There never was a time in the his
tory of the world when there was as
much provision made for the care of
orphans and abandoned children as
there is now.
This fact shows that the world is
growing more kind but at the same
time these asylums are encouraging a
kind of crime that has always been
prevalent to some extent but never so
much as now. The records of New
York show that there are more child
ren deserted by their parents now
than there ever have been before.

abandoning their children on the used to carry passengers to the Main

The Rapid Decrease in the Number of Male
Teachers in Nebraska.
In the NK)-page biennial report of the
state educational department for l!K)2
1!H)4, which has just made its belated
appearance from the press. Former
State Superintendent Fowler calls at
tention to the continuous decrease in
the number of male teachers employed
in the schools, notwithstanding the
constant increase in the wages paid.
In 1!K) there were 2, Mil men employed
in the schools, but in 1004 there were
only l.:;s: out of a total of i,714 teach
ers employed. During the past four
years, the decrease in the number of
male teachers has been 3:5 per cent and
the wages have risen '10 per cent. The
changes are attributed to the prosper
ity in other lines of business which
have lessened the comparative attrac
tiveness of the teaching profession
from a financial point of view.
"In the seventeenth biennial report
of this department," says the author
of the volume just issued, "I called at
tention to the rapid decrease in the
number of men employed from year to
year in teaching school. In 18!) there
were 2,860 men thus employed, 2,062 in
1900; 1,840 in 1H01; 1,862 in PK)2; l,4!o in
VMl, and l,3s in 1S04. During the
same time the increase in the number
of women teachers more than offset
this loss of men, for the total number
of teachers was 9,46.' in 1900: 9,620 in
1902: 9,714 in 1904. As stated two years
ago, if the loss of male teachers is to
be charged to low salaries, as is custom
ary, we must make our comparisons
between the salaries paid men for
teaching and the salaries paid in other
professions and trades and various
lines of business, and not between the
salaries paid men for teaching and the
salaries paid women for teaching, for
men are paid more than women, and
men are paid better wages now than a
few years ago."
The former superintendent deplored
this tendency towards a decrease in
the number of male teachers as a de
fect in the American school system,
adopting the following sentiment re
cently expressed by Leslie M. Shaw,
secretary of the treasury:
"The boy never sees much of his
father; all he sees are other boys and
some very excellent women teachers.
But you cannot rear a man without
bringing the boy in contact with a
man, just as sure as the world."

A Touching Story
is the saving from death, of the baby
girl of Geo. A. Eyler, Cumberland, Md.
He writes: At the age of 11 months,
our little girl was in declining health,

physicians gave her up. We were al
most in despair, when we resolved to

see how some trifling hound of a man
or some woman who does not want to
be bothered with the care of children
would argue that they were doing a
good thing for the children by aband

clothed and better educated than they
would be if left with their parents.
And the fact is that the children are
better taken care of than they would

numerous testimonials, with signa
