WOMEN TEACHING IN FRANCE

WOMEN TEACHING IN FRANCE.
1t is estimated that 1900 women
nave entered the teaching profession
IN france since the beginning of the
war, taking the places of men both
IN primary and advanced schools. 1t
was a decided innovation, for men
mad almost uniformly been the teach
Aers OF France. The women are said.
however, to be giving entire satisfac-
uon In their new work. In the uni
versities the entrance of the students
INTO the war so reduced attendance
that the classes could be provided for
by the older members of the regular
teaching staffs, and women have not
peen needed there. This is another field
IN which the war brings about revolu-
uon, says Indianapolis Star. In France,
England and Germany women have en-
tered the industries and occupations
heretofore monopolized by men to an
extent not formerly dreamed of and
nave met the requirements. 1t APP
pears now that they are doing profess
sional work that is expected of wom-
en- as matter of course In the United
States, but which in France means a
decided social and educational de-
parture. 1t is not to be expected that
the women will all retire from these
callings when the war is over, or that
their retirement will be desired, ex-
cept in certain heavy lines of manual
labor. New ideas, new methods, new
growth, will be one of the results of
this change of customs-an outcome Of
the war not looked for.
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1919-02-18

Among the new industries developed
In the United States on account OF the
European war is that of supplying by.
droid for the trimming of women's
hats. Hydroid is an animal growth

Baltic Dried and treated chemically
it makes a fluffy decoration employed
in the millinery trade. When the i'm

Chesapeake baywas searched andfound
to yield hydroids which fishermen were
glad to harvest and sell at the rate OF
two hundred and fifty dollars ton. II
isn't a great matter standing alone.
perhaps: but as one of many new in
dustries which have sprung up in this
country since the beginning of the war
1t is not unworthy of note.

BICYCLES ARE POPULAR
DOWN IN MEXICO CITY

MEXICO CITY, Dec, 9.-Automobiles,
motorcycles and other gasoline driven
vehicles have not desposed the plebian
bicycle as the most popular means OF
locomotion in Mexico City. Business
men use them to go to work, govern
ment employees bowl along on them by
the score, school children prefer them
to street cars and the omnibuses. The
old time bicycle club OF 20 years ago
f1ourishes here and it Is no uncommon
sight to see a nartv of men and women
in the conventional riding garb taking
a spin over the w~ell-paved streets OF
the capital. ,
Numerous avs have been passed
regulating the use of bicycles. They
must be equipped with front and rear
lights Of a designated color, brakes,
horns and whistles. Some of the more
fancy ones bear flags, coat Of arms and
a holder for the inevitable walking stick
| affected by every real gentleman in the
capital. 1t is not to see a
| bicycle carrying at least twice its, orig
| inal cost in equipment.
But with bicvcles as with automobiles
there Is no speed limit. Bicycle riders
and their daredevil companions, the
| drivers Of the automobile buses, con-
| tinue to be the terror Of pedestrians.

TEACHERS BRAINS NOT
 RATED HIGH, SHOWN BY WHAT ARIZONA PAYS

Arizona's market for brains, as evil denced by the annual report of C. O. Case, state school superintendent, is slightly better than the states market for office boys, but considerably weaker than the market for master janitors. School teachers, the report says, average monthly from S63.41 in Apache county up to s103.S3 in Gila t,ounty, the averages being based on the 12 months of every year in which teachers have to eat, instead of on the nine months term
 Super -brained principals and assist ant principals range from $S0.77 in Graham county up to $14S.95 in Yava- pal county. The real highbrows of the state, such as school superintend7 : ents and principals in cities and towns get some rather princely salaries, Pima's superintendent getting $500 a month on a 12 month basis. although S200 is about the average for all the counties The superintendent Of schools for Apache county averages Ss2 a month

 The state superintendent holds that the rate of increase in teachers ex- penses since five yesns ago has been about so per cent. while the rate of salary increase has been much lower. The rate of salary increases for super ntendents and principals in cities and towns is placed by him at 4e per cent, while teachers are getting about 23 per cent more than formerly. Teach CTS in one room schools, he says are getting about 20 per cent more than they did. In a few instances. the su- psrintendent reports. salaries were boosted little since the compiling of the annual statement.
 Besides it's grade school teachers, principals and superintendents. the
