Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second Class Mall Matter.

Pensioning the City's Teachers More than ninety teachers of the Richmond schools have signed the petition asking that a pension unit be established here in order that they become beneficiaries under the teachers' disability and retirement law passed by the last legislature. The effort of the teachers to establish a pension fund here for their benefit and use, whenlong years in the school room have depleted their physical and mental .stamina, deserves the support of the city. Indiana was the twenty-fifth state of the Union to pass a teachers' pension bill. The measures become operative January 1, 1917, and it is right that Richmond teachers take steps to share its benefits as soon as possible under the law. : .

The profession of teaching is one of the most unappreciative and uhremunerative into which a young man; or a woman can enter. , The salaries that are paid for the qualifications required are

meager. The average salary of the teachers in

the United States is only about $600. Out of this amount, teachers are compelled to maintain

a standard of living far in excess of the salary

paid them. They are compelled under an increas

ingly demand for higher qualifications and bet

ter training to attend institutes, go to summer

schools, invest in books and periodicals dealing

with the latest movements in educational thought and give of their time and money to social and

civic betterment organizations. The wear and tear of the school room on a teacher's nervous system needs no elucidation. Few teachers are able to end their careers in the school room without having suffered one or more nervous breakdowns. They constantly are under the fire of the mischievous wiles and tricky designs of young America. There is no chance for relaxation during school hours, and after the -day's session is over, they are compelled to prepare for the. next day's recitations. And as a reward for the many years of such a strain the teacher usually has little or nothing in a financial way on which to bank against the rainy day and old age. If a teacher breaks down, under the present conditions, the weeks she, is absent from school are a monetary loss to her. If she contracts a contagious disease from a pupil and spends weeks at home recuperating, she loses her pay and must foot the doctor's bill. If she is permanently disabled, or becomes too old efficiently to manage a school room, there is no recourse to recoup her finances. She steps down and out ; a substitute takes her place ; and she is left to fight the struggle for existence single handed. That this condition of affairs is manifestly unjust and unfair will be seen readily and ought to be appreciated easily by the school patron and authorities. A. public servant, who has given the best of her life to the training of boys and girls into useful citizens of the state, is deserving of more than a kick out into the cold world. The system by which this deplorable condition is to be remedied is eminently fair. The teachers themselves will pay the greater part of the pension fund. The teacher pays every year for forty years from $10 to $25, according to the years of service. Again, if an old teacher wants to retire soon after the law is in effect, she cannot do so by paying only for the current year. She is compelled to pay for all the previous years. For instance, if a teacher has taught 35 years and wants to become a beneficiary of the fund, she must pay into the fund $600 for past services. Only when the funds are depleted, which even under extraordinary circumstances would take many years, the auditor makes up the deficit from the state tuition funds before it is distributed to the county treasurer. j If all the teachers of the city schools should

elect to enter the fund, there would be collected from them this year $29,700, and $1,600 to

$1,800 every year hereafter. Basing calculations upon the rate of retirements in Indianapolis, there will be four teachers retired in Richmond

after eight years. Taking an exaggerated case, merely for the sake of example: If eight teach

ers were retired in Richmond each year, the

teachers' fund alone, without touching one cent

of the tuition fund, would, pay the whole ex

pense for ten years. - From an ethical viewpoint, the teachers deserve the pension and the disability indemnities paid under the system. From a business standpoint, the plan cannot be opposed consistently, for the teachers themselves are shouldering the greatest part of the burden. Every city in Indiana with a population of 20,000 or more, excepting Richmond and Hammond, are operating under a teachers' pension fund. The reason Hammond has not adopted the law is because most of its teachers serve only a year or two and usually are students from the universities: at Chicago. . ; : -

' : Bread Baking Not Hazardous. Washington state has a workmen's compen

sation act. Last year 570 claims were rejected, according to the report of the commission just published. Several fanny situations arose under the operationVof the act. A woman was refused compensation for spraining, her thumb in lifting a bread tray;;She -was not engaged in a hazardous' occupation, was the finding of the commission in this case. Perhaps, if her husband had criticised her pr being careless and had been hit across the head with the tray, for the commentary, he might have collected on the ground that dangerous machinery had not been enclosed with wire netting

Signs of Prosperity " Y.A - A broad business expansion is noted in the tremendous bank clearings of last weekv jsixty seven per'cent more than a year ago. The clearings at the principal cities aggregated $4,500,000,000. The returns for October were $20,000,000,000 against $11,700,000,000 a year ago, Railroad earnings in the third week of October for thirty-two roads were $14,300,000, or a seventeen 'per: cent increase. - - iv:" ;r ':" Since the!first'orOrt 000 tons of rails have been placed.

