Public School Crisis.
Boston Transcript.

DOSIon Transcript
A crisis in our public school system ia
coming before long, says one of our
veteran educators, and for this reason.
nobody stays in the public school SER
vice longer than to find some position
with better assured future. The aver
age term of service of the public school
teachers in our cities is less than four
years; In rural districts less than three
wears; and no teacher becomes really
valuable in given service in less than
i've years. These are the figures Of an
expert In Chelsea, for example. the
maximum of salary for women teachers
is reached in seven years. service; but
the start is made at $500 and the maxi
mum Is 500. Women of gumption pre-
fer to seek some occupation where thew
may reach a higher salary with less
than that number of years prepare
tion.
mere Is no estimating how much the
schools lose by the frequent changing
OF teachers, which is the rule in citv
and country alike. The prime CAUSE of
ene restlessness of the public school
teaching force is the absence of secu-
rlty OF tenure, and of provision for the
time OF approximation. The strongest
teaching should be found in grammar
and lower grade schools-not in the high
schools alone, for the great mass of
children do not reach the high school.
Inc nation cannot afford to have any
thing less than the best teaching ability
In the schools for the great majority if
1t hopes to continue an enlightened self
government.

Surely in their zeal for the honor and

dent Cleveland's ''old fat RIBS and his
not infrequent references, while COVER
nor OF South Carolina, to the bauboozle-
ment and debauching OF the legislature
OF that sovereign State. From Senator
Baiiey's mind must have slipped, slip
perously and olesginously, all recollec-
ton of some comparatively recent expe-
riences Of his with the Standard Oil
Company.
Now IL we can hear from Speaker

these are some Of the wicked pro-
visions of the Virginia Constitution. and
no more damnable scheme was ever de-
vised to rob men of their suffrage.

not be as wicked. If it is, its authors
are as deserving of opprobium as are
those who fastened the infamy on Viz

the POLL TAX NUISANCE.

There is no question about there being
terrible revolt among the people of
Virginia against the poll tax qualifica-
ton for voting. Nearly ali the Demo-
cratic newspapers are calling for re-
peal of the law or its material reforma-
ton. Only few are insisting that it
be retained in its present obnoxious
form. Among these are the Norfolk
Virginian-Pilot, whose editor was a
member Of the Constitutional Conven-
ton and helped to make the hateful
thing. The Virginian- Pilot has been
delighted to score a point against one
Of its Norfolk contemporaries, because
the latter asserted that in North Caro-
lima there was no poll tax qualification
for voting, and thus accounting for the
much larger white vote polled in the
North State than in Virginia. There
happens to be a poll tax qualification
for voting in North Carolina, and the
Virginian-Pilot gleefully remarks to its
contemporary as follows:
1T is far cry from the fiat denial
that North Carolina had a poll tax quail
ification to ingenious enlargement on
the differences between the Virginia
law and the poll tax prerequisite which
North Carolina has"
Previously the Virginian-Pilot. in

folk Landmark, had said:

OF years ago, when his strength in

national campaign. He addressed a
considerable audience one day in a
small town, but was frequently inter

THE GREAT NATAL DAY.

