FIGURES FROM SEVERAL CITIES from the Itcinuncrntlon the future. > f lie .Service CJIvpM the" Tenehcr n TrnliilitK of lllnli- o l Value. ' The remuneration for trained kindergarten teachers equals , and In many cities exceeds the averaga salaries pnld to women along other lines of work , as will bo scon by the following tabulated result : Kor a kindergarten principal , Hartford pays nn average salary of $1,000 $ ; Providence , $750 ; Iloaton , | C50 ; New York and Hochcatcr , JB50 ; DCS Molncs nnd Buffalo , $ GOO ; Cambridge , $520 ; Albany , $3CO , and Philadelphia , ? 475. 1'or those contemplating taking up the kindergarten teaching professionally , says the Detroit Free Press , n year Is the very short est tlmo that should bo given to study of the system practically and theoretically , while nn additional year ns assistant la further roftilnlto | to fit n student to become director of n school , i The outlay necessary for the first course Biiggestcd , which Is usually under the direc tion of a private teacher , Is $100 a year , In cluding all Incidental expenses , such us mate rial , etc. The normal course In the various colleges nhd schools of kindergarten Is of two years' duration with n tuition fee of $100 a ycir , Including all minor expenses. The question of board IB to bo considered as nn additional item In either case. There ore many practical klndcrKnrtners who have profited by the shorter course , but the theory Is advanced that a comprehensive study of kindergarten philosophy cannot be obtained during the working period of one year , from September to Juno. The claps hours usually occupy a halt of each day , but the student must apply her- Fclt closely to tbo work , to the exclusion of minor detractions , thus enabling her to thor oughly master the Froebel principle nn < l the vailous studies which are clovely allied to It. The requirements of any student entering the normal course are a good general educa tion ionic knowledge of drawlcs and music tind she must possess Btifllcle't culture to warrant lier pursuing the profession. The course Includes the Froebc.l theory the gift occupation and games tlie funda mental principles of the sciences ( biology , botany , mlneroltgy , zoology nnd physiology ) physical and voice culture , freehand drawIng - Ing , besides lectures on literature , psychology , art and general kindergarten' ' subjects. The next meet Important' step after gradua tion Is obtaining a pa.o'tlon. ' Mart of the normal schools and institutions , where the curriculum Includes the kindergarten course , endeavor tr < obtain work for their graduates , nnil are measurably successful , as application la made to them by llio desiring teachers. Uvcn for those who do not desire to adopt this profession ns a career , the benefits aris ing from Its acquirement arc many and vareJ. ! Till ) care of children enters Into the life of the majority of women , whether they beccine mothers or not. Then the mental and moral piano women attain through the advantage 'of a kindergarten training , enables them to undertake any profession or Industrial call ing with a well-balanced and cultured under- ctandlng. Hnblts trained to observation and logical thinking , , a thorough groundwork of the primal tenets of physics and the sclenc&s , a knowledge nnd application of metaphysics , \vhlcSi Is the open sesime to character study , and finally surpassing all , a consclonsnera that life Iq methodized by duty , qualifies the trained klndcrgartner to become the master of circumstances. She need never fear to find hcreelf nt , n , disadvantage among cor potltors. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ No UNO for n Illediutnry. A coed story comes from Meeker county , this state , relates the Minneapolis Journal , nnd has to do with n well known school district here. When It came tlmo last sum mer to hire a teacher the local board dis covered that there were two applicants , both young men. As to salary there was no dlf- fcrcnco between their bids , but the fcccond ono Insisted that , If he were employed , the board should provide n dictionary for the school room. The first one made no such demand , and said that he would be well able to get along without a dictionary. As he expressed It , It was useful only In the matter of defining words and giving their "pronunciation.1 Number one got the school. Last week the board made Its first visit to the building. Everything went well for the first fiftecn'mlnutes , but finally n red-headed , Irexkle-faced youth In the rear of the room held up his right hand and snapped his lingers In a very energetic manner. "What Is It , Charley ? " asked the teacher "I want to know how to pronounce n word , " said Charley. "Spell It , ; ' replied the teacher. "Charley , In a loud voice , spelled out the word "voenbulnry. " "Vo-ca-bull-ary , " responded the teacher , placing the accent on the "bull ; " and he added , as to lit. meaning , "Appertaining to horned cattle. " The board cut short Its visit , and Is now looking for a new teacher and getting ready to buy 'an unabridged dictionary. xt Attfiiilniiec The following teachers lead their respective buildings In. per cent of attendance : Miss Llttlufleld , Lalhrope ; Miss Wilbur , Lincoln ; Mlus Jordan , Clifton Hill ; Miss Upham , Bancroft ; Miss Lately , Vlnton ; Miss Salmon , "Windsor ; MUs Hobert , Central Park : Miss Humphrey , Sherman ; Miss Foos.

