LITTLE HONOR. POOR PAY.

DR.. James r Angel. in his first pub
lie address since his election TO the
Presidency Of Yale University. told the
members Of the New York and New
Jersey section Of the National Civic
Federation a day ago that this country
needs increasing provision for teacher
training. and a complete revision Of the
method Of taxation for raising school
revenue.
IF there is any greater service in a
democracy than th7 training Of the
children. I do not Know what it is. he
said But unless public opinion rec
ognizes the profession of teaching as an
erninentIy dignifed and admirable pro-
fession. worthy of social as well as
economic recognition, we can never at
tract into teaching the type of person
that in a democracy we have got 10
have. / don't know any place where a
fine. sound, mature. intellectual per-
sonality pays such big dividends as in
the schoolroom."
BY paying dividends, Dr. Angel Of
course means serving the country well.
By indirectly saying tn, America does
not recognize teaching "as an emf
nently dignihed and admirable profea-
sion,' he strikes the heart Of our educs.-
tional troubles in America. We do not
pay well for that which we do not hon
or greatly. The majority of us have
adopted George Bernard shaw's falla'
cious saying as true gospel. He whC
can. does; ne vino cannot, teaches"
In this respect we are behind many
European nations. Germany. France
Italy. and England in certain cases,
have placed rewards Of honor and re-
spect at the feet Of those who teach

When. as a. nation. we recognize that

shall then make adequate provision
for fitting economic tribute to those
who teach the citizens of tomorrow. The
wage of all teachers in America, taken
as "a whole, is lower today than at any
time since the Civil War. This is no
idle saying, but fact based upon cold
figures. The money which we spend
upon our schools. in buying power, is
less on tho average. than that which
the nation appropriated in pre-Span-
ish War days.

THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA

more concerts at horoe.
This orchestra has been coming TO
wilmington for so many years that we
have learned TO look upon it as some
thing Of our own; We have taken an
intimate interest in It's fortunes. both
artistic and financial. and have become
50 attached TO IL that q musical season
minus it's concerts would be disappoint-
ing.
There is no lack Of financial support
here; the performances are always
adequately guaranteed. The nub Of the
matter is that Philadelphians who have
subscribed heavily toward its future
wish 10 hear it more often; quite a
conmendable desire, that. But it will
be admitted that by sharing pleasure
one doubles it, strange as that may
sound. Cannot the sponsors in Phila- :
delphia continue To manifest their
brotherly love. for which they have
been famous for generations, by per-
uniting the Orchestra to continue its
visits here?

THE LEAGUE REVIVAL.


There is stirring in the deeper wa
ters of international relations The
League of Nations. pronounced as dead
by the "irreconcilables," 80 far AS II
concerned the United States. has sud
denly shown signs OF life In Washing
ton. Viviani is coming to the United
States TO talk league, and the league
only. II appears that II France can
not have the defensive alliance outlined
at Versailles, along with the league,
then the league will serve. The Paris
papers have been r,moring all manner
of things az To an American recon-
sideration
Great Britain, officially uninterested.
Is unquestionably prepared TO come to
some sort of an agreement in the mat
ter of interpretations and reservations
that will be acceptable TO America And
the English are not disposed to quibble
over the name. A world association"
will suit Downing street just as we'll as

league Is now doing and expects TO do.
The United States? The position OF
President Harding is hardly what IL was
three months ago. 10 seems TO be chang
ing to meet the conditions that have
come since he took oath. His state de-
partment ia swinging out from it's first
orbit. The idea Of a separate peace

cussed except by the "irreconcilables.

softcning in Washington. The new adj
ministration is getting some practical
ideas of the giant difficulties that would
