THE Two PANIcs.

A comparison between the panic OF
1907 and that Of 1893 brings Into prom
inence several circumstances which
make the predictions OF speedy
recoveory seem we'll founded. one Is
this. that there was no distrust OF
the soundness of the monetary stan
dard of the country last year. and
there is none now. Another Is this
that there is large surplus in the
treasury, and still another that the
agricultural population of the country.
instead of being as It was in 1893
IN distress and debt and grooming
over the low price Of products, is in
a state of prosperity.
Another feature noticed is this, that
the lowest prices of stocks last year
We're far above the lowest point In
1898 Here are few figures given
by an eastern exchange that may
serve as an illustration of the general
conditions during the two panic years:

The sh1nkaSe in the immigration
business is almost phenomenal. One OF
the large liners just arrived ut New
York brought only 43 Storage passen-
gers as against a thousand or more
common to 1t for the season. Another
ship. one OF the italian line, brings 1870
aliens in the Storage against over 1000
for this time a year ago. Still another
arrives with only 26l In the steerage
against some $500 on the average voy-
age OF year ago. The thousands that
left this country last year must have
been describing the conditions here as
a good deal worse than they are.

ADJUSTMENTS.

According to Rev Dr. John l.. Scud-
der OF Jersey City, ''The church of the
future Will be an ecclesiastical depart
ment store" The gentleman is said TO
have made that interesting observation
In an address before the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church IN New York. 1T will
supply practically all the needs OF
man. he said. Dr. Scudder's church,
the Jersey City First Congregational,
II is said runs the Peoples Palace,
with bowling alleys, billiards, dances,
card parties. DIR. Scudder thinks "our
business Is to say, Drop these amuse-
ments, Mr.. SATAN they belong to us. e
Life" he says, SIS not funeral
procession, and there is no reason why
the face OF a Christian should be as
long as that of horse"
The underlying thought OF this
statement Is 1t seems to us, all right
Why should not anusements be under
auspices of people Identified with
churches? There WAS II time when all
kinds of amusements were denounced
as worldly. The churches imbued with
puritanism, or pietism, fought even tins
most innocent amusements with fanat-
zeal zeal. This has changed owing
In large measure to the healthful, ras
tional view OF life presented to the
world by the Prophet Joseph and the
Iatter-day Saints, 1t is now admitted
that ainusements are necessary, ana
that those of an innoGent character are
beneficial Why should they not be
conducted under the auspices OF people
Interested In the spiritual welfare of
their fellow-men, instead OF by those
whose only interests are financial?
The drama, we believe. was at one
time utilized by the church as n medl-
UNI through which important lessons
were taught. The arts were used as
means of drawing man nearer to God
And why not? Is there any music
that can compare In sweetness. In
grandeur, IN soul-insplring power, to
the sacred music? Painting, sculpture,
architecture-all reach their highest
perfection IN the service OF religion. IL
is the same With amusements. They
are empty wearying, soul-destroying
unless the spirit OF God can DO with
those who partake in them.
But for all that, the announcement
that the church of the future viii be-
come department store sounds
strange. The author OF the travels OF

NOT ENOUGH TEACHERS.

The scarcity of teachers IN this state,
spoken OF In this paper last, appears TO
be general throughout the East also.
Newspapers published in various large
cities reveal everywhere the same
steady search for teachers.
Is the school now "A place of so lit
tie attractiveness and remuneration

are kept busy all the time filling the
vacancies, and are often forced to take
away any one who comes along In or
der to prevent the misfortune Of hav-
Ing rooms unsupplied with teachers at
the opening of the term.
No doubt the difficulty is partly an
economic one. The salaries paid for
teaching are not commensurate with
those possible in other lines of work.
This is particularly true in the case of
men. The tenure is more or less uncer-
tain, with more of dependence upon
the whims Of superintendent or member
of school board than many people en-
oy The service is wearing, notably
where teaching is associated with disci-
pline. Promotion is not rapid as a
rule. and the limits even of rapid adj
yancement are soon reached. All these
things combine to make the teaching
profession comparatively unattractive.
One measure of relief in this state
Is contemplated by the superintendent
of public instruction. The law says
that temporary certificates 10 teachers
shall not be renewed. Many are teach
ing this year on these permits. II they
are to b. barred next year, many
schools must be closed for a time. |
What can be done?
The superintendent hopes TO get all |
such teachers to take the necessary
summer course at the University to en-
title them to their state diplomas. Those |
who cannot do all the work required |
for their credentials may, upon the rec
ord of their work done in the summer |
school. be allowed another summer or |
more In which 10 complete their work. |
Meanwhile their temporary certificates
will be extended by the State Board.
IN this way It may be possible to
bridge over what appears TO be a SER
Gus difficulty. But should the same
conditions recur year after year, the
,roblem will have to be grappled with
