TEACHERS.
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.

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

GREATEST MARVEL OF AGE.
Ono of tho features of recont mnr

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.

Now and then I take a journey
To a lovely land afar,
Mingling In a mighty journey
With a costly motor car.
Now I spin and now I speed;
Now I struggle with the brake;
Now I am a swell indeed
Then I awake!
Now and then I build a castle
For my summer residence, ,
Every servant Is my vassal,
And the service Is Immense.
Now I am a nabob proud;
Now I scorn the country Jake;
Now I'm lurid, large and loud
Then I awake!
Now and then the Lusltania
Do I board for Europe's shore
Albion's isle, Paree, Hispania,
Rome and half a dozen more.
Now I smoothly sail the deep;
Now the common mob I shake;
Now, of course, I am asleep
Then I awake!

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.
