AMBITIOUS EDUCATORS

OF the amount of money annually
expended by the people of Califor-
" MIA for the maintenance of the
public schools approximating $10,OO0,-
900, $6,0000o0 are paid to teachers. This
is one of the interesting showings con-
tanned in recent bulletin issued by
the state superintendent of public in
struction. When 1t is known that this
is an average of about $3.50 per capita
of population and that the general
average for the United States is but a
little better than half this rate, Cali
fornians may be excused for rendering
to themselves congratulations over the
fact that they are able ia provide the
means through which the maintenance
of the high standard of education in
this state is possible.
The state superintendent makes pub
lie an array of facts and statistics which
in many other details should prove
the source of much qualification to the
inhabitants of the state. For instance,
the average salaries paid to instructors
in the primary and grammar schools
are about $500 per year. In the high
schools of the cities and larger towns
salaries range from $500 to $500, aver
aging about $3.50. Inasmuch as the
monthly charge for living ranges from
SIS to $50, the average being approx
mately S24, the California school teacher
is not nearly so badly off as she might
be if she lived and labored in some
state where her capabilities and peda-
gogic effort were accorded smaller
pecuniary appreciation.
The character of the schools of any
state or other community is an almost
| infallible index of the status of civiliza-
tion attained by such community. Cal
| ifornia has nothing to be ashamed of in
this respect, but on the other hand she
has much to justify the pride which
her people take in their splendid edu-
cational system.
| Los Angeles, in particular, has at
tanned an enviable position among
American cities, when viewed as an
educational center, in spite of the fact
that the progress of our city schools has
been slightly hampered by an occa-
sional condition of unpreparedness. due
to the marvellous expansion of the city,
the unprecedented and in some in
stances wholly unanticipated influx Of
families having upset the most care
fully laid plans of the school authori-
| ties.
| Fortunately for Los Angeles, how
ever, the completion of new school
buildings, the increase in the capacity
and the improvement in the facilities of
some of the old ones, the engagement
of many new teachers at salaries which
insure eff1ciency-all these things fur
nish testimony to that splendid spirit
of educational progress which has
branded this city as one of the most de-
sirable places of rNidence in the United
States.
| Los Angeles will not be content even
when she realizes that she has estab-
lished the most nearly perfect educa-
tional system on the coast. She will
aim to attain to a class in which she
| will stand alone.

the habit of being somewhat common

champions of verbal disingenuousness
as the author of this remarkable story

Prosperity and Culture.

A splendid criterion to the pros
perity of Wenatchee is evidenced by
the number of pianos sold here dur
ing the past month by Duncan and
Graves. 1t is also gratifying to note
that the demand is for high grade
instruments and although this firm
extends the privilege of purchasing
on the easy payment plan their bust
ness has averaged 80 per cent cash.
This is naturally an important fac
tor in enabling them to sell at close
prices, which in turn attracts the
shrewd buyer, while their agencies
include such pianos as the Chicken
ing, Kimball, Peace, Hobart N. Ca
BILE. and other noted makers. repre-
senting the worlds best products.
Better see Duncan & Graves now
about a piano while they are making
these attractive prices. and save
enough on your purchase to educate
the family in music.

be true. but 1t Is scarcely credible.
It is not probable that the Great
Northern will build an expensive
mountain road several indies long
solely for a few months tourist
business each year, or that large
sums of money will be expended in
building up a resort on small body
of water like Lake Wenatchee, when
but a few more miles of road, built
practically on water level. not only
would land the company's tourists on
Lake Chelan but would at the same
time tap section of country afford
ing a heavy freight and passenger
traffic the year round. Lake Wenat-
chez is fine body Of water, and its
surroundings are superb; that is true
of nearly all mountain lakes. But
for the purpose of tourist resort it
has no advantages which Lake Che
Ian does not have. and lacks many of
the attractions which this magnificent
body of water affords.-Chelan