A movement Is on foot for the establish ment of a lunch counter In the basement of the High school building. Its promoters base their demand on the claim that waim lunches nro net only preferable to cold lunches , but also more healthful. Ralph Plerson , ' 91 , Is making n crcat rec ord nt Harvard. Last year Plerson carried oft class honors and prizes , and his marks show he will do the same this year. Plerson was one of the editors cf the Register dur ing * 93-94. and was one of the most popu lar , brilliant anil energetic fellows In school. The recommendation of Lieutenant Penn that proficiency In military drill bo made ono of the requirements for graduation for those enrolled In the military companies Is not recclvfil with unqualified favor among the students. No objection Is raised to credit ' being'given on diplomas for work In the Military department , but It Is urged that many would be prevented from graduating If Mr. Pcnn's Idea were adcpted and strictly enforced.

There are CO.OOO chil dren unable to secure accommodations In the school ? . The sweeping- cut of salaries and expense ! rejected by the Board of Education of Chicago cage last December returns to plague the board and agitate the teachern Last week the city council cut down the estimates of the school hoard by nearly $2,000,000 , thus forcing the board to economize or go deeply into debt. MlM Lucella Williams , who died recently at South Deerfleld , Mass. , was one of two sisters who founded the famous Hampton ( Va. ) school for nopro and Indian children. She also established tlio Stanton Institute at Jacksonville , Fla. , and , with her sister , who Is still living , labored there for seven years with great success. The Iowa Stnte Teachers' association Is urging the passigo of two Important meas ures by the legislature. One calls for the establishment of five state normal schools for the training of teachers. The second Is a free text book : scheme , giving each district the right to vote on paying taxes to furnish frco books for pupils. Iowa at present has ono normal school which Is a state Institu tion. Several private Institutions have been established , but the facilities for training teachers arc Inadequate. There arc 2,700 teachers In Iowa and they received In 1895 an average salary of $30. In 1S91 the male teachers received an average of $37 nnd fe- maled $30. Last year the gerferal average was reduced ; this Is mentioned to show the inauiiuy or mo icacnera 10 lurnisn tnem- solves with Instruction. Iowa docs not spend $2,500 a year In educating her teachers. Pennsylvania , New York , Wisconsin and Cal ifornia have spent pearly $500,000 a year In the work.

