SCHOOL TEACHERS AND SCHOOL
TERMS.


A letter from Chester field county {,
the Times-Dispatch, in speaking Of tn,
Increased length Of the school term
says.
"The problem of labor is such an
uncertain thing that, unfortunately
many parents are compelled to use the
children as farm helpers in the fall and
spring season. Full schools will not

seven months except by compulsory
attendance, and if compulsory atten-

there'will first have TO be enacted a
law for compulsory labor Of all able

We respectfully commend these re-
marks to some of our educators WIN
have for some months had rs rally
ing cry, "a ten months school for
every child ~ In the May educational
campaign last spring, this was a
fayOrite cry Of many Of the speakers
We must make our theories fit con-
ditions, and conditions are stubborn
things. In some communities a nine
or ten months term is practical. In
Others it Is not. Many Of our com
munities cannot have successful term
Of more than seven months at present:
and even then many of the larger
boys and girls must be irregular in at

The negroes are leaving the country
districts; and the whites must adapt
themselves 10 new conditions. I'm
time they will do so, by cultiyating
smaller areas, by using labor saving
machinery, by other means that will
save time and labor. I'm the mean

must fit the labor conditions Of the
communities.
This being the case, the fact cannot /
be too strongly pressed that the short

on the market 10 train the children.
Our country children, being in school
only from five TO seven months i'm the
year, should have teachers who can
train them rapidly and thoroughly,
saving every minute Of the precious
school-tme for good work and steady
advancement.
This teaching talent cannot be had
without good pay. The school trus-
tees should raise the salaries Of teach
ers, and raise them considerably; and
then demand good teachers and good
teaching. The extra money given 10y
the General Assembly will permit
raise and the people should supple
ment this 10y increasing the district
tax for schools. a sixty or seventy
dollar teacher in six months will do
three times the work done by thirty
or thirty-iive dollar teacher i'm ten
months. OF all the needs Of the
schools, better paid teachers is the
greatest.

President BOOSTS
Shorter WORKDAY
FEDERAL OFFICERS TO COMPEL
CONTRACTORS TO OBSERVE
EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
MI. Roosevelt Issues Order Looking to
Enforcement of Provisions of En-
actment Of 1902 by Employees Of the
Government.

Washington. July 20.-Action Of the
greatest Importance in labor cir
cles is contemplated in a direction
given by the president to officers in
charge of public works at the in
stance Of Secretary Taft This is to
employ the governments own officers
to direct and punish violations of the
law of 1902, providing except that in
case of emergency, work upon gov
eminent buildings, ships and other
properties shall be limited to eight
hours each day for each workman.
An effort was made by the forces
or organized labor during the last
session Of congress to secure legisla-
ton to this end, but so effective
was the opposition of the great con-
tracing firms that adjournment was
had without any action upon the
pending bill, though the house COM
m1ttee on labor consumed many hours
in listening to powerful arguments on
either side Of the question.
Reverses Old Practice.
Heretofore it has been the practice
Of executive officers, when complaint
was made by labor unions that the
eight-hour law was being violated by
contractors building ships, construct
ing public buildings, engaged in river
and harbor works and other public
enterprises, to reply that 1t was not
their business; that the law was bind
ing upon the contractors, and that if
the labor unions felt aggrieved and
knew of violations Of the law they
should proceed themselves legally
against the offenders.
Must Report Violations
The labor unions asserted that it
was almost impossible for them to
secure the necessary evidence and
that they had not the money to en-.
gage in legal struggle with power
full moneyed interests. Under the
presidents direction every govern
ment officer in charge Of or inspect
ing public work in progress Is to be
directed to promtly report to the
department of Justice any violations
by contractors of the eight-hour law,
and prosecutions initiated by and al
the expense Of the government Is to
follow.
Cost Will Be Enhanced
The effect Of the order upon the
cost Of government work is expected
to be very great It is known that il
has been almost the rule for govern.
ment contractors to work their men
10 and II and even more hours pei
day. If they cannot do this they as
sert that they must increase by 20 OF
rs per cent. the amount Of their bids;
so that congress must either increase
by like percentage the appropriations
for public works or must correspond.
