B|G SHORTAGE
 0F TEACHERS And the Cause for It Dis cussed by Prof. McNeill of Memphis at N. E. A. Meeting.
PATRIOTIC WORDS
And Sound Adyice-Ameircan People Should Realize tine Importance of Educational Service and Pay for It.

Among the papers read before the Council of Education of the Ma tion Educational Association, at Los Angeles, Cal, was one by Prof. l. c. McNeill, the superinten dant of schools of Memphis, Tenn, his subject being 'The shortage of Teachers. D Prof McNeil's paper was as follows:
 That there is shortage ot teachers is a fact that needs but to be mentioned. It is the experience of school executives in all sections of this country that there are not enough good teachers available to meet the demands for them. In every system of public education the problem of eliminating weak teachers is met by another very serious question: Where can boards of education secure well trained, thoroughly equipped persons, with the graces of character and cxecu- tive qualities the service of educa tion demands, 10 take the place of the negative, inefficient or poorly trained who should be excused from the service? Ecno answers where"
 The honoT3ble president of this council nas felt the need of ! stuly of the question of the shortage of teachers, and so have other mem bers of this body, who occupy exc cutive position in the admnistra- tion of school affairs. President Brown has asked me 10 prepare a short paper to present the question to you, that steps might he taken, l am inclined to thlaN. to bring about comprehensive .trdy uf a topic of such vital interest to the life of .the nation..

 Why Profession is Unattractivc.
 .aThe profession of teachers is not attractive to many men, who know too we'll that the schoolmaster :s not generally held in high esteem in a worldly sense by busiess men. He views the question in the school masters narrow way, is said so often that many capable yonng student wishing to be thought a per son of affairs and a man among men turns away and seeks equipment, which has come down as persis tant element from the Greek philo- sophy that we grow to be like things with which we are brought in sympathetic contact makes it's appeal and turns the ambitious young man away from profession that compels the closest association with the immatur1ty of childhood.
 'The American people are thor oughly aroused on the scholastic and professional training the teach CT, regardless of sex, should have. The interest of the home is the most vital one. No teacher with all the graces of a personality which at tracts and charms, with a college training that opens D1d disposes Che mind to an appreciation of the necessary relation of things, and in Sympathetic communion with the large problems of ethical conduct, is held to be fit tU teach, unless he or she is able to stimulate guide and control boys and girls so that they will like school and put forth

They hold their places in the social life of the community and very of- ten I've at nome. Their splendid womahhood makes it's appeal to the good sense and affections of single men. The story is too we'll known to be .0iu here Splendid teachers, noble and beautiful women often naturally lay aside the work of the schoolroom to grace home and as suIhe the duties Of wifehood.
 "Other considerations I regard to admit, are far reaching ln causing a shortage of real teachers.

WAS HE MAD,


In commenting upon the report that
President Roosevelt had repeatedly
requested Chairman ,Cortelyou and
Treasurer Bliss to return the $14S,000
secured from insurance companies for
the Republican campaign fund in 1904,
and they had stubbornly refused to 10
so, the Troy Press said: THE natural
inference is that the president was not
MORALLY offended by the refusal, else
he would not have promoted Cortel-
YOU" The New York World had an in
terview with Judge Parker upon the
subject. and he makes the same point,
namely:
IF Chairman Cortelyou in his inter-
view with the president before the lat
ter's famous denial deceived the presi-
dent about the corporation contribu-
tons, why has he honored him by a
seat in his cabinet? Why does he con-
fde in him and trust him?"
President Roosevelt was in a posi-
ton either to compel Chairman Cortel-
you to comply with his request or ex-
clude him from the cabinet. He has
done neither. Consequently, if Cortel-
you transgressed the principles of hon.
esty in amassing an enormous CAM
paign fund to elect Roosevelt, clearly
the latter has condoned the offense. In
view of the Administrations remorse-
less attacks upon corporations, this is
very embarrassing. Few things have
been shown to be worse on the part OF
the so-called trusts than rObbing poll
cy holders and stockholders to swell
partisan corruption funds. Here, again,
Judge Parker makes a strong point,
referring to the statement that the
presidents request related simply to
insurance donations:
"Or does he or they mean that policy
holders money is different from stock
holders money; that it was legitimate
for the big business corporations to
take the money out Of their treasures
to elect the Republican ticket, but lille
climate for insurance corporations to
do the same thing?"
1t is an insult to our institutions to
contend that aside from the legal ma
chinery provided and paid for by the
state millions are required to elect
president. Such swollen fund, no
matter by what party collected, can
signify but one thing:
Corruption.
Meanwhile, we fear that Judge Par
ker's questions will not succeed in
evoking replies from the White House.
As a candidate, Mr.. Roosevelt ex-
pressed the greatest indignation at
Judge Parker's exposure of the char
acter and magnitude of the Republican
campaign fund, and wrote letter de-
nying the accusations in his most Wig
orous style.
But subsequent events have vindicat-
ed Judge Parker and condemned Cor
telyou, whom the president has pro-
NOTED from the postmaster generalship
to the great Office of secretary of the
treasury.
And ever the right comes uppermost,
And ever is justice done.''

The official report about the death
of General Paroles is that he had
been captured and was killed as the
result of an attempt to escape. The
private report is that, after being cap
tured. he was taken to the plaza of
the town and shot like dog. An
official report under the Castro regime
is not evidence as to the fact, but
merely shows what it is desired that
the world outside of Venezuela shall
believe. Castro, by the way, is get
ting better every officially. If
he could get hold of Ell Mocho and
shoot him, Castro would probably be
a we'll man.

ney. Six cars were derailed, all of

CAR BUILDERS ARE RUSHED.
The Southern Pacific's Order for LOO
Cars Is Overdue,

The LOO freight cars ordered by the
Hartman system for use upon it's lines
in Louisiana and Texas will not be de-
livered for several months yet. Such
was the notification received a few
days ago by one of the officials in this
city from the car factory. The delay
in delivery is due to the inability of
the car builders to secure steel and
other materials and to the crowded
conditions of their shops. The deliv-
cry of these cars to the Hartman lines
will be made commencing in May.
This order for freight cars was
placed with the car manufacturers ear
ly last year and the delivery of them
was to have been made commencing in
January of this year.
