WE MAY ASSUME that tho teaching sense of men and women does not differ mate rially; that Is, the facts of knowl edge and information once determin ed upon may be acquired equally well by pupils whether they are in structed by men or women. In matters of instruction the topics discussed by men may be somewhat different from those discussed by wo men, but it will be admitted that the -wisdom of the selection depends more upon the personality of the teacher than upon tho sex. Trobably that part of school work -which is known as training or dis cipline Is the part In which men and -women teachers differ most widely. Here tho whole question hangs upon what Is most desired In life, espe cially what is desired for a manly life. It is not strange, therefore, that the fear is freely expressed that -our boys are npt properly trained -In schools In which the women teach ers aro In the majority. On tho other hand is the ques tion "Does tho majority jeopardize the manly qualities of the boy?" A negative answer Is hardly neces--sary. How many mothers can bo charged with so affecting their sons. And poor Indeed Is the suc cessful son who does not attribute ills success to his mother! In womankind and children tho Creator has seen fit to place strong ties of attraction and affection. The. averago woman Is attracted to the average child by an Inherent quality that something which makes any child more to a woman than to a man. Thus, with woman's established aidvantngo at tho outset, and with 1ior natural gifts, she seems especial ly selected by a higher authority .than human law to caro for tho .young. Teaching Is part of her na tural vocation, whether It bo in the .school or in tho homo. Tho gentle influence of a refined, Intelligent woman is one of the in--dlsponsablo forces In the education ot youth. Whero so many of our fcoys coiiiq Into early and frequent contact with tho rough life of tho .street and playground, this Influence Is particularly valuable In dovolop ' lug tho finer qualities of heart' and waind. Thero aro cortaln elements of isSlinrnctcr universally desired as a result of education. Among them aro truthfulnoss, tomperanco, patience, .sympathy, dignity of thought, cour trejsy and devotion to Ideals. So that -woman Is tho Ideal instructor, and she alone Is fitted for tho task of teaching boys under 12 years of ago. Until that ago every boy needs tho 'influence of women, but In their stoons thoy prosont an ontirely dif- unrent problem. Tho youth's splrlt- i&i and physical nature begins to KcviaJfen and ho stands In dlro need of the eight sort of mascullno influenco In ls schoolroom. As a matter of fact, our American schools lend the .schools of tho world In training for self-control and training of tho will. Tho self-control nnd fineness of . spirit now manifested in our best johools aro nttrlhutnblo In part to Alio number nnd personality of tho womon touchers, and if they cannot 1)0 fostered nnd oncourngod by men iunchors, lot us pray for n contluu .nuee of tho present system. was the splendid, storm-defying flsht made by some of the big Atlantic lln ers that were caught at sea In the equinoctial gales. The story is of special interest Inasmuch as It In dlcates that the point Is reached in high-class passenger ship construe tion where the utmost fury of the sea it set at naught. It is related how one of these mod ern aquatic giants made headway into the mountainous seas at a rate of 23 miles an hour, and better; and how another with a blade In her pro peller snapped off was halted but a moment, as it were, in her course; completing the passage without dis aster, even In this crippled condi tion. It also appears that the wireless played an Important part in the way of warning and preparation for what the individual ship was destined to encounter. One laboring leviathlan lighting with old Neptune picks up by wireless another that is not yet with in its grasp. Immediately the latter knows what to expect, and with the ship, as with tho man, to be fore warned is to be forearmed. But In all the various struggles, except as to the accident recorded, tnere was scarcely any giving way to the fury of the sea. The speed main tained through it all, in most in stances, was nearly the record breaking clip; and the comfort dl the thousands of passengers on board the vessles was hardly interfered with. The voyage was merely not so pleas ant as other voyages had been. This is a long cry from what has been the happening, since first men went down to the sea In ships. By mechanical and constructive genius, man has practically worked out the conquest of the coean; he has made It as safe to travel upon as a country highway. Mountains of water that formerly swept the decks of ships, and sometimes crushed them like eggshells, beat in vain against these magnificent floating palaces with walls of steel. Neptune In his most turbulent mood can do little more for tho passengers In one of these crack liners than to create the im nression that It Is rough weather. There Is perhaps no greater marvel of the age than this. Portland Tele gram.

