing, being nearly 93 per
cent of the school enumeration.
Number of school libraries in
the county, Ill. There are %
districts having no libraries.
Number of volumes in libra
ries, 7I76; value Of libraries, ST.,
sO7.
Number of male teachers en-
ployed, 90; female, $50; total, 21O,
Number of school buildings
in the county, 145; rooms occu-
pied 202. The apparent discrep-
ancy between the number of
teachers employed and the mum
Der Of rooms occupied is due to
the fact that some districts EN-.
ployed two teachers during the
term last year.
Amount paid for teachers
wages, $50, 146; all other expenses
$9,4s1; total, S65,627.
Average salaries of teachers
per month-male, S46.15; female,
.$31. 10; general average, S35.
Estimated value of school prop
erty, S177360.
Average levy in cents on the
500 for school purposes, -.
The County Superintendent is
now receiving reports from the
various district clerks in the
county, showing name of teacher
employed for the coming term,
salary per month, length of term
etc. These reports, outside OF
cities and towns, Indicate that
fully 20 per cent of the districts
change teachers this year. In
cities and towns the percentage
of change is about 81.
Frequent change Of teachers
is a great educational waste. In
order to do the best work the
teacher must become acquainted
with her pupils and familiar with
their environments. This takes
time. The old teacher can SO
into the school and begin where
she left off last year. The new
teacher must first become ac-
quainted with the situation.
The school work of the county
cannot become thoroughly or
gained until there is far less
change of teachers. But a bet.
ter day is coming. Several
school boards this year have ma.
terially raised the wages in order
to retain the same teacher. It
is to be hoped that the tenure of
terms of teachers will soon be.
come much more permanent.
These reports from district
clerks also show that the schools
will begin more uniformity as to
time this year. Nearly an the
schools will open September 3.
This will make the work more
uniform in the county and fur.
nish a much better basis for com
parison OF work between schools
Another healthy indication of
progress is the fact that school
boards are contracting with
teachers for the full term.

FACTS AGAINST THEORY.
Some Effects of the Tariff Right
Here az Home,

tiers into the daily consumption
of any family living in Rich Hill
that is As per cent higher than it
was ten years ago.
No man in Rich Hill is paying
.15c for beefsteak now that he
paid 10c for ten years ago the
quality being the same. So far
as the writer is concerned he is
paying the same old price, 10c.
No kind Of meat is As per cent
higher than it was ten years ago.
Flour is not 4s per cent higher
now than it was ten years ago,
neither is sugar or coffee. There
never was a time in the history
of the United States when cloth
ing was any cheaper than it is
now. We buy cheese occasion
ally and pay forit the same price
we did ten years ago and get for
our money a far better quality
than ever before. We have
raised a family and have kept
accounts of expenses, and our
personal experience is that never
has there been a time in the past
forty years when the necessaries
of life were easy to get so plenti-
full and cost so little money ac-
cording to quality as now, in this
day of grace under the influence
of the Dingley tariff law.
We have never known a time in
the past forty years when labor
was SO universally in demand
and so well paid as now. Any
man that wants work can get it,
and no man need go to a soup
house for a meal if he wants to
earn it.
Before the present tariff law
went into effect idle men march
ed through the country in armies
and soup houses were established
in almost every city, town and
village in the land. Millions of
men were idle demanding work,
but getting none, for there was
none. Right here IN Rich Hill
where they were getting soc per
ton for mining coal they struck
against a threatened reduction of
wages, and went back to work
gladly at 35c per ton. Men who
did common labor were glad to
get SOC to 75c per day to keep
from going hungry. Mechanics
We're glad TO get S1.00 to $3.50
per day and work was scarce as
hens teeth even at that price.
What's the use to talk about
getting merchandise for little
money when you han't got the
little money. We repeat it again
it's a heap easier to pay 15c a
pound for steak when you get soc
a ton for mining coal than il is to
pay l0c for the same quality
when you get only Zoe a ton. It's
much easier to pay 25c a pound
for butter when you get 81. 80 10
$500 a day for work, than II is 20
pay l5c when you get only soc TO
75c per day for your hard toll.
Better, far better, get good
wages and pay higher prices for
what you consume, than get no.
wages and feed at the public
soup house.
Importing goods from foreign
countries wouldn't hurt the
trusts a mite, for they could con
troll the imports just as well and
possibly with greater ease and
economy, and hence make more
money, than they can control the
manufacturers. Throwing down
the bars 10 foreign goods would
close our own factories, throw
our own fellow countrymen out
of work and enrich the foreign
lords of industry and give the.
of our people 10 the

COAL OPERATORS
SPLIT ON WAGES
Mine Owners and Mine Workers
Will Hold Strike Council
Monday.

Indianapolis, March T.--Coa1 oper-
ators are arriving for the joint confer
ence with the miners, which will begin
Monday. Six hundred bituminous coal
operators are expected. It has already
developed that there are wide differ
ences Of opinion among the mine own
ers as to what should be done.
F. L. Robbins of Pittsburg, president
of the Pittsburg Coal company, is re-
ported as favoring the granting of an
increase Of wages In that district. OPP
orators of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
on the other hand, will oppose any in
crease. Unless the Ryan resolution Is
repealed by the miners convention, 1t
will be impossible for the miners to
sign scale in the Pittsburg district,
even tho an advance in wages is given,
until all the other districts have come
to an agreement and are ready to sign.

mother and sister, Mrs. Won Andre. She
is in a very nervous condition and her
doctors veto any idea Of her returning
to the United States now.
In consequence of the attitude Of her

will move back to Paris at the end of
the Cannes season next month.
Mrs. Depew is anxious to be with her

health would have permitted.

New York, March 17.-Chauncey M.
Depew, who was forced to leave Wash

health, will, it was reported, return to

Friday next. Since leaving the hospital
the senator is, said to have been re-
cuperating in New Jersey. ~.

nephew, telephoned from Irvington- on

would return to the senate within a
few days. ~

ROCKEFELLER IS
A CHICAGO LOSER
Oil King Caught with Morgan in
the Slump Of Traction
Stock.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service
: Chicago, March II. - Information,
which is now forthcoming concerning
the extent Of the financial losses in
CURED in the local streetcar situation
as the result Of the United States SUI
preme court decision in the ninety nine
year act case, discloses that John D..
Rockefeller is interested in local street.
car properties and that he is among the
financial men who are reported to have
lost millions Of dollars because of the
adverse ruling Of the supreme court.
It is said that the investment of the
Standard Oil magnate in the local
streetcar properties was principally in
the Chicago City Railway company
stocks and that Mr.. Rockefeller and
some of his associates became inter
ested when the syndicate, Of which J.
P. Morgan, Marshall Field, P. A. Val
entine and others were members, pur-
chased the stock of that company at
5000.
The loss between the 5000 share
paid BY Mr.. Rockefeller and the pres
ent market value Of the stock, which is
less than $140, according to yester-
days sales, is estimated at the pres
emit time to exceed $3,000,O00, assum-
ing that the investment of John D.
Rockefeller and his associates amounted
to $4,000, 900.
The fact that the highest financial
interests in this country are among
those involved in the loss caused by the
supreme court decision is declared to
create an additional difficulty for the
city to raise the necessary 50,O00,000
upon Mueller law certificates to buy
the streetcar properties.
