most part the so-called base ball slang
is simply clever metaphor which not
only makes the accounts OF the game
more amusing, but more graphic as
well. No one would have TO be very
deeply versed in base ball lore to see
why the ball should be referred TO as
1.-THE pill" or why batting the ball over
the fence should be called polling 1t

Teachers of Agriculture Better Paid


1t pays to teach agriculture. Ac-
eording to bulletin just issued by the
United States Bureau of Education,
the teacher of agriculture in the high
school usually receives a considerably
higher salary than the teacher of 9TH
Ter subjects. The most usual salary for
male teachers in high schools in the
United States is 500, but for teachers
|of agriculture in the group studied the
most usual salary was $1,000.
Lack of teachers" is the explana
tion offered to account for the relative
lp higher remuneration for those who
teach agriculture. When the subject
WAS first introduced into the schools a
short summer course provided suffici-
lent training, but with the extension Of
the work to include several years
careful high school study under scien-
|tific farming conditions, there has come
Ia demand for trained agricultural
ply. Furthermore, many of the states
are giving aid to local high schools for
instruction. SO that thess
schools are able to pay better salaries
for teachers of agriculture than fol
teachers of other branches
Not orly is it found that the average
pay of special instructors in agricul-
|ture is higher than of other teachers
but that teachers who are able To give
such instruction in addition to regular
work command better salaries thar
they otherwise would and are NOR,
likely to be advanced to principalship
than if they did not have the agricul
| ture.
Better pay for teachers of agricultur
is only one of many indications of tn
remarkable growth in Importance o

FIVE years. Agriculture had bee
taught here and there in the school

In the year 1906-07 there were about

agricultural instructions: in 1910 abou
1900 schools reported to the Bureau O
Education that agriculture was laugh
as a separate study in the high schoc
