THE CAUSE oF OBLIGATION

TNLSEWHERE E in this issue a school
IT. teacher, writing to the editor.
endorses the Telegraph's plea
for twelve months pay for teachers.
Yesterday there appeared in this
newspaper announcement of the
organization of the Pennsylvania
League of Education and one of the
stated objects of this association is the
enactment of laws requiring school
teachers to be paid for the full year,
instead of merely for the teaching
period. The League is made up of
business and professional men. Both
teachers and those in other walks OF
life, therefore. have the common
knowledge that to teach requires con-
stant training and that the schools
would profit immeasurably if teach
ers were paid for the vacation period
and could give that time to study
and cultural pursuits If the new
League brings this about it will have
accomplished n big thing.
The need of education, at least for
a part of society, has been recognized
from time immemorial and has been
provided in manner consistent with
the ideals of every age. There never
was a more complex age than the
present. Grave problems confront us
Civilization itself is in the balance
Christianity is put hard to the test
Whatever shall help to solve the ques-
tions of our age, we are convinced that
education must after all be a primary
means. The human mind has in it a
world of possibilities, but possibilities
must be realized to avail. When these
are called forth to consciousness, they
and achieve its realization.
What we now are as a people is
due largely to the ideals of Christian
education. The Pilgrim Fathers laid
down the proper basis of popular
education in the General Court OF
Massachusetts in 1647, when they SCI
forth the decree: that learning may
not be buried in the grave of ou,
fathers, in the church and Common.

deavors; it is therefore ordered, that
every township in this Jurisdiction, a.

forthwith appoint one within theil

shall resort to him to write ant

The best is none too good for oul
boys and girls. Two months of train
ing are not too much for ten month.

THE NEW STRAW LID
BY Wing DinEer

Dressed UP in my new suit Sunday
Went out walking, and soon saw
That in head dress was faulty
That I should have had a straw
In place of my old style felt hat;
So at once made up my mind
That to store I'd on Monday,
new straw sky-piece to find.
Did as I'd made up my mind to,

Tried on straw lids, plain and fancy,
And from out a score or more

dollars;
But that didn't make me vince

Continental Talk
Boston Post


At the meeting in Buenos Aires, re-
Gently there was suggested method
of radio communication between the
countries of this hemisphere which
has received approval by our State de-
partment. This, as outlined in the
statement made in the United States
Senate, seems to have the elements of
practicability and efficiency.
1t is proposed to divide the territory
embraced in the American republics
into zones of radio communication,
with one control station for each zone,
which latter will receive and relay
radiograms to destination as may be
necessary and in accordance with spe-
cific regulations drawn up by the COM
mittee.
There will be one main station for
the entire hemisphere located as near
ly central position geographically
with reference to all the American re-
publics as may be practicable.
The solidarity of this western con-
tinent has been intimated or advanced
by nothing mo"e directly practical
than this project.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

159 Paxton street,

To The Editor of the Telegraph:
The teachers of Harrisburg appre-
ciate your editorial of April Is, which
advocated twelve months salary for
us.
The general public needs to be en-
lightened in school matters. While
Harrisburg teachers are not paid for
holidays, we are allowed half-pay for
four weeks sickness. but in many
cities teachers are paid for days Of
actual teaching only.
The report of the investigation of
the Russell Sage Foundation says that
Pennsylvania stands thirteenth in the
matter OF teachers salaries Little
wonder that the neighboring States
draw off the cream of our profession!
According to averages a bricklayer
gets twice as much as a school teacher
and the trainman more than the col
lege professor. Teachers ought to be
regarded as salaried men and women,
not as day laborers. Three-fourths of
the teachers salary is needed for the
necessities of life. What is left for
higher culture?
When the glad day comes that we
get twelve months pay, then we can
afford to seek the culture necessary to
our profession at summer schools in
travel, and in all avenues which recu-
perate our mental and physical energy.
In return for all this consideration
the public will receive Its recompense
in better teaching. Every child de-
serves happy teacher, and how can
a teacher be happy If she is harassed
by thoughts of how to make ends meet
and fearing an old age of dependence
Very respectfully yours,
Elizabeth S. Baker.
President of Teachers League OF Har-
risburg.

The primary system Of to-day is
the biggest fraud ever conceived
in the name OF reformation. I will

The primary plan was doubtless
conceived in good intentions. as
abuses did exist in the old conven-

those abuses In a common sense
way?

make in Dauphin county elections next

have made up the ballot say. and just
what benefit is to be derived therefrom
nobody, even the trainers of the

CANDY PISTOL IS
TOO MUCH JOKE
ATLANTA YOUTH MUST PAY FOR
HIS FUN WITH NEGRO
BOY.

ATLANTA, June LIT may have
been as Joe said, that he was just
joking. But the socalled joke, which
consisted in holding up Will Brown
negro boy, and backing him fully
a block. was carried too far, in the
opinion of the court. Half a block
would have been quite far enough,
Judge Johnson considered.
Joe-his other name is Hargroves,
and he lives at Pratt and Armstrong
street-offered in his own defense
a large glass imitation revolver, cal
bre (abouD rs, and formerly loaded
with candy which he said was the
weapon used in turning Brown white.
The negro youth was not positive
about the general description of the
gun. He had noticed particularly
the opening in the barrel, which he
said looked about the size of a rail
way tunnel, in which, he added, he
could plainly perceive tombstones and
weeping willows.
Judge Johnson was moved by this
testimony and that Of Officers Sprat-
ling and Evans to make the bond
800.

now owned by the county Will net

The County Commissioners yester'
day issued the following statement re-
garding the deal:
"After a full examination OF the
figures submitted showing the
assets and earnings OF the or.
