He knew hoys as well as chemistry; square as a die; knew his stuff and every fellow In school knew he hnd at heart, one friend. Suppose well dr: w some dear old lady about eighty-six- , wholl mak chemistry about as interesting as cube root. How many men teachers does that I'm leave you. Boh?" asked Dad. sorry to hear what you say. Ive known Sneed these many years and he Is a man." Well, Iet'8 see, four left, counting the two coaches, and seventeen women. Dad, Its a downright shame. Something ought to be done about it. Women are all right of course, weve got some tooting good women teachers but, dad, a school that's a real school needs a bunch of around, too. Our present faculty would make a dandy bunch of Inmates for an old Indies home. From the standpoint of class-roostuff, I suppose they are all right but, Dad, school Isnt all Just studies, Is It? Makes me sick every time I go down In' the shops and find a woman Instructor there where Ohl Baldy held forth so long. He was a teacher I You know that was the best course I ever hud, because I learned a heap of things that werent shop. 1 was always interested In his work every minute. The fellows used to hnng around, and hang around after school, and Old Baldy would lend them a book or explain some piece of machinery, or take a gang to a factory. Every fellow got his work and cried for more, and he up and quit and became facmanager of a big tory. Dad, why, thuts what I want to know? Why do most of the good men teachers quit and go Into business? Well, my boy, there is Just one main reason, and It Is a perfectly legitimate one, but a very unfortunate one for the millions and millions of boys In our public schools. In America the scale of living of the average man has been rapidly rising for the last quarter of a century. The average man of today lives like a king no doubt he should Im not arguing that point now, hut the fact Is, the financial demands upon a school man to live upon the scnle he desires and feels that he must live upon, drive him to seek a larger income than teaching pays. There are thousands of opportunities open to a man In modern business who has the thorough-goinmental training and experience demanded of a successful man like Sneed and Baldy. Why should they continue to teach school when they can double their Income at something else and at the same time develop a future which school work does not offer except for a very few men who grow Into supervisory positions or Into the administrative end of education. , In the business world the old and more experienced a man gets In a line the greater Is his security, and. Bob, as you get older youll discover that one of the great concerns of matur lug men Is to feel themselves financially secure, while In school work, men constantly talk about the dead line, that point In their teaching when a younger man at less salary will fill the bill. But, Bob, your question of what can we do about It is also quite pertinent, for there Is another side to the whole matter, and that Is the parents' side. Every parent who stops to think knows that growing boys need men teuchers, with all respects to the ladles. Boys need the man point of view and the man contact and the man stimulation, and about their only chnnce to get it outside of the various boy organizations Is at school. But to men get and keep more teachers in our schools menus more salary, for many Individuals means more taxes, and there you are. When all the dads of all the boys believe rs we do and are willing to foot the bill, well have more men teachers. Teaching Is a wonderful profession with very large altruistic values In It, and there are many high grade men who would respond but they can't nlford to do It. They have got to earn a living for themselves and a family, keep a car, and as the old saying goes, keep up with Joneses,' so first one, then another slips out Into the business world to better himself. "Son, the average wage of teachers the country over last year wus considerably less than one thousand dollars. The absolutely minimum living wage for a family man In that class of the modern teacher Is eighteen hundred, so there you are. The only other way. Bob, Is for the dads to get on the Job anew and make up for the loss of man power In the schools by giving their sons more of their own time. Bob, we Just about get what we pay foi In school teachers or automobiles." Santa ; His Novel Christmas Gift MARY, Isnt there any-thing you've beard Mrs. Har-cousay she wants?" asked Morton Vane.

Christmas me brought a heavy snow, am) tiie i t t morning, when Mrs. Il.ircourt looked out of her window, she was pundt-by seeing a w liite-hic.ered man clearing the snow from the walk loading to her front steps. When the perch, too, was finally cleared, there came a' ring at the doorbell, and, full of curiosity, Mrs. Harcnurt answered It herself. There stood the aged shoveler, bowing gravely, as he handed hot a card. Then, touching his ermine-trimmecap, he departed, with a rather brisk walk for an old man. The card read: Santa Claus will shovel your walks every snowy morning until next Christmas. "Per M. V." Myrtle Koon Cherry man.
