DO MARRIED WOMEN MAKE THE
BEST TEACHERS?

marin" and "spinster" are synony-
nous. Perhaps too frequently in the
past the women who have taken up
teaching as profession, especially in
rural districts, have been those who
sought this way of earning living in
order that they might avoid the re-
sponsibilities of marriage. Such at
least, we're told is the case by MEM
Der of the New York City board of
education recently in upholding a
move to encourage the appointment
of women teachers in the public
schools.
1.-THE mother who has reared chill
dren is desirable in the public
schools" he went on to say. Il would
make mothers the presidents of col
leges and exclude spinsters. / would
encourage mothers who have reached
the age of forty, and even give them
a bonus for their services. The aim
of educational institutions should be

This idea of utilizing the services OF
mothers over forty in educational
work is one that is attracting consid-
cradle interest The main objection
with married teachers in the past has
been that the woman who was busy
in the class room could not give her
time to the duties of motherhood and
the mother of children, if attempting
to hold down" a position as teacher,
could not do justice to her school
work.
But the woman whose children no
longer need her constant care, the
woman whose experience with chill
dren of her own has deepened and de-
veloped her understanding of child
hood is, according to this new advo-
cate of the married teacher, just the
person who can heln the schools the
most.
AS a matter of fact, many women
of this class who might make excel
lent teachers are simply wasting their
time in a round of petty social and

five years later. Emily Pfeiffer's educa-
ton was necessarily limited owing to
family reverses and although she devoted
much OF her time to study she was not
able to make up for her deficiencies in
early life. At IS she married a German
merchant residing in London, and four
years later she made her first attempt
at writing. but was convinced from the
result of her effort that her education
was deficient. Always true to her lit
erary ambition she devoted many years
to study and finally at IS. having ac-
complished her educational ambition. be-

published attracted great praise, and
were compared with those of Mrs. Brown

advocated change in women's costume.
After the death of her husband she de-
voted a great deal OF money to charity
and to the work of the suffragists and
was closely identified with the suffrage
movement in England.
Mary Walker was one OF the first
women physicians in this country, hav-
ing graduated from the Syracuse Medi-
cal College when she was 3 years old.
She devoted her skill and time to the
wounded soldiers at the time OF the civil

HISTORY BUILDERS.
BY DIR. 4. J. EDWARDS.
When the American Republic Proved
Unerateful.

Some time in the spring of 1855. in a
brief chat which j had with Henry L.
Dawes. then United States Senator from
Massachusetts, he spoke to me of his in
terest in the completion of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. saying that it had at
last lived down all its difficulties and was
about to celebrate the driving OF the last
spike, a ceremony which he had been in
vited to witness.
Il never think of the construction of
the railroads that have been carried over
the mountains, across the deserts and at
last have reached their terminals upon
the Pacific coast without sometimes con-
templating that there may be some truth
in the remark that republics are migrate
full" he said Il do not think the people
give sufficient tribute to the men who
have accomplished such great things for
the United States while these men are
living.
Take the case OF Cakes Ames. There
is a man to whom more, perhaps, than to
any other one man the nation owes the
completion OF the Union Pacific Railroad
His bravery in that undertaking was I'M
surpassed by that of any other American
who undertook great things. 1t was his
persistence and courage which am sure
will justify the people hereafter in speak
ing OF him as the builder of the Union
Pacific Railroad.
You remember what a great hue and
cry was made at the time of the govern
ment investigation OF the Union Pacific
Construction Company and the humilia-
ton to which Mr.. Ames was subjected
by the action of Congress. As a matter
of fact. Mr. Ames' interest in that con-
struction company was n very small
one-I think about one-eighth. Yet he
entered into personal obligation by which
he would be responsible for the entire
cost He actually subscribed nearly
s., 00O. CO., and without that subscription
doubt il at the time private capital could
have been secured in sufficient amount TO
complete the road His obligations COM
PEELED him to use his credit and his abil-
Ity in order to pay every dollar that he
owed. How small his interest was in the
construction company may be inferred
from a fact-which get from the high
est authority-that although he was per-
sonally responsible for the execution OF
the contract, nevertheless his share in
the profits. il there were any, would have
been only one-eighth. Others who had
seven-eighths.
II am sure that the. time will come
when the name of Oakes Ames will be
honorably associated with the building
and completion OF the first of the Pacific
railroads. but there was a time when
the republic, as the proverb points out
seemed to have no sense OF gratitude to-
ward him."