Where 1 When Willam 'I. L J. Bryanwas' secretary '"'of state, we beljjeved we had a man in that job whose character was flawless and ' immaculate. Not even with a microscope, we believed, could you have found a speck on his probity and righteousness. , Bryan, we thought, was in a class all his own a paragon of goodness and sterling

qualities. But alas, we were mistaken. Bryan is a profligate sinner and a man of few parts compared with Robert Lansing, his successor, in the premiership. David E. Lee contributes a character sketch of Mr, Lansing in last week's issue of Collier's that proves conclusively bur contention. We reproduce a few glittering shafts from Mr. Lansing's halo:

"Diffident in the extreme, a thorough stu

dent, a man of culture and fine tastes, a keen sportsman and lover of games, particularly those of the out of doors, a man of gentle birth and breeding, a man of simple habits, and few hobbies, generous, sympathetic,, full of red blood, a diplomat, an expert in international law a man of character." That's the beginning of the eulogy. Here are a few more rays: .... "No man in public; life in the United States has greater honor or integrity than Secretary of State Lansing." i. " . " 'Duke' (Mr. Landing) pitches a good game (quoits) a mighty good game.; -i )::? ,v; :$.- )::''"

r i Mr. Lansingvis a Prodimoua reader, and his

story telling is as fascinating arid Artistic; W"are the little sketches and water colors that he makes. They" are as polished as'are the products of his pen." "He is above everything else a sportsman." "He had no appetite for rough-and-tumble exercises or pranks nor any jokes of the boisterous kind." "He was never assertive even with his intimates." "Never does he make a bald assertion unless armed with the actual facts." "He was fond of playing practical jokes." "His reputation in this direction (solving puz-i zles) grew until other people brought to him puzzles that he could not solve." "In town he was a whist player of no ordinary ability." "He is most simple in his habits." "The two young men (Mr. Lansing and Mr. Jones) wrote a book on civil government." "He was never in sympathy with Bryan's 16 to 1 plank and bolted his party ticket at that time." . , "In 1902 he was made his party candidate for mayor of Watertown against F. Pappa, a collector for a newspaper, and was defeated by the latter." "He was never an orator." "Charitable and generous in the extreme, he early became interested in church work." "Several young men have been helped through college by him."

"His Sunday school activities caused him to

take up the, study of the Bible."

"In this room, among all of the books, Robert

Lansing has spent many happy hours." "I was told by his intimates that he was a man of no hobbies." "He has produced many little bits in the way of water colors and sketches that are delightful and worthy of the consideration of any art lover," "Apparently he does his art work absentmindedly, but the bits that come from his pencil are clever." "He's mighty simple in his tastes." "He was ambidextrous, and when one hand became tired he would use the other with equal facility in carving, drawing or writing." (The author here quotes Gary M. Jones, an intimate of Mr. Lansing.) "He would read far into the night.' He would go to bed and smoke and read and drink cold coffee." - ; " .' ; Well, as we Hoosiers say, "Outside of that he's all right." We have cited these panegyrics not to dim the

lustre of the halo's sheen, but merely, to inform

tne puoiic tnat Bryan's cross of -gold has been eclipsed. HC'-'O '-P''y-,:-' For Mr. Lansing we have the utmost respect, and we wish him success in his arduous task.

EARLY CITY HISTORY

' . MORTON'8 APPEAL , Old residents will recall the 'appeal by Governor Morton' in" 1863 for supplies for hospitals. Logan Esarey in the Star Sunday- comments as follows: The year 1863 saw "the passing of the crisis , in the war. The ' early days of 1863 were the darkest in the history of the nation. Even the smallest county papers- reflected the -gloom which settled down everywhere. The westers army, since ,'the capture vt Fort- JDonelson. had - been ' fighting doubtful battles, and just at the close of , the year , had joined with , the rebels at Stone's River tar one of the bloodiest battles of the whole war. In the east, after a. doubtful year's fighting; the -grand army .of the Potomac had closed, the year in a disastrous repulse at Fredericksburg. . Tha New Year's papers brought to the. Hposier hoipes the lad fraite tidings of .these battles. For a week following long lists of killed and- wounded appeared In- thefpapeVs-.the hos

pitals were overwhelmed with woundedr. and many were cared for in . private homes. The mails were toll of queries by the relatives of the wounded.The following proclamation" by the governor will emphasize this feature of the news: - - .-- - Supplies, for Sick and Wounded. . ,. "To .the ..People of Indiana 1 earnestly request contributions Of potatoes, .onions, cqrn meal and dried fruits for the use of sick and wounded Indi: ana soldiers at the various hospitals. These articles are very much needed, and it. is. hoped a' full supply .will furnished at. once. They should be packed in barrels, well hooped 'and headed .up .and shipped to "William Hannaman. president of the Sanitary Commission, Indianapolis. v by-, whom they wlU be faithfully distributed. The various railroads and. express companies in this state will carry all goods contributed Tree -of - charge. " " About 3,00(9." barrels "of potatoes. 5001 barreW Of Onion's.'
