RATLIFF WRONG.

the teacher and the child himself, by Stanley HalL

To the person who would seek the

crux of the situation, itls doubtful, if the question of pay does not play a larger rolo than any other in the teach-

ng problem. Teachers are indeed

poorly paid, and tho situation is the same from college professor down.

The clergy itself Is suffering the

same depletion of its ranks that Is noticed in the sphere of pedagogy. Young men want to go Into business if they

have much ambition: about them, and so most of the competent men are not

to be found, and will not be found In

the ranks of the teachers. This being

of doing away with the office of state true, It logically follows that women

rfsw Intmprfor. According to Ratliff. must take their places.

the public will be In favor of such a move because it is believed the Increased price of milk and dairy products Is due to too much dairy Inspection. Rat

liff further states, that dairymen are

already putting into effect the reforms

advocated for dairies and that the start

made will be sufficient to keep the matter going for all time to come

without a state dairy inspector.

The Palladium believes that if Mr.

Ratliff follows out his Intention in re-

The wonder

is not that there are so few men In the schools, but that there are as many good ones as there are.

It will only be when people come to

realize that the function of the teacher is the most necessary one in our national development, that there will

be adequate pay and efficient teachers

for the young of the human animal

Until a sufficient amountof money

i3 paid to secure efficient men, the

public must beware how they displace

gard' to this matter and if sufficient competent women with less competent

other members of tho legislature in

cline his way to secure the abolish

ment of the office of state dairy In

spector, a grievous wrong will be com

mitted against the citizens of Indiana.

In one sense, laws regulating dairies and dairy products can not be too

strict for the good of the public health.

As far as milk is concerned, it is the

men teachers. A poor teacher la a poor teacher the world over and a pair of trousers a3 a qualification for

teaching and drawing higher pay is ab surd. '

Dr. Hall is quite right in saying that

there is danger of feminization in the

schools, but he must also realize that

the most competent teachers at this

greatest food for deadly germs known, time are women, and will remain so

Typhoid, scarlet fever, tuberculosis

and other germs revel In milk when they can get at it. And it Is for this reason that dairies must be kept scrupulously clean and sanitary, and that there must be laws requiring such

cleanliness and officers to see to it

that these laws are observed.

The enforcement of these laws may

compel dairymen to spend a considerable amount of money for improve

ments about their places, thus adding

to their cost of production and necessi-

until there is enough money to get rood men teachers. The most incom

petent teachers of today are men who

have been put into our schools to sat

isfy the fad for men teachers.

A CONSPICUOUS EXAMPLE.

In this day and generation when

muck-rakers abound in plentitude and the papers and magazines are full,

not only of stories of the abuses, but

the follies of people who have a store

of this world's goods, it is refreshing

tatlng a consequent increase in the I to find that all is not bad in those

price of their product to the con

sumer. But for tbu sake or more healthful conditions in the communi

ty and also the enormous sum saved

in the aggregate through less doctors'

hills and funeral expenses, etc., it is well worth the consumers' while to pay

the increased price In- order to be more

cure of getting the purer product.

It is true, as Mr. Ratliff states, that each, county has its own dairy inspector, acting under the authority and orders of the county health authorities,

who, In turn, are responsible to the State Board of Health. But that is no argument why the office of state dairy

Inspector should be abolished. On the contrary, it is all the reason la the world why that office should be re

tained. If the county health officers become derelict in the performance o their duty regarding the dairies, then

the State Board of Health, through its

state dairy inspector, is able to step in

and right matters.

We would suggest, therefore, that Mr. Ratliff be more careful hereafter

and not seek to tamper with measures

or offices of the utmost help in guard

lng the public's health. In fact, we

would advise him to conserve all his energies against that day when the

into the shadow the man who made

all this possible.

seize the consignment, but merely ordered it held for appraisement. News

of this action did not ttecome public property until today. While the government agents desire to have an explanation of the apparent discrepancy between the listed and the appraised valuation of the property, no charge of any kind has been made against any one.

TESTIMONY NOT LIKED.

B. HUNT HAS SCHEME.

"If council will refuse to ratify the

Dayton & Western franchise agreement when it is brought before council Monday night, then you councllmen

win nave a chance to square yourselves with the citizens for permitting

a traction line to bo run through Glen Miller park," is the statement C. B. Hunt is reported to have made to one of the council members.

"We don't have to square ourselves,"

was the heated reply. "Council sanc

tioned the placing of the line through the park because a lot of citizens who were .opposed to having freight cars run along North Twentieth, North

Twenty-first or North Twenty-second

streets petitioned us to have the line run through the Glen, and, Mr. Hunt,

your name is on that petition."

It is stated that Mr. Hunt then con

cluded his interview with the Irate councilman with tho statement that "the petition was a very unfortunate move and much to be regretted."

Washington, Dec. 5. The House

Committee on Ways and Means has decided to continue the tariff bearings until December 11.

Chairman Payne .was authorized to

offer a resolution in the house when

congress convenes on Monday, which will give the committee authority to subpoena witnesses for the supplementary hearings. It has been the desire of the committee to get certain people to come before It and give Informa

tion they may have which would be of value in forming a new tariff law. It has also been found that the testimo

ny obtained at the hearings during

the past few weeks, has not been alto

gether satisfactory.

STATECONVENTION

May Seek Amendment to the

Present Election Law.

A number of the township trustees

of this county are planning to attend

the state convention, which will be

held at Indianapolis December 17 and

18. It was arranged last year to hold this convention In December, so that

the newly elected trustees might at

tend and have the benefit of the ex

perience of those, who leave office.

It is expected, also, that the conven

tion will take some action toward providing an amendment to the present law governing the election of township trustees. At present they are ineligible to succeed themselves. The law states they can not hold office but once in eight years. It Is proposed to change the law making reelection possible.

THE STATE CUT OFF HIS ARM. Joe Bulanda, aged fourteen, Is a little citizen of Chicago. Joe's right arm was injured. Because of the 'Virus in his blood gangrene set in. The doctors said the arm must be cut off or Joe would die. Joe's father said he would not consent to the operation. He isn't much of a father as you and I esteem fathers, but he knew Joe would "have a bard time to make his way even with two arms. He said It would be better for Joe to die than to lose one arm. And Joe also objected said he would rather die. Poor kid! The world he knew was the kind that always pushes

The property owners in the south section of West Richmond, are up In arms over the assessment just made by

the board of public works for the southwest sewer system, just completed, and Monday night they will storm council and give vent to their disapproval. It appears that these property owners do not object to the amount they have been assessed for the construction of the sanitary sewer swstem but they loudly protest against being assessed to pay a part of the cost of

constructing the stor msewers and the filtering beds. They state that the city has always paid the entire cost of constructing storm sewers and that it is unfair to make them help shoulder the expence of the filtering beds. They point out that property owners in other sections of the city are not called upon to meet the expense of this improvement, but when filtering beds for the other sewer systems are constructed, which they will eventually have to be, they have no assurance that they will not be asked to assist in defraying the expense incurred by the construction of these filtering beds. The total cost of the southwest sewer system, including the sanitary and storm sewers and the filtering beds.

amounts to $55,077.65. The city will pay $13,769.41 of this amount. The i remainder of the expense is shouldered I onto the affected property owners by
