'I'vo Bali'Ul features of the pres
ent coiniiieiicemeul eeaaou ill fcuuca
liuiiul luiiiuutioiia of ull gradee muat
bo apparent to every ihuunlitlul on
set hi; both of vital tuipoi lance to
tliu welfare of the uatlou, and bolb
results, direct or lnuincl, of tne
sreat war. remarks llarvey'a Week
ly. One, which aliould Hive cauae lor
a. mere gialllicallon, la the great In
c.eane in the number or pupila. Uni
versities, colleges, and aecoudary
achoola have during the laat year
been ihruiiKed aa never befure, aud
the pro.-peel 1a lor even greater nuin
bera uexi full. The public achoola,
alm, are crowded, though attendance
at them la of courae coinpulaory and
la therefore not ua alKiilllcunt ua 11 la
in luatltiHioiia where it la voluntary.
1 here la little doubt that the war baa
a an Interesting by-product, mater
ially Humiliated the desire for knowl
edge, and thua haa contributed to the
1 11 ireu mil attendance at Institution
or higher learning.
The other feature la altnoBt the re
Terae of thia. It la the acarclty of
tt uchera, the Inferior quulliy of many
who are employed for lack of better,
and the consequent closing of many
achoola and deterioration of many
more. Thia rule appllea to public
achoola aomewhut more than to aec
ondary achoola and colleges, though
they all Buffer from It to aome ex
tent. We recently called attention to
the report of the bureau of education
concerning the ahortage of teachei
and the number of achoola cloaed,
run on part time, or taught by In
efficient persona. Now cornea another
report from high authority to almilar
effect. The Ituaaell Sage Foundation
finds that the public achoola of the
entire country, considered on points
of attendance, (ruining, progress, ana
related Iteina, ahow an average effi
ciency of only G2 per cent. Kven In
the great alute of New York, where
one of the best action! ayateins In Ihe
land la auppoaed to prevull, the per
centage of efficiency la only 65!. 4.
Heelng that the public achoola are the
only achoola which the vast majority
of Americana ever attend, It la perti
nent to Inquire how we can hope to
produce 100 per cent American clll
sens, at least Intellectually, in 62 per
cent achoola.
Of courae the reason for thia de
plorable alate of affaire la easy to
discern. It la expressed In two abort
worda: Poor pay. School teachera
are after all human beluga, who need
lodging, clothing and food, and who
nre entitled to a little more remun
eration than Just to provide theae no
ci'saillea. At (he present (line they
are generally very much underpaid.
There haa been no bucIi increase In
their salaries aa there haa been in (he
pay of many others, including many
of far lesa Importance to Ihe welfare
of the community and Ihe alate
Muny a young woman school teacher
receives smaller wanes than the kit
chen maid In her boarding house.
Many a high school teacher, even a
college professor, seea artisans bet
ter paid Ihnn himself. In such cir
cumstances It Is only human nature
for teachera to abandon their calling
for something which will pay them
hotter, and naturally It la the unit
competent -who do thin, because of
the greater demand for their services
outside and the greater promise of
pay.
The colleges and aniversltlea see
this, and feel the atresa, and nre try
ing to deal with the situation by
making drlvea for funds, in mnn
cases announcing that the Increased
endowments aought are to be used
for the purpose of Increasing the sal
aries of the faculties. In the public
schools the problem Is more serious
at ill, and must he met in another
way. The community or the state
must provide ihe needed funds. And
this must be done In the face of the
already high taxes which Ihe people
are paying. Otherwise we shall suf
fer the Irreparable h, ()r mi un
educated or Ineff Iclelit ly educated
generation at the very lime when
the best possible education Is urgent
ly needed.
A tine example has recently been
sot by Ihe city of Newark. New J.r
aoy. under the leadership of an en
lightened, progressive and resolute
liead of Its board of education. Kvery
teacher on the annual payroll has
received an Increase of ItiiO, In ad
dltion to the automatic increases
which range from $50 to 2ti. A
bonus of MOO la also given to every
regular teacher, and provision j
made for regular annual Increases
hereafter of doublte (he amoitni
hitherto prevailing. All dlscritnimi
(Ion between men and women teach
era la to bo abolished. Each leacher
who haa served ten years la to have
full year's vacation "for attidy and
observation" on full pay minus n
substitute's salary; and another such
year at the end of another fen yearV
term. In addition to all this, th
teachers themselves, through an
academic council, are (n have an Im
portant rolre In the government an. I
direction of the whole department of
education.
In devising this comprehensive
scheme. Dr. Sonimer has done far
more than to secure for the teachers
adequate salaries. He has taken
splendid step toward matins the

To aettla a lit t i controversy, will
you please answer th question stated
below:
In a former election when George
Qulne defeated Sam Starmwr for the
nomination for sheriff, Starmer de
clared for Quine and went to work
for bis election. Now that Starmer
hus taken the nomination from
Quine it is said by some that Qulne
has declared for Starmer aud will
work for hla election. Others say
thia la lint true, bill that Qulne 14
wnrkinir for Harrv Fearce. Which
la correct? Has Quine made any an
nouncement through tbe press?
(Sheriff Quine has made no public
announcement, or private utterance
an far aa la known. In reference to
bis attitude toward the sheriff's race,
and until he des this paper cannot
"ipeak out In the open" and give the
