he respectfully urges that the
speeding oi alilonionues up ;>n<i ?u>u u
Main street be stopped. Tliis
not from a desire to put an end to
the pleasure of tlie autoinobilist,

the children. There should

driving in the city limits, and particularly
in the thickly populated
districts.
How can the parents help the
teacher to fulfill his important mis
_0m_l - .ni n mid?sympathetic
interest in the teacher's work. Kxpression
of considerate kindness on
the part of the parents for the teach- j
cr would help very much. J>ut the J
one great help that the parents have j
it in their power to render is in j
holding up the authority of the!
teacher. Obedience the teacher i
. . must have, and it is the one thing j
that cannot be had effectually with- :
out the cooperation of the parents, i
It is not always easy for a fond parent
to turn a deaf car to the "tale !
of woo" brought home from school!
by the child. It may be sometimes!
the case that the teacher is acting
upon mistaken judgment. Hut the

maintained, and tin* parents are
able to help greatly in that direction.
Tin-: Tim us wishes each teacher a
happy and restful vacation. It is
certain you deserve it and have
earned it. Your work has been
hard. It has often been carried on
und'T great discouragements. Often
you have received but scant
sympathy from the patron. All
too often you have failed to receive
a kind word and expression of good
will and of a desire to co-operate
with you. Hut you have done well.
That should cheer your hearts and
bring you the right to en joy a period
of rest. No doubt you have often
been misunderstood and, in consequence,
harshly judged. We all
are. No doubt you often feel disheartend
We all do. Hut you
kept on with your work and you
have done well ?how well you may
never know till you stand before

REPLY TO INQUIRER.
\Y" wish to say a word in reply
o that part of tin* article hy ''Inluiivr"
concerning the price <>l
voter to the mills. The price t?
n lividunls is thirty cents per thousuul
gallons, the price to the mill
nueh less. Now liuiuirer" oh
i^-'s this. In reply we \vou!<
say that since the mills use million
o' galloi.s while an individual u-e
pioha' ly a thousand, and since thj
water hill for 11 ie mills is one him
dred dollars while the individttar
hill is prohahly thirty cents, t'a
price to the mills should he less, i
is a law of trade that articles hy >h
wholesale are cheaper than hy n
tail.
Another point. The Monavc
Mills laid their own pip* at a coot'
squint. Further, these nulls a
low the city to tap their pipe. 1
not * Conors.*1 ions uoSitw oni
sideration from tit** watercompany
The mills of 1'ition would insta
their own water plants if they w.
charged anything like the price 1
individuals; thereby depriving t!
city of this soilivi of revenue; at
the eity cannot well alTord the los
The large patronage and revenue r
ceived from the mills deserve coi
sideration.
The Monarch Mills have - new
run a company store for their pe<
pie, although solicited on all sidi
to do so. They have turned th
trade to the town. In eritieisii
public matters, as well as otlv
matters, we should be fair and loc
at both sides. However, "Inquirer
is entitled to his views, but wil
this information, we think the co
porations should fare better at h
hand.
One of the chief reasons th
school teaching is so often made
"stepping-stone*' to some oth
profession is the fact that the scho
teacher is so poorly paid. The
seems to be an idea in many mim
that the work of teaching is sum
thing that just any one can d<
that it is really not work at all, b
a kiml of play; and if work it
then it is very light work and ve
easy. It is not strange tli
there should he poorly pa
teachers when the public has su
conceptions of the work done
is fomenting very different fro
what many think it to be, shou
turn away from tin? lifeof the teacl
or to something else. Men ai
women who have spent years:
preparation for the life of teachii
tind themselves facing a salary
thirty-live to forty dollars a montl
and that too for hut nine months'
tin1 year. And in most eases the
is little prospect for much inerca
in salary. The ranks of the scho
icacocrs art: constantly receiving V
cruits fresh from col It'go. If tl
capable ami tried teacher will n
teach for the meagre salary the
are new arrivals quite willing
take their places ami there a
trustees quite willing to sanction tl
change, latter pay for teaehe
would help to put an end to tl
idea that teaching school is to 1
made a means to some other pr<
fession.

What would I Hi a fair compensa- { jj
jtion for tho average teacher? It is ai 8
dangerous thing for one to set limits j
and standards. It may be far from
1 the mark for a definite sum to be I
named. Hut the writer is willing;
to risk the danger, and dares to!
make the suggestion Sixty dollars
per month, instead of thirty-five, |
' would be more in accord with just-1
" ice. Kven at sixty dollars there is '
" only tIf salary of five hundred and I
'' forty dollars per year, for the teach- ;
" or works in the school room only j
- nine months. In many schools the i
' t nn is even shorter. What chance j
1 is there for the average teacher to- j
0 day to take a trip during the sum*
mer months? Vet every one will ad-j
init that it would he the very thing!
b to broaden the mind and furnish the i
1 means for greater usefulness in the
class room. Then too, tin* teacher
' ' on a small salary has no money to
l" invest in hook". Many of then ,
struggle along for years before they
b are able to own a first-class cncyclo
lv pedia. We compel the teacher to.
wear good clothes, move in polite:
society ami he generous enough to,
.. subscribe to all public benefactions,
e- ami yet we pay them no more than 1
i- we pay the day lal>orei\ The day ;
laborer often receives as much as a !
1 dollar per day. Many school teach-{
,s ers receive no more. Certainly that \
is is about the situation. The day la-;
ig borer who receives twenty-six dol- \
lj5 lars for a month's work, and is al-!
\) lowed to work twelve months re- j
t]j eeives three hundred and twelve!
r- dollars. The average school teach-!
lis cr, upon a salary of thirty-five dollars
for nine monthss receive hut,
at three hundred and fifteen dollars!
a for the year's work. Years id preper
aration and one or two thousand
ol j dollars have gone to Jit the teacher j
re for the responsible place he is to oc-,
ils cupy. It is manifestly our duty to,
e- pay our teachers more money.
j; lit
It is to be hoped that Senator by-;
is, on and the other members of the j
ry investigating committee will not be
iat deterred in their work by any j
id threats that may he made against j
ch them. High and low, rich and
by "poor should fare aliko in this inves- j
m honor and credit, they "should not < '
Id | fear investigation. If they have'
Ii-: not iiUcd these positions faithfully
id the public should demand an inves-1
in tigation.

We do not need them here. They den>
moralize our young men and lower L
