Valuing Teachers

listen to the words of Roger Ascham:
Il 1T is pity that commonly is had. and
that among very wise to find out rather cunning
for their horse than cunning to teach their
children They say nay word but they do in deed
For in the they will gladly give stipend of 200
by the and loath to offer the other 200 shngs
Who is this Roger Ascham? An educator lecturng be-
fore teachers Institutes and demanding better training and
better wages for teachers Or is he school supern
endent calling the board of education to wake up?
Neither
Roger Ascham lived than 300 years ago and in a
treatise the schoomaser he addressed himself to the
folks of his time concerning the low value placed upon the
services of teachers. But his words have familiar ring
One hear their like any day in any group of modern
underpaid teachers.
Civilization has advanced long way since Roger
Aschams day, but relatively speaking its appraisal of
teachers worth is higher than that which prevailed in
1865, when Ascham wrote
While educational systems have, until recently, at
tempted to shape all minds in the mold horsetraners

Horse Power in Water Power

DY DEVELOPING available water power in this coun
ID try produce power at rate of SIS horse
power. The power which the largest English mills
today produced at cost Of S34 horse power This is
very significant and important fact.
Another significant and important fact is that today coal
be mined in the United States and laid down in English
ports cheaper than be taken from the mines in Eng
land.
These among the statements made recently by Cen
Hugh Cooper to a committee of the house investigating
water power development.
General Cooper speaks having authority He is
the who developed the Niagara Falls Also the
power at Keokuk Iowa He has built numerous dams
the Mississippi and has been engaged the Musse Shoals
works in Alabama
During the General Cooper served doar-a- year
man, contributing his services to the government He took
pains to tell the committee that he has all the money he
wants needs and that he is not stakeholder in any
power corporation.
The development of water power in the United States
General Cooper regards the most important thing which
be DONE Before the the general the subject
of developing water regarded something of
gamble. There engineering problems which at that
time not completely solved Since then these eng
neerng problems have been solved and today the matter
Of developing power from falling water is matter Of abso
lutte engineering certainty and mathematical precision.
There strong limitations in what General Cooper
said that there British influences ut work in the United
States against the development at of
SIS horse power and it in this connection that he cited
the comparative cost of British power
And large part of the total water in the United
States lies in the state of Washington the industrial state

No Check on the Governor

THE GOVERNORS CODE places check upon him,
that which the constitution guarantees in the
right of recall. He appoint and fire at WILL lie
play horse with elective officers because he has the
to appoint them to lucrative positions than those
which they had been elected He thus add TO their
salaries decrease them In word he is going to be the
boss of thousands of employees and boss in the real
of the word.
the past important officers appointed by the governor
terms up he would have the privilege of reappoint
ing them removing them. This acted to extent
check upon the governor he inclined to play too
much politics. Now this slight check is eliminated
under the code
Governor Hart has been Ill advised in the of
presenting the code IL n serious bunder TO have
kept il extremely crude TO demand passage
without dotting Il" crossing st." The Star be-
lieves the governor msed tacticaly, well in
matters of policy by the type of men like L. d. McArde,
able enough in his line, but hardly man of vision.
The Star honestly believes the code faulty in several inn
portnt respects Despite that il is not going to damn it
everlastngy The governor shall have his opportunity to
make good. He overcome some of the objections TO
the code by doing the right thing if not compelled
to do So
He must not allow like McArtle TO persuade him
that labor should be denied voice in administering labor
boards. II is not Harris idea. II is not any fair
minded mans idea Hart has sufficient latitude 10 give
labor the representation it is entitled TO.
And in many other respects The governor If he
chooses rectfy deficiencies in the code He has broad
powers If he them nelgenty and for the public well
fare the code will work we'll II he abuses his
of his advisers doubt contemplate he will find
himself very in extremely hot water.
There is check the governor in the code itself. 1t
is up to him to check himself

House Passes Resolution Call

Statement of $l50,0O0,000
Voted by Congress. /
Hot Debate on Question
ny The Associated rre.s.

Washington, Feb. l5.--Aftcr heat
ed debate, the house late today
adopted a resolution calling upon
President Wilson for an itenized
statement showing disbursements
and allotments of the $l50,000,0 900
war funds voted by congress.
The resolution adopted, 2ll to 70,
was attacked by democrats. who
charged it was put forward to
defame and malign President Wilson
i'll the closing days of his admins
tration. Reference to expenditures
by the American peace commission
at Paris famed the flames on the
democratic side ard turned the de-
bate into partisan channels.
Chairman Good of the aprropria-
tions committee, who reported the
resolution introduced by Represen-
tative Byrnes, republican, New York,
declared If any injustice had been,
done the president the democrats
were responsible by attempting to.
create the impression that there
was somthing crooked in the money
spending" when the resolution did
not intimate that there had been
anything improper. Mr.. Good de-
ciincd to offer an amendment calling
ON government departments for an
accounting.
Defends President.
Representative Byrnes, republican,
Tennessee, declared that while he
had no objection to adoption Of the
resolution, he thought the inforna-
ton shoSld be sought from the vari-
Gus departments. The president, he
said, had nothing to do with the
actual spending, that more than four
ffths Of the fund had been accounted
for and that it was merely an at
tempt to make it appear he was un-
willing to present the record.
"The American people will never
forget the great achievements OF
Woodrow Wilson," he said, "and his
name will fill the brightest pages OF
history after his detractors are dead
and forgotten
Representative Rogers, republican,
Massachusetts,, attacked reported eN-
penditures of the peace commission
at the Hotel Crillon in Paris, calling
attention to an item of $l25,OO0 for
damage to the hotel property. =
Raps Confidential Expenses"
"The acting secretary of state was
unable to give details of the Paris
expenditures" he said. Wages OF
hotel employees amounted to Sl3l ,OCn
and We had to pay for their food.
There was another item of $4,000
for automobiles, when the streets OF
Paris~were oyerrun with American
cars. Confidential expenses of the
presidential party were put down at
s17,s54 Why should there be con-
fidential expenses Of president to

Representative Byrnes, South Car
ol;na, and Dewalt, Pennsylvania,
democrats, assailed the resolution of
Mr.. Byrnes, insisting congress after
the Spanish war did not attempt TO
insult Mckinley" Mr.. Byrnes said
he did not believe there was man

Houston Told to
Withhold Loans

Payments Until Committee
Gives Approval.

Washington. Feb. l5.-Sccretary
Houston was notified formally today
by the senate judiciary committee
that he Should pay out no more
money on account of any commit
ments of loans to foreign countries
until the facts have been submitted
to this committee and it has had an
opportunity to consider the same and
report to the senate
The committees action was by
unanimous vote and was taken on
motion of Senator Reed, democrat,
Missouri, author of a pending reso-
luton to stop all advances by the
treasury to the allied governments.
Decision to take immediate and di-
rect action was made by the commit
tee after Senator Brandegee, repub-
lican, Connecticut, had informed it
that Mr.. Houston recently had told
the foreign relations committee that
he felt in honor bound to make ad-
ditional advances to the governments
for which credits had been estab-
lished if those governments asked
for the money.
Senator'S Reed and Brandegee said
$37. 100000 additional could be ad-
vanced to foreign governments and
Senator Reed declared the secretary
should be prevented from making
any advances while the committee
was considering legislation to stop
all further loans.
Secretary Houston promised to
appear tomorrow and bring all doc
referring to loan negotia-.
tions with foreign countries.
