The New York Legislature passed
a bill to pay women school teachers
in New York city the same pay as
men. Ii has long been maintained
that for equal work there should be
equal pay. The lower rate of pay
for women teachers has. for better or
for worse, left American common
school education largely in the hands
of women, and tended to keep men
out of the profession.
A South Carolina man sent"used
or life on one conviction and
seven years on another thinks he
will get the better of the law by
serving out his life sentence and
cheating justice of the seven years.
But the astute officers of the law
have discovered how to balk that
attempt. They are going to make
him pay the full penalty by serving
the seven years first.
There has been wonderful growth
in the number of township high

they receive AN appropriation, the
lumber of schools are AS follows:
First grade, two; second grade
twenty-nine, and third grade, thirty
five; a total of seventy-siX.
For the school year ended June,
1907, the number of /, grade schools
is I3; second grade RI, and third
grade, 243, total of 300. The APP
preparation for the current year for
township high schools is SIS7 800, a
like amount being also appropriated
to borough high schools, The latter
is the first appropriation made by
the State for borough high schools.
