An Apology From Turkey.

London.-The grand vizier of Tur-
key has apologized on behalf of his
government for the warlike opera
lions of the Turkish fleet under Ger
man commanders in the Black Sea,
but it was said authoritatively Mon
day the porte will have to go very
much farther than this before the
powers of the triple entente will agree
to resume friendly relations with the
Ottoman government.
1t was explained in a statement is
sued by the French government Mon
day that Turkey, in reply to a note
presented by Russia, France and En-
gland on Friday last, agreed to recall
her fleet from the Black Sea, but re-
fused to dismiss the German officers
from her ships, and that, as it was
believed she could not maintain a pas
sive attitude without doing this, the
ambassadors of the entente powers
demanded their passports and left
Turkey.
There was every reason TO believe
that, despite the apology Of the grand
vizier, which it is understood comes
from the peace party in the Turkish
cabinet and may not be adhered to by
Enver Pasha, the minister of war, and
his Young Turk followers. France,
Russia and Great Britain not only will
demand reparation for the warlike OPP
arotionc of tho Turkish fleet in the
Black Sea, but will insist that Tur-
keys entire fleet, or at any rate the
cruisers Goeben, Breslau and Hami-
dieh, be put out of commission until
after the war, Turkeys security being
guaranteed in the meantime.

Trade Unionism Has a History That
Dates Back to Genesis.
Unionism is not an interloper. 1t
has not entered the modern field of in
duStry as an innovation. 1t has his
tory as long as the human race. While
the labor union as an institution is of
comparatively modern origin, from the
days of Moses and perhaps before at
tempts have been made through vari-
Gus means to regulate and improve the
condition of the workers of society.
Labor leads back to Genesis. Since
man began to eat bread in the "sweat
of his brow" labor has been human
problem. The historian has not seen
fit to say much about it, for the ancient
worker was not looked upon as a max
er of history. The common conflict of
the olden days was that by which
man secured the right to live. The
clash of arms in primitive societies
means physical development, and all
the struggle for existence meant this
The change gradually came to the
world from militancy to industrialism,
not the struggle for existence. but the
struggle for subsistence"
Ruskin defines labor. He says, la
Dor is the contest of the life of man
with an opposite" The lot of the la
borer is one of struggle. He has to
win his way. He is no social pet The
man with the hoe" has to hoe his
own row."
The weapons of the worker may be
in some cases crude, but they are
welded by hands reaching out toward
ideals of advancement Individual, do
nestle and social betterment is the in
centive. Had the worker been insensi-
BILE to such incentive slavery and serf-
dom would be the lot of the man of

SCHOOLTEACHERS' WAGE.
Unequal Pay For Equal Work the Rule
Throuqhout Nation.

Wide variation in the pay for the
same or similar work is one of the
most striking situations revealed by
the investigation of teachers salaries
Just completed by the United States
bureau of education. Public elemen-
tary schooteachers may receive $1,000
year. as some do in New York city,
or $45 a year. as in certain rural COM
munities. Even in cities Of the same
class there are considerable differences
in the salaries paid teachers. On the
administrative side there are county
superintendent with pay ranging from
S115 to $4,000 per annum and college
presidents receiving salaries all the
way from 5000 to $12,40O.
In city school systems salaries have
increased steadily in recent years, par
ticularly In the western states, and, in
general, salaries in city school systems
are fairly well standardized. The av-
erage salary of the superintendent Of
schools in cities of over 100000 popu-
lation is S7,179; the range is from
81 900 to $4,000. In the same group
Of cities high school principals average
Sc, 565 and elementary teachers $1.O1S.
Even in the smallest cities listed, those
between 5000 and 10000 population.
salaries are fairly uniform. The maxi
mum for superintendent in this group
is $1,000 and the average $1.915. but
elementary teachers show an annual
average Of 1888. with salaries as high
as 81 $50 and as low as $1O4.
! It is in the colleges and universities
that the widest variation prevails. The
salaries Of men with the rank Of PRO
fessor" range from $3.50 to $500.
professors" in some institutions re-
ceive less than INSTRUCTORS" or even
assistants in others. Salaries Of
deans Of these institutions vary from
$500 to $1,000. University teachers of
subjects for which there is direct COM
mercial demand outside receive some
what higher salaries than those in
charge Of the traditional academic sub
jects, but the difference is less than
might be expected
The highest average salaries for full
professors are paid in law and civil en-
cheering. Law claims the highest
paid professorship in any subject. with
one salary of $500; but there are pro-
fessors of physics. geology and Latin
who receive $1,000. 1t is significant,
however. that on the basis of the fig
ures reported most college teaching,
particularly in the first two years. is
done by men of instructor grade. with
salaries of $1,000 to $1,000, or by as
sistants who receive on an average
about $500. usually for half time serv-
