A WORD TO HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.
The young man or woman who seeks a
position Immediately after graduating from
the high school makes great mistake, for
there are few positions open for such SER
vice, and the pay therefore is so small as
to be of no consideration. The high school
graduate has been taught but few things
that are in demand in the business world
of today.
A business education in the absence of
high school course is far more valuable than
a high school course in the absence of
business course. The knowledge of bust
ness training is always in demand in the
business world Positions are always open,
and the best salaries are paid for such SER
vices. 1t is the business training that pays.
POORLY REMUNERATED TEACHERS.
The teachers in our common schools re-
ceive the smallest pay of all professional
classes, especially is this true of those In
the country schools. country teacher is
actually employed at most eight months in
the year, from $50 to $40 per month. A
large number of former teachers have COM
pleted courses in business colleges, and not
only doubled, but in many cases trebbled
their former wages.
The broad educational foundation already
laid by teachers not only enables them to
complete course here much sooner than
the average student, but their general knowl-

Threatened to Expose Eastman, and
In Fear OF Serving o Prison Term
He Killed Her.
With the compromise verdict OF the
coroner's jury AT st. Michaels, Nd,
that Robert Il. Eastman either killed
her or was an accessory to the mur
der OF Edith May Woodill. and the
declaration OF States Attorney Taylor
that he was through with the case. the
strange dual tragedy which has for
nearly a week focused the eyes OF
the entire country upon this little out
of the way hamlet OF Maryland's
famous eastern shore became closed
incident
Four OF the twelve Jurors who lis
tened to the testimony at the reopened
inquest refused to sign the verdict
until the words "or accessory to the
crime" were added to the draft which.
approved by the majority. bluntly ac-
cused Eastman of the murder. None of
the four dissenting jurymen would
say that any other person than East
man was responsible for the girls
death. They merely wished to protest.
they said, against the manner In which
the inquiry was conducted. declaring
that much available evidence was not
adduced.
There was no evidence to show that
anyone but Eastman and his victim
were In the bungalow.
And the final theory of the authori-
ties is this:
That Eastman was In need of mon
ey; that he probably had been getting
money from Mrs. Woodill for some
time: that he undoubtedly knew some
thing of her past life. and that he had
been backmailing her: that he at
tempted to continue this practice and
that the woman rsbelled. intimating
that she. too. had found out certain
things about Eastman. and that II
driven to 1t would expose him.
Eastman's dread OF serving a term
in the penitentiary is we'll known. His
wife has said that he told her he would
rather commit suicide than be con-
fined in prison. The pawning Of the
jewelry the authorities set down to
the desire vi Eastman 10 set away.
When cornered the man decided that
his race had been run and that he had
better make an end to It all. AS to
why Mrs Woodill went to the bunga-
low there was no evidence.
A letter found upon Eastman's body.
addressed to Miss Winnie Bradcome In
New York. gave Eastman's ill-sustain-
Cd excuse for the crime. II was q
rambling account Of how he had been
out In a launch with party Of men
and women, all OF whom had been
drinking to excess with the exception
Of himself and Mrs. Woodill; OF how
one OF the women In a at OF Jealous
frenzy had attacked Mrs. Woodill with
q wine bottle and killed her; how the
remainder OF the party had taken to
Eight. Leaving him to dispose Of the
body. and how as a means of escape
from all OF his troubles the writer had
decided to end his life. Eastman
asked Miss Bradcome to hurry to
Maryland to take charge Of his body
and his property. Miss Bradcome is
Eastman's wife. They were married
in 1908. and lived together only q
week.
