change your name as often as you like

NOT ALL HAPPY.

The Indiana Legislature, at its
last session, passed a law fixing
a minimum salary for teachers,
which was received with enthusi-
asm. But it contained a provision
which gave some of them uneasi-
ness, especially the teachers of
noncommissioned high schools.
That provision was that after
1908 nobody shall teach unless he
be a graduate of a commissioned
high school. This is not yet in
force, yet it is having its effect
nevertheless. Pupils who desire
to teach are quitting the noncom-
missioned high schools and going
into those graduation from which
will enable them to teach when
they have finished the course.
This unexpected result of
higher wages led some of the
teachers to think that the law
was unconstitutional. The title
of the act mentions only salaries,
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1907-10-16


but it deals also with qualifca-
tions. The Attorney General
was, therefore, asked to give an
opinion whether the law is valid
or not, and he decides that it is.
The teachers are thereby remind
ed that the object of higher sal
aries is to have better qualifica-
tions. Whether the law pre-
scribes the right way to &C
complish this may be a question,
but this is a matter within the
discretion of the Legislature.

you say, to expect a farmer to
pay for the privilege of hunting
on his own premises, but that is
not the way to look at it. The
other man pays for hunting and
you pay for protection. If you
never hunt, you would never
have to pay, and if you should
hunt you might not wish to con-
fine yourself to your own farm,
especially when the birds fly
over the fence.
A good Warden system would
give us the protection we need,
and ought to have. 1t would not
only protect our game and fish,
but would save us from the ne
gro rabbit hunter" the small
boy with his rifle, who is a men
ace to every living thing, not ex-
cepting himself, and all the
other trespassers, that are get
ting more troublesome every
year. To protect the birds, es-
pecially the song and other in
sectivorous birds, is, as we all
know, a very important matter
to the farming interests of the
country.
Around about Winchester, we
are talking it with a view of
arousing each other on the sub
ject; and, as the best means of
getting up enthusiasm, we are
joining the League of American
Sportsmen ($1.OO Annual mem
bership.) an organization that
makes the protection and prop
agation of birds fishes its chief
aim. By the time our next Leg
islature meets, we hope that our
representatives will have caught
the spirit, and enact for US, a
good Warden law.

SHARING THE BURDEN .

One very serious mistake men
make is the failure to enlist the
interests and sympathies of the
wife and mother in their under
takings. We are repeatedly as
sured that without the wife's CO.
operation, the husbands success
is an uphill business; but many
men pride themselves on keeping
their business affairs, their plans,
hopes and fears from the knowl-
edge of their wives. They say,
contemptuously, that it is none
of their business; that a wom-
ans business is in the house. In
thousands of instances, the
gray mare is the better horse"
and a woman's advice in business
matters is often but the feather
that turns the scale toward sue
cess. To women is given, far
more than to man, the faculty
for saving for the storing up
of surplus and providing for the
future. This comes with her
mother-love, and even though
she may not have children, the
faculty, dormant, perhaps, is
there. Instinctively, she stores
for her posterity. 1t is the pro-
vince of the father to earn, to
fight the battles; TO bring in the
spoils. But the mother is the
natural steward. In her devo-
ton to her young, the mother
eyes look far afeld, and often
her directions point out the most
fruitful fields, or warn against
the arid plains. If her eyes are
kest blinded, no outlook or exer-
else of her faculties allowed her,
the power diminishes and dwarfs
and then she looks only at what
is near at hand. Selfishness for
her young predominates. The
store is there-she need not stint
them, of herself, there will be
more. Then men cry out that
she is extravagant; that she
takes no interest in their strug-
giles. How can she when her
eyes are blinded by ignorance :
when she is encouraged to see no
furthur than the daily dinner?
1t is true that most of women
know little of business methods;
=
that we are prone to make bad
bargains, and to lose the little
we have. Why? Is it not that
we are the offs prin g of
generations of mothers whose
eyes have been shielded from
the light? Whose minds have
been kept inactive? If given the
opportunity, women, as thous-
ands are now proving, learn
readily, and under the spur of
necessity, dev elop wonderful
abilities. Women often accumu-
late wealth under the same con-
ditions where the normal man
fails. Why?
