A writer whom educational faddists will
promptly class a an "old fopry," a "has
been" or "a mossbark," takna up the
cudg-el In the Chlonso Chronicle In sup
Dtirt of simplicity and thorouKn:ss nther
than variety ana superficial KnowicaKe in
ocmmoQ school education. His argument
applies with equal force In Omaha as In
Chicago, particularly respecting taxation
and those on whom the burden falls most
heavily. The writer says:
"It Is said, and with truth, that the bur-
den of taxation falls upon the poor man,
All that he poannaees Is visible. A little
bouse nd a bit of ground moots the eye
of the assessor In his yearly round.
whereas the reverse Is true of the well-to-do.
Moneys, bonds, stocks. Invisible
wealth are not unoorered to that official's
gase unless the taxpayer Is troubled with
a conscience, mention of whloh Is very
Infrequently made In these days. Hence
the faot la patent that the poor man pays
all that he should pay while his well-to-do
neighbor escapes the payment of a Just
proportion of the tax levied for the oom
tnon weal.
"From my standpoint It Is manifestly
unjust to burden the poor man by taxing
him to educate In the higher branches the
children of the more prosperous, those
who are abundantly able to give their
progeny the advantages of a collegiate
course and who may purpose that they
shall follow some of the professions or
avocations In which a broader and more
liberal education Is regarded as Indispen
sable. The poor so vastly In the majority
In the nature of things do not expect
their offspring to achlervo greatness, al
though they frequently do by their own
Individual efforts, but they seek through
the common school to fit them for the
ordinary transactions of llfo, and when
that Is accomplished they feel that they
have done their whole duty, and so they
have when all things are considered. As
I view It, the province of the publlo school
Is to Instruct In the common English
branches, leaving to the universities, col
leges and technical schools those branches
that aim to fit the student for a more en
larged sphere, a wldiT range of thought
and a broader and more generous culture.
Concerning Fads.
Occasionally some voice Is raised In New
York to protest against what It calls
"fads In the Bchools." Talking on this
subject, a teacher of long and tried ex
perience told a couple of stories by way
of Illustration.
"I found It necessary In the course of the
classes," she said, "to tell my 7-year-olds
all about tho vlreo, which you may or may
not know Is a bird, a small American bird.
X explained to them how many legs It
had and about Its bill and generally about
its get-up and habits, so that they might
remember that a vlreo was not an ele
phant, at any rate. They seemed to grasp
all right the facts about what It ate; that
appealed to them; but how It ate did not
Impress them so much, for when I came
to ask one of the little girls about that
part of It, she hesitated, a good deal and
at Inst began to whimper.
" 'Now, how does the little bird eat?' I
asked, In my most winning way. The whim
pering went on.
" 'Well, how do you eatT' I thought I
would lead up to it by degrees, but the
child blurted:
" "With a spoon.' "
"A worse one than that, though, hap
pened when I was telling the class, about
7-year-olds, mind you, about bullets. Why
children should be told about bullets I
don't know but It comes In the thousand
and one things, nowadays, so we tell them.
I had told them about the also and weight
and shape of bullots, and how terribly fast
they went and what damage they did and
what happened to people who got In their
way. Then I turned to one of the children
and asked:
" 'What would you do if you were struck
by a bullet?'
"There was a moment's pause, and then
the answer, in tone of awe:
"'I'd cry.'
That was not the answer I wanted, of
BORAXOLOGY
The creed of the Boraxologist is simply
this: "Be kind, calm and hustle-and
use plenty of BORAX."
BORAX is nature's greatest cleanser.

can't get a thing clean, put a little Borax

affects, and then asked her again:

Pay of Sohool Tea a era.
American school teachers, as compared
with teachers of other countries, are paid
like bank presidents. That may explain
In part their reputation for being the best
teachers.
Even the English teachers, who are re
garded by teachers of continental Europe
as high-salaried workers, earn much less
than the American. Differences In condl
tlons. and In the cost of living especially.
would have to be considered, but even In
the light of all this the American teacher
is the best paid In the. world.
In spite of this the American teacher
wants an Increase In salary In many of
the large cities and Justly Is entitled to It,
it Is claimed. ,
While the men principals In England
earn about $60 a year, the women prlncl
pals earn less than $U0, and tho woman
grade teaoher earns about Izal
In the Canadian country districts few
women teachers receive more than $4
week, while in Toronto and other oltlea.
after ten years' service, they may earn as
high as (400 a year. A man principal may
earn as high as $1,500 In the city districts.
It must be taken Into consideration, how
ever, that In Canada the cost of living Is
lower than in the United States.
In Belgium a teaoher starts with $142, in
addition to free rant. Advance In salary
are madewlth good conduce. The advance
Is not rapid, but at the end of five years an
addition of $4 a year Is made; at the end
of ten years, $40; at the end of fifteen, $40,
and after twenty years, an addition of $120.
Although Prussia has traced three vlcto
rious wars to its school teachers, the king
dom continues to reward these services
with "encomiums," and not with salary,
The condition of the Prussian teacher Is
not one of luxury, nor Is It calculated to
foster extravagant habits. In the country

