OF INTEREST TO PARENTS
AND TEACHERS
How soon will parents nnd taxpay
ers nppreclnto tho teaching force of
our state?
During tho last session of the
Teachers' League of the State of
Pennsylvania, recently .held In tho
Board of Trade rooms In the city of
Hnrrlsburg, tho sentiment most dom
inant Avns one of vigorous action In
securing men or Integrity for tho
next legislature, for which tho pri
maries will be held in Juno of 1312.
It Is positively recognized that men
of rnnk who nro ambitious for tho
futuro citizen (now tho youth of tho
state) to bo clear-sighted, clean cut,
moral In tone, logically educated,
sympathetic with tho following gen
eration of children will bo tho only
ones for whom votes will ho cast by
those men whoso votes will be con
trolled and that Intelligently, by tho
band of 3,500 public school teachers
In this State.
When 3,ii00 school teachers band
together, outsldo of any political
arenn, tho votes they represent will
mean to tho would-be representa
tives 1n tho next session of tho leg
islature that they, the latter, must
bo sure there is no smirch on their
reputations, and too, that they aro
willing to sign such ventures as
those 3,500 school teachers demand.
Thero are before the public now,
having been placed on flle at the last
session of tho legislature, two bills
which this rapidly growing organiza
tion of youth-Instructors demand
shall be passed early in the next ses
sion of tho Legislature, as laws of
our state.
The first is a Tenure of Office Bill,
which contains provision for 30
years' teaching in this state. The
second tho Teachers' Auxiliary
Board Bill, provides that when a
teacher is retired, he or she shall
receive each of the twelve months
of tho year, one-half salary received
per month during the last three
school years of teaching. The Master
Judges' Bill, presented late in the
last session, after the Teachers' Aux
iliary Board Bill was slated, gave
besides an Increase in their already
splendid salaries, the retirement of
Judges on half salary, after such re
tirement If judges, whoso duty it Is more
often to convict to jail than protect
from such verdict, receive such rec
ognition from the legislature, then
there is every good reason to believe
that the teachers will receive their
due rights, for it Is the duty of the
teacher to so instruct as to keep the
citizens out or Jail.
The labor of all professions is
dignified by the individual. When
parents and taxpayers learn that the
Keystone of any state is its public
schools, then those parents and tax
payers will realize the advisability
of electing school boards, posesslng
men and women whoso knowledge of
the Innate as well as the acquired
characteristics of teachers, is always
above the average citizens
Teachers can not be kept In close
sympathy with the usual school child
If the teacher bo harassed by the
consciousness of over-power in finan
clal affairs at tho home. To pro
duce a happy school give the class
a happy teacher. To produce a hap
py teacher make that teacher's en-1
ironment such that she will show in
her face and in each movement,
nothing but happiness. A salary
that will recompense her for her la
bor and thought in tho school and
for the continual preparation outsldo
of tho school walls, and you have
the mlllenium right in your own
household, for the re-bound comes
homo to you, the parents, through
your child.
How many of your parents can re
call tho ejaculation sometime in the
past when Jenny or Jane has return
ed from school, entered tho house
and yelled; " Geo I'd rather go to
school to that teacher than eat ice
cream!" Yes, and many times the opposite,
you can recall. The teacher who has
the burden of responsibility at home
to be lifted by a meagre salary,
shows the strain. If those should
bo made free from unhappy thoughts
1t Is the teaching profession because
the attitude of the instructor Is al
most indelibly Impressed upon the
pupil as the parents facial features
aro ciupJK atctd in many cases,
through the power of pre-natal in
fluence. It is a sure thing that when par
ents find that the Ideals inculcated
by teachers are for tho upward trend
of the future voters and housowives,
then tho parents themselves will be
gin to agitate better pay for tho men
and women who take tho caro of tho
child from the mother's arm at six
and continues tho arduous, nerve
racking oaro until tho time for tho
child's departure in the world of
work.
