Remember most Of those who paid such miserable
salaries teaching the boys and girls who are to be the
future men and women State bright and intel
lgent persons, who engaged in most useful and
laudable profession Take the school year and level
the salary received calendar year basis and see
what the result will be. Take the case of young
woman teacher who teaches five months in year for
$50 a month"; or a total OF $3.50 for the calendar year
That gives her average OF less than SO week for
the year. There many men in the rural districts
who profess be patrons of education who ought to
be ashamed to offer such money as is paid in many
instances and women who have the intelligence
to teach and the moral character to care for boys and
girls Our rural school districts full of who
cheerfuiy pay $3.50 day to ignorant farmland
to cultivate and conserve their crops and who think
that 81 or $25 is proper pay for the teacher who
is hired to cultivate the minds the morals
Of their boys and girls. There are many men in our
rural school districts who provide better quarters for
their and than they do for their teachers
and the boys and girls Of schoolgong age.
While such the controlling factors in GER
tain school districts the educational interests of those
districts must remain at low ebb They stand in the
way OF proper and attractive school buildings and
grounds they stand in the way of properlypaid teach
ers they stand in the way of beneficial consultations
of districts and they stand the way Of the inroduc
ton into the schools OF modern and approved methods
which serve to make presentday schools both
tive and eduoative.
Conditions in OF the rural districts in New Cas-
tie county the assertion that if the men ran
their farms and other lines of business with the same
disregard methods that characterzes their
conduct Of the schools Of them would be in the
sheris hands in foreclosure proceedings, and scores
of others would be on the verge Of passing into his
hands II is shameful educational conditions
exist the richest and most populous county in our
State but the school buildings and the salaries paid
in many districts prove conclusivey that they exist
and that is time for a change to be made, voun-
tarily il possible; by legislative compulsion, if ne

RURAL TEACHERS AND SALARIES.

VA have before the directory and programme
w Of the thirty-eighth annual New Castle County
Teachers Institute. the three-day meeting OF which
ended in this city last week It contains facts
and figures. compiled by A. r. spad. County
superintendent. which show the grossly inadequate
salaries paid many teachers in the rural school dis
ricts in this county also the imperative necessity
for the consolidation many Of the districts, the
end that decent salaries may be paid and decent school
houses provided There are 12S school in
raj New Castle county, and the tables prepared by
Professor spaid show that in p OF them the compul
sorry attendance period s only three months year;
that in six the compulsory period only months
a year. while in rs It is ive months a year.
1t is the opinion of Professor Spad. who has given
to the question OF the compensation OF school teach
ers much careful thought that teacher should
ceve salary Of less than $40 a month, $40 week,
and that there should be annual increases to build
that minimum respectable living wage for pro-
fessional work It should be borne in mind that the
rural district teachers only paid for the months
in the year during which they teach and that during
the remaining months they seek other work. eke
out precarious living the scant savings Of the
school term, or be dependent upon relatives
Let cite few instances to show how miseraby
rural school teachers paid, during the current
school year Delicacy constrains omit the
OF the teachers
District No g. Rockland for instance employs one
teacher at $50 a month and last year the number OF
days taught in that school was 1s9, or trae six
months OF actual teaching time
District No 81 Milford Roads, pays its teacher only
$40 month, and last the number Of days taught
1853, a trihe less than six months Of actual
teaching time.
District No SO. White Clay Creek, pays its teacher
only s35 a month"; and last year the number of teach
ing days was 1853, or a triho Eve months. We
give herewith several other districts to show what
precarious living many teachers have result of
the parsmony Of those who contribute the school
funds or because districts which unable
willing support the schools and the teachers
properly, take steps to consolidate with other dis
trics and have school facilities and pay salaries
that are worth while:

sAME EMOTIONAL WRANGLE.
From the Middletown Transcript,
(Rep)

From the Middletown Transcript.
(Rep)
Fate played against the Democrats
in Kent and Sussex counties at the
recent election, in forcing upon them
the task of choosing a United States
Senator. Again the old factionaI
wrangle which ragged in the Demo-
cratic camp for years and tore that
party into shreds has been brought
to the surface. While the Democrats
had no possible chance of securing
this desirable plum, Willard Sauls-
bury was recognized as their caucus
nominee and Bayardites. Wolcottites,
Hughes men, etc, all fell in line vot-
ing for him day after day in joint
sessions. Because of this action on
their part there were many who be-
lieved that the old factional strife
between the Saulsburys and these
men had been swept away and the
breach healed.
But il was only lying dormant,
waiting for a chance to assert itself.
And now that the opportunity has ar
rived il is asserting itself Last
weeks Index, which is the acknowl-
edged mouthpiece of all the anti
Salisbury elements leaves nothing
to conjecture on this point.

Hurse DOWd Says:
blessing for the Aued''

No.ihS many years experience she has
always found this great medicine
wonderfully efficient.
She writes: 81 am a nurse and wish
to tell you what Dufys Pure Malt
Whiskey has done for some of my older
patients. The lady l am caring for at
present is in her 9sth year, and we
owe it all to Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.
When she was 81 years old she had a
very hard spell of sickness, and but for
this medicine she would have died. 1
nursed another lady, "a years old, where
the medicine did her so much good, she
would not do without It. One old lady
96 years old said she attributed her good
health to Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey,
and she is never without bottle of it.
For my practice prefer Dufy's Pure
Malt WhisSey to any other and / want
people to know what a blessing it is,

even attend the Democratic conven-
ton.
Mr.. Salisbury was also quite busy
at the Democratic headquarters in
New York during the campaign, and
he paid more attention to the nation
al campaign than he did to that in
Delaware. 1t is probable, therefore,
that even should political fortune
prevent Mr. Salisbury from becom-
ing Senator he would still be looked
up to for advice and counsel con-
cerning Delaware matters by the new
administration.
The Democratic Office hunters, il
seems to us, will be puzzled for a
while at least to determine which road
they shall take in order to approach
properly the White House. They
have plenty of time, however. for we
imagine that the new President will
be in no hurry to distribute the
fruits Of victory, either in Delaware
or elsewhere.
