TIE SUMNER meeting of the Maryland State
Horticultural Society will be held at the James
town Exposition. Tuesday, September oath.
Arrangements have been made through the
departments Of special events to have this day
known as the Maryland Society's Day. All
horticulturists as well as general farmers in
the State should plan to attend this summer
meeting of the society, as members will never
have Q greater opportunity to show the i'm
poFtance and advertise this great industry of
the State. In addition, this date will be an
ideal time to visit the Exposition, with its |
many interesting and instructive phases, espe-
eially the State exhibits in horticulture and |
agriculture, as well as many other exhibits. |
Further, the date of the meeting is fixed to |
enable the members to attend the meetings |
and observe the large exhibit of the American
Pomoloeical Society, the Nut Growers Asso-
citation, and the Society for Horticultural
Science, which will be meeting at the EXPOSE
ton during that week. It is thought that
these are inducements that the members of the
association cannot afford to miss. For further

OVER 1900 teachers are employed by the
New York Board of Education in the elemen-
tary schools. The women out.number the
men about IA to 1. They are appointed to all
the grades, while the men are usually assigned
to classes above the fourth year. There is but
one man teaching in the first three years of
the course. There are 10, It's women in charge
OF classes in the first six years, while in the
higher grades there are 1911, making total
Of II 1856. The men number $40. A proper
ton Of male and female teachers like the above
prevails every place, and will SO long as low
salaries do not induce men to follow the teach
er's calling. In many ways all this is to be
regretted. Boys at least should be taught by
3 male teacher after they get out of the primary
grade. But one drawback to the employment
Of female teachers is that they do not form a
teaching force. The pretty school
marin is sure to get married, and should do so.
Not one female teacher in ten expects to in
struct for any length of time. This is true of
girls in any employment No woman will
ingly elects to stay in the bachelor girl''
class or, as the unmannerly say, the "old
maid" class. So the uncertainty of female
employment as to the time keeps down her
wages. This in turn affects the salaries of in
strnctors. The supply of teachers is always
greater in most places than the demand. and
This regulates pay.
