WANTED TO BE AN AVIATOR
Earnest in Her Desire to Nav
igate the Air.

Mr. Claude Grahame-White, the fa-
nous English aviator, is constantly
besought by young women to teach
them to become aviators. Many make
application by letter. One of these
letters reached him the other day
from a point in Missouri. Cleared of
it's errors in grammar, spelling and
capitalization, it read something like
this:

ANXIOUS TO LEARN!

At the teachers agencies here 1t Is
said that the demand for more and
better teachers is accompanied by in
creases in the cost of tuition. This
is especially true of the private
schools. especially the boarding
schools.
1.-TWO or three years ago." said one
teachers agency manager, "a boy
could be sent to very good boarding
school for $500 or $500 a year. Now
the average charge at such institui
tons is 500 or $500.
THE colleges that charge tuition Of
course do not depend upon these fees
for support; nevertheless many of
them have raised their tuition
charges on an average of $25 year.
The private boarding school business
must be profitable. for the number of
establishments is increasing.
This. of course. is good for our
business. for it quickens the demand
for teachers and raises salaries. The
only educational institutions that are
declining are the old-fashioned day
seminaries. The free state schools are
fast driving them out"

TOO MUCH FOR HACK DRIVER
gh-sounding Name Made Old Man
Think There Was Something
Mysterious in the Wind.

After long, hot, and dusty journey
by train. the New York commercial
traveller arrived in Richmond, brushed
enough dust off his face to make sure
that the right man was getting off,
and hailed one of the little sea-going
hacks common in the Old Dominion
city. 1t was driven by an aged negro.
Drive me to a haberdashery," said
the travelling man, surveying his solled
raimeIt with disfavor. "Yessuh,' said
the negro. "Giddup." The old horse
started off at little stiff-legged jog
trot. The driver seemed to be think
ing deeply. BY and by he pulled the
horse to stop, and leaned backward
to his fare. "Scuse me, subj" said he,
but. wey did you all want to go?'
Drive me to a haberdashery," said
the travelling man. "Oh, yessuh," said
the negro ITO be sure. Giddup.
The hack ratified on for little way,
and then the negro stopped, got of
the box, and poked his; head in over
the little door. "Mebbe All didn't get

cessions The local merchants are
gradually abolishing the old-time
complimentary methods of selling
goods to ministers. All of the other
avenues of outside help are becoming
more and more clogged, until they
will soon be closed entirely The
calls upon the minister's purse are
not lessening in number or insistence.
He is considered legitimate and easy
prey by many persons, members of
his own flock included. While all this
is true. the cost of living is steadily
mounting higher and the salary that
several years ago might have been
ample to provide living is no longer
suffi cient
mo matter how small his salary,
whether it is barely suffic ient to keep
him and his family from starvation.
or not, the minister must wear good
clothing and dress his family well, be-
cause the pride of the. congregation
demands it. What shame it is that
this Christian pride does not extend
to the point that the parishioners are
wilnng to pay their pastor salary suf-
ficient to enable him to dress as he
should without sacrificing his own or
his family's physical well being in SO
doing.
Ministers belong to the noblest
profession on earth. They deserve
better treatment than they are re-
ceiving They are not beggars. In
the very nature of their profession
they cannot be and probably to that
fact is due the disposition OF churches
to pay them the least salary possible.
Few churches are paying what they
can afford. The tendency is all the
other way"
The Rev Mr.. Greenleaf is forty-six
years old His family is his wife, five
daughters and one son. He, came
here from Indianapolis, where he was
employed in the city engineers office
as a mechanical and civil engineer
craftsman. He thought that by extra
work as a craftsman he might earn
sufficient funds in addition to his sal
airy to support his family here in
comfort However. the work of min
istering to three country churches
took too much of his time and the
opportunities for doing outside work
were few.

Demand for Good Teachers
Greater Than Ever Before.
Reopening of Schools snows That De-
sire for knowledge Has Kept Bet.
ter Than Abreast of Growth
in Population.

New York-"The schools of the
country are opening this month and
with an increased attendance which
shows that the American thirst for
education has kept ahead of the
growth in population" This was said
by a manager of the largest teachers
agency in the country. who from the
nature of his work is in touch with the
educational situation all over the
country. Incidentally. he added that
good times were ahead for the mem
bers of the teaching profession.
The last school census showed that
10000 900 were enrolled in the various
institutions of the country. While no
figures for the present year are OBJ
tainable. 1t is estimated that common
schools alone have at least 100000
pupils.
Most of the public schools In the
north and east open soon after Labor
day. The exceptions are some schools
in northern New England. where, ow-
ing to the hard winters and the diff
culties of transportation. sessions are
held only In the spring and autumn
T, In the far south the heat delays
school openings, and in some districts
pupils do not return until November.
The latest institutions to begin the
years work are some of the southern
mission schools, which depend mainly
upon teachers from the north. SEES
sions there are postponed until late in
the fall, so that the northern teachers
may not be subjected to the unaccus-
toned climate.
Most of the colleges and universities
will have begun work by the first OF
October AS a rule the state universi-
ties and normal schools start earlier
than the universities privately en-
lowed and have longer terms.
