Not Enough Men Teachers

IN the lower public schools in cities ninety per
cent. of the boys finish the schooling which the
law requires without having had single male
teacher. SeventysiX per cent of all the schools of

great English public Schools Rugby, Eton. Harrow,
the boys taught entirely By men The results
speak for themselves. We lead the world in this

freight went into the siding to allow
the passenger train to pass. After
the passenger had gone hy the
freight came on to the main track
and passed the depot at rapid rate
of speed. Kelley sprang from the
platform and attempted to board the
train. He was thrown to the front,
