THIS ONE A POSER
Do Single or Married Women
Make the Best Teachers
in Public Schools.
Alley TALKS ON QUESTION
palladium Specially

Indianapolis, Oct 10.-"The presi
dent of Tufts college says married
women make the best school teach
ers," a visitor in the office of the su
perintendent of public instruction told
DR.. R. ]. Alley, Saturday, neglectins te
say that DR.. Hamilton's remark was
intended to apply to young women's
finishing schools"
IF that is the case there are certain
ly many teachers who would like te
raise their qualifications in such a
manner" replied the future presiden,
of Maine university.
The discussion of such a question
must necessarily be somewhat theo
retical," he went on to say. why
do not suppose 200 Of the 1900 fem
mime school teachers in Indiana are
married and scarcely one-four hun
dredth of the total number of the
women in the country would perhaps
be conservative estimate. The mum
Der is not sufficient upon which to
base a practical judgment.
The thing which most advocates OF
married women as teachers believe, is
that a woman who has children has a
closer sympathy with children than a
single woman. But as a matter OF
fact large proportion OF the married
women who teach are childless. If a
woman has merely pooled her inter
ests with a man there is nothing in
that which recommends her more
strongly for a teaching position than
her single sister. l have known many
single women in the teaching profess
sion who have apparently worked out
fuller philosophy of life and have a
broader sympathy with children than
some of the married women at the
desks. II a woman is naturally talent
ed as a teacher and in addition has
the divine gift of motherhood doubt
less she is exceptionally qualified. On
the other hand if she has children,
there is bound to be a division of in
terests between the home and the
school. The fact that unmarried wom-
en- need the money opens up another
phase of the question. But school
boards who discriminate against the
wife unqualifiedly take a stand which
is hard to support with reason.

Z Shrine Sacred to Three conflietins
Religious Ssets-
Throughout Asia holy places" are
almost US numerous as leaves on a
tree. but In Ceylo is mountain which
enjoys the unique distinction Of being
very holy place TO the devotees Of
three absolutely distinct and conflict
ing religious sects. This il Adams
Peak. or Samantha.
According to the Mohammedan be-
lief. Adam. after the fall. was taken
and panorama OF all the ills that
through sin should afdict mankind was
spread out before him. His foot left
an impression on the solid rock. and
his tears formed the lake from which
pilgrims still drink. The Buddhists
contend that it was not Adam, but
Buddha himself that made the foot
print in the rock. that being the last
spot where he touched the earth be-
fore ascending to heaven. while the
Brahmins have still another legend
ALL however. Brahmins. Mohamme-
dams and Chinese. agree that Samantha
is very holy place. and to perform a
pilgrimage to the spot. Is to the Budd-
hist what a visit to Mecca is to a Mo
hammedan. In mixed crowds the wor-
shippers come, each plying the igno-
rance Of the other, who is so far from
the true way"
1t requires no little faith and some
imagination to trace In the depression
in the rock the likeness Of a human
footprint. 1t is 5A feet long by 21a
feet wide. on the top OF huge bowl

1t is the footprint OF Adam.-Emmett

strongest type with just enough of
plot to it to keep the story together
