IT IS STRANGE that the generous-hearted
American people, who
poured out their riches so prodigally
in response to every patriotic, every
charitable appeal, and who accorded
such enthusiastic and liberal support
to every measure and to every group
that helped win the war, should have
neglected to properly encourage and
leward the services of one of the
noblest professions in the field of
human activities a profession that
in lofty ideals, in unselfish principles,
in sacred responsibilities, stands side
by side with the ministry of the
Gospel itself.
We wish to hes-peak, with what
ever power and authority we may
have and with such words as may bo
granted to us, some measure of con
sideration for the foster-fathers and
mothers of our children the school
teachers of the United States of
America.
There is no class of workers of
which we demand so much. Wc com
mit into their keeping the minds, the
bodies, and the very souls of our
childion in the tender and formative
years of thoir lives, and they, receiv
ing these children, can indeed bo said
to hold in the hollow of their hands
the future of America. We expect
these devoted men and women to
wa Mi over and care for our sons and
daughters as tho they were their
very own, to drill them in the arts
and sciences, to train them for busi
ness and for citizenship, to instruct
them in manners and in morals, to
do for them those things which we
would do hail we tho training and'
tho leisure.
No class has assumed so heavy, so
trying a burden and a responsibility
with such willingness as these conse
crated men and women. No class has
performed their increasingly heavy
tasks more devotedly, more conscien
tiously, and with less thought of self.
No class served their country more
whole hcartcdly, more loyally, dur
ing trying and tempestuous times
of war, day by day pursuing thoir
round of duty, day by day helping
the young people, and through tho
children the parents, to see the
struggle in its true light, thus se
curing the cooperation of the com
munity in every measure undertaken
by the Government to win the war.
Truly they have made the nation
thoir everlastingly debtor. Truly had
they nol done thoir work so well this
republic would not outlast the span
of a generation.
What then have tho teachers re
ceived at our hands in return? They
have received little honor and some
what less of pay. Other classes have
prospered; other classes through
powerful organizations have secured
generous wages. The teachers have
no spokesman, however, to demand
even tho simple justice of a living
wage, so to thorn we give their putty
prewar pittance, so meager, so piti
fully inadequate, that, it place a
burning brand of shame and dis
grace upon this nation.
Tho men and women who ore mak
ing tho Americans of tomorrow are
being treated with less consideration
than the janitors who sweep out the
buildings in which they are employ
ed; they are earning on tho averago
less than the wages given to scrubj
women employed in public bulidings
of the United States Government.
Normal-school graduates receive less
salary than strect-hweepcrs; high
school principals and supeiintcndcnts
less than section foremen; country
school teachers less for instructing
the farmer's children than he pays
his hired man to feed his hogs.
In a certain town of Illinois, for
instance, the average wages of fif
teen miners for one month was $217,
while the average monthly salary of
fifteen teachers in the same town
was $55. In another town a miner,
who, by tho way, was an enemy alien,
uiuw jiiuru man 5,uu last year,
while tho salary of tho high-school
principal in tho same town was $765.
Wo welcome with all our hearts the
long belated recognition that is be
,ing given to tho man who works with
his hands. We believe that this
same workingman will be the first
to join with us in asking better pay
for those who teach his children.
No wonder there are fifty thous
and vacancies in the '"Teaching forces
of tho schools. No wonder tho ranks
are being filled with weak and with
immature women who merely use
tho profession as a stepping-stone to
Bompthing hotter. No wonder 'there.
aro thirty .thousand teachers hi tho
United States yho hiyvc n'o scho6ling
beyond the eighth-grammar grade.
Small wonder, indeed, that seven mil
lion of our school children are bing
trained by teachers, mere boys and
?ir's Hivm, who have had no;
professional education whatever. .
When we consider that the 710,000
teachers of America are paid an av
erage salary of $GJ0 a year; when,
moieoer, wc consider the lact that
living cots have actually advanced
10!1 per cent since tho beginning of
the war, thereby cutting the buying
power of theso insignificant salaries
in half, wo can easily determine
that only a fool or a martyr would
choose teaching as a profession, or
would long remain in it unless these
terrible. conditions wore swiftly reme
dhd.
