A Good Business For Young
Men And Yong Women

Many people fail to understand how
inviting the work of the teacher is
TODAY; and too frequently when par
ents come to decide upon the career
their sons or daughters are to follow,
they fail to give consideration to the
teaching profession 1t is true that
the salaries Of teachers are not what
they should be; yet, graduates Of the
Louisiana State Normal School, on
account of their extensive prepare
tion, receive fair salaries. Last sum-
mer, all young lady graduates OBJ
tanned positions paying from $50 to
s75 per month. Several men were
placed at 500 and more per month.
There are other considerations, how
ever, besides those of money The
opportunity for service to State and
society, for study and self-improye-
ment, for social intercourse and hu-
manitarian Work-these items should
be considered when the teaching pro-
fession is compared with the work of
clerks, bookkeepers, stenugraphers,
telegraph and telephone operators,
bank employees, and even missionar
les.
The Louisiana State Normal School,
domiciled at Natchitoches, La, was
established by the State for the train
ing of teachers and its graduates are
exempt from teachers examinations,
1t has an extensive plant and a full
equipment for Its work. 1t offers ex
cellent courses Of instruction. The
school OF music Is of the conservatory
type. The necessary expenses for board,
laundry, books. fees, fuel, lights,
water, and service average only $lS
per month, less than the average
price of good board.
Parents who contemplate having
their sons or daughters trained as
teachers should SEND for the Normal
catalog. The winter quarter opens

the MEXICAN SITUATION.
LITTLE DEVELOPMENT IN OEET.
CIAL QUARTERS FROM PRE-
VIOUS STATUS.
President Wilson Away from Capital
and Secretary Bryan Refuses to
Give out Any Further Information
OF Intention Of Administration.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The Mexican
situation today was the subject os
widespread comment in Washington,
but the days developments in official
quarters added little of definite or
tangible character concerning the ex-
act status OF affairs. The reports from
Mexico City that d new and somewha,
summary move had been made by the
United States towards the elimination
of Gen. Huerta brought no response
from the state department or other
official sources, beyond a brief state
ment from Secretary Bryan that "no
ultsmatum" had been presented.
Whether some other communication
less drastic than an ultimatum had
been presented. Mr.. Bryan positively
declined to state, maintaining that the
government should be free to shape
it's course Of action on such affairs
without defining each step through
the press.
Secretary Bryan in his statement
declined to discuss the use of the
word "ultimatum" mote" or "advi-
ccs' aging he had no moro to say
an the statement itself conveyed. 1t
was as follows:
Il have made it a rule not to dis
cuss newspaper reports concerning
international matters; but the nature
of the dispatches from Mexico this
morning suggest a departure from the
rule at this time. No ultimatum has
been sent to Mexico and it is unfor-
tunate that the press should give Gre
dence to such a report.
THE harm done by speculation or
even inaccuracies in regard TO do
mestic questions is limited because
the people are acquainted with the
subject and can make allowances; but
as misstatements in regard to interna-
tiOnal matters may lead to serious
consequences, 1 feel justified in max
ing the above denial"
President Wilson left early to cast
his vote in New Jersey, returning late
this evening. Meantime Secretary
Bryan remained at the state depart
ment where there were no signs OF
unwonted activity beyond that con-
stant inquiries concerning the reports
from Mexico City Of another urgent
communication.
In we'll informed quarters it was
admitted that negotiations have been

BRYAN MAKES NO COMMENT.
Declares He VIII Say Nothing Of
Mexican Ultimatum-No News
From White House.

Washington, Nov. 3.--The Associat-
cd Press dispatches from Mexico City
were read To Secretary Bryan over the
telephone shortly after midnight. lie
manifested much interest. but said
he would make no official comment.
All during the evening the secretary
had been expecting Developments and
prepared to stay up late to receive
dispatches. The night operator i'm
the telegraph room OF the state de-
partment. who usually leaves the key
at midnight. was ordered to work
through the night.
News OF the ultimatum had been
expected in official circles. though un-
usual efforts had been made to keep
secret the plans OF the administration.
Early In the evening an intimation
was conveyed To Secretary Bryan by
tho press that some announcement
was expected in Mexico City. He
acquainted President wilson with that
fact, but the president had retired
when the news dispatches came and
was not awakened.
No intimation has been received up
To midnight by the state department
as To what the nature of Huerta's ye.
ply might be and no news had been
received officially that meeting OF
the diplomatic corps had been called
tonight These developments were
awaited with keenest Interest by OH
eials here.
II was reported in diplomatic cir
cics here tonight that copies of the
ultlmatum had been transmitted to
all foreign governments 10y the United
states In line with the policy OF keep
ing them informed of every step taken
I'm the Mexican situation. The ulti

