Census Bureau Analysis Shows That Immigrants Cnildren Predominate in Profession. The census Washington, Aug. bureau has Just puluhed a bulletin analysis by PrcT. Walter F. Wilcox at Cornell Univrrei:y of the census of statistics relating to teachers. Calculating the school age as from I to 24. the report finds that taking the country as a whole, there la an aver age of one teacher to every seventy-onpupils, or MO for every 10,000. The ooniputatlon shows that tbe supto ply at teachers in proportion school population has mure than doubled in the kist thirty years and that teachers exceed the total number of clergymen, lawyer and physician. ' In lttnO Nevada had the largest proportional number of teachers: Vermont ranked second; Maine third, and lows fourth. The proportion of teachers was smallest in some of the southern states. During the past deIncreased in cade the proportion e hs every state and territory, the increase reaching n maximum in the ptate of Washington. The vistas of the north and west showed a greater IncreaM than those of the south. The bulletin continues: "The proportion of teachers in continental United Biau-- Is smaller than In England and Wales, but greater than in Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Mexico or Cuba, and in the following state the proportion is greater than in England and Wales: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, MasMchu-setti- , Connecticut, District of Colums bia, Ohio, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, Oregon and California. During recent roars the proportion of teachers increased in thla country to a greater extent than in England, France, Germany and Canada. "The proportion of teacher in cities having at least 25.000 Inhabitants la greater than in small cities or country districts. Thie prevails In all divisions of the United Slate. In tha North Atlantic and North Central divisions the larger cities ere not ao well supplied with teachers as the smaller cities and country districts, n fact which suggests the inference that where an effective educational system 1 of recent growth It haa developed more rapidly in the cities, but where it has been eat bl lulled for a generation or more It has established a larger ratio of teachers to popularural distion in the trict! than in tha rapidly growing cities.

The French contract gave her an advantage In entering the ery other American market over country on seventy articles, in consideration of which she sgrred to apply her minimum tariff to our exports to France, except as to twenty Including horses, butler eggs, cheese, leather goods, machines (machine tools), dynamos, etc. That is, if we would treat France better then France w did ,any olbcr county, would treat us about as well as she did any other country.'
