OF Austro-H Hungarian Empire

must not be discouraged IL you
wish to avoid for your children
a political upheaval which will
have the most terrible conse-
quences.
Empires' Deem Predicted.
Two empires in my opinion are
destined to disappear from the
face OF the earth to make place
for the birth of free and inde-
pendent nationalities. I mean the
British empire and the Austrian
empire. which are indeed histori-
cal absurdities.. or, IL you like to
better the expression, clinical
paradoxes. The universal confed-
Grafton Of humaL consciences must
triumph.
Napoleon once said that Europe
would either become republican or
Cossack. She must not become
Cossack. Russia. it is true, con-
templates the conquest of Con-
stantinople and India. in order to
possess the hegemony of the
world. but no people should op-
press others to restrict them in
the geographical distribution of
nations.
There will always be clinical
minorities included in great
masses and in the older natioas.
but they should for the moment
live in peace and harmony with
each other, because their sacred
rights will be defended when the
day of the desired confederation
comes. The straits of the Darda-
nelles and Gibraltar should be ac-
cessible to all, and IL some day
the Isthmus of Suez be pierced by
a canal II must not be an iniquit-
Gus privilege for one people 20
the exclusion of all others. 1t
ought to enjoy a natural and logi-
cal freedom.
Humanity's STAGGERING Burden.
Going back to what 1 have al
ready said, believe that the rev.
olution should penetrate IN the
conscience of all humanity with
out distinction in order to avoid
the violences, thefts, brutalities,
pillages and bloody impositions
. which form the patrimony of hu-
manity and which already sur
pass what poor humans can stag
ger under.
Nations disappear, but the
ideal remains. 1t is eternal. For
the triumph for this holy ideal.
my dear Melloni, one should fight
to ones last breath.
Science teaches US that our
politics should end all the forms
of imperialisms, which weigh as
a great cloud on the human race.
This, then, would be true civiliza-
tion.
Yours,

CHAPTER 1N-Continucd.
IL They shall leave none of il
unto the morning. nor break any
hone of il: according TO all the or
dinances of the passover they shall
keep 1t.
Ia But the man that is clean. and
is not in a journey, and forbeareth
to keep the passover, even the same
soul shall be cut off from among his
people: because he brought not the
Offering of the Lord in his appointed
season. that man shall bear his sin.
IA And IL a stranger shall So
journ among you, and will keep the
passover unto the Lord; according to
the ordinance of the passover, and
according to the manner thereof, so
shall he do: ye shall have one
ordinance. both for the stranger,
and for him that was born in the
land.
Is And on the day that the
tabernacle was reared up the cloud
covered the tabernacle, namely, the
tent of the testimony: and at even
there was upon the tabernacle as 1t
were the appearance of fire, until
the morning.
l6 So 1t was slway: the cloud
covered it by day and the appear
ance of fire by night.
II And when the cloud was
taker up from the tabernacle, then
after that the children of Israel
journeyed: and in the place where
the cloud abode, there the children
of Israel pitched their tents.
is At the commandment of the
Lord the children of Israel journey
ed. and at the commandment of the
Lord they pitched: as long as the
cloud abode upon the tabernacle
they rested in their tents.
19 And when the cloud tarried
long upon the tabernacle many
days, then the children of Israel
kept the charge of the Lord, and
journeyed not.
90 And SO il was, when the cloud
was a few days upon the tabernacle:
according 20 the commandment OF
the Lord they abode in their tents.
and according to the commandment
of the Lord they journeyed
81 And so II was. when the cloud
abode from aven unto morning, and
that the cloud was taken up in the
morning, thel they journeyed:
whether IL was by day or by night
that the. cloud was taken up. they
journeyed.

TEACHER PROBLEM
By GEORGE DAVIS,
President of Hunter College,
New York.

No one now doubts that the pres
ent dcarth of teachers throughout
the country is due primarily to
the inadequate salaries paid for this
form of service. and further, that
'thc efforts being made to increase
these salaries are the first neccs-
sary steps to be taken TO relieve
this dcarth.
Most of those who enter upon
the work OF teaching do so for the
love of 1t: and the qualification of
this love has been a sort of COM
pensating satisfaction for the lack
of adequate pay. II has made
teachers indifferC at, to some extent,
even to the matter OF deserved
social prestige Of which an adequate
wage is a necessary support.
Teachers. as a class. have, /
think. accepted the seIf-sacrifice of
their position with little complaint
until the present pressure of cir
cumstances resulting from the
changed world conditions have
forced them to effective remon-
STRANGE. They have been compelled
at last to resent the fact that the
public. unthinking. also accepted
this sacrifice as a matter of course.
AS the public acts slowly in cor
recting untoward social conditions,
and as opportunities presented
themselves to individual teachers
to better their state, defections
from their ranks began. These de-
fections are alarming in extent
and apparently increasing. They
must be checked. IL possible, and
the existing lack, augmented by
deaths, retirements, and increase in
number of pupils, must be made
good.
The first remedy is better pay.
This must be of such amount as
will secure for the teachers per-
sonal comfort. opportunities for
self-improvement. maintenance of
rightful social position. in accord
ance with the best standards of the
community in which they live.
In fixing compensation for teach
ing we must not only provide a
good living wage for the beginner,
but the salaries for the higher DO
sitions should be liberal, SO that
men and women of ability and
worth shall see opportunities and
find incentive for advancement.
If, in providing relief. this prin-
ciple is observed. the educational
authorities can appeal with greater
effect to the graduates of high
schools to enter the training schools
and colleges with a view to be-
coming teachers; and the presidents
of colleges can appeal to their
undergraduates to prepare. by
means of few courses in general
pedagogy. to devote year or two
at lcast to the work Of teaching
after graduation.
