When the ballots were counted XWtw It was found that out of a total of 1,087,-- , lf . 078 the wild rose had polled 402,811 vHYfLL COLUMBINE A 'votes, almost twice aa many aa those J , received by the columbine, the near-est r ' ' contender. Bo there seems to be VIOLET no doubt as to the wild rose's In popular favor. The columbine received 201,451 votes, which in turn was more than twice at many aa those received by the runner-o- p the violet, which had 90,403. Fourth place went to the gold-enro- d with 84,112 votea. The "big four" In this contest simply ran away from the other candidates. For the phlox, which early In the campaign wat listed with the goldenrod as a Strong contender, received only 80,-9- votes. The American Beauty rose received 80,482, the daisy 10,860, the mountain laurel 13.0S2, and the dog- - local organizations. The Garden Club of America, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the General Fed eratlon of Womco't Clubs, the state and national organizations of Camp Fire Girls and Girl Scouts, the Colum-bine society, nature clubs and con-servation groups scattered over te entire nntlon took a significant part In achieving the result." In choosing the wild rose at our na tlonal symbol, new honor hat been paid to a flower which hat always been a favorite of mankind. Two thousand yean ago In Athens the rose was the winner, and the three leading con-tenders was as follows: Wild Coluaa- - Cold- - Stat Rom bin VloUt rared AUbam 10.114 S27 MIS 9.4SS Arizona ... 1.020 S24 124 154 Arkansa . 1,033 Sd SSS S7S California . . 14.597 S.G91 S193 1.B92 Colorado - . 4.767 1.474 S7t SS7 Connortkut S,f1 3.759 S3S 1,707 Dalawara 73 203 IRS 18 D.

A total of 32,509 votes are listed at "scattering'' since they were cast for various other flowers not named by the American Nature association In announcing the result of the election. The wild rose won In every state ex-cept Colorado, Florida, Minnesota and .Washington. Without any group ac-tively working for It, with no "cam-paign committee" In any state, and with a number of organizations active-ly trying to defeat it, It withstood ev-ery assaalt upon the lead gained ear-ly In the campaign. The columbine, supported vigorously by the newly or ganlied Columbine society during the last dayt of the referendum, had 261,-45- 1 backers, who threatened, during early December, to aweep. under the rose In a flood of votes. When the contest closed, however, the leader was still gaining. "How decisive wat the choice of the people," sayt Arthur Newton Pack, ed-itor of Nature Magazine, the official publication of the American Nature association, "It Indicated by the stand-ing of the seven other leading candi-dates. More than 63 per cent of the vote wat divided between the two lead-en and there la no question of these being the national favorites. The vio-let, goldenrod, American Beauty rose, phlox, daisy, dogwood and mountain , laurel, which finished In the order listed, never bad a chance of victory. All the other flowers, grouped onder "scattering," received but 8V4 per cent even before that the romantic songs and legends of the Babylonians, Per-sians and the Chinese testified to the fact that it wat cultivated In the earli-est days. It became the national em-blem of England and In the Four-teenth and Fifteenth centuries It gave its name to a long series of civil wars, the War of the Hoses, between the ad-herents of the House of York, who wore the white rose, and those of the House of Lancaster, who wore the red rose. Early In the recent campaign, op-ponents of the rose used aa an argu-ment against It that it was the Eng llsh flower. But this was refuted b the statement that that emblem Is the cultivated rose, whereat the one for which votet were being sought was the wild rose which grows In different va-rieties In every state In the Union. The campaign did not designate one particular variety of wild rose, bat left It possible for each community to feel that Its local representative of the genua wat the choice of the coun-try. For this reason the states of Geor-gia, Iowa, New Tork and North Da-kota can take pride In the fact that their state emblem hat been chosen aa the national flower.

The association liad no candidate. It likewise felt that, though a national flower should be chosen, ltt choice wat secondary to the other Interests Involved," ' Mr. Pack also points out the fact that this referendum accurately re-flects the sentiment of the nation In the matter of choosing a national flower since the million votes cast jirobably represent as large a propor-tion of nature lovers as do the totals In a Presidential election In represent-ing the grand total of eligible voters, lie regards It as significant that the proportionate vote cast for the lead-ing candidates varied little after the 300,000 ballot mark had been passed, 'except In the last days of the cam-paign.

Both states voted for the wild rose oyer their state flower. In Nebraska the goldenrod was sec-ond with the columbine third and the violet fourth. But in North Carolina the state flower was placed third, beat-ing out only the violet. Another Interesting development was the failure of the phlox, a leading contender early In the campaign, to make a good race for the honors, es-pecially when It apparently had so many points in its favor, one of Its strongest supporters was Dr. Edgar T. Wherry, a well-know- n government botanist and chemist connected with the bureau of soils and chemistry at Washington. Early in the campaign he was quoted as follows: Whll I personally favor phlox, I wouldn't b particularly disappointed If It wer defeated and soma equally attractive and appropriate flower se-lected. I am primarily interested In having-- a suitable and beautiful flower Teaas .

