BREAD AND BUTTER QUESTION

The teaching profession is a no.
BILE, charitable one, but are you con-
tent to work in the charity depart
ment Of your state when they allow
you no pension or protection in old
age? Are you willing to go into the
great broad fields of business where
you can lay up something for
rainy day, and provide your own pro-
lection for old age? Six thousand
teachers quit the profession in Texas
annually. Can you blame them when
you compare their annual earning ca.
pacity with that Of any other class
of eudcated men or women? The
bookkeeper, stenographer, private
secretary, or operator, as beginner,
months in obtaining his education af-
gets from $4,000 to $500 per
month, twelve months in the year,
and soon receives an advance in sal
airy and it is not long if they are
made of the right kind of stuff before
they are promoted to assistant man.
ager. or manager of large business
concern, or engage N business TO-
themselves and are thereby enabled
to lay up a comfortable living for
old age. Make a comparison of the
teacher, who after graduating from
the high school spends from one to
two years in the State Normal and
hundreds Of dollars preparing him
self, and has been teaching five years
in the public schools, with the book
keeper, stenographer, or operator who
had only spent from three to six
ter graduating from high school, and
| from one HUNDRED to two hundred
dollars and has had five years expert
ence in the business world, and you
will find that the one who has spent
only a few months in obtaining his
education and small amount Of
money is drawing twice the sal
ary Of the teacher regardless
Of the fact that the teacher spent
more time and money in the prepa
ration for their life work. More ev
jdence on this subject can be had BY
writing the Tyler Commercial Col
lege at Tyler, Texas, for their larg'
illustrated catalogue giving full par
ticulars Of Americas largest com
mercial training school, with NOR
than two thousand enrollments an
nually and reading what teachers "a!
who have attended this institution
Of the advantages it offers to thos
entering the business world wher
they can greatly increase their earn
ing capacity, enabling them to ow'
homes Of their own and enjoy tn
comforts that should rightly b
theirs.

MILITARY TRAINING IN
TIE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Military training in the schools
conceived as military training is unde-
Srable anu unavailng; military tram
ing conceived as comprehensive pro-
gam OIL physical, moral and CIVIC eo-
LCatlon Is desirable and even neCes-
sary," declares Dr.. w. S. Small in
chapter on educational hygiene in the
annual report or the Commissioner
OF Education, Department of the In
terror.
DR.. Small points out that military
training thus conceived "offers a pos
sibility of uniifying and enrolling the
now confused and disjointed activi-
ties in the field of physical and moral
discipline. The physical and moral
values of both gymnastics and athlet-
les are well understood, but both lack
comprehensive and unifying motive.
All systems of gymnastics are indi.
viduaEstic. Their appeal is to the
desire Of the individual for physcal
perfection. Competition is narrowly
Individualistic. Systems of athletic.
are mostly based upon group compe.
titions, and if properly managed are
'ery valuable, not only for physical
development but also for training in
tie very fundamentals of social mo-
ra!ity. But the philosophy Of ath.
'etics is the philosophy Of playa
philosophy that is not comprehensive
''orrh to serve as a sole basis Of
"hysi1al ard moral education. Mill
ary training rightly conceived in
tudeS these motives and subordinates
them to the ideal Of patriotism"
The report describes and discusses
tie so-cslled Wyoming plan" orig
mated by Capt. E. 2. Steever, U. s.
A., outlines the plans of the New
York military commission in relation
&c physical training, and analyses the
relation of military training to school
organization, concluding that military
training in the strict and technical
sense, will not be grated upon the
schools, but military training in the
sense Of a comprehensive program
fer physical, moral, and civic 'educa.
ton in which some appropriate mil
ttary affairs may be included is likely
to find its way into all schools"
