Scarcity of Competent Teachers q

tina at least one-half of the colored teach
ers of Virginia are unlicensed emergency
teachers. This condition has made a very
unfavorable impression upon the board of
examiners. reports the Southern Work
man. Some are advocating separate exam
nations and lower grade certificates to les
sen the clerical work Of the examiners and
at the same time secure more licensed col
ored teachers. No serious distinction has

ored teachers as to certificates; but we
predict that unless there are signs of i'm
provement such a course will be taken I'm
the near future.
What obtains in Virginia ESQ holds
throughout the south, in many cases to an
even more deplorable extent. The educa-
ton OF the colored people in the south has
not kept pace with that of the white peo-
Pile. The lines Of divergence are widening
more and more. An absolutely double sys-
tenn in every way is likely to be adopted.
unless steps are taken to properly prepare
more colored teachers. The day has come
when the colored people themselves must
begin to shoulder their burdens and plan
for their own educational betterment In
the public schools; but they can do little
unless public sentiment in the states awak-
ems TO the fact that even the five grades
now taught I'm the majority of the colored
schools cannot be maintained unless teach
ers can be prepared to teach them. The
supply OF teachers for rural schools in other
parts OF the country comes largely from
the high schools. Better equipped primary
schools and more high schools with normal
training classes for colored pupils would
go far toward removing the present diff

HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP PRIZE
Joint Certificate Issued by Nebraska
Association of CoTIeges-DoinEs
in Educational Field Here
and elsewhere.

Hereafter the Nebraska university will
not have to go TO the legislature TO get
that body to appropriate the money given
by the general government to the institu-
ton. Under a recent decision OF the SUI
preme court It was held that this money
should be available for the use of the
school upon its receipt by the state treas
urer, without waiting for any action on
the part OF the legislature.
Heretofore the money from the general
government has been appropriated by the
state before It could be taken out of the
treasury by the regents.
Judge w. B. Rose filed a vigorous dis
sentlng opinion In the case, holding that
ury unless it had been appropriated by the
legislature in accordance with the pro-
visions Of the constitution. but the other
judges. Chief Justice Reese taking no part,
opposed the decision Of Judge Rose.
As a result of this decision 1t will not
be necessary for the regents tn explain to
the legislature just how much money they
get from the government. and It Is be-
lieved this will not tend to make legisla-
lures more liberal with the school,.
Several member of the late legislature
expressed themselves in favor Of a direct
appropriation for the university instead of
the l-mill levy. and it is very probable
an effort will be made during the next two
years to make this quite an issue. This
would enable the people to know exactly
how much money the school has at its
disposal.

The Nebraska Association of Colleges,
consisting of Bellevue. Cotner. Doane.
Grand Island. Hs stings Nebraska Yves eyan
and York, continues to send out a Joint
certificate CT scholarship to all high schools
on the accredited list OF the University Of
Nebraska. This certificate allows "a reduc-
ton of SIS a year for each of four years on
tuition during residence and pursuit of the
regular college or academy courses of
study" 1t is given only to the student
taking highest rank in scholarship at gradu-
alton. 1t allows the holder to pursue a
continuous and complete course in any OF
the institutions named or to attend any one
Of them for a year at a time. 1t is good
for five years, but must be presented at
the beginning OF the first or second college
year after graduation. 1t is not transfer
able and cannot be useC to pay tuition In
a business or a normal course, OF music,
elocution or fine arts. Such a scholarship
bears witness to the good fellowship exist
ing among these seven Nebraska institu-
lions and is a bright connecting link be-
tween high school and college. 1t ought to
stimulate a host of high school students to
do their best in the local school and then
to push on to something higher. In many
ways Il Is worth more than the 500 written
across its face. d. B. PERRY.

unity holding together Indians of every

Popular education like that in
America is row our ideal. We know
that your civilization has its faults. We
are Mortified at the rush and hustle
and ervou strain, but We desire
progress in every legitimate way. We
do feel, however, that it is inconsistent
to force Christianity upon a harmless
and deeply spiritual people at the point
of a bayonet, and We believe that We
can work out our modern problems our
selves, as has Japan, from within.
INC one conceives how we are perse-
cuted. l could not return to India, I
am sure. Only recently two cultivated
men were arrested and deported with
out trial for speaking the truth about
our country's condition. Now they are
locked up in Burma. Talk about Siberia
and it's injustices! The most hopeful
thing is the enthusiasm that is spread
ing over our entire people. Starved and

JERSEY FIRMS PENSION SYSTEM.

TRENTON, Feb. 1.-The Trenton Iron
Company has inaugurated a pension
department for the benefit of those who
have been long in its service. Every
employee attaining the age of %
years, who has been in the employ
of the company for upward of
ten years, is entitled To a pension. Men
upon reaching the age of 60 will be, by
virtue of that fact, dropped from the
active pay roll of the compan and
placed upon the pension list, and If
an employee is physically incapacitatcd
for further work after reaching the
age of 80 he ma also be retired upon
a pension. provided also that he has
worked continuously for the company
for ten years Immediately prior to the
date of his retirement.
