THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.

A feature OF the recent annual
meeting Of the Michigan state Teach
ers' association, at Detroit, was an ad-
dress by +. p. Claxton, u. S. commits
sioner Of education In part he said
Il have read that the public school
Is declining, but say that If what we
have done shows waning faith in
public education. we should let her
wane Here are some of the changes
between 1900 and 1910: The number
Of teachers has increased from 42S,-
600 to $4,000; the value of school
property from S55O,OOO,OOO to ST.
100000 900; the income Of the common
schools from 100000 900 to $425, 900, -
900; the appropriation for normal
schools from $275OOOO to $6.75O, ,OOO
public high schools from 6,OO5 to TO-
.213: high school teachers 1O1 per cent,
and the pupils from $4,000 to $4,000.
Each individual in the state should
be able to care for his own destiny.
All should be educated. but last year
only 80 per cent Of the children Of
the nation were in school.
"OnTy sixth OF the teachers now

The demand Of the feminine seven
tenths Of the Michigan State Teachers
association for equal pay for equal
work will not perish for want Of
public sympathy, remarks the Detroit
News. II a certain service is perform
ed. why should there be any discrim-
ination in the payment for that serv-
ice? Wages are paid for work done;
they are the reward for demonstrated
ability in the accomplishment Of a
task. Whether the work is done by a
man or a woman should not enter into
the payroll, providing the man does the
work as well as the woman. or the
" oman as well as the man. OF course,
the women teachers are aware that IN
many instances a discrimination is
pay, and they are aware Of the reason;
20 o-wit. they accept the lower wage and
work for II. To get fair treatment they
must make a concerted demand for
such treatment. one or two women OF
corps OF twenty or forty teachers in
a given school cannot alter the status
Of seven -tenths of the teachers of the
state by making an isolated stand
against discrimination A large ma
jOrity Of the seven -tenths must be or
ganized TO give force to the demand.
Why they should not get together in
the cause Of equal pay for equal per-
Torrance is a question that they must
answer for themselves.

ITALIANS KILLING WoMEN7

The discriminating reader Of war
news should not be too ready to accept
on their face the stories about the
slaughter Of Arbian women and child
ren in the fighting about Tripoli which
have come over the wires. Women
and children-especially women-may
have suffered with the men, but this
single fact does not beaE out the case.
Anyone who has ever got a glimpse
OF the AraD population of Africa,
whether in Morocco, Algiers of Tunis,
or Tripoli, will remember that in vol

RESPECT EoR HUMAN LIFE.

While the great naval review in New
York harbor was under fun Roadway,
a seaman fell overheard from the New
Jersey. He had lost his footing and
plunged forward while assisting al the
starboard gangway There was pow
erful current. and the wind was blow
ing at the rate Of sixty miles an hour.
Little hope. under the circumstance,
for a man unable To swim, but life
preservers were thrown 10 the spot
where he went down. and four boats
were promptly launched TO search.
Crews from the Nebraska and the
Virginia assisted the men Of the New
Jersey and the sweep of the whole
armada was delayed for an hour while
everything possible was done. first To
rescue the "man overheard" and then
to recover his body But an was vain.
The incident however. was impress
sive. Here was the great navy Of the
United States under review by the
pres.dent-without exception the vast
est array of death-dealing enginery
possible on the water in any part OF
the world at the present time. Yet
its evolutions halted when there was
hope Of saving a single human life, and
were not resumed while there remain
ed a reasonable expectation Of recover
ing the dead seaman's body.

automobile races. Then the practice
is to adhere to the official program

the wreckage Of the last one has been
