THU PARADOX OP POORLY PAID TEACHMA.
Perhaps Ihe moat unjust and contradictory thing lu our Avandng
civilisation la th# steady position which our teachers hold at the foot
ff the Hat of those who ere paid for valuable services tn our country.
We have recently registered a alight advance In th* city of Atlanta
which is commendable and promising of better things In the years to
come.
Not even here In this capital city of Georgia are the teachers paid
aa they should he paid, but the fact that there h been aome recognition
of the ueceatlly of a larger reward for valuable service Is a step In Ihe
right direction and gives the .hope of continued progress.
In Ihe slate and throughout the country It Is almost a stigma
iiik>u our civilization that those who do the best and most Important uf
all our public services should receive the smallest modicum of pay. In
commenting several days ago upon Ihe ndvanre In the salary of the At-
lanta teachers, we called ateiitton to the fart that there were men win*
drove Ihe night soli carts along the atreets after dark—the moat menial
of employments—who received lietler rates than the patient nnd faithful
learhers who tolled over the mind and character of tho child who Is to
make the foundation and Ihe hope of the future.
We showed from actual figures of our rity that the drivers
of the night carta In many cases received 11.40 a day, while some of the
teachers In the public schools received less than $1.16, and some of the su
pernumeraries even less than that.
II la small consolation to know that Gedrgla,Is In the same evil rut of.
habit that has been made In other elate*. A recent magazine calls at-
teutlou to the fact that brick-layers In Saw Francisco get $8.00 a day while
Harriett Jones leaches school In Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, for $8.00
n week and It given only nine montjn In the year. Masons In Calgara.
Can., get $6.40 a day or $140 a month, while John Jones teaches achont lu
Georgia for $3."> a month. 1
Teacher* here and elsewhere are paid less than hod carriers. Some
of our college profesaora are scarcely better off, and the state and the
civilization which bank* Ita'future upon the school* And blazons the glory
of its education la public prints, absolutely pay* to the responsible agents
of thla Immortal progress, scarcely enough to support the Individual,
much less a small family.
Our civilisation will never be lighted until the pay of those aim
leach and train our children shall lie brought nearer to a parity with
those who perform our moat menial occupations, or who riot In our less
useful vocations. We no longer allude to the mountain peak which sep
arates the baseballlst and the pugilist from tho teacher and the college
professor. The comparison baa soared out of our sight and can no long
er lie used. Hut we do think that the lime la come when a great stale
in the moat prosperous era of Ita existence should take up seriously and
honestly the queallon of teachers' salaries and to remold them nearer
to the point of Juitlce and good policy.
I .east of all ahnuld the leacheraof Georgia ever he made to wait one
day for the payment.of these slender stipends earned by such hard and
noble labor In such a noble cause. The little that they have they should
have promptly, and ihe state ought to pay them what It doea with an ab
ject apology for the Insignificance of the sum and a faithful promise to
make It more.
(What inducements are we offering for Ihe heat class of training for
our children when the premiums of.the world are put upon the foot racer,
the baieballlat and the cart driver, rather Ilian the Intellectual guardian
who holds the future In bis faithful and patient hand?

THE CIVIC LEAGUE AND THE GOSPEL UNION.
No agent workiug for our local civilization and development, can fall
i» sand Ita frequent word of encouragement and ho|ie toward the Civic
league of Georgia and the lliislneas Men's Ooaiiel I'nlon, In Ihe good
work whichthey have undertaken for the ealahllahmant of peace, order
and lofty aentlment In UealliiK with the great problems of our time.
The Georgian has before time had.occasion to mention In terms of
cordial and admiring approval the Intelligent end tlreleas work wrought
by Charles T. Hopkins, of the Civic la>agne. and ex-Governor W. J. Mir-
then, of the Httslneee Men’s Gnapol Union, and their eomradea In com
mil lee. N'o mau cau fall to sqe and to feel Ihe sincerity and lofty motive
which pulses these great movements of our friends.
Whether they shall succeed In full nr not. Is a quaatloa which
for the time at least we may subordinate to the larger proiioailloii
that '.hey ought to succeed. When men 111 serious emergencies or In
great crises of civilization lay their heads and their hearts together and
plan out In serious and uuacinah sincerity the beat and highest line* of
conduct which their consciences and Intelligence make clear, they are en
titled to the respectful co-operation of their fellow cltliens and must by-
all the law and the gospel receive the benediction and t(ze blessing of Al
mighty God. _
There can lie no doubt but that the carrying of thla propaganda has
given hope and cheer to thousands of people In these Southern States,
that It haa established In the minds of our neighbors to the north of us
a confidence and respect which are not to lie desptacd. and that It has
undoubtedly prevailed tn render more stable and secure the foundations
uf our civilization.
For the fundamental principle upon which these two forces are
Jointly working from separate directions Is primarily right and essen
tially I nte. The problem with which they are dealing Is a complex
andTfemendoua~bn<\ It has certain elements which seem to defy analy
sis. and which have heretofore thoroughly defied solution. There are
things In which Inherent and apparent contradictious offer no precedent
for complete encouragement oven here.
But one thing at leaat Is clear, that In Ihe effnri to solve ihe problems
which surround us. these organizations and the strong men at the head
of them, are working from the highest pozslble motives and applying the
soundest practical principles to one of the most hopeful experiments, and
the heart of the South and of the republic cordially wishes them success.
Whatever the ultimate result, the effort at least must stamp ex-Gov-
eruor Nortlten and Mr. Ilopktna and their comrades sntnng the strong
conservative forces of our modern Ailanta.

The lie columns of The Star conld not be leas than aiKtrkllng and

Sett York. J«n. to.—The ■ following
unique announcement has caused con-
■dderablo amuument among reader* of
a cerium paper here;
“A company lo market eels to be

N. J., It le reported. The promoter*
ewear they have the 'electric lamp

J. R. Roosevelt, coueln of the preel
dent, of this city, who was sued by one
Bailer for the alienation of bla wife's
affections, has discovered that Bailer
la an ex-burglar.- Bailer’s picture Is
in the Rogues’ Gallery In this city.
He l* classed as a -second story
man. Tn the police he la known a*
John Bailer, and he le ranked as a moat
daring thief. Hie last burglary on
reran! was something over elx years
ago, when he broke Into a raaldence in
Harlem.
He wee caught while getting out and
served a term of five year* at Sing
sing. He was freed last summer.
The Methodist ministers of Cincin
nati who attended the weekly meeting
of the pastors of that denomination
were surprised by the declarations of
the Rev. R. Jamieson, the presiding
elder of the district.
In denouncing "parlor gambling" he
declared:
•I~love a fine horse, and I would
rather bet $2S on a horse that ran run
a mile in one and one-quarter minutes
than play In a game of euchre for a
prize <>f a blue bowt costing $6, where
