Spiceland Academy's
Commission Renewed

The commission of the Spiceland
Academy, a school maintained by the
Friends church at Spiceland, has been
renewed by the state board of educa-
ton, according to word received by
the schools officials.
The academy has been in operation
since 1869, and there is no other
school in the township. To help
maintain the institution, the township
last year paid for the transfer of pu-
pills. The state board of accounts
held the action illegal and the state
board of education then revoked the
commission. This years graduating
class of % faced the position of hay
ing diplomas from the academy which
were not accredited with any college
or university in the state.
The re-issuing Of the commission
places the school in good standing
with the colleges and universities.

ones mistress.
The housekeeper is the official in
terpreter. She gets about $3.50
month, her own suite of rooms, her
clothes, a kind word or two, and car
ries the keys to the wine cellar. There
are four persons in the family of E.
Parmelee Prentice; twelve servants
are employed and the housekeeper,
who has been in the family's employ
many years, gets 1925 a month.
The closing of the town house and
the continued pay of the employees
does not mean they are held for serv-
ice in the fall. often maid, after
enjoying the double wage all summer
when the family is away, quits the
service when the family returns.
If servants are taken to the country
for the summer they are given car
fare back to the city for the one day
off in the week. If the country home
is far from the station a motor car
must take them to the train, and meet
them. Otherwise, they refuse to go to
the country.
Every one is crying Help. help"
and the cry grows louder, for serv-
ants who came here from over there
have saved money, and, having heard
little from their kihsfolk during the
war, or believing their kinsfolk need
their help, are putting their money in
their stockings and going back. And
few, almost none, are coming over.
A girl walked into an employment
office So far as could be learned she
wasn't a good cook, and her bed
making induced insomnia But she
wanted good money for poor ability,
and she sat there just thirty days.
And she got it, She announced in the
beginning she intended to wait until
she got what suited her if she waited
all summer.
Two years ago the woman who
came in by the day was paid $1.60;
row she gets $50 and the privilege
of criticism. Two years ago the rooms
of domestic employment agencies
were crowded with applicants for jobs,
girls sitting on every chair and on
the outside steps. These days the
chairs are turned feet up in long rows
against the wall. If an applicant for
work comes in she is grabbed before
she has chance to sit down.

MORGAN SERVANTS

New York Correspondence Kansas

New York Cores pOndence Kansas
City Starr
J. P. Morgan keeps IA servants in
his town house, and although not one
is paid less than $50 month, and it is
something to say over ones tea that
Il worked for the J. P. Morgans," the
household has as hard time getting
help as you or l.
To begin with, tho housekeeper in
the Morgan family, who employs all
the help except the chef and chauf-
feur wouldn't look at a reference Civ
en- by the wife of a man in moderate
circumstances. No, indeed. The ref
erence must come from one on the
same social level as the Morgan fam
lily, and if a girl gave references of
her work and character from every
one in her church and neighborhood,
including the cashier of a bank whose
wife had employed her, the house
keeper would turn her down.
For other reasons those of the Nor
gan class are particular. There al
ways is the danger of getting some one
who might kidnap the heir. or throw
bomb, or steal a $15,000,0OO neck
lace.
There are four in the Morgan fam
lily. and as no nursemaid for one child
will do anything for the other child,
that means a separate staff of serv-
ants for each child in addition to the
separate staff for the master and mis-
tress. When the family goes to the
country, in the summer, the town
house is left in care of four of the
servants, and the others who are re-
leased from duty. are paid not only
their regular wages, but enough more
to pay for their meals out. with the
privilege of retaining their rooms if
they choose.
For instance. one girl who gets $50
month as a kitchen maid continues
receiving that amount in the summer
and earns S12 a week on salads in a
cafeteria, eight hours day and Sun
days Off The gifts they receive on
Christmas, and other but-once-a-year,
always are in money, never less than
$40 and often more. AS rule. the
servant is given most of her clothes,
and her uniforms are always furnish
ed by the woman employing her.
The servants, like her mistress,
moves in the same social groove; if
she drops down to job in the family
Of tloorwalker, she can never get