Christmas is the day on which the
nativity of the Savior of the world is
observed 1t came when the heavenly
choirs in Judesn skies ushered his birth
into the world, nearly two thousand
years ago, with songs Of gladness and
by proclaiming: Peace on earth.
good will toward men," Traces Of the
observation of this holy day can be
carried back to the years $50 go, A. D..
when the Emperor Commodus was rul-
ing the then known world.
Among the early Christians there
was no uniformity in period for observ-
ing Christmas, some celebrating it in
May or April and some in December.
Biblical scholars, however, agree that
the 18th Of December cannot be the
day on which Jesus was born. because
the character Of the seasons in Judea
at that time Of the year preclude the
idea that the shepherds were watching
their fiocks by night on the plains. 1t
Is generally believed that the adoption
OF the 18th Of December as the natal
day of the Savior is traceable to the
great yule feast Of the Celts and Ger
mans. From the most ancient times
the Celts and Germans celebrated the
season of the winter-solstice with the
greatest festivities. At the winter
solstice the Germans held their great
yule feast In commemoratiOn of the re-
turn of the firery sun-wheel; and they
believed that, during this period, from
the 18th of December to the 9Th of
January, they could trace the personal
movements of their great deities, Odin
and Berchta.
Nearly two thousand years ago angels
made the proclamation: peace on
earth, good will toward men," And
how have men needed the proclamation?
During these past two thousand years
the world has been broad stage where
on has been seen almost continued
strife among men, intense racial and
national conflicts, and the same with in
dividuals. When are these to cease
and when will that great peace be ush-
cred in? They say the world is grow
ing better and we believe it is. But
does this come from principle or policy?
Are nations becoming more reluctant
TO go to war with each other because of
genuine love, founded upon the brother
hood of man, or are they actuated by
dread of the results that may come
from conflicts conducted with the dread
full engines of modern warfare? But
Christmas is here again, and let us all
enjoy and celebrate it in decent, rev.
erent manner. Not with loud noises
and beastly indulgence, but in an hon
est effort to secure our own happiness
by contributing to the happiness of
others.

THEY ARE SHOCKED.

Some of the Democrats in Virginia
are greatly shocked and deeply humili-
ated by what the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch calls: The Democratic Demand
for Protection" This is occasioned nv
the recent efforts of Democrats from
Danville to secure a high protective
tariff on certain kinds of tobacco. and
OF others from the Second Congressional
District to have high protective duty
placed upon peanuts.
According to the Times-Dispatcb
nearly all the Democratic newspapers in
the State have given their support to
this demand from Virginia for protec-
ton to its products. And the Times
Dispatch thus constructs the movement:
These say not simply that Virgin
lans, as individuals and citizens. have a
perfect right to get all the protective
favors they can, for that has not been a
subject of dispute-but that it is sound
policy for official Democrats. such as
congressman and Senators, and what
may be called semi-official Democrats
such as Democratic newspapers, to sup
port, aid and abet them in their de-
mands."
Our Richmond contemporary seems
alarmed at this inconsistent stand of the
Virginia Democracy on the question of
protection, and puts some very interest
ing questions to the Democratic news
papers and citizens who are engaged
In the protection movement. From
those questions of the Times Dispatch
we quote the following:
"U Suppose that the Virginia to-
bacco growers succeed in getting the
import duty on light cutter tobacco
raised from IS cents a pound to 81. IS a |
pound, as they desire, and the virginia
peanut growers succeed in getting the
300 per cent. increase on import nuts.
which they desire.
"(O Suppose that this added pro-
lection proves even more beneficial to |
them than they have anticipated, and
that the next four years is period of
unprecedented prosperity with them.
"(3) Suppose that in the next ma
tional campaign the Democratic party
declares more emphatically than ever
for thoroughgoing revision of the tar
if, while the Republican party reiter-
ates its belief in the protective theory.
and announces its determination to let
the schedules remain in statu quo.
20 Under these conditions, would
the Virginia tobacco and peanut grow
ers be more likely to support the Demo
;ratic platform or the Republican plat
form?
"(5) Finally, as sort of corollarv.
8 1t the sober opinion of our State con-
'emporaries that policy which tends
strongly to convert Democrats into Re-
oubllcans is sound Democratic policy.
and one that appropriately commands
he support Of Democratic Congress-
men and Democratic newspapers?"
These questions, if they correctly
tate the position of the Virginia De-
nocracy, disclose the fact that hereto 4,
ore they have been influenced by policy t
ather than principle on the tariff as I
'ell as other national questions. Many t
no believed in the protective principle IL
the Republican party have voted for
'e Democratic doctrine of free trade. or
