Teacher and Child.

The teachers work is the most
wearing and taxing in the world. The
remuneration should cease to be mig
gardly inadequate. II 1t cannot be
made adequate TO service rendered It
should at least be fair and above the
standard OF the so-called living wage.
Sir William Ramsay criticized our
educational system a few years ago
because of the small salaries paid to
teachers in schools and professors In
colleges. Everything possible should
be done to make the office of teacher
attractive TO our best men and finest
women. II can never be hoped to make
the teachers post one of the worlds
prizes in money and material reward.
nor is IL necessary. But teaching
should not forever be the poorest paid
of the so-called professional callings-
Teaching must be made worth while,
and then we shall get what Ruskin
called our moneys worth in "ths
greatest possible number OF good and
brave men and women."-Stephen 8.

PROF. G. S. HUGHES SAYS
He HAS QUIT PHYSICAL "a "a
LABOR FOR GOOD

From Fridays Daily.
A Iong-haired and highly pic
turesque character rejoicing in the
cognomen of Professor George S.
Hughes" was taken into custody by
Police offcer Harry Stewart during
his rounds about town last night and
locked up in the city bastile on the
theory that he was a crook and needed
punishment The Professor" was
highly Indignant at his arrest and ac-
cepted lodgings In the calaboose with
a very poor grace. On being searched
a pair of ladies kid gloves and a pair
OF mems patent leather shoes were
found in his possession. fact suggest
ing the probability that he had been
engaged in a burglary.
Shortly after O'Clock this morning
Professor" Hughes was taken out of
his cell in the city Jail and put thru
a somewhat sev.rs sweating process
in which Marshal Houston and Sher-
IN Esser were the inlulsitors The
prisoner was very dignified and as
stoical as an Indian; refusing with
disdain to reply TO any OF the inter
rogatories until threatened with a jail
sentence when he relaxed and an
answered the questions meekly
enough. Subsequently he was taken
before Police Magistrate John w.
Rogers who adjudged the defendant
guilty OF vagrancy and gave him the
alternative of paying a fine of one
hundred dollars and costs. or leaving
town without delay. II is hardly nee
essary to state that the Professor"
accepted the latter horn of the d.
lemms and shook the dust OF the COM
munity from his trllbies.
He was permitted an opportunity to
address the court In his own defence;
a privilege that he eagerly accepted.
He said that he was an exponent of
the occult sciences and had long ago
quit all physical labor and would
never indulge in It again as It was
unbecoming In a man OF his intel
lectual attsinments. Labor was all
right, he said. for people who could
not get along without It, but in his
case 1t was different. In justice to the
Professor" 1t must be said that he Is
an educated man. although It is ap-
parent that there Is screw loose in

place OF residence, but was a cosmo-

FriIls and Fads in the Schools.

1t was about the limit of nerve when
the Raisin day boomers of California
wrote to the school authorities here
in the East suggesting a "Raisin day"
in the public schools, that the chill
drcn might be taught the nutritive
value of raisins as a food stuff. There
would be just as good reasons for
Beef day, an Orange day, Potato
day or a Peanut day, and the sug-
gestion simply emphasizes the cverdo-

aturc, a Flag day, a Mothers day, an
Arbor day, Flower day, Bird day and
others days too numerous to mention.
but constant attempts are being made
to lengthen the list. Moreover. all OF
them are in worthy causes and it is
difficult indeed to resist the appeal
but unless a stop it made somewhere
there will be scanty time for the

those elementary and useful things
for which old-fashioned people still be-
lieve our school system was estab-
lished.
One fad after another has crowded
it's way into the curriculum of the
lower grades, each earnestly urged by
well meaning people, until the school
program has already been diversified
to the point of disorder and confusion.
and even to the point of inetficiercy
in many instances. Some of these frills
are suggested by people with one IDEA
who are chiefly bent on advertising
themselves, but most of them. as we
have said, are honestly urged and we'll
meant. and for that reason, are all
the more difficult to reject. Once fas-
tened on. it is still harder to do away
with them. There are already far too
many frills and fads and days and the
sensible thing would be to shorten in
stead of lengthening the list.

as many people suppose, the only sec
tions of the earth's surface uncXplorcd
by man. There are vast tracts in the
interior of Africa and Asia which are
unknown and uncharted. although it is
possible that they have been visited or
even inhabited by men in earlier ages.
Or our own continent and in the trop-
ical part of it at that, there are vast
regions which give alluring promise
for the daring and determined explorer.
Professor Bingham of the Yale faculty
has just returned with an exploring
party from ChoQquequirau, believed to
be the lost city of the Incas, in Peru.
1t is the first recorded exploration of
the ancient city: it is claimed that I'M
til he went there no man had visited
the place for the last 400 years. At
any rate ii seems to be an interesting
place. TO get there required a weeks
hard travel from Cuzco. the ancient
capital of the lncan empire. Choqque-
Quirau lies at an elevation of about 13,
600 feet. DR.. Bingham believes that
the place was a fort built by the In
cas- to protect themselves against at
tacis of the Amazon Indians. He
found traces of Notifications, and ma
ny relics. The buildings are made not
of the finely wrought stone of the pal.
aces in Cuzco. but of roughly hewr
stone. ccmented together, and the in.

The Deposed Sultan.


call him at the time of the terrible
Armenian massacres, and now he has
become Abdul the Deposed, though it
is not to be inferred that the earlier
appellation is no longer fitting one.
1t Is the grim irony of history that his
place of Imprisonment when driven
from the throne was for time the
very palace in which Abdul himself
confined his predecessor "a years ago.
In that case, as in the present instance,
it was brother who succeeded brother,
for the Turkish succession is after this
fashion instead of from father to sons
as in most monarchies.
The first of the three brothers to oc-
cu2y the throne was Murad V and he
was deposed by his younger brother
Abdul Hamd in 1876 on the ground OF
insanity. That reason may or may not
have been a just one, but it served its
purpose as well as the lack Of politi-
cal knowledge" which is the chief
ground that the Young Turks have
given for pushing Abdul Hamid from
the throne. When that earlier success
sion occurred Abdul Hamid was "a
years of age and FOR third of a CEN
fury in spite of threats and menaces
and dangers, he has chung to life and
to his tronc and has showed himself
the most skilfu diplomatiSt in Europe,
battling the wisest statesmen of other
lands and presenting to the world a
queer blending of brains and super
stition, force and feebleness, courage
ard slippery guile. Nothing but the
concert of the European powers saved
him and his ancient capital from the
Russian army in the early days of his
reign, but i'll later years he built up
poa orful Turkish army which he first
tested successfully on little Greece and
later used for the Armenian massa-
cres only to have it turn and become
the means of his own undoing at last
The new sultan is an unknown guam
tty but after a generation of what has
been little more than Imprisonment
he can hardly, at the age of Go, prove
strong man upon the Turkish throne.
Moreover, like his predecessors, he is
in the absolute control of fanatical
religion which is in constant antag-
onsm to the forces of the civilized
world. The change may or may not
prove a good thing for Turkey. 1t de-
ponds wholly upon the use which the
progressive party, known as the Young
Turks, makes of it's victory. While
Abdul Hamid lives, even though he be
in Imprisonment. nobody can foretell
what will happen, for he is an astute
old rascal with vast wealth at his con-
troll and able to pull many wires.