Curiously enough, it was the Keystone state which led all the others in the total number of votes cast In the re-cent referendum. Pennsylvania's total wat 111.256 votes. Ohio was second referendum had other beneficial he believes. Concerning these, tie says: I "The referendum bas been eminent-ly successful. A large proportion of echool 'children voted, along citizen-ship lines suggested by the associa-tion. In such a manner that there Is no question of the benefit they de-rived. A typical campaign It the one conducted by the Franklin Junior high school of Green Bay, Wis., where ell the state flowers and candidates were Illustrated on the school bulletin :board, and discussion preceded the ac-- tnnl vntlno liw n mnnth elected for th official national flower ot the United State. A number of proposals of Individual plants have been mad, but soma ot tha plant se-lected have been too restricted in rang to be regardod as typifying th coun-try as a whol. Tha on genus, however, which has apparently never been given considera-tion until now, but which has many points in Its favor. Is th phlox. This charming- - flower is typically North American, only a single member (Phlox siblrlca) occurring- - native to any oth-er continent, and this on being com-mon to Alaska and Siberia. On or mora specie of phlox rrow wild in every state in th Union except Main and perhaps on or two other New England states, and at least two spa-des have become more or less natural-ised In that region. It Is a handsome and showy flower, and many rpecles are so popular that they have been, brought into cultiva-tion, and most of them have proved easy to grow, which lessens the dan-ger of extermination ot Individual spe-cies which might result from th pub-lic Interest sur to be attracted to a national flower. Most Important, too, phlox comes In Our national color, red, white and blue, and some of the varieties ar stars. It blooms over th Fourth ot July. It ia a beautiful, ahowy flower, a hardy perennial, and this essentially flower is familiar to every in. It grow lu gardens and in modern ones. with 78,048, New York third with 63,-83-5 and Wisconsin fourth with 59,779. An analysis vote by states in rela-tion to state flowers reveals some In-teresting facts. Since the columbine Is the state flower of Colorado, It was natural to expect that Colorado should give more votes to that flower than to any other. And It did, although It gave only 707 more votes to the col-umbine than to the wild rose. Four-teen other states gave more vote to the Colorado state flower than did that 6tate itself. Washington support-ing it more vigorously than any other, with 35,006 votes. The votes by states for the rose, I "Educators, who assisted the voting tin more than a dozen states, have as-serted that the campaign has fostered jCitizenshlp, by giving the school chli-:dre- n opportunity to vote in a national event It also created knowledge of history and nature, both of which had to be studied to arrive at an intelli-gent opinion, "While the ti?iclng of adult educa-tion Is much more difficult, the asso-ciation feels confident that the inter-est expressed through the votes was not merely for the moment.

He knew boys as well as chem-- Istry; square at die; knew hit stuff and every fellow In school knew be had al heart, one friend. Suppose we'll dr:w tome dear old lady about eighty-six- , who'll make chemistry about as interesting as cube root." "How many men teachers does that leave you, Bob?" asked Dad. "I'm sorry to hear what you say. I've known Sneed these many years and he It a man." "Well, let's see, four left, counting the two conches, and seventeen wom-en. Dad, It's a downright shame. Something ought to be done about It Women are all right of course, we've got tome tooting good women teachers but, dad, a school that's a real school needs a bunch of n around, too. Our present faculty would make a dandy bunch of Inmates for an old ladles' home. From the standpoint of class-roo- stuff, I suppose they are all right but, Dad, school isn't all Just studies, ts It? Makes me sick every time I go down In the shops and flud a woman Instructor there where Old Palriy held forth so long, lie ras a teacher I loo know that was the best course I ever had, because 1 learned a heap of things that weren't shop. I was always Interested In his work ev. ery minute. The fellows used to hang around, and hang around after school, and Old Raldy would lend them a book or explain some pleoe ot machinery, or tuke a gang to a factory. Every fellow got his work and cried for more, and he up nud quit and became manager of a big wood-turnin- fac-tory. Dud, why, that's what I want to knowT Why do most of the gooj men teachers quit and go Into busi-ness? "Well, my boy, there Is Just one main reason, and It is a perfectly le-gitimate one, but a very unfortunute one for the millions and millions of boys In our public schools. In Amer-ica the scale .of living of the average man has been rapidly rising tor the last quarter of a century. The aver-age man of today lives like a king no doubt he should I'm not arguing that point now, bat the fact Is, the finan-cial demands upon a school man to live upon the scale he desires and feels that be must live upon, drive him to seek a larger income than teaching pays. There are thousands of oppor-tunities open to a man In modern business who has the thorough-goin-mental training and experience de-manded 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 of. fer except for a very few men who grow Into supervisory positions or Into the administrative epd of edu-cation. "In the business world the'old and more experienced a man gets in a line the greater is bis security, and, Hob, at you get older you'll discover that one of the great concerns of matur-ing men Is to feet themselves finan-cially secure, while In school work, men constantly talk about the dead line, that point In their teaching when a younger man at lest salary will fill the bill. - "But, Bob, your question of 'what can we do about it' Is also quite perti-nent, 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 teachers, with nil respects to the la-dies. Boys need the man point of view and the man contact and the man stimulation, and about their only chance to get It outside of the various boy organizations Is at school. But to get and keep more high-grad- e men teachers In our schools means more salary, for many individuals means more taxes, and there you are. When all the dads of all the boys believe as we do and are willing to foot the bill, we'll have more men teachers. Teuch-In- g Is a wonderful profession with very large altruistic values In It, and there are many high-grad- e men who would respond but they can't afford to do It They Hove 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 iue Bus-iness world to better himself. "Son, the average wage of teachers the country over last year was consid-erably less than one thousand dol-lars. The absolutely minimum living wage for a family man In that class of the modern teacher is eighteen hun-dred, so there you are. The only oth-er way. Bob, Is for the dads to get on the job anew and ninke up for the loss of man power In the schools by giving their sons more of their owq fime. Bob, we Just about get what we pay for In school teachers or auto-mobiles." (, 1SJ9. Western Newepaper Union.) Analyzing! i ...YOU... ' With Ike New Science ef Syllabic By C.
