Supt. Schulz Gives
School Statistics
Many Thousands of Children Now
Attending Schools of State; Mems
Salaries Are Highest

State superintendent gives Pioneer
Press interesting figures regarding
the Minnesota schools:
Number of teachers 1859 1854
Ratio of men to
women ........ i to 2.5 1 to ia
Av'ge women's wage 1898 $4,000
Av'ge mans wage $1938 $500

No. school houses. 585 8,943
| Value of school
houses ....... .$92, 1896 $40, 961 1886
| The advance of woman in the edu-
cational field is shown strikingly in
statistics made public yesterday by
c. G. Schulz, state superintendent of
education.
His figures relate to the common
or county schools, which are super
vised by county superintendent.
The tables show that there are
ten times as many women teachers
in the common schools than there
were ffty-two years ago. The num-
Der of men teachers increased less
than 100 per cent.
Woman First Teacher
Time was when it was thought that
only a man could teach the youth of
the country. But Minnesota parents
early realized that woman could
be just as capable as a man. In fact
the first school teacher in Minnesota
was a woman, Harriet Bishop. She
came to st. Paul from Vermont, by
way of Cincinnati by steamer in
1847.
Building Log House
The only available school building
was log cabin ten feet long and
twelve feet wide, which formerly
had been used as blacksmith shop.
1t was there Miss Bishop began her
work.
Just fifteen years later there were
800 women and $50 men teaching in
the common schools of the state. Min
nesota even was then setting the pace
in educational matters, which has put
the state in the front rank of the
states in this regard. That was in
1862.
By 1864, 100 men and $40 women
had been added to the teaching staff
of the common schools.
In 1914 the number of teachers in
creased to S8,954. The pupils have
increased from 32,56O to 457,O41.
Today there the eleven women
teachers to every schoolman in the
common schools.
$40 Average Monthly Wage
Women teachers we1e apparently
not worth much when the Indians
romped on Minnesota soil. Mr.. |
Schultz's figures show they were paid
$40 month on the average. But the
men got twice as much. Today the
men get S58 month on the average
in the county schools. The women
get $40 month on the average. The
difference between the wage the wom-
en- teachers got in 1862, as compared
to men, has been cut down from twice
as much to one-fifth.
Increase in School Houses
Distributed among the log house
settlements of 1862 were 585 school |
houses. Now we have close to 10000 !
modern buildings housing the school
children. The value of these school |
houses has increased from $92,996 to

Every wife should be a helpmate
to her husband. For instance, if you
have the pleasures of large washing
before you and he has the laborious
task of going to the city OR taking
a trip through the country, change
work with him: let him help you wash
in the forenoon and you help him
ride in the afternoon.

10000 VETERANS TO BE IN LINE

At the 5Oth Anniversary of the Grand Re.
view, which is to be one of the Features
of the G. A. r. Encampment.
In the celebration of the Fiftieth an.
nlversary of the Grand Review, which is
one of the principal features of the
forthcoming annual encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic to be held
in Washington, Sept. 27th-Oct. Sd, no.
600 marchers will pass in line before the
President of the United States and his
cabinet. This was the announcement
made Monday by Col. George A. Bosley
of Boston, the national chief of staff,
who is in Washington making arrange
ments for the event.
The grand review of the victorious
veterans of the Civil war which occur
red in Washington Immediately follow
ing the close of the great struggle was
one of the most spectacular military IN
cidents in the history of the world. 1t
was the most impressive pageant which
had ever occurred in warfare up to that
time, and elaborate preparations have
been made by the old soldiers to COM
memorate it at their coming encamp-
ment. The line of march will be from
the capitol to the White House along
historic Pennsylvania avenue which to-
day presents a vastly different appear
ance from what it was half century
ago when the returning warriors passed
in grand review before President John
son, his cabinet and the general staff of
the Army. 1t will rival any inaugural
parade which the city has ever witness
ed.
The greater portion of the marchers
will be veterans of the blue, most of
whom participated in the march so years
ago, but it will also include those who
belonged to various army corps which
did not take part in the concluding event
of the Civil war. Augmenting the vet
Grams will be the Sons of Veterans and
kindred organizations as we'll as troops
from the regular army, members of the
marine corp, sailors from battleships,
cadets, and Independent military bodies
as well as civilian escorts.
Washington citizens have perfected all
arrangements for entertaining and hous-
ing the large number of veterans and
their families as we'll as the great num-
Der of visitors who are coming to par
ticipate in or witness the event.

491 were steamers of 87O,662 tons and
275 sailing vessels of 1874, 45O tons. This
is an increase over the figures of 1913 of
338, 900 tons and is due almost wholly to
war operations.
The United Kingdom lost 101 vessels

WOULD HAVE TO HAVE
AID OF "DAL," THOUGH
This Might Not Be Forthcom-
ing, However-Then There
Are the Democrats.

Contingent upon Republican con-
troll of the next Common Council,
Mayor Thomas L. Raymond is groom
ing his secretary, E. Erie Moody, to
succeed Comptroller Tyler Parmly.
That the mayor still has ambitions
TO be the guiding spirit in his party,
despite the recent primaries and his
I'm glad to be here again" speech to
Dars county committee, is indicated
by the Moody boom. Doubt is ex-
pressed that the Republican members
of Common Council would follow the
mayors lead upon the comptroller
ship, and even graver doubts are en-
tertained that the 1916 Common Coun-
Gil will be Republican. In fact, the
latter is considered such a remote
possibility that many have refused
to accept the talk of Mr.. Moody as
serious.
Mr.. Moody is having his first ex-
perienc Elm politics and public life
now. He was appointed secretary
to the mayor ON January !, and had
been active in the campaign result
ing in Mr. Raymond's nomination and
election. In the recent unsuccessful
battle against Dalrymple and the
Republican organization, Mr.. Moody
was one of the mayors counselors
The Republican party, in view of
these facts, would scarcely regard Mr..
Moodys candidacy as in keeping with
the mayors surrender at the meeting
of the Republican county committee
and his promises to be good here
after.