Frenoh teachers are no better paid than
the Prussian. The French Parliament re
cently has consented to raise the salaries a
little, though the increase Is to be made
gradually, and it will take four or five
years to complete the reform. As a be
ginning It has been decreed that no
teachers shall be employed at less than
1200 a year. This applies to assistant
teachers, and the regular teachers are to
receive no -less than $220.
Italy Is trying to be honest wlt'i Its
school teachers, but Parliament has refused
thus fnr to do much in the way o2 pen
slons, and salaries remain low, the max!
mum In the city schools being $232.
In The Netherlands the state of publlo
education Is of a high standard and sala
ries are in harmony with general condi
tions. There Is no compulsory reMglous
education In the public schools and the
state maintains a number of richly en
dowed institutions for the education of
teachers. No teacher receives less than
$160.
Portugal pays ridiculously low salaries,
the minimum being $96 and the maximum,
in cities like Lisbon and Oporto, $135.
Norway and Sweden were the first Euro
pean countries to pay decent salaries to
men teachers, but even In these countries
the services of women are undervalued
According to the law of 1848, men are paid
$130 at the start, together with free lodgings
and fuel. From this the salary Increases
to $800 a year. In addition. In the country
districts, the teacher Is given his home
free and the maintenance of two cows.
Feeding; School Children) In Germany
United States Consul Warner,' at Lelpslo,
Germany, In a report to the Department of
Commerce, says:
"In the large German cities there are
many children who must attend school, be
ginning at 8 o'clock in winter and 7 In sum
mer, who do not get enough to eat for
breakfast, especially In the winter months,
Consequently, arrangements have been
mnde In a number of places for providing
the neoessary food for those in need in
order that they may be better able to profit
by the instruction given them.
With the exception of Berlin, Barmen,
Brunswick and Nuremberg, not only the
poor, but the sick and Infirm children were
also given breakfast. In Madgeburg food
is only supplied in very hard winters. In
tend of breakfast, dinner Is given to the
children In Dresden, Munich, Stettin and
Strossburg, but in Munich It Is projected to
also furnish breakfast In Hamburg there

Is attached great weight to providing proper
dinners for the children. Wi expense of
whloh amount to about 28,000 mark ($6.M4)
annually. In Brunswick. Breslau, Cologne,
Kiel, Posnn and Nuremberg dinner. In ad
dltloa to breakfast. Is also furnished.
"In Breslau. Charlottenburg, Dusseldorf,
Halle, Mannheim and Madgeburg the food
Is distributed by publlo Institutions, while
In the other towns It Is furnished by char
itable societies. The municipal authorities
of Danilg, Dortmund, Hamburg, Hanover,
Konlgsberg and Posen contribute toward
these funds, however.
"The breakfast 1 not always the same.

