The Underpaid Teachers.

F'rom the New York Evening Post.)
 Teachers compete closely with Clergymen for the honor of composing inc worst paid profession in the coun- try. The figures of the Commission of Education show that, although in the last ten years the average monthly salary of men teachers has increased 38 per cent and that of women teach CTS 27 per cent, the average annual pay Of teachers is still under $500. In twenty-five states the expenditure for public education is less than S5 per capita, and in ten states 1t is not half of this amount While the average number of days attended by the pupils enrolled has gone up 14 per cent, the number of public scheols 70 per cent, the value of school property 75 per cent and the income of the scheels S9 per cent we have responded only half -heartedliy 10 the growing demon stratien that the work of educating our future citizenship is being left largely in the hands of these who ean- not find anything better to de, The fact that training for teaching is more and mere being required does not viiate this consideration, but rather enforces it, since by it's cest it em- phasizes the smaliness of the reward attainable upon it's completion. It is te the credit of the best of those who take up teaching that the salary is not the enly attraction, but that is no reason for making it a fact that tends te eliminate them from the ranks.

A Lsval.Hsadsd Man want.d.

Theodore Roosevelt wants the public to understand that refusal to follow his leadership will result in the coun- try going to pieces. While everybody is willing to concede that the former President Is man of ability. every body is not ready to acquiesce in any foolish assertion that we are lacking in the men of mark who, when called upon by crisis, would fail to meet every requirement, The trouble with the Coloney is his inability to cease posing as a great patriot, While the country must face many problems, there is no call for a Caesar or a Ma poleon, A plain, vel-headed Ameri- can citizen is what is wanted at Washington during the next few years, And President Taft appears to he that citizen.-From The Detroit Free Press,
