MORE MEN TEACHERS NEEDED.

TT Is assumed, and ought TO be, that the decree of equal pay for
men and women teachers in our schools will mean the gradual
= replacing OF women by men. This process will have limits, OF
course, but they will not soon be reached. Recent figures showed
1903 men teachers and 1i,246 women teachers in the elementary
schools and 700 mcn and 75E women in the high schools.
Seven women to one man in our school system presents a condi-
lion a anomalous as q Mormon household. 1t should be corrected.
Nov that there is no advantage in economy in employing women, the
way to 10 it, other things being equal, or nearly so, is to give the pref
ernce to men applicants for teacherships in all but the primary grades
and where requirements specially indicate a woman.
The Iroquois removed their sons from female tuteage as soon as
they could use the bow, and this is the custom of all savage races.
1t has it's analogy for us. Every boy is entitled to a mans guardian
ship in the home and outside. A wrong is done him if he enters
his teens under predominantly female direction. He should have
q masculine pattern set him. His impressonabe years should have
benefit OF the virne strength, the rugged quality that are mems dover.
IL it much more sensible to set a woman teacher in charge OF a boy
Of fourteen than Of q boys gymnasium or boys camp? Are not young
gMir also entitled to some contact with the masculine quality which
rules the world?
Not for this end did the women school teachers make their good
fight for equal pay. Yet surely they will welcome il, for without
ousting one of them, it will replace them with men as fast as they
quit school work for marriage, and will assure to the boys whom they
shall bear a boys b~irthright.

TO THE RESCUE OF THE VILLAGE.

= ONE of the men in the moving picture business are former
race track touts, some ex-dive keepers. Yet they and their
more conventional comrades of the films are doing a work Of
moral regeneration. They embody q beneficial reaction of city upon
country. They are bringing wholesome distractions to towns too
small to support a theatrical stock company or even be visited by
sh,ws that do one-night stands.
Much of the cussedness Of country life is the product Of sheer
ennui. Why are l!ynchings and feuds, and tar-and-feathcr parties,
and fcncc-rail rides and disordcrly charvnrS rural rather than urban
phenomena! For the same reason that quilting parties and husk-
ings and spelling bees and lyccum lectures and amateur theatricals
and wet-and-dry campaigns are. Country people must be amused.
In a neghborhood which has no theatres, no professional enter
tanners, no great white way people must make their own entertain
mcnt Therefore they gossip and lynch and poster each other and
break loose in ways eccentric or horrifying.

Ia true has been demonstrated by the
fact that most of the great trusts
have clothed themselves in the form
of holding companies.
The decisions Of the supreme court
in the Standard oil and Tobacco cases
establish that even state authority
cannot sanction the use Of this power
to establish a monopoly. But the
facts stated by MI. Farrar are indis-
putable and illustrate the insidious

create the existing situation. Had
every corporation been kept within
the plain purposes Of its charter and
permitted to do only its own busi-
ness there is no doubt that the in
dustrial developments of the past
forty years would have been of far
different character.
Whether the fault can be abolished
not, it is quite certain that it will
be a far more difficult task than If
the consolidating process had been
stopped in the first place. 1t is far
easier to nip an abuse in the bud than
to eradicate it after it has become
de%ep-rooted and widespread.

A sTARTING POINT.

A point made by E. H. Farrar, pres
ident of the American Bar associa-
ton, in his outspoken address before
the recent session of that body on
corporate evil is worth public notice
and remembrance. 1t is his declara-
ton that the statutes permitting n
corporation to own and vote shares
in another is the most vicious of all
legalized corporation practices. On
this topic. the following words of a
lawyer Of high professional standing
are instructive:
This provision is the mother of the
holding company and the trust. It
provides a method for combining un-
der one management and control cor
porations from one end of the nation
to the other. Before these statutes
were passed the courts Of the country
had held with great unanimity that
1t is against public policy for one
corporation to hold and vote stock
In another, and the general ground
Of the doctrine is that such stock
holding tends to restrain trade and to
foster monopoly. That this doctrine
