WHY TEACHERS ARE SCARCE

TFUTHSL- CIIy SUfIII1tIe1
There has been a fast growing de-
mand for years former and women
who can do things. Wherever they can
be found they are offered more IN
ducements to leave the schoolroom than
they are to remain in positions where
they are to remain in positions where
they are not paid what they are worth
as work and wages go. There is
certain law that works about as def
nitely as gravity This, more than
anything else, explains the scarcity of
teachers which the legislature of Iowa
is going to investigate. 1t is known
in advance what the finding will be,
at Least what it ought to be.

selling you such goods. The home
dealer would throw both hands in the
air and be so anxious to make 1t right
that he'd almost weep. He's got to
do it! He can't sell that sort of stuff

THE PROFESSIONAL.

The professional politician has the
faculty of getting a good deal of work
out of those who are appealed to thru
the plan of patriotism and party pride.
He is necessarily a good deal of a
hustler himself. and he delights in a
constituency that is happiest when
helping him save the country. Such a.

pustlc COMFORT STATIONS.

The city council OF Baltimore iseito
establish public comfort stations" and
Z one has already been provided for In
The lnost congested part of the city
These will be. places open to the public
where tired people may find a resting
place and the necessities of lavatory,
etc. Strangely enough some of the
business men are protesting against the
location of these public comfort sta
tions adjacent to their places OF bus
mess. A Baltimore paper relates that
there has been, in fact, not little diff
1 hculty in finding locations for STA
tons. 1t was first proposed to have
one at Hopkins Place, but the people
adjacent thereto objected to its pres
ence as und desirable. Other places We're
proposed, but the neighboring business
men came forward to protest. 1t has
been questioned whether a public need
TOR them exists. The Baltimore Sun
says:
The first point to settle is whether
there is really public demand for
them If there is, the city authorities,
In providing for them, must consider
not only the initial cost of erecting
them, but the cost of yearly mainten-
ance. Each station will need to be
looked after constantly, supplied freely
with disinfectants and kept in a scrup-
ulously clean and sanitary condition,
ssif 1T Is not to become nuisance and
a center for the spread of disease. This
implies a salary Of some hundreds
yearly for a keeper, with yearly bills
for plumbing, repairs, painting, etc,
Capitalized, such expenses may amount
to a. considerable sum. If in,peratively
needed the expense, of course, need not
be considered, but it will be we'll to
form all adequate idea of the probable
ultimate outlay and Of what the whole
project involves.