'&&&&&&& $$$$$ GREATEST MARVEL OF AGE. Ono of tho features of recont mnr JMno nowo jn tho Now York city papers investigation of this subject made, and that has been by tho Bureau of Labor, which Is composed of careful and conservative Investigators who have no partisan bias. In fact, they have been making their investiga tions' year by year ever since tho Bureau was created under the ad ministration of Grover Cleveland, and their figures have been made public In the labor bulletins every year, so while they are applicable in this discussion thoy wore In no way intended for use in a political cam paign, and they would not be ex cept to show the mistakes of those who assume that the Increase In the cost of living has been greater than the average Increase In tho earnings of the people. Take the figures any way ono pleases to look at them, they show tho error of this assumption. Com paring tho last year of 1905 with that of 1894, there was an Increase of 42 per cent In tho employes who had work and wages; there was an increase of 21.5 per cent in tho aver ago earnings per hour; thoro was an Increase of 1C.7 per cent In tho aver ago weekly earnings per employe, and thero was an average increase in tho weekly earnings of all em ployes. On the other hand there was an increase of 12.7 per cent in tho retail prices of food. All tho percentages on wages aro greater than tho percentages of in crease In tho cost of food, and only the reckless assertion of pessimists stand against tho careful Investiga tion of a large number of trained oxperts who have no other purposo than to carry on tho work for which the Bureau of Labor was created. It Is all very well to complain of high prices and to demand cheap food and cheap clothing. But wo had ono era of cheapness In this generation nnd tho chenpest commo dity In thnt time was labor. Presi dent Harrison said n "cheap coat makes a cheap man," and tho condi tions thnt prevailed under the last Democratic administration came protty near demonstrating that as an nbsoluto truth. Lnbor was then so cheap that mon could not oxchango it for enough to glvo thorn a living. It wns carnival of soup and rags. To day labor Is tho dearest product in tho ninrkot. It is just as woll to be sober In Judgment of these thlugs when wo nro going to tho polls to determine tho policy of tho Govern ment for tho next four years. Do wo want cheap labor or high priced labor? That Is tho question. Just n Dream. Now and then I take a journey To a lovely land afar, Mingling In a mighty journey With a costly motor car.

"All things come to him who waits," but they'll come a whole lot quicker if you get up and hustle for them. Tact Is what a young lady uses when she makes a young man feel sorry for her because he didn't get around with his invitation as soon as the other fellow did. IT ISN'T THE .SIZE OF A MAN that counts! It's the stuff that's in him. j & A Boston scientist predicts that the world will come to and end through a parching process. No doubt some of the good people In Roseburg are already convinced that the world is slowly and surely com ing to an end. A Square Deal.

A FOG-HORN IS LOUDER THAN AN ORGAN, but no one ever thought of calling it a musical instrument, and you never heard one in a cathedral! 3 c5 tj A BLACKSMITH CAN MAKE A FOG HORN, but it has taken centuries of genius and skill to perfect the organ! 3 & IT ISN'T THE AMOUNT OF TONE A pencil Is often hard pushed to tell the truth. "Man wants but little here below," but gets all he can. Man grumbles most where he treated best at home. is Some of us get rich -quick most of us get poor quicker. but Some men never have time to think of honesty until they are in jail. The world is waiting for the man who can tell It what to do next. A good many people speak out when there Is no one around to hear them. Some Coos Bay men with sterling qualities have to eat with a plated spoon. Knowledge without common sense is like mashed potatoes with out gravy. Nearly everyone has a feeling that somehow he has been robbed of happiness. She Didn't Know. It was night. They he and she were sitting on the porch looking at the stars. "You know, I suppose," he whis pered, "what a young man's privi lege is wlien he sees a shooting star?" "No," she answered. "I haven't the slightest idea. There goes one." Nearly all the great geniuses lived and died poor; but don't run away with the idea that poverty Is a sign of genius. ' As the late Josh Billings remarked. "It's often a sign of natural-born laziness!" AT THE GRAVESIDE.

Often a benedict Is but an ex bachelor who was overtaken by mis fortune and a widow. Never lose an opportunity 'to speak a good word for your homo city. Don't bo a knocker. Let any business brush up against some resource and originality and it will be tho hotter for It. Any Coos Bay man can take a day off, but whon It conies to putting It back woll that Is different. Some enterprises a man can run and make money; with others he has to Incorporate and sell stock. Bocause the average man has just to make some sort of a fool of him self ho might as woll be In lovo. A mnn can run a store without ad vertising and ho can wink nt a pret ty girl in tho dark But what's the use? Bachelors. Bachelors are cultivated In all large cities. They live in bachelor apartments and bungalows. They can be seen during the day In counting-houses and on the golf links and In the evening at dfainer parties and poker games. Bachelors at ono time were easily caught with almost any kind of bait, and swallowed bait, hook, sink er and all, often at the first throw. Now, however, they are becoming much more wary and hide In the depths of their bachelor apartments or In deep pool-rooms from which they cannot bo lured. They are gregarious in their habits running in schools, but they stand by each other, and It Is very unusual to find a solitary one. Occasionally, however ,a more foolish and overcon fident specimen will poke his nose into a summer resort, when he Is promptly landed. Bachelors are In reality the bul wark of the nation, By not getting married they do not raise families. Families, as we know, are constant ly consuming our natural resources. Bachelors are therefore really pro viding more natural resources for the few. Their conduct, It "will bo soon, Is thus quite unselfish. Life.