John McQuoid at First Methodist , CONGREGATION GREETS A NEW PASTOR I'rcnclicr Olvrn Sonic Iilcn of tlie llnaln 0i Which He Will Attempt * tempt to llullii HI * Work In Oniiilui , The First Methodist church wns filled yes terday morning by nn unusually large con gregation , which gathered to hear the first sermon of the new pastor , Rev. John Me- Quolil , who has come to Omaha after a mosl successful pastorate of four years at Olathe , Kan. Kan.Tho The text \\as from First Corinthians , "And I , brethren , when I came to you , came not with excellency of speech nor of wisdom , de claring unto you the testimony of Qcd. For I determined not to know anything among you , save Jesus Christ , nnd Him crucified. " "Tho Alms and Methods of the Ministry" wns the topic which the new pastor spoke on. Paul found In his ministry to the Corinthians that all the wisdom and nil the philosophy of men could not strike deep enough to dc the work that was wanted , the salvation of men's souls. Paul found men enthralled In sin and asked , "Where can I find power to save them ? " He found It In Jesus Christ , the source of nil power for good. H Is Christ faithfully preached that has the power of giving to this world whatIt needs. In structing the intellect Is not saving the souls of men. "It Is n great mistake , however , to suppose that before the advent of Christ no effort to morally renovate man had been made. There were the Greek trainers nnd the tem ples of the Greek dollies , nnd although they word formed on wrong notions of God , II must bo a bold man and nn Ignorant mar who would deny that great good resultci from these Greek Institutions. But It must bo a bolder nnd more Ignorant man. who would affirm that these Institutions were as great powers for good as Is Christianity. " ADOPTS PAUL'S PLAN. "Paul's letters to the Corinthians show that he was ready to preach on any topics that might help to uplift mankind. What ever I may dlscuw , I would discuss from the standpoint of Jesus Christ and Him crucified , taking my stand by the cross , ns did Paul. There Is nn Incorrect Idea prev alent toJay that a preacher must drag In the plan'of salvation at the termination of cVery sermon , no matter what may be the subject. This docs not agree with the spirit of Paul , as Is often thought to bo the case. Christ sold , 'Follow Me , nnd I will make you fishers of men. " Sermons are the books with which wo must catch these human souls. There nro ministers who can make rods and lines and reels and hooks , all ol the finest quality , but they do not know how to use them after they get them. A minis ter who knows how to make sermons , but who does not know how to get hold of pee ple's hearts , doesn't know how to preach. "The first condition upon which success In the ministry Is based Is the presence of Jesus Christ In the preacher's own heart. We can preach about Christ , but no man can speak of the Joy of Christ's salvation unless he has experienced It In his own heart. It Is not enough to know theology. There is no harm In knowing theology ono might know worse things but the preacher must have Christ right In his own heart. The minister Is not the- only preacher. Every father , every mother , every school teacher , every disciple of Christ , no matter what position ho may occupy , has a mission to preach the gospel of Christ and Him cruel- fled , t tl | i , ' I , , . , , > ' ; "Ho will be most successful In preaching who has the most , effective power in presentIng - Ing the truths of Jesus Christ. It Is all right to speak of ethical relations ; It Is all right to make use of literature and history , but high above all these must stand the Lord Jesus Christ , who was slain for sin ners. If a preacher leaves out this truth from his sermons , or abbreviates It , ho can not meet with success. WILL AVOID SILVER QUESTION. "Secular subjects must be treated from the standpoint of the cross. I know there nro those who seriously object to the Intro duction of secular or ethical topics In the pulpit , but I am of the opinion that a min ister Is right In making use of such sub jects , providing he considers them with the purpose of applying divine truths to them and thereby elevating manktnd. showing to his hearers the course the Master would pursue In reference to these matters. I can sco no harm In speaking of agriculture , economics or other secular questions from thd pulpit , providing the spirit of Jesus Is constantly kept In mind. The probabilities are that I may speak on such topics , ex cepting , of course , the silver question. It shall bo my aim that such questions may be discussed not In n secular spirit , but In the spirit of Jesus Christ. "The preacher must assert the unity of human life. Wo too commonly divide our llvea Into two distinct classes ; religious and tccular. Wo Imagine that God bas built our souls with separate compartments. Away up In the attic compartment we find room for our religious Ideas. Once a week we take an elevator nnd go up-ln this religious attic to worship. The minuter should preach that a man's religion Is Just as much a part of his character in the office , In the shop , In