No Coal for
Light Plant.
It's Up to the Railroad Company.

The light company was COM
PEELED to shut down Sunday on &C
N'''Ef'- 9, lscE t cal and h S nr
y shed i.o lights This week, and
here is 10 immediate prospect of
getting coal ard being ready to
give light service. The lat car of
coal was furnished by the railroad
company, but a telegram from
Supt A. Beamer Thursday stated
that the No th-rn Pacific could not
furnish coal to Steam plants a, d
that they only had sufficient coal
to ope' ate their line. Last October
Mr.. Cochran closed contract with
Cascade Coal Co. for 1000 tons of
coal This is the company that
handles the Carbonate steam coal
and supplies the steam plants from
the mipes east to Spokane. The
company is ready and arxiors to
ship coal but the Northern Pacific
furnishes no cars. The manager
OF the company some days ago Sc.
cured the promise from the superin-
tendent that he would furnish box
cars for coal shipments. He wired
Cochran that he had the men on
the ground ready to load the cars
but none arrived, and it is doubtful
If any have been furnished and
loaded. Tue light company has
done everything it can do as firm
and frankly admits it cannot get
the coal. Mr.. Cochran suggests
hat if the Commercial Club, back
ed by the people of the communi y,
would bring pressure to bear on the
railroad officials coal would prob
ably be shipped for the plant.
Other steam plants are being sup
piled and are running. so that the
treatment the Kennewick company
is re, ewing is a gross disc,imin.

tual field OR profession Of teaching.
For the past five years the supply of
professionally equipped teachers for
our public schools has been growing
steadily less, while the demand for
such teachers has become more per
slstent. Teachers who lack either
general or special preparation for
their work will not be tolerated.
The time has passed, and happily so,
when anybody, that is everybody,
can teach school Both authorities
and parents have become more en-
llghtened, and are demanding higher
culture in the educators of their chill
dren. This demand necessitates
longer time, more strenuous labor,
and greater expense for those prepar-
ing to teach; but in the meantime
two things have happened-young
men and women all over our State
and country, attracted by the liberal
salaries paid to clerks, secretaries,
typewrlters and stenCgraphers, have
either declined to enter the teaching
profession or have abandoned it for
more remunerative positions; and
school authorities, throughout our
State at least, have been unable to
make the salaries of teachers COM
mensurate with either the ability de-
manded oithe responsibility imposed.
Our anomalous condition then is,
that here supply and demand have
not regulated price.
If we lower the standard of our
scholastic tests to secure legal GER
tihcate then we shall soon retrograde
to old levels, and again any body will
be able to keep school,"
Nothing is too goodin the training
Of children, and we firmly believe
that the advanced intelligence of our
people will never suffer return to
some of the old conditions; but we
must be frank enough to say, that if
the people demand better teachers,
better buildings, and better general
school equipment, they must face I'M
flinchingly the manifest conditions
of the intellectual and professional
market, by competing with the COM
mercial interests that are now rob-
bing us Of so much bright and
promising talent because Of higher
rewards for even less exacting prepa-
ration.
1t is now exceedingly difficult to
keep our schools supplied with
teachers, and more difficult still to
keep them under the direction and
guidance of earnest, vigorous,
masterful ones.
We should not go backw ward in the
quality of our demands, but we
ought, by the practice ofclear-sighted
business principles, to secure and
maintain in reponse to those de-
mands, supply of instructors rich
in all the virtues and graces of pro-
fessional culture and willing to give
the best they possess to the service
of a sympathetic, intelligent and ap-
preciative public.