How Is it, a woman Is permitted to
assume such caro for tho paltry sum
of $280 per year, as in some cases
in our grand old Commonwealth?
Think of t-welvo months, and $280
Is the stipend! Divide $280 by 12
work, and that 1t may look llko
twelve times forty dollars or $480.
:i year ns the uilnulmum saary. Bal
ance tho state appropriations of $50,
000,000 for public roads by tho samo
amount 'for public school teachers.
To thoso who aro not yet ac
quainted with tho objects of tho
League, I'll clto them hero: Tho
Public School Tcachors' League is
independent of all other leagues and
federations in tho Stato or Union.
Tho object Is to bind together tho
teachers for concortcd action and
helpful conference on subjects of
general importance to them.
It desires to uplift and dignify tho
profession of teaching by working
for the enactment of such laws as
may bo necessary to give teachers
permanent positions, bottor salaries
and tho right to nn annuity after
thirty years or more of teaching. It
desires to Improve both tho schools
and tho teachers In overy way con
sistent with common sense and pro
gress. Another aspiration of tho league Is
that tho position carry Its salary re
gardless of either sex, that a woman
teacher receive the samo salary in a
given position as a man teacher.
This law holds good in sixteen of the
most progressive states In tho union,
why not in all? Because the men
youth of our country to bo superior
citizens, honest business men and
sympathic home-bulldors.
When a body of men desire tu
raise pigs, chickens or any othor liv
ing commodity, the men go to con
siderable expense In securing Infor
mation on same. If It is such an im
portant Item to produce superior
pigs, chickens, etc., then tho pro
duction of finished men and women
demand a superior class of people to
give Instruction, and that kind of In
struction demands money, and Its up
to tho next Legislature to see that
the teachers of the state of Pennsyl
vania do not appear below the horl
zon in the line of salaries as their
work has already become the syno
nym of superior labor.

OBTAINED IX 1IOXES-DALE.
Washington, Feb. 2 i . In con
tinental United States there are ap
proximately 45,000 regular troops
During tho calendar year 1911 there
were only thirty-nine cases ot ty.
phold fever among tho troops.
From tho typhoid bacilli a serum
has been made which, when a person
Is inoculated with it, will, ninety
nine times out of one hundred, ren
der the person immune for at least
three years. All the troops were in
oculated In 1911 with the serum, or
prophylax. This accounts for the
low percentage (.05) of typhoid in
the army all but ono case to 2,000
men.
" Tho results obtained by tho use
of tho typhoid prophlax, or serum,
is Indeed remarkable," said Captain
Albert G. Love of tho army medical
corps and assistant to Chief Surgeon
General Torney. " As wonderful as
have been the results, the end has
not yet been reached. Next year
will see tho serum perfected so that
tho period of immunity will be long
er than three years say, live years."
What "has been done In the army
can be done everywhere, according
to Chief Surgeon Torney, and ho is
backed up by Major Frederick F.
Hussell, the typhoid fever serum ex
pert of the medical corps, and Lieut.
Colonel J. H. Kean, assistant to
Torney.
" Thero is absolutely no reason
why typhoid fever in tho United
States should not be reduced at least
7.5 per cent.," said Major Uussell.
" If municipal authorities would
insist upon inoculation against ty
phoid as they do vaccination against
smallpox the reduction of typhoid
cases would bo material," said Lieut.
Colonel Kean.
In tho "maneuver division" camp
at San Antonio last year there were
12,801 officers and men. They wero
In camp from March 10 to July 10.
Thero was but ono case of typhoid
fever, non-fatal, during the period.
In the volunteer camp at Jackson
ville. Fla., in 1898, for tho samo
length of time there wero 10,759 of
ficers and men, 1,729 cases of ty
phoid, with 24 8 deaths.
And while tho troops in camp at
San Antonio had but ono case in four
months, tho city of San Antonio had
forty-nine cases with nineteen
deaths.
