pleased to call it. grace, beauty, gen

many people on the matter. The efIi-

To Pay Women Teachers More.

The New York State Senate has pass
ed the teachers salary bill. the object
of which is to give the women the same
salaries as the men in New York City
schools. 1t is based upon the principle
that the position should determine the
salaries. and not the sex, but gives the
city board of education discretionary
powers so as not to violate the home-rule
principle. 1t provides for a minimum
salary of S720. with fixed annual in
creases equal for both sexes.

To look into mirror is a test of

only what they wish to find there, while
doleful, uneasy persons discover de-
