means that every teacher must remain
either single or childless, or lose hef
lob altogether or resort to ridiculous
subterfuges. such as plea or III heai&h.
The reasons for this decision reduced
themselves TO TWO. One was the I'M
possibility Of modifying the red tape IN
regard to pensions and substitutes,
reason which caused many caustic com
ments from unsympathetIc laymen on
the pedagogue's worship OF routine Inc
other reason seemed to be the con-

what would happen il all the teachers

cussion. aside from its barring on race

fallacies. One is the assumption tnat

Boston has made great strides In
the effort to guide scnool children
in their choice of work. How this ef-
fort started and what It means IL, in
terestinsly explained by Meyer Bloom
field. director Of the Vocation Bureau.
and Laura r. Wentworth executive
secretary Of the vocational guidance
department Of the Boston public
schools, who are joint authors Of An
article in The Survey.
THE Vocation Bureau, through,
whose influence the Boston schools
were induced to introduce vocational
guidance. does not aim at the placing
Of individual boys and girls in particu-
lar Jobs. It endeavors to study the
causes Of the waste which attends
tho passing Of unguided and untrain-
ed young people from school to work
and to assist by experiments to pre-
vent this waste. 1t aims to work out
the problem Of cooperation between
schools and occupations. for purpose OF
enabling both, to make a moro socially
profitable use of human talents and
opportunities. It publishes studies Of
vocations from the viewpoint Of their
educational and other efficiency re.
quirements. It conducts . training
course for qualified men and women
who desire to prepare Themselves for
vocational guidance In the public
school system. philanthropic institu-
lions. and business establishments.
Its interests therefore lie both in the
direction OF personal service to the
individual and Of constructive exper-'
iment and research in the field Of edu.

Unless the national committee acts
they will start something themselves,

Somebody should start something.
No two men represent more thorough
" the great majority Of the republic
can rank and file than Kenyon and

exists in the minds of the republican
voters. Both are Of high national re-

We may now look for the opposition
which Is to be expected from the
Barnes type Of alleged republican.
They are not many in com parison with
the real republicans. but they control
the national committee or did when
the committee was last in session.
The case is desperate one. Repub
licans OF the great republican states
are done with the Barnes as bosses
and the Rosewaters as the tools for
bosses to work with. If the same eIe-
ments are to control that were in
escendancy last year the republican

for the teachers, not the teachers for
the schools Our present collar dlplon-
acy and consideration for impecunious
young ladies has caused the education
OF the young. boys and girls alike. to
fall almost entiIely into the hands
Of young celibate women. And the
above incident looks as If the condition
were to be fostered by every possible
device. 1t has sometimes occurred to
US that II all the young women could
be eliminated from the schools, and the
teaching be put into the hands Of elder
ly married women whose own children
were safely launched. the real educa-
tive value Of our schools would be in :
creased. And, after all. the schools
exist for the children. We should very

superintendent about this, and also
about their. ideas on the Edgell ques-
ton.

SEND THEM TO THE POOR HOUSE.
Iowa CITY Republican,


a citizen who resides in the north
part OF the city, tells of conyersa-
ton he heard On street car relative
to street working. An advocate OF
the commission form Of government
on the streets are 100 old and can not
give good service.
But what would you do With these
men who clean the Streets asked d
pa ssenger.
1t would be cheaper to keep them
in the poor house" said the hard
hearted advocate o: the reform move
ment.
Now what do YOU think of thato Yet
il is just what Is being advocated by
the Citizen. ii wants able bodied men,
cal pa Die of doing a full days work in
ever department Of city affairs. To
the poor house the citizen would send
all the street men who have passed the
middle of LIES activities.
But who are these men: When young
men they were IN foreign country
wheer wages were low, where oppor-
tunities were few. They packed the
IA mily clothes. scant and old fashioned
into their old carpet sack and a few
bundles and started for the land Of
freedom and plenty. They came here
ignoran, OF our language and customs
but they were industrious and they
have reared families and done their
part well. And who has done better
considering their opportunities?
True. they are not as strong as they
once were but where can you find
young, strong men. who will do as
much work for the money as these old
men do?
We owe too much to these men and
their noble wives to talk of sending
them to the poor house. Many of their
children are in business. or are homes:
mechanics or laborers. Some Of them
are graduates of the university and are
in professions or are teachers in the
public schools.

COST OF GAME PROPAGATION.
ICeGar Rapids Gazette

The Delnar Journal has raised q
point OF TWO concerning the cost o.
maintaining the state fish and game
warden service. The Journal quotes
from the report Of the executive coun-
ell, which SAYS that for the two years
ended July !, 1912. the expense OF the
department was si42.430, about 1000
of which was spent for partridges and
pheasants and eggs of the game birds.
The Journal thinks it is Wanton
waste OF money. TO spend $4,000 when
Iowa is no longer a game state The
journal also thinks il is fraud to
charge the men and boys for hunters
licenses when there is SO little game
20 hunt and such a difficult matter TO
try 20 propagate game.
The journals statement is worthy
q little attention. aiIhu an intimation
that there is a graft Is not borne out
by any evidence that there has been
submitted, even If one man dad receive
So. 900 for game birds anu eggs.
The nub ot the matter is that Iowa
is no longer a game state SO far as
birds are concerned, and il seems fool
ish 10 try 10 make il one. Such great
percentage Of the land is farmed and

strenuous objections against trespass-
ing by hunters, that it would seem al
most me part Of wisdom 70 quit trying
TO stock fields and woods.
Still SO long as hunters are willing
to pay one dollar each for the privi-
Iege Of hunting pheasants and par
t-idges which are supposed to exist in
restricted areas, possibly no one should
object j: the money they contribute is
more or less wasted in the effort 10
give them something TO shoot at. The
money doesn't come out Of the pockets
OF the general taxpayers. 1t is con-
tributed by hunters, and they are the
