Teachers worthy OF places In the
schools in which American children
are prepared for life. for making a

In money. Men and women worthy OF
this highest OF all csllings will not
think nrst OF pay in money or in any
other form. For teachers. as for all
other workers, Ruskin's saying holds:

WORKERS PAID LARGELY IN KIND
II has even been and probably
must always be that workers OF
whatever sort receive the largest
part OF their pay in kind. as millers
take toll OF the grist they grind.
Those that work with material things
that have easily measured cash values
receive their pay chiefly in money or
in things whose values are most
easily measured in money. Other re-
wards will be less in proportion and
in Importance. Those who work
largely for other than the material
results that can be measured by
money must continue to be content
to receive large part OF their pay
in the consciousness of work well
done for a worthy cause. and in par
ticipation. by faith at least. in the re-
suits. both near and far away in time
and in space.

such salaries as will bring into the

OF the best native ability. men and
women strong and well organized
physically, mentally and spiritually;
men and women OF the finest culture
and the most thorough and compre-
hensive education, academic and pro

as to enable them To hold all those
who show themselves most capable
snd best fitted for the work. In this
most important OF all our enterprises
we cannot AFFORD to pay less.
MANY ABLE MEN HAVE TAUGHT.
Our traditional policy OF paying to
young and inexperienced men and
women with little or no question as
to their professional preparation
salaries almost as large as we pay
to those. who have bad many years
OF successful experience had at least
one merit. 1t brought into the
schools large numbers OF young men
and women OF unusual native ability
and OF strong character, and some
times such men and women having
also good scholarship and fine cul

they could while saving from their
comparatively good wages money TO
start them in business or home max

themselves for those professions Tor
which adequate preparation Is re-
Quired and demanded. Many or the
ablest men and women in all walks
OF life have been school teachers.

There are few cities in America

practically every kind of instruction
for which there is any general de-

up the opportunity to prepare for
larger usefulness does not deserve
advancement.
Evening study means hard work.
The preparation of lessons, at the
end OF the day is not an easy task.
One must fight down the natural in

is worth fghting for. When A young

 4 Limit on His Pocket
 This recalls the experience of Thomas Hughes, once the owner of a morning newspaper at Albuquerque. He had been cited for contempt of the supreme court and offered no defense. It had somehow been conveyed to him that a fine of $500 was to be imposed. In passing sentence the chief justice con- cluded, or Hughes was misled into thinking he had concluded, when he said And it is the judgment of this court that you pay fine of $300.'
 With exactly that amount in @ roll of bills in his breast pocket, Hughes jubilantly declared, I'm fixed for that, your honor. I've $500 in my inside pocket.
 And went on the judge as if with out interruption, ito serve a term of ninety days in the county jail of Der nalillo county. Have you also that in your inside pocket, MT. Hughes?"

It was at this place that the famous murder of Captain Craft took place. The mariner came to the place, met a woman, and was given knockout drops that resulted unexpectedly in his death.
 The waiter, frightened speeches., told the police. All were arrested, and the manager electrocuted. The straw bondsmen then founded number of places of milder form, but none the less vicious.
 Then came the tango parlors and the lounge lizard!" An Englishman came to this country and founded the first place where patrons of a fashionable restaurant danced in public.
 Cadets, out of luck, because their working places had been taken away, soon accustomed themselves to this new form of livelihood, learned the new and difficult dance steps, frequented the places and became a real type
 Hundreds of these tango parlors sprang up, and grew into the cabarets and tea dansant parlors of today, and in them the lounge lizard' now reigns supreme.
 The .1ounge lizard" goes to one of these places, through friends meets some of the best people of the town, blandly works himself into their confi eyed people, and by blackmail, robbery or seduction, gets his filthy money.
 But this is but simple variety of his work. For the most part he gets into the good graces of women, lures them into falling into his traps, plays on their weaknesses, and attaches him. self to them like a leech, and drags them down with him.
 Connected with the '1ounge lizard" and other leeches of society are the elairvoyants, the dermatologists and the peddlers of dope, the outposts for resorts and the "gold- -diggers.'' The lounge lizard" finds customers" and collects his fee.
 The closing of open resorts and the various cleanup campaigns have scat tered these various agents of wee throughout New York.

A Known Broadway "Lounge lizard
 NEW YORK-The lounge lizard has been made by the various aransi- tions of the New York Tenderloin.
 Twenty years ago the old Haymarket was in existence. This was a. place where men could go, meet women and enjoy themselves as they saw fit. The admission was 25 cents for men, and women were admitted free. These women were exempt from arrest by or der of those city officials who lived on the poodle of the vice resorts.
 The place was very orderly and women were not permitted to get drunk.
 The male patrons were the sons of some of the best families. They danced with these demi- mondaines, and many times fell in love with them. Hundreds
 Men seeking a good time would go to of such marriages were performed at the Little Church Around the Corner.
 This open vice system was supplant- ed by numbers of cafes and Raines law hotels where vice flourishes, and the estimated police graft was $2000,000 a year.
 This marked the beginning of the rise to wealth of two men who were largely responsible for vice in New York City.
 These two men began as straw bondsmen for women of the streets. Through pull, if they needed money, they would have scores of women ar rested would bail them out, and then get their ''bit" if the women were not convicted
 With this money they opened a place in Twenty ninth street.-the first of a chain of vicious resorts that stretched from the Bowery to Columbia Univer- sity.
 this place, meet women of the streets, and be initiated in various form of vice. There were singing walters; and the "hop-head" piano player ground out music not unlike that of the jazz artists of present day.
 Around a. m. the lobby ghouls, lounge lizards, women of the streets and pickpockets would come in, pass around a form of cocaine known as 'catarrh- -cure' and tell of their hauls.

 He acts as a leader for the clairvoy ants. He makes money fast and fur iously. He stages parties for those seeking new thrills, and even l would not tell innocent people of the unspeak- able things that take place.
 But the sins sown by the lounge liz ard must be harvested, and at 30 or so, he is a physical wreck, all sense of honor gone, his mind clogged Dope is his only forgetting, and dope exacts its own penalties.

 In the complaint filed with the cor poration commission against the Pull man company it is alleged that the volume of traffic indicates the need for and justifies an improvement in the service by placing one or more addi- tional Pullman cars in operation. The urgency of existing conditions is also pointed out.
 Chairman Amos A.
