The needs of public school children in a

More than this. in spite of the sniff OF
the perpetrators of the good old custom
of our forefathers, the children of this
new century ought to be taught to eXer-
else and play with better sense than their
parents. The old Greeks had a far better
conception of a rightly rounded education
than the bulk Of our people in our brag-
ging Yankee land fifty years ago. or even
today. Physical education should march
apace with moral and mental. There can
not be a. sound mind in q child with an
unsound body.
Not one in ten of our school children
knows how to breathe or to walk, or to
run or TO jump correctly. We are lavish
in the provisions for the training of a
few thousand athletes. and have realized
that the smartest and strongest young
men need constant watching and caution
ing and teaching for their development.
But we have been grossly neglectful of
the needs of ignorant, needless and inn
petuous boys and girls. There Is dis
tressful lack of good sense in letting chill
dren scramble along unguided on our

Wealth..

Some time ago a French woman who
had for years been employed by a
wealthy family died at Flushing, L. 1.
She had received good wages. and being
of a frugal nature. she saved her money.
Gradually she acquired the habit of
investing in mining stock and began
finally to refer mysteriously to her
wealth. which was not to be disclosed
until after her death. She discussed
with friends her intention to endow a
home for friendless cats. the feline fam
lily holding high place in her affections
When she died her relatives showed the
usual interest of the bereaved in her
effects. and search was instituted for
signs of her wealth. There was no WILL
and hopes ran high. There were no bank
books, and hopes fell. Finally. after
eight trunks had been examined, several
packages OF stock certificates were found,
and hopes rose again. There were 1850
shares in the whole bunch, repre- senting.

There was nothing to indicate what the
purchaser paid for the stock. She had
evidently bought everything that offered
at bargain rates. The relatives rushed

ted the stock certificates to the surrogate
for appraisement. The report showed
that the whole assortment contained only
forty shares worth anything whatever
The surrogate sold them for $40. This
averaged less than one-seventh of a cent
share for the hidden fortune
In her own way the woman was just as
happy with her imagined wealth as
though every share were worth par. She
had her dreams of affiuence, her visions
of bestowing bounties, her ideal Of leav-
ing her wealth to what she conceived to
be good purpose. 1t is true that she
wasted her savings in worthless ventures.
and thus there was an economic loss. in
asmuch as her money was not put 10 a
sound use. But as far as she was con-
cerned it was we'll placed. She never
lost confidence. 1t is this spirit that Is
imposed upon by tricksters who have
doubtful schemes to promote and who
trade upon ignorance and trustfuness.
Few victims of the thousand and one
mining speculations 1oated during every
boom of good times pass through the ex-
perience as peacefully and biissfully as
did this simple minded woman.

School Teachers Pay.
From the Pittsburg Press.

rrOm the flttsDurS FTeSS
School teachers salaries are being in
creased. But the movement is not viO-
lent. Let nobody throw his hat in the air
and cry hurrah-just yet. For the school
teacher Is still the poorest paid server
of the public. DR.. Elmer Ellsworth Brown,
United States commissioner OF education,
has made a report showing that the aver
age monthly wages of men teachers has
Increased from 1883 in 1900 to $50 10 in
1907. and the average monthly wages OF
women teachers has Increased from S3S. 90
to 1887.
The tendency to increase pay is u graft
flying sign. But the still low average is
a deplOrable reflection upon the sense Of
justice Of the people of this country, par
ticularly when II is remembered that the
larger number OF teachers are paid only
during the months when they are EN-
ployed. and receive nothing whatever dur
ing vacation. III the annual incomes Of
teachers were given. instead of monthly
salaries. the figures would be all the more
significant.
There is no profession or occupation so
undergrad as that of school teachers. And
there is no profession or occupation that
ought to be better paid. The average
cook or housemaid gets a larger compen-
sation than the average woman school
teacher. considering that they are pro-
vided with bed and board.

Ground Hog "Winter."

If the snow storm of yesterday is a
sample of the sort of winter forecas ted
by the ground hog on his enlergence into
the sunshine last Tuesday Washington
will have no grievance against the little
rodent. In February every fair day is a
gain on the seasons record. The posi-
bilities for heavy weather are reduced
thereby in steadily increasing percentage.
OF course. any day may bring -a cold
wave. and even a "bliZZard with in
tense suffering in its train. and there is
risk in shouting until we are we'll out of
the woods of winter
This year the weather question is of
particular Importance to the people of
Washington and the tens of thousands of
people who are planning to come here for
the inauguration. Inasmuch as Congress
has persistently procrastinated in the
matter of change-of-date legislation the
absurd old calendar of national events
remains in force, and it is necessary to
plan every four years for the great fed
eral ceremonial with the possibility of
bad weather seriously interfering with the
comfort and even menacinS the health of
a multitude of people from all parts of
the United States. The citizens of the
for the inaugural preparations, must pro-
coed upon the theory that the day itself
will be fair. even though on numerous
occasions, such as the Inauguration OF
Harrison in 1889. that of Cleveland in
1893 and that of Mckinley in 1901
three of the last siX-they have had
to endure the disappointment of seeing
the results of their hard work in a meas
ure spoiled by cold and rain and snow.
Perhaps this is year Of tradition
breaking. Maybe the ground hog has lost
his weather wisdom and his forecast is
false. 1t is possible that Judge Taft is so
lucky as to be given an Inauguration day
without flaw. At all events, the ante
Inauguration work will go on just as Wig
orously as though the change-Of-date res
olution had been adopted by Congress