Plea foe Hta Teachers.
"On of the crying seed of the publlo
schools, not merely In this olty, but
throughout the country. Is for men teaclT-
ers," says the Brooklyn Eagle. "Our
fathers, with their district schools, under
stood the matter In a rough way. They
hired a man teacher for tho winter months,
when the big boy went to school, and
passed around the summer school for the
girls and little boys among their own
daughters, frequently choosing a girl who
expected to get married and needed the
money for her 'setting out.' That was
not a high Ideal of education, but It did
more than keep order In the school house
In the winter, the theory on which the man
teacher was hired. It set before Ui grow.
Ing boys in their formative period a man
model; It put over them a superior who
would understand the dlflerehce between
mere youthful high spirits and meanness
and fundamental wickedness. A we have
grown more civilized It has become easier
to preserve order In schools and tho man
teacher ha disappeared. During the oivfl
war he could not be spared for teaching
and since that time the precedent then es
tablished of javlng money by hiring women
has become hardened Into almost universal
practice. And yet the boys In cities need a
man model during their last years In the
grammar school and through their high
school course far more than country boys
ever did. A considerable portion of our
school children come from tho homes of
immigrants where no English Is spoken.
Tho refining influence of American woman
hood, the value of the American standards
of manners, as exemplified by our woman
teachers, In worth as much to those chil
dren as the lessons they learn from their
books. But the boys of such home ought
to be brought Into close contact with an
educated American man before the law
permits them to go out and become bread
winners. They would absorb more of the
Desi American citizensnip in that way
than they can ever got In any other."
AUSTRALIA GOES BACKWARD
Steamer Lea-Tina; the Country Are
Crowded with Passengers Cause
of the Exodus.
Tho exodus from Australia, according to
the English press, Is causing alarm In the
commonwealth. The steamers leaving
Australian ports have their accommoda
tlons booked for weeks ahead. In tho first
six months of 1903 the departures from New
South Wales alone for ports outside the
commonwealth reached 16,327, exceeding
the arrivals by 2,115, and In addition there
was a large emigration from New South
Wales and Victoria to western Australia
Canada, South Africa and even Oreat
Britain aro receiving Australian Immi
grants.
This movement Is attributed by the Lon
don Olobe to the socialist labor legislation
In New South Wales and Victoria. The
people who are leaving are described as
'mostly a class who have been born or
long settled In Australia, many being
steady, competent tradesmen; not a few
belonging to the ranks of master crafts
men, others being pastoralists, farmers,
station handsin fact, the very men of
whom the commonwealth stands most In
need. Scarcely any are trade unionists.
The nonunlonlst, under the new order of
things, ha no plaoe in Australia. The
New South Wales Industrial arbitration
court and the Victorian wages boards each
refuse to recognise his existence. He must
either Join a trade union or starve."
The population of New South Wales was
almost stationary In the ten years be
tween 1801 and 1901, and since then It has
sharply declined. In the ten years ending
with 1901 112.679 more people left Victoria
than entered It. The principal states of
the commonwealth are overloaded with
debt, and when it Is proposed to launch
upon new public undertakings to supplant
private enterprise, the answer to any ques
tion as to where the money Is to come
from Is: "Increase tho taxation on capital."
No wonder." says the English observer,
the capitalists a well as the laborers
are anxious to leave a country in which
they are treated a enemies of the publlo
welfare."
Australia la declared to be capable of
supporting th population of Europe sev
eral times over. It is a "country whose
state Industrial Institutions are now run
solely in the Interests of the worker, whose
politician leave no stone unturned to meet
hi every demand, in which, out of all
countries in the world, It might be thought
that labor had found It elystum, and yet
th. worklngroan, as well a his employer,
finds he cannot make a living In it."

Australia Is stationary or declining. The

Modern Battleship.
TRYING SUSPENSE 0T OFFICERS AND CREW
Preparations Methodical to tk Last
Degree Relief Comes Waem the
Boom of tae First Gaa
la Hoard.
Lieutenant Charles Cleig. formerly of
the British navy, describes in the Chicago
Chronicle . the suspense . to which officer
and crew of a battleship are subjected
during the moments preceding a battle.
He say:
A fleet of six gray battleships is steam
ing rapidly in a calm sea. Far ahead of
the fleet can be distinguished the hulls and
slender masts of several cruisers. These
are the scouts, the "eyes" of the fleet,
upon which the admiral relies for news of
the enemy's movements. Other cruisers,
out of sight of the battle fleet, are scour
ing the seas upon some prearranged plan.
Let us, however, confine our attention to
tho battle fleet. The six great armorclads
are all of one type, forming a homogene
ous squadron. Each is of 16,000 tons dis
placement, of equal speed and carries sim
ilar guns. To the eyes of the landsman
they are like as half a dozen dried peas
and their similarity Is accentuated by the
gray paint that covers them from truck
to water line. They are formed In two
divisions, not as yet in order of battle.
The two leading ships each flies an ad
miral's flag. The divisions are six cables
apart (1.200 yards), but the space between
each unit is but 400 yeards and this In
terval, you will notice, is maintained with
an accuracy won by constant practice.
Little smoke issues from the tall, gray
funnels. In tho smooth sea the heavy
ships have no perceptible motion, though
you nan see they are making progress
by the white foam at the bows and by th
broad ribbon of foam churned up by the
twin screws of each vessel.
Sighting; the Enemy.
Presently a red and white "answering'
pennant streams from the masthead of
the flagship. One of the scouts is signal
ing. It begins to close with the squad
ron. One perceives that other and mure
distant cruisers are also steaming back
to the fleet. We guess the reason long be-
fore our keen-eyed signalman can dis
tinguish the message. The enemy ha been
sighted some twenty miles to the east
ward. Such Is the welcome news. At
onoe the flagship runs up a signal: "Pre
pare for action; form the order of bat
tie." For in these days of fast steaming
twenty miles interval affords but com'
fortable breathing space unless the enemy
decides to run away. If he is bearing
down upon us we may be within range
of him in a quarter of ar hour. Such, it
seems, is his design, so our ships must
form at once Into single line.
Let us note what preparations are being
madu for the coming battle. The game
has been rehearsed often enough so often,
indeed, that we can hardly realize that
this is at last the real thing, the grim
reality. Take any ship at random. The
same preparations are being made in all
Seven hundred men are going about their
ordinary business. Suddenly a bugle blares
out the familiar oall to "general quar