the club , or wherever the man may be , as In the church. "There are two theories regarding the office of religion. The one Is that the only thing the gospel Is for Is. as a lifeboat.to save an occasional soul. The other theory holds that while Individual Bouls are being Kived , that Is only a email portion of the glorious kingdom that Is to come ; that the millennium will surely come to us , that we shall not go to Christ's kingdom 'but ' that It will 'come to us. I need not tell you , my brethren and sisters , that the latter theory \a \ the one I cling to , and1 that It.shall form no small part of the gospel which I shall endeavor to preach to you. MUST OFFEND SOME. "Finally , there nro two great dangers In preaching God's -word. The first Is for n man tn preach the gospel BO that Ills preach ing shall not bo a rebuke to the wlcbednesa In the community. The danger Is that ho may try to please every one. The preacher who never offends any ono , no matter what his life may be , falls short of his duty. The pccond danger xla that In dealing with the sinful the preacher may forget Ulirlst and his method of rescuing the perishing. Christ didn't drive men an * women away from their sins. Ho rather led them away from them to Himself. " At the clos ) of the sermon , which was listened to with rapt attention by the largo audience , Mr. McQuoid made an earnest ap peal for the sympathy tuU co-operation of the members of his now congregation. He tuilo them to bear with him kindly and to make every endeavor to become closely ac quainted with him. Ho asked to be criti cised In a Christian spirit , and expressed the hope that the new union might result In great good to all concerned. The now pastor spoke entirely without notes , there not being the suggestion of a paper or other aid on the pulpit. His ser- inon stamped him as a pulpit orator of con siderable power and eloquence. He baa a terse way of putting forth the truths he de sires to emphasize that Is as pleasing as It Is powerful. On all sides were heard words of commendation for the preacher and for the sermon. After the benediction , the nembers of the congregation pressed forward to the chancel and heartily greeted tbo new pastor and his wife. "MICIJ I'lLLAHS OV BMOKI2. " ii _ - , Lenten TlinURlit fur the SOIIHOII nt Grace Milhrrmi Church , Rev , Luther M , Kuhns preached yesterday from the text ; "Who Is this that cometh out of the wilderness jlke pillars of smoke , perfumed * fumed vlth 'myrrh nnd frankfnccnsV Ith all powders ot the merchant ? " Mr , Kuhns said in cart ; "Tbe application Is first to the Hebrews as a church established In tbo long promised Canaan after forty years of wandering tn the wilderness ; to Christ's chosen people of any atre for whom a way baa been opened 'jom tlu to rlButeuunoefrii ; and last , but not least , to tlief.rraclous recovery of tn soul. The 'plllarguof smoke' were causc < by the burning Tfrt-rtumos. The cloud o Incense rose like pillars of smoke. 'So upon the heart's ( nltnr there may burn a devotion ltkc > fibcnn odors From the spicy shorei of Arnby the blest. " "Oftencr than wothink from human hearts the Incense of prayer And praise rises to the white throne ; and Uio > Incense ot life Is the pure devotion .God accepts by visiting the disconsolate with comfort. The pcene rises before me llko.a vision. A woman stood on the borders .of time. She * wns nn Egyptian princess. Across the borders a klnc came to make her his bride. As she came plllrys of ( moke , the perfumeof myrrh nnd the fcagfnnco of frankincense were ln the air. Maidens of the rcnlm wel comed the bride of their sovereign to the kingdom In the choral song ot the court , nil the while swinging the golden censors exhaling redolent Incense from all the pow ders of the merchant. "This Is to encourage you. Christ would win you for His own. By n noble example of wifely zeal nnd devotion the heart Is In spired. Zeal Is contagious. When It burns to white heat the heart Is purified of dross , such as Indolence and Indifference. Modest devotion charms the good , nnd , bowing be fore the shrine of the object of Its worship , kindred spirits are attracted. Let the zca and devotion be that of an Illustrious exam ple of purity nnd goodness , nnd ndmlratlon Inspires the beholders to nn honorable spirit of emulation. "Thus the Lenten period has not subserved Its whole purpose , If It has only cultivated n.'cetlclsm In you. This Is Its somber side It has another phase equally Important. Net only personal devotion and spiritual culture , but deeds of kindness and charity are also essential parts of a true fast , acceptable to God. " I'HACUWAS NOT WITH T11KM Trouble nt 7.1 on lliuttlxt Croiiy Out nt MomliiK Service. The services nt the colored Klon Baptist church yesterday morning were undisturbed although there was some anticipation that the trouble of last Friday night might be continued. There were but few of the con gregation In attendance , nnd the services were begun late. Although 11 o'clock Is the hour at which the Sunday morning service Is supposed to be-gln , It was almost 11:3 : ( o'clock before Pastor J. T. M. Morrison put In an