Hm is 1 Hut to Teachers
The declaration was made at a
recent school board meeting that
very few teachers marry and
that those few are generally kin-
dergarten or cooking class teach-
ers-
Director Charles J Coffey said
that the teachers’ waiting list is
uncertain because of the habit of
the applicants of going off to be
married or entering other occu
pations, and this brought from
Mrs. Simon Kander the assertion
that few teachers marry.
‘‘The few who do marry are
usually kindergarten or cooking
class teachers,” she said —Mil-

Declaring himself “done with
economic problems," and an
nouncing that he will devote bin
time in the future exclusively to
moral issues, Mr. Bryan said in
an address in New York Cite:
“Tbirty-six rear* ago I started
with all the zeal of a young man
to ta^k upon the the Tariff. Af-
ter thirt)--ix yrar* I cannot say
that any great number ol the Re.
publicans have been converted.
When a normal question however,
is settled, it stays settled. Re-
frors seldom starts in New York,
but sooner or later they get here.
Started with nothing but seal to
to instruct the public on one of
the most difficult and complica-
ted of quastions, at that time Mr.
Brjrn was scarcely grown, and
oould have had at his command
on the Tariff problem little if
anything more than a few cateh
phrases. Hut he talked eater,
tiinly, and in a few yearn waa
sent to Congress, where, because
of his talking capacity, he waa
immediately assigned to the
Ways and Means Committee of
the House. As a member of that
committee he helped prepare and
pass the Tariff bill of 1894 which
put capital out of business and
labor on a souphouse ba*is, and
because a factor in bit party’s
national disaster under hit lead-
ership two years later.
Eighteen years later—in—1912
—Mr. Bryan was the star stump-
er and otherwise leading figure of
a campaign in which nis party
took the ground that Protection
war the cause of the high cost of
living, and pledged itself incase
of success to correct the evil by
revising the l'ariif downward
The underwood law resulted. Mr.
Brvan as Secretaay of Stateusing
his influence with congress to
help enact. But the cost of liv-
ing continued to rise; and pi ices
for 11 anv things are nearing the
prohibitive h-ight for all but the
rich. Moreover, the new law had
otherwise failed bes re the Euro,
jean war began, and only war
saved this country from a wide-
spread business depression and
oss.

M\ Brvan himself wonder—that
after tbirty-six years’* he cannot
say that am g eat number of the
Republicans have been convert-
ed?”
Economic hroblems have not
been Mr Bryan’s strong suit. At
twentyhe suited out to convert
his countrymen to the policy of a
Tariff for revenue only, with the
result he now good-nt , 7 con-