away every man begins td run to 'his ap

up Into the casemate through a round1

Twenty or thirty rounds soon accumulate
and the gun's crew will stake their lives
against the entry of a shell through th

"Steam ready for eighteen knots, sir." and
o forth. The chief quartermaster, a
bearded veteran, sprucely dressed, grasps
the spokes of tha steering wheel and keep
an attentive eye upon the captain. Not
a man can now be seen upon the upper
deck, but In the thinly protected top on
the foremast a few hands and a middy
are clustered around a three-pounder gun.
All Is now ready. The fleet Increase
speed and th. cruisers, closing In, one
after another, take station to the rear.
Bo we wait a period of anxious suspense,
since scarcely a dozen men of the 700 can
see tho approaching enemy. At last th.

tain give an order through the tube to

HOLD TO BARBARIC USAGES
Deeomtlea of Philippine Chorchea
u Cemeteries Exceedingly
Vniqna.
"On. of th. great curlosltl. to Ameri
cans who first visit th. Philippines," said
an army officer who has Just returned
after a three year's detail In th. archi
pelago, "Is the method of decoration used
in th. churches and cemeteries, especially
In th. matter of the statues of Christ and
the Virgin. Almost all tho statues of the
Savior In countries whose population la
daik-sklnned are of an Ethiopian hue and
bear the facial characteristic of th. na
tives. It would never do to depict a
Filipino Christ as a white man for th.
reason that the natives would not under
stand or respect it as highly as they
would a divine leader of fhelr own race.
And It follows that the mother of Christ
must also bo a black or at least of a dark
hue.
"Out one of the funniest things that
ever caught my eye was a statue In a cem.
etery in Luzon. There was a glass case
as high as a man and perhaps four feet
square placed in a prominent part of the
city of tho dead that caught and held th.
eye. Upon closer inspection the case was
seen to contain .a statue of a woman.
She was gowned in the most elaborate
fashion known to the Filipino dressmaker,
and a modem hat of the Gainsborough
type was set Jauntily over her ear, tho
broad rim falling away In a dashing style
from her left eyo. The hat was the most
attractive feature of the whole thing, be
ing a really stylish creation, copied, with
out a doubt, from some fashion book of
New York styles.
"At tho foot of this wonderful statue
were representations of many of tho an
imals of the Philippine forest, all coming
up to worship it, and as a curiosity It had
no competitor In the entire island. But
the officers and soldiers of the army who
were In the neighborhood, and who all
went to see It, were at a loss to under
stand Its moaning until a padre camo to
the rescue. He explained that It was a
statue of the Virgin Mary, and the con
sternation of the Catholic soldiers may
be Imagined when they looked upon what
they thought to be a desecration of a
sacred subject.
"Tho padre, however, soon quelled their
anger by explaining to them that the Fil
ipino wanted as much decoration for his
religious subjects as ha could get, and
that ho would not appreciate a statue of
the Virgin clad In the garments that are
familiar to us as the raiment of purity.
He demanded more than a simple gar
ment wound about the form, and the
priests had to respond to tho demand In
order to have their teachings command
respect. The customary garb of the Vir
gin is too much like that worn by the
natives to appeal to them, and they would
not readily admit the superiority of a
being whose dress was not more elaborate
than their own. So It is as much a custom
of the country to dress the Virgin In fine
raiment as it Is to paint tho face and
body of the Christ to correspond with
tho hue which is familiar to th natives.