Tho conditions at tho "maneuver
division" site were not tho best. Tho
men constantly lived amid either
dust or mud. It rained continually
for days after tho men began to ar
rive. After tho rain ceased and the
mud dried there camo dust. The
natural conditions wero conducive to
typhoid. It was inoculation and Im
proved 'methods of sanitarium in the
camp that prevented an epidemic.
Perhaps one-fourth of the men ar
rived at San Antonio Inoculated.
WOULD MEAX.
Senator Penroso delivered an ad
dress at Pittsburg In which ho gave
a perfect reason why a Republican
administration nnd a Republican
Congress should bo firmly established
at Washington.
SInco tho oloctlon of 1892, wnen
Grover Cleveland was sent to tho
Whlto House with a Congress strong
ly Democratic In both houses behind
him, a new generation of voters hns
conio up. very wisely tlio senator
called tho attention of those young
men to a bit of history with which
they aro not fnnilllnr from actual ex
perience.
Tho country was exceedingly pros
perous, hut tho agitator was with us
then as ho is to-day. Wo heard tho
samo old sophistries about the rob
bery of tho people through tho 'pro
tective policy. A majority of tho I
voters listened and they overthrow
tho Republican control, and with it
the protective tariff, and tho Demo-'
cratic Congress proceeded to revise
the schedules with a bill of Its own,
just as a Democratic House Is trying
to do to-day.
The result? Let Senator Penrose
tell you 'In these words: "It Is esti
mated that this measure cost the
country In business loss and stagna
tion more than the entire cost of the
Civil War."
Tho Senator qotes official figures
when ho says that during the first
year of "tariff reform" In Pennsylva
nia alone thero was a decrease in tho
number of persons employed of over
ten and one-half per cent.; of nearly
fifteen and one-half per cent, in tho
total wages paid, and of nearly a
similar percentage in the average
wage. In the second year of this
Democratic: tariff measure another
eleven per cent, wns cut from the
average wago paid, with a reduction
of over sixteen per cent, in the value
of products. This decline continued
throughout Cleveland's term.
There came a repulsion of senti
ment. President McKlnley was
elected In 1900, and in the course of
time the Dlngley bill was enacted.
There followed a revival of business.
Hero are some of Penrose's offlcal
figures: "In 1899 a marked increase
is shown ill all lines In Pennsylvania.
In the rolled iron and steel industry
there Is an increase of 30 per cent, in
the number of men employed com
pared with 1895, and 04 per cent, in
the wages paid. In pig iron, 31 per
cent, increase in men employed and
03 per cent, in wages paid. In tin
plate work, an Increase of 140 per
cent. In men employed and ISO in
wages
It was universal through the in
dustrial sections of the country, this
discharge of work men under Dem
ocratic administration, this de
crease of wages paid thoso who con
tinue working, this return to pros
perity with the advent of McKlnley
and tho Dlngley tariff.
And just as the agitators wero
telling us of the woes of the coun
try during tho Cleveland campaign of
1892. they aro telling us now that
thero is nothing to do but elect a
Democratic President in November
next, together with a Democratic
Congress, in order that the tariff may
bo slashed to tho breaking point.
There Is not the slightest use in
trying to conceal the fact that the
Republican control of tho country is
seriously menaced. There is no
doubt in tho world that tho high
price of provisions has had a far-
reaching effect, for tno agitators tell
the unthinking that theso high prices
are duo to tho protection policy.
What they do not tell tho peoplo is
that these high prices are not con
fined to tho United States, but aro
mot with everywhere. In Franco
thev have even caused riots, in Eng
land they have produced tremendous
labor upheavals.
Shall history repeat itself? If so,
there wlli be a Democratic adminis
tration, nnd should that evil befall
us, tho wreck and ruin of business
will follow as surely as night follows
day, and day follows night. We
shall have onco moro the streets fill
ed with the unemployed, tho mills
barred to workmen, or their wages
reduced to a starvation level; tho
charitable free soup kitchen alono
prospering of nil the Industries.