States had asked all nations tu wait

Icy toward Mexico. II vas learned.

proceeding in pursuance Of the presi-
dents determination to secure the
elimination Of Huerta as a factor in
Mexico. That this involved the de-
livery to the Mexican authorities Of
another communication also was ad.
mitted, though it was said this com
municarion did not partake Of the ma
ture of an ultimatum.
This much abused diplomatic term,
it was pointed out, marks q stage in
negotiations where one party notifies
the other that a compliance with GER.
tain demands must be made by a GER
tain fixed hour and date, leaving it to
be inferred that force would be used
If necessary to bring about a compli-
ance. The term often is popularly
used to indicate an urgent diplomatic
communication that in effect is cal
culated to bring the negotiation to u
definite issue, and some, official sug
gested it was probably in this last
sense that the term was used in re-
ports Of action taken at Mexico City.
The correspondence already pub
lished has made it clear that Presi-
dent Wilson has from the beginning
insisted that the United States gov
ernment cannot recognize the legal
ity of Huerta's claim to the presi-
dccy, ard also that the so-called cleo
tions held on October &c in Mexico
fell short Of meeting the Washington
view of the requirements of the con
stituton.
Consequently, it was said today, it
is logical deduction that this last
mote or communication was in the
line of development of a policy which
President Wilson has consistently pur.
sued from the beginning and that in
substance it amounted to q rather
the United States government now
looked to him to meet it's expectation
and give way to regularly constituted
authority calculated to bring peace
to Mexico by commanding the hearty
support Of the factions now at war.
In communicating these views, how
ever, it is said, the officials here are
desirous of having matters proceed in
a normal and nominal manner with
out an Over-emphasis which would
imply that all the resources of diplo-
macy had been exhausted.

Washington. Nov. 3.-A we'll defined
report tonight was current in official
circles to the effect that the United
States had communicated anew to the
Huerta government it's views concern
ing the necessity of Huerta's retire
ment from the presidency.
White House officials would neither
confirm nor deny the report and Sec
retary Bryan was equally reticent The
administration is endeavoring to work
out it's plans in the quiet realm of
diplomacy and to clothe In secrecy
any negotiations it may undertake to
compose the situation.
Outwardly administration officials
view the situation calmly and some
of them express feeling of optimism
over the future. 1t was evident from "a
canvass of administration officials that
published stories predicting armed in
tervention at this time were not justi-
fed. Persons close to the White
House declared that both President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan still were
hopeful that their policy of moral sua-
sion would succeed and added that
any assumption that plans Ger inter-
vention were being laid Was unwar-
ranted.
So Ter as the plans of the admins
tration can be expressed in general
terms. the course that is being pursued,
is subject to change with the shifting
developments Of each day, and high
officials admit that daily different
phases of the situation crop up which
make it impossible to predict even
their own course far in the future
There Is disposition to handle the
present diplomatic efforts by confining
the discussion to informal parleys at
Vera Cruz and Mexico City unem
barrassed by the publication Of any
documents which in the Lind Gam
boa correspondence drew into the
negotiations the public opinion oil
both countries as an important fac
tor. The intention, it Is believed by
trained observers, Is to conduct con-
versations and proposals with the
Huerta officials in secret until there
are tangible developments. This, it is
thought. accounts for the strict reti-
cence maintained in administration
circles for many days.

ICAN SITUATION,

al Politicians are Bringing Order
out Of Chaos i'm Regard to Southern
Republic.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Waiting Cor
word from Provisional President
Huerta-this today was the attitude
of official Washington in the Mexican
situation.
Administration officials still refused
to shed any light on the last COM
munication, which conveyed to Huerta
the desire of the United States that
he eliminate himself from the tangled
situation.
Their attitude was that public, dis
cussion Of the delicate phases of the
problem might defeat the ends sought.
The feeling in the national capital
is one Of tense interest as to what
course will be pursued if Gen. Huerta
declines to abdicate. Today it was
evident to those who talked with
President wilson about the situation
that he was calmly awaiting develop
ments. He has told his friends that
he would continue to solve the situa-
Ion by peaceful means and would not
be disturbed by predictions of armed
intervention.
The belief is general here that the
situation is being worked out with ex.
treme secrecy in diplomatic channels
and that only when some tangible
conclusion has been reached will there
be any official announcements. There
was no collective opinion in official
circles as to what Huerta's reply to
the American representations might
be. No one ventured predictions, and
so far as could be learned no intima-
tiOns had been received as to Huerta's
future attitude.