What a crime is thisl What an in
dictment! What an unpardonable
kin at tho doors of an enlightened
people who now find themselves at
the head and forefront of tho demo
ciaues of tho world! How can we
better prepare for the great under
takings ot reconstruction than by
setting ourselves immediately to
remedying this perilous condition. In
these trying and chaotic times when
tho world is beset by unrest, by an-1
archy, by revolution, by the devil's
brood of appalling evils that follow
in the train of war, wc must make
sure that the foundations of our re
public arc set on a rock that 't may
stand against the flood.
The peace and security of the
world of the future will be in the
safe keeping of the generation now
in our schools. These boys and gins
must "weave up the raveled sleeve"
of civilization. Their hands must '
minister to tho wounds of the na-1
tions. Their minds must meet and
solve the difiicull and crucial prob-1
lcms that will be their inheritance, i
Their hearts must bo so imbued with I
the horrors of war and with the pov
erty and anguish that inevitably
follow in its wake that they in theii
time will enter upon it only as a last
resort in national self-defence or in
support of some great principle ot
humanity.
Never has there been a more ur
gent need for high-minded, great
hearted, splendidly trained, 100 per
cent American instructors to drive
home the vital lessons that these
times hold. Never has the future of
the nation been so clear! v committed
into the hands of the teachers. And !
yet thousands of men and women ot '
ability who would prefer to teach '
are icluctantly leaving their chosen '
calling, forced by the hard neccs-.
sities of Weir very existence. '
The teachers ask no largess at the .
profession for service, not riches.
Dut they invest years of money in
preparation for their life-work and
the knowledge they gain is shared
with others who themselves use it to
their own profit. Teachers, then, by
every right and in all justice expect
a return that will permit -them and
their dependants to live decently anil
in comfort.
In every community reached by
THE LITERARY DIGEST there aro
readers of foresight, of vision, broad
minded men and thoughtful women
who will see nay, perhaps have long
since seen the critical and compel
ling importance of this problem. Wc
are directing this appeal to them.
We urge them to compare the sal
aries of their teachers with the wages
of those who are doing work of equal
value. There will be a challenge in
the facts that will stir the community
to action.
Lot each community invest in
schools so that it may thereby in-vet-t
in a trained manhood and wom
anhood that can play their part in
the great period of rebuilding and re
construction that lies before us. Let
each community set for its goal, as
far as is practicable, a minimum
wage of at least $1,000 a year foi
the teachers of America. This would
cost the nation perhaps as much as
wc spent so gloriously in but one
week of the Great War.
. We are not pleading merely for
the welfare of some single profes
sion; wc are not pleading for a spe
cial class; we arc not pleading for
America; for her larger, her bright
er, her richer future, for the fulfil
ment of her glorious promise. We
arc pleading for n coming race of
men and women who shall be quali
fied to make complete the work of
our forefathers who founded this
nation and dedicated it to liberty,
and who will bring to full fruition
the new victories that wc have won
in freedom's cause. We are plead
ing for a wider teaching of the prin
ciples, the purposes, and the ideals
of this nation thnt all men shall
know her meaning and shall have
equal access to her opportunities;
that the light of Americanism will
so shine that it will flood every
home, every heart, in our great land.

THE FIRE-BOX. within the air-box. is made, not in
pieces, riveted or cemented together by the usual methods
but of steel plates welded together by special welding
machinery, into one piece of continuous metal, making
leakage absolutely and permanetly impossible. The steel
is three-sixteenths inch thick, being much he'avier than
the ordinary furnace steel.
THE FUEL SPACE occupies the middle of the fire-box
above the ash-box. It is long and narrow, and is inclosed
by heavy fire brick linings. The fire door opening is 17
, i inches wide and and 11 inches wide

this furnace valuable superiority
over ordinary furnaces with deep
round fuel pots, and circular or hidden Hue spaces.
THE "FAR QUAR" is designed upon the principle of
slow combustion. II igh temperature in the fuel bed is
avoided. The result is that the gas is evolved slowly and
the fuel substance retained, preventing waste.
FREEDOM FROM CLINKERS is an incidental advan
tage of this slow-coking fire. They are not found in the
FarQuar Self-Regulating Furnace when properly fired.