appearance , nnd It was after that time before the congregation ceased to struggle In , There were a number , who , while they engaged In no disorderly conduct , acted In a manner wlildii showed that they wculd not bo disinclined to taking part In any trouble that might be started. A couple of women who occupied front pews giggled and laughed throughout the services. There wns no ser mon , but the meeting was turned Into a "tes timony" meeting , In which the members of the congregation arose and testified to their faith. "Peace" was the topic given out by the pastor. In his remarks he stated thai while he was scared , he nevertheless bore no 111 will , and was at peace with every body. During his remarks , as well as during those of others , who followed , the women persisted In their laughter , and they Indulged In It even when prayer was offered. This brough ! upon them tJio attention of one of the pillars of the church , who cald that these who showed scorn In sacred edifices were likely to meet an unenviable/fate / In the fulure when they were brought before the Judgment seat. The warning failed of , effect. Deacon George SKolUpgg , who was arrested Saturday night , but was released on ball , was In attendance. He came In , sat down by the stove , perched Jils feet upon It , opened a newspaper and began to read. Pastor Mor risen Interrupted Hie services long enough to request him to put ( the paper away , say- Ing that n church/wag.no place tor newspaper reading while seryteesswero being conducted. Kellogg paid 'no ' attention , and continued his perusal'of the'rpapcr. ' He ceased , a short tlmo afterward , . .however , when another deacon remonstrated .emphatically with him. After the serVWes the d > , ectors and trustees 'of ' the cliurch-'lield a.meeting In the corner , but their deliberations wcre.Otept secret. Pas- tor'Mbrrisoh'Xvag susplcous of-tfie-.crowdand stated confidentially that be Intended to watch them when he went out , as he feared that they meant to-xlo hlmi harm. As he ; walked by them he kept a.watchful eye upon tSiem , but he got out unmolested. The -pastor seems to--have but few friends In the congregation , although there are many who deprecate tbo-jdlsturbance of last Fri day night. These comprise the more Intelli gent portion. They , say that they believe that Morrison Is too Illiterate to keep the pulpit , but nevertheless they argue that there -arc other meanu of getting him out than by vie lence. The rpleen against the pastor seems to Is sue from the more Ignorant. It la stated oven by those who have no use for the pas tor that ho Is undoubtedly religious. They say that ho is strict In his morals and re quires every man of the congregation to walk , the straight and narrow path. This Is not pleasing to the more Ignorant portion of the congregation. They have In the past been allowed by former pastors to get drunk and Indulge In considerable license. Pastor Mor risen has emphatically frowned down upon this and has brought n number of the cul prits to account. This Is what hurts , ac cording to people who nre not by any means the pastor's friends. Mr. Morrison positively refuses to vacate his pulpit. At the meeting of last Friday night ho handed In his resignation to take effect on May 31 , but his enemies demanded that It take effect at once. Then the trouble began. The pastor offered to leave at once If his March salary were paid. This propo sition was Indignantly rejected. Then he offered to make n compromise by leaving on the second Sunday In April. This also wao refused and the matter was allowed to re main In statu quo until a meeting this week. "According to the rules of the Baptist church , " said Mr. Morrison , "a pastor maybe bo requested to resign If he Is unsatisfactory , but he cannot bo compelled to leave until three months after the resignation Is ac cepted. Therefore I do not Intend to leave unless I am forced to. If they decide to fire mo at once I will sue the church for back salary and also for the salary for the tliroo months that I should bo allowed to remain. " Mr. Morrison states that ho bears two wounds from the two shots that were fired at him Friday night. William Bonford and George Kellogg , the men supposed to have fired the shots , were arrested Saturday night. DIl. FJIAXKM.V Wllih IIUMAI.V.

Lieo AI , I'Taiuum was unanimously re-elected to fill the pulpit of the congregation for * a further term of five years , beginning September 1 , 189G. For some weekairumors have been going l 'no rounds , that Pr. Franklin was about to accept a call from a i largo eastern congre gation , but the actioaitaken yesterday shows how sincerely his , present constituents would regret hla departure from this field of lab r. Before the meeting adjourned , a committee waited upon Dr. H'ranlldii , acquainting him with the action oti his congregation , as em bodied In the. subjoined resolutions. In acknowledging the > hqnor that had been con ferred upon him , 'Dr. ' ! Franklin made some very touching and 'clpquent remarks , speak ing of the tie of ( friendship ttiat had bound htm to his congregation slnco the. beginning of his labors In this. city.
