FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1901.
OFFICIAL figures flatly contradict the pessimistic theory that men are grow ing more dishonest. Certainly the men who handle money belonging to the United States government are not growing more dishonest. The total defalcations of United States government officials from the foundation of the government amount to 816,000,000, not a large sum when compared with the enormous amount handled during that period. The defalcations for the ten years from 1860 to 1870 were greater than for any similar period owing to the demoralization consequent upon the civil war, but since then the percentage of losses by the government through dishonesty has grown less and less.
EX-SENATOR GORMAN is playing for a bigger stake than his old seat in the senate, in trying to re-establish his hold on the state of Maryland. He wants the senatorship, of course, if he can get it, which Maryland Republicans do not believe, but it is to be only a stepping stone to the Democratic nomination for President. According to a senator, who presumably knows all about it, Mr. Gorman has the promise of a number of influential Democrats that if he can get himself back into the senate and Maryland back into the Democratic column, they will support him as a candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination. This, however, is only interesting as gossip, as the "if" which must be surmounted to get this promised support is a little too big for Mr. Gorman to get over.
CAPT. R. L. HOWZE, of the Sixth U. S. cavalry, who was colonel of the 34th volunteers, recently mustered out, and who is to be given a commission as brigadier general of volunteers because of MB splendid record in the Philippines, is in Washington. Besides rescuing Ly. Gilmore, and his men, his regiment rescued over 2.500 Spanish soldiers and officers held prisoners by the Filipinos. Speaking of them, Col. Howze said: "The Spanish prisoners very apparently did not try Beriously to escape from their insurgent captors. They were largely responsible for the ideas that the insurgents entertained regarding Americans. They made the Filipinos believe that we were the very incarnation of cruelty, that their women would not be safe if the American soldiers prevailed. The insurgents marched the Spanish prisoners about with them. On arriving at a town, the prisoners would be turned over to the Presidente, or mayor, and he in turn would quarter them among the residents within his jurisdiction. The householder, who was given twenty of the prisoners, for example, to care for, was held responsible for their return to the Presidente, and to the insurgent commander. The insurgents were martinets in those matters and did not hesitate to shoot down the Filipinos who allowed prisoners to escape. When we rescued those Spaniards they were a sorry looking set. Many of them had almost no clothing and some were in rags, others wore the insurgent uniform. We had great difficulty in keeping them from looting and destroying the Filipinos."
MARRIED WOMEN AS TEACHERS.
The school trustees of this county find plenty of authorities to back them in their stand to employ no married women as teachers in their schools. The leading educational journals of the country are all of them declaring along this line and a trustee calls the attention of THE JOURNAL to the following article from The American School Board Journal:
The criticisms so frequently passed upon the action of school boards in ex eluding married lady teachers from teaching in the schools, usually come from those who have but a theoretical knowledge of the subject
It is invariably held that marriage does not disqualify a woman from teaching, and that a woman, who has once been a mother, is better qualified to deal with children than is an unmarried woman.
This is all true. No school board member ever disputes these arguments. But here the critics stop. They seldom enter upon the practical—or let us say, the serious phases of the subject. Let us set aside prudery and affection. Let us be plain. When a woman enters upon a marriage it is reasonable to say that her new contract implies household cares and wifely duties. And more than that. A woman's marriage implies motherhood. Motherhood at times necessitates seclusion. At least the school room is not the place for a mar riou ried life.
We know of several instances where school boards were placed under the embarrassing obligation to suspend married women teachers because they failed to be'as considerate of the school room as its best interests would suggest. However, this point, owing to its delicacy, need not be discussed any farther.
The reasons which have actuated school boards in barring married women from appointments have usually been based upon hard common sense. Here is the woman teacher, who is supporting a lazy husband, another who simply wants to earn extra pin money, regardless of the fact that she neglects her own children by so doing. Then there is the woman who wants to help her husband—a husband who ought to help himself. Then we have the avaric ious man and wife, who sacrifice all the things tha^t go to establish Christian home life and a family. They are simply a co-partnership of two bread winners. The woman has an able-bodied husband to provide for her and yet she crowds out the young, unmarried woman, whose parents may have made great sacrifices in order to enable her to become self-sustaining.
It is claimed by the ethical quibbler on this subject, that it is not the busi ness of the school board to inquire whether the woman is married cr un married: whether, if married, her husband earns a large or small salary, or whether her own children are well provided for or neglected, whether she performs her duties as wife and mother or not? And yet when it is considered that social conditions may have a bearing upon the pursuit of a profession, that marriage is more frequently a hindrance than an advantage to the woman teacher—it becomes the school board's duty to recognize facts and not theories.
But is the married woman teacher preferable to the single woman? Are not the cares and duties incidental to wifehood and motherhood apt to distract in the performance of school room labors? Is the woman who has small children of her own at home,constantly awaiting her return, fit to teach other people's children?
School boards who have passed rules against the employment of married women teachers have been "confronted by a condition not a theory," and have not flinched in doing their duty.
The above article is a convincing and conclusive one and, as THE JOURNAL remarked at the time of the adoption of the rule by our county educational board, the policy is an excellent one. Still it might not have been a bad idea to merely adopted it as a policy and not as an iron clad rule. Emergencies will occasionally arise which would warrant a departure from what in general is an excellent rule.
