There Is More Hard Work Than Play at the

would be ready. Following this came
the evening study. Yes, study. Camp
life was not all play. All the students
would gather in tie large class tent
and review what had been done dur
ing the day. Data would be compiled
and the work all written up in note
J books. This work was done system
atically with tables and statistics, SO
that when the summer was over every
one knew exactly what work he had
covered by glancing at his tables. The
study usually lasted an hour or so
and then all went for their blankets,
being very glad to get there.
This program varied but very little.
Often some one had the district school
teacher listen to his jokes for an
evening, or some one went down to
town and astonished the natives for
bit, but it was very seldom. The
Fourth of July saw a celebration. This
date and Christmas are the two hOli-
days celebrated in that section. The
students were there for the big Fourth
and the summer camp decided to take
a day off and celebrate too. All hands
slicked their hair, brushed up their
boots. put on bright ties and proceeded
to flag the jerk-the-jerk as it came
along.
That was a great day. The fellows
are still talking about it. 1t was won
derful just to see the girls look at
the University boys. One student ex-
pressed himself very clearly the next
morning.
This country may not be much on
scenery, the hills may be little rocky,
the transportation little balky. and
the natives look like greenery, but
those women. oh, those women."
But, as in all cases, holidays and
women got the camp into trouble.
While they were gone an animal,
thought 10 have been a hog, deyOured
nearly all the pantry stores.
They had good time all summer as
well as a profitable time. So much
so that when it came time to get to-
gether the tenting, boxes and camping
there was a great deal OF
reluctance. And when loaded, the
three-car company train did not seem
to wheeze and jolt SO much, nor did

TEACHERS POORLY PAID.

4 recent report OF the United States
Bureau Of Education states that the
average WAGES OF teachers in the pub
lie schools have steadily decreased
during the last sixteen years. The
report points out that, despite the
apparent increase Of wages, the cost
of living has greatly oyerbalanced the
account. The report shows these
facts:
\ teaching position which paid $500
in 1S97 is only paying $ilG today, if
measured by present purchasing pow
er and by 1897 prices. The teacher
on a salary of $1,000 gets no more
for his money than he would have pro-
cured sixteen years ago for sG93.
The report shows that prices in 1911
were about As per cent higher than
in 1SJ. and that in June 1872 retail
prices were C1.1 per cent higher than
in 1896.
The Bureau of Education analyzed
