Tor men and measures marked out for
some political or monetary end. School
teachers must vote according to the
dictates of the boss or lose their
jobs, and woe indeed to propose the
formation of an organization to which
only school teachers should be per-
nlitted, and whose slogan should be
equal pay for equal work and an hon

A year ago, when we were fighting
the iniquitous ten-mill tax, which was
shenanegined on the people of Flor
ida, We denounced the Florida Edu-
cational Association as a political Or
ganiaztion, but received no help,
rather the opposition of the Metrop-
OILS and the Tribune. 1t gives US
some satisfaction to see them repeat
some of our remarks as their own.

DOVER. Del. oct. i&.-In canyasslng
public sentiment regarding the new

the assertion that while school taxes
have been increased the people are not
getting any better schools or any better
teachers. These assertions are true In
some cases: I'm some cases they are not.
Conditions vary. What Is true in one
district is not true in another.
In many districts there is the same
teacher OF previous years. "Why is
she worth more this year than she was
last year?' ask the critics OF the new
law.
In other districts maybe more money
is paid, but the teacher Of this year
isn't as good as the old one. why is
this ?" ask people. why pay more for
a poorer teacher? Why increase our
taxes and then give US less for our
money!"
The same law OF wages, high cost OF
living and scarcity Of labor which has
hit the farmer Of Delaware during the
last IS months has also hit the public
school system. u would have hit the
public school system II the new school
law had never been heard OF.
