The dullness Of pupils who are
bright enough to attend ruh%c schools
scientists have found is due in large
percentage of eases not 10 natural

of adenoids at tho base Of the nasal

The learned head of the great university of Massachusetts, is credited
with saying ~ rs 80
81 have not been able to see the expediency of paying women teachers
and men teachers in the public schools equal salaries The women are rs

women will get toe much or the men too little. 81
Il should suppose that the effect would be to diminish the nunper o.
men who would & into the service, and that it would also postpone ne
adoption of that most needed improvement in the public sehoos-tne redue-
lion OF the number of pupils placed in charge of one teacher.
1 believe it is said that more school teachers marry han women from any
other profession but that is no reason why the women who choose to make
teaching their life work should not have fair play If their work comes u p 70
the required standard and compares favoably with that Of the len IN the

President Eliot says women teachers do not want hfe jobs IN other words

the work should be made attractive when they are able TO gWe GOD serv-

Exploiting his views oil the anne subject, President Ira Rensen, of Johns
Hopkins University, says: "f the salaries of women teachers ire made equal
10 thoseo OF men,, the result will inevitably be a increase in the number of
women teachers and a decrease insthe men" III adds: 1T is believed by some
that it is better that boys should come more directly under the influence of
men teachers
Decidedly not. Mr.. Remsen. You have only to sound ten mothers of the
small boys who make up the school population to find out how the public
stands in this matter. .rF.
I'm willing o admit that men make the best teachers for boys in their last
years at high school and in college, but in the years when the chnds charac-
ter is being formed, no mn can ever take the place Of the woman in the
classroom.
