AGENTS OF PROGRESS.

IT HE annual convention OF the State FEEDER

brought together a numberof progressive women
OF Delaware who are distinctive force for the
betterment of life in our state. These gather

are more than that. They are evidences of the
keen interest felt by the women in the welfare Of
the State
AT these meetings women from New Castle
and Kent and Sussex get together They ex-
change views and help to weld all three counties
into one. They discuss matters for the material
and moral improvement of Delaware. They arc
greatly interested in the civic welfare of the cit

After all it is the women that give the impetus
TO social progress. In their ideas they are in ad-

they DO not vote they exert a marked influence

LOW PAY OF EDUCATORS.

TAT ILMINGTON teachers are not the only
w persons employed in the education of
the youth who have cause to complain. A writ
er in one of the educational papers recently had an
article on some trends in higher education and
he held that one OF the tendencies was towards
lower income of the college instructors. By hg-
ures he shows that the purchasing power OF the
wages of the instructors IS only between 90 and
20 per cent of what it was twenty years
ago In other words all things considered, the
instructors in the colleges receive less for their
services than they did twenty years ago.
No wonder this condition is cause for COM
ment and especially so when the salaries re-
ceved by the instructors in the large unversi-
ties and colleges are considered together with the
kind and amount of their labor. 1t IS pointed out
that the instructors in most OF the large unlver-
sites get from 500 to $1,000 year. There is
no indication either of forward movement in
salaries I'm connection with this small pay the
duties of these instructors should be remem-
bercd In the large colleges and universities
they are the wheel horses; they do most of the
work The universities have what are called
big men, to fill the important chairs and fond
papas and mamas imagine that their hopetuls
are under the care of the big man, when as a
matter of fact they arc under the care most OF
the time of the $500 a year instructors or adjunct
professors
The i-paid instructors are men prepared by
special study. Many of them are graduates. OF
foreign universities Their only hope is that
they may be promoted to be professor and get
a little more pay. But chances for such promo
ton are slim Professors live to a ripe old age.
They are the Methuseahs of the present day.
The instructors should follow the example OF
our Wilmington teachers and lombard the
wealthy trustees just as our teachers bombarded

would cause even a sphinx TO deliver an Grafton.
The facts are that teaching is not lucrative oc-
