THE UNIT RULE.

The general opinion existing throughout Connecticut as regards the democratic delegat ton which the state will send to Baltimore is generally thought to be against an instructed body of delegates and also the unit rule and concerning this question the Bridgeport Farmer writes somewhat at length: 'It is to be desired that the convention shall not send an instruct ed delegation to Baltimore, nor should the delegation be instructed to vote under the unit rule. In the light or recent circumstances there is serious question if the convention knows what candidate the people of Connecticut do prefer, and the choice might better be left to the delegates to follow their individual opinions. In this way some sections of the state will be pret- tv sure to be represented, if all are not. The unit rule is of questionable value. It Is undemocratic in its na- ture. and can be sustained only upon the theory that & majority of a dele Eation is actually representative of majority of the voters o1 the party. which is not always the case. espec- ially whom delegations have been chos- en pro forms" Democrat.

HIGHER PAY
 FOR TEACHERS
Facts and Figures by U. s. Com.
 missioner of Education, rDr. P. P. ClaxtOn
GET LESS THAN $500 YEAR
But Salaries of Male Teachers Have Increased 38 Per Cent, and Fe-
 male 27 Per Cent,

Washington, May 7-Higher paid and more, thoroughly equipped teach. CTS are urged for the public schools of the country by Dr. P. P. C1axton United States commissioner of educa- tion. in his annual review of educa- ttonal conditions, soon to be distrib- uted by the bureau of education.
 The report which deals with pc riod covering the first ten years of the present century, shows that of male teachers increased 38 per cent, and the salary of female teach CTS 27 per. eents the average annual pay of teachers, including those in the big cities and high schools, is less than $500.
 "the wage scale for teachers falls far below the countrywide average. In eleven states the average annual sal ary for teachers is less than $400; in eight it is less than $500; in two less than $25O. For salaries like this il is clearly impossible to hire the ser vices of men and women of good na- training and experience to enable them to do satisfactory work. More. over, very large percentage of the teachers are men and women less than 21 years old. In the country al large less than one-half had adequats preparat1On TOT tnelr WOrh. III sOuis states less than 25 per cent. have had the full preparation given by norma schools and most of the states less than 10 per cent. Of the teachers ir the country schools have had suct preparation"
 The report shows that in the period covered the average number of days attended by each child enrolled II the public schools increased 14 pei cent: the value of school property in creased 75 per cent; the income o1 public schools increased S3 per cent 1t also shows that the expenditure fol public education is less than $5 pe1 capita in 25 states. and less than $2.5t per capita" in ten states. The mum Der of public schools increased during the period 70 per cent.
