The Public School Problem.

We have in the public schools OF this
County at the present time TWO nun
dred and twenty-eight teachers, one
hundred and seventy-three of them IN
the white schools and fifty-tive IN the
colored schools. Of this number TWEEN
tv receive q salary of s25. on per month.
twenty-six receive $27. 90, nine receive
1876. 90 and thirty-seven receive $3l; oo.
The highest salary paid to teacher
of the elementary grades 10 $oo.oo per
month. Only few principals OF the
large graded schools receive this
amount. The average salary OF the
coIored teachers is $27. 81. That of the
white teachers, exclusive OF those IN
the high schools. is $48. g.
The State requirements in the way
of educational and professional prepa-
ration of the teacher has been greatly
increased by the new educational law.
In order TO hold even second grade
certificate one must have spent four
wears in high school, six weeks In an
snnroyed summer school and must nave
successfully passed the state examina-
tions. A first grade certi1cate requires
graduation from q normal school or the
equivalent in scholastic preparation.
There certificates entitle the noIoer 20
teach 40 an assistant or prlncipal OF
one or two teacher school. The princi-
pal of large schools and teachers In
high schools must be college graduates.
The necessary expenditure OF Teach
er has increased enormously IN the last
year or two. One teacher IN the coun,
ty pays S29. 90 per month for board ano
81. 80 per month for carfare, an nc
paws $40. 90 for board and $6.4O for
carfare In both cases board could not
be obtained within walking distance OF
the school. At another school Two
teachers occupying one small room with
no conyeniences whatever, paw 500
per month each. Many teachers pay
81. 90 and S. 90 per week from Monday
TO Friday. One school has not been
opened because it has been found i'm
possible to find boarding place fer the
teacher. d. {. -, -
The substantial increase In the wages
paid in other lines Of work and especial
ly the attractive offers of the Federal
Government are fast robbing our coun
ty of its efficient and enterpfixinG
teachers. More have left in the last
two months than in any two years
previously. 1t 10 impossible to secure
experienced or professionally trained
teachers to take their places.
The taxpayers Of the county are,
probably, more prosperous at this time
than ever before. The prices OF agri-
cultural products are higher than they
have, been for generations. Money -
plentiful and remunerative employment
10 early to find.
In view Of these facts. the teachers
of the county at the meeting OF their
association on the 18th of Oct. have re-
spectfully asked the County Commiss-
toner's for levy of at least so cents on
the $10O. 90 for school purposes.

These words are the first that
appear in the very quaint diary Of
that old puritan New England divine.
Cotton Mather, regarding the lovely
young lady who later became his
wife. Cotton Mather. in spite Of his
rigid Puritan ways. was deeply in
love as can be seen by frequent pas
sages from his diary and was as
eager 10 wed the young woman he
admired as any ardent cavalier of
less rigid standards. Following his
Puritan habits, however, Mather
made the affair "A subject of
prayer for a quarter Of a year. No
doubt he pursued an ardent court
snip at the same time, for when the
quarter of a year had expired he was
married. AS he says in his diary at

with a heavy meal. Many country
folk, who have all. the milk and TO
spare that they can possibly use,
have a habit of Shrinking milk as
other folk would take weak tea or
water-simply as an adjunct to the
meal. What these folk should re-
member is that milk is a food, and
not strictly speaking a beverage at
all. II ought never TO be drunk
with a meal unless the meal is other
wise light. To take it in connection
with meats and starchy vegetables in
large amounts is extremely unwise,
as we'll as wasteful-fOr thus il gives
the system more nourishment than
il needs.
Sometimes even when taken with
a light repast or when taken alone
milk causes discomfort. This is often
due TO the fact that the milk is taken
too cold or too hurriedly. Milk ought
not 10 be chilled before being drunk.
1t should be kept on the ice, of
course, but il should not be served at
quite so low a temperature as it is
when first taken from the ice box.
Under no circumstances should ice
be added to il. And never take milk
merely 10 quench the thirst. For
fear of drinking it too rapidly one
should make a rule never to drink
milk until the thirst has been fairly
we'll satisfied by water.
But when taken not too cold and
not too rapidly and not in conjunc-
ton with too hearty a meal milk
sometimes disagrees. In this case
make a practice of adding a tea
spoonful of lime water to every glass
or taking it with an admixture of
vichy which renders the milk lighter
and more easily digested.

THE BEST OF ALL FOODS.

Not long ago it was pointed out by
students of the high cost of living
that in spite of the increased cost
milk was still by far the cheapest
Of our staple foods. and that even
when one paid for the highest grade
Of milk there was decided advantage
both from the point Of economy and
wholesomeness in using as much as
possible in the diet, either in cooking
in com animation with other foods or
in its original guise.
Often we fail to appreciate milk.
We take the daily and prompt visits
Of the milk man and all the cOmpli-
Gated organization of the milk deal
ers that brings fresh, pure milk to us
within a few hours Of the time il is
collected, much as a matter of
course. Yet there is not a meal in
which we do not have milk in some
form. Cakes and breads, if home
made, or if properly made, all con-
tain more or less milk. Butter could
not be but for milk. Vegetables are
made richer in nourishment and
more appetizing when prepared with
milk and more and more we are
coming 10 value the use o. milk in
the preparation of gravieg, sauces
and other meat adjuncts.
In Japan where milk is a rarity it
is so highly valued that it is given as
medicine and when so taken is
measured with the greatest accuracy
and taken, in teaspoOnfuls. or what
ever is the usual medicine measure
of the Japs. just as we would take
olive oil or sherry.
Many people regard milk as un-
wholesome when taken as beverage
and so il may be when combined
