made by the British board OF trade
1t is based on Investigations which
we're begun in 400. Their scoD'
Included 2S representative Ameri
can cities.
In general, the report shows tina
while English working people have
some advantage in respect OF rent
and the cost Of certain commodities
which are lower for them than fol
American workers. that advantage
lis more than offset by the materially
higher wages which prevail in THU
country.
It Is figured that the cost Of living
| to an English family in Americs
would be So per cent higher, the
manner Of living being equal.
But that same family would have
the benefit Of wages 1870 per cent
higher.
II is stated in the report that en-
ployment Is as steady here as IL is
in England; consequently the work
ers' margain of safety is much great
err in this country, making possible
the command of necessaries, conVen-
fences and the minor luxuries OF lie
to an extent greater than in England
although the effective margin Is In
itself curtailed by the scale OF ex-
penditure." But the higher expen-
diture. the Investigators say, IS IN
some instances voluntary, in accord
ance with different and higher stan
dard of material comfort. The Amer
lean worker may spend all his In
come. but If he desires to save part
of It. he can do SO by proper man
agement.
England is free trade country.
In the United States the working
classes have enjoyed prosperity un-
der the operation Of the Republican
policy of protection for home indus
tries and labor.
But now the Democratic party
proposes to change that condition
to commit this country to free-
trade-ward policy, and thus to take
away the advantage which the wage
workers of the United States nave
over those of England and other for,
eign countries.
And that, under the false pre-
tense that such change Will OeneIiV

HOTEL GUESTS MUST

Hotels that do not have clean ana

at least.
Inspectors were started out yes
terday from Topeka with instructions
to locate and report every hotel or

sheets. The new law requires that
each bed in each hotel or transient
rooming house be provided with clean
sheets each day.

new law is being badly treated. There

bed Is placed at the bottom and
the bottom sheet is removed. The
bottom sheet is the one that is wrink-
led up but the top one is ordinarily
in such shape that It can be smooth
ed out and used again. BY this
method the hotel men are able to
use each sheet twice.
Then there is another class Of
violators. These hotel men have a
plan for getting three or four nights
use out Of each sheet. 1t is charged
that each morning they run them
between heated rollers and take the
wrinkles out and place them bach
on the beds. They are not any
cleaner than they were mussed up
but they look better and according
to the health department such sheetl
have been passing muster.

little red schOolhouse Is a thing o.
the past In Brown county. It hal
given way to a modern brick build
ling with basement for the fdrnac'
and a specially constructed refuge
from the wind. The schooln.a-am'i
taking advantage Of the improve
lments, have decided that they neet
| no longer work at starvation wages
A few years ago the average wage
Of the country school teacher wal
$40 q month. The situation Is DIFF
ferent today. Several women teach
ers have been contracted at $50 to
l3S5 a month, to teach in these mod
ern schoolrooms out on the prairie
when the term closed q week age
the teachers agreed that their work
was worth at least $65 month. No
teacher in the county has accepted
q school at less than this wage. The
school boards finally gave In. Two
or three school boards, wiser than
the others, selected some of the more
experienced teachers at from $40
to S85 a month. Then there was q
scramble for experienced teachers.
Eight Of these schoolma ANS decided
that they would teach no longer and
their engagements to young farmers
have been announced. That hur-
ried matters, and an experienced
teacher can now get almost any
price she demands. Whether the
fact that several teachers barely es'
capped death or injury in the recent
tornado has made the profession
hazardous one. is not stated In the
demand for higher wages, nor is that
the reason given by those to be
married. The new plans for tor
nado cellars In the schools is prob
ably due to the fact that "fraid
holes" are being constructed near
most Of the residences in the county.
Cement arched caves, in close prox-
unity to the dwelling houses, is the
rule rather than the exception. No
one laughs at the farmer who rs
building cave, as most of the caves
IN the tornado-swept district saved
from four to ten lives. The Willow
Grove school, near Hiawatha, which
has just been completed, is built
IN the most approved plans.

THE WATER SYSTEM.

The communication published In
the Reflector regarding the change
of the water system from the flat
rate to the meter have proved inter-
esting. The complaint Of the con-
tributor who thinks that water VIII
be used too sparingly to keep the
lawns in order is probably exagger-
ated. The lawns Of town will have
as much water as they need under
any system. The commissioners
have been very lenient with water
users and the possibility Of too much
being used Is Of course impossible
Of detection except by an elaborate
system Of espionage that is scarcely
worth the cost and trouble 1t takes
Junction City seems to present a
shining example Of how to run
waterworks system. Its low rate is
a marvel and while Abilene would
have to start in at double the juno
ton price It ought to get down to
fifteen cents 1000 gallons before
many years. The waterworks ought
not to be a money making PROPOSE
ton but 1t ought to take care OF IT.
self. That 1t would do 50 under
the meter system when everybody
paid for what he got is certain.
Many Abilene residences are already
on a meter basis and the owners say
that they are paying less than un-
der the flat rate and use as much
water as they desire. If the city puts
in the meters, as 1t should do, 1t
should put them in for every con-
sumer and play no favorites. II the
pumpage estimate is correct, there
is too much water wasted. II moth
ing else is done, this should be stop
ned and rigid examination made
of every connection to Bee 1uPt
where the leak is and when rules
are violated impose the proper PEN

THE SWINGING PENDULUM.

IhE DWlNUANU HNDOHOA'
The educational pendulum has
been swinging toward vocational
studies-manual training, domestic
science and kindred subjects. But
is there no danger Of its swinging too
far? That is a question that is more
discussed today than any other In
educational circles. There is no
denying the fact that educators are
generally accepting these studies as
a necessary part of the curriculum.
They have demonstrated their value.
And yet as in every new movement
there must be a guarding against the
unrestrained work Of the enthusiast.
1t Is being proclaimed that the pur-
pose Of the school Is to equip the
scholar for the industrial battle OF
life-to render 1t easier for him to
make a living. The cry is for the
Unitarian. 1t Is but reflex OF
the inslstent spirit of this CONNER
cial age. But 1t is distorted view
and there is danger in 1t. There
is no need to argue that the ability
to make a living is the imperative
and universal need and that the man
who fails to do 1t is burden to So
ciety-that goes without saying. But
when that becomes the immediate
and sole end Of education, education
has lost its crown Of eternal glory.
The training Of the hand must never
be allowed to assert supremacy over
the training of the mind. The two
may and should travel together but
until the world has no longer need
of men who can conceive great plans,
who can feel great emotions, who
can dream great dreams, who can
bring from a fellowship with the
great writer's and artists and think
ers Of the past great messages for
the working out of a great destiny
for mankind-not until then will the
mere money-maker be the rightful
lord Of the world. And the man who
looks with disfavor upon the cultural
studies is a man of superficial
Thought and narrow vision. First the
elemental subjects of reading ant
spelling and writing and arithmetic
everlasting emphasis upon them
And after that leading Of the
student into a fellowship with science
and literature and history and Ian
guage and with master minds in al
realms. And along with this a co
ordinate training Of the body int
highest efficiency and Of the han'
into the practical work Of the day
That is the ideal. To work 1t GU
lsanely and with even balance

The vocational has q place and
