THE SHORTAGE IN TEACHERS

tHE SHORTAGE IN TEACHERS.
State Superintendent Riggs has is
sued a pamphlet giving the results &C
complished in n year under the uni
form county certificate law. 1t is a de-
Tense CT the new law and an answer
10 the critics who claim that the rigid
character of the examinations Is re-
sponsible for the shortage in teachers.
MI. Riggs sets forth the claim that
the examinations as conducted Mt
present are not more rigid than those
that obtained before the law went into
effect. The county superintendent.
too, do not ascribe the shortage Of
teachers to the new certificate law.
Practically all of them place the ques,
ton of low wages as the chief reason
why more competent persons are not
attracted to and held in the profession
Of teaching.
In order to place the matter before
them, Mr.. Riggs asked this question
Of the county superintendent:
Why. in your opinion. is there diff
Guilty in securing an adequate supply
of competent teachers?"
In the circular he states that coun-
ty superintendent very generally
gave the following reasons:
1. The better salaries offered in
occupations that give employment for
the full year and that require less
time and expense in preparation.
2. The general prosperity of the
country and easy circumstances of
farmers and others, relieving young
women from the necessity Of earning
their own way.
8. The better salaries offered the
teachers in the western states.
4. Low estimate placed upon tire
value of education by the people.
s. Increased opportunities for en-
ployment. many more doors Of oppor-
tunity opening before young men and
young women than formerly.
This raises the old question Of
teachers salaries, which was respon-
sible for closing schools before the
new law went into effect. Superintend-
ent Riggs shows from the reports OF
county superintendent that So per
cent of the schools Of the state are
paying teachers higher wages than
last year, the increase averaging SIS a
month, but he asserts that the increase
has not kept pace with salary in
creases in other lines of work.
AS to the new law, Mr.. Riggs as
serts that it has proven its usefulness,
but it will require considerable time
to demonstrate it's great value in up
lifting standards and in advancing the
cause Of popular education.

Seeking Mica

For years miners and mining ex- perts have been searching the hills of Arizona for mica, but up to date little of commercial value has been dis covered.

The two former are experts in search of mica posits, the latter apracticsl Arizona miner, who Is remarkably we'll versed in minerology, and partic- ularly so with reference to mica.
 Experts have contended for years that the mountains of Arizona have been too much disturbed by uphesv. als to contain mica of commercial value, but Mr Orr, who has had years of experience in working mica mine: and who is very familiar with it: characteristics, thinks differently.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness and thst is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is noth- ing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by cstarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir. culsrs free.

Old Natures
 Latest Stunt

There has been a great deal of quiet
 excitement among mining men over
 the discovery at Tortilla Flats, Ari-
 zona, of supposed "brass" mine. Brass mines have for long time been regarded ss jokes to be worked oil on the extremely ignorant who do not know that brass is not 6 natural, but s manufactured article. Yet brass deposits have beeni found, not very frequently, of course, but still they have been found. Dana, the geolo- gist, mentions several discoveries of this kind, one of them in the Cat alina mountains of Pima county. Be- fore the art of making brass was dis. covered the ancients used & metal called orichalcum or natural brass.
 Natural brass is, after ell, no more chemical wonder than natural copper Tine latter is result of smeiting by nature, while the former is the result of the smelting of two kinds of ore at the same place, copper and zinc, and Iusing their products.
 The discovery is therefore of only scientific interest. Nature has been taught doing one of those things she seldom does.

The Eucalyptus are natives of Australia, but have flourished in the southwest ern part of the United States, and especially in California.
