AMERICA SUBSERVIENT.
—
In the American plan of a League !
j
of Nations. Great Britain was to j
have one vote in the assembly. In,
the plan now before the senate, j
Great Britain is given s'x votes—
one for herself and one for each of 1
her self-governing colonies. Why1
the six votes for Great Britain?—•
New York Herald.
There are, of course, comments |
the Manufacturers' Record, many j
objections to the British Empire J
having six votes to our one. butj
they are not half so serious as i
permitting Liberia, with a total pop
ulation of probably two million ne
groes, to have exactly the same vote
as the United States. We would
rather that Canada, for instance, !
should have one of those British ‘
votes than that backward, almost '
barbarous, Liberia should be able at'
any time to kill our vote.
Haiti, a negro country of 2.500,-!
000 population, which is only kept <
out of constant revolutions by the ’
presence of American troops, has
the same vote that America has.
The Hedjaz fwho knows where it
is and what ifs Mohammedan popu
lation counts for?) has also the j
same vote as this great country. !
and so have a number of small and j
backward nations.
How many who are favoring the ;
League of Nations have ever taken |
the trouble to know that two negro \
countries oi small and almost bar
barous population can at any time
unile and outvote the United States1’ 1
TEACHERS' PAY.
In a statement issued to the pub
lic recently the grade teachers of
Roundup. Montana, set forth the
fact that many of their number go
to school without breakfast and
spend the noon hour cooking their
own meals, because pay received by
them is inadequate to support them
properly. Grade teachers receive
$1,000 per year and the statement
issued by them gives the necessary
amount for their support at $1,370
per year. This allows nothing for
what might be classed as luxuries,
and makes no allowance for the
fact that teachers are supposed to
spend a part of thetr vacation at
summer school in order to keep up
their efficiency. Here is the list
showing the items of necessary ex
pense as set forth by the teachers:
Broad, breakfast. 25 cents; lunch.
50 cents; dinner, 75 cents; a total
of $558 per year.
Room, 12 minths at $15. $180;
laundry. $42; doctor and dentist,
$25; toilet articles, $15; correspond
ence, $12; lyeeum course. $2; mag
azines. $5; railway fare, $75, or a
total of $924.
Clothing costs, $452. divided as
follows; Two wool dresses. $75; suit
and coat, $100; hats, $30; shoes,;
$40; gloves. $10; blouses, $25;
skirts, $40; one silk dress, $40;!
underwear. $30; hosiery, $12; sum
mer clothes, $50.
It is set forth that the janitor,
who works eight hours a day, and
from whom no educational require
ments are demanded, reecives $150
per month the year round.
Tht situation is further cumpii- ■
cated by the fact that funds of
ihe district are not sufficient to
meet the needs of increased sal
aries, the school levy having reached
the limit permitted by the statute.
It is evident from the above list
that many teachers must deny them
selves the necessaries of life in or
ier to keep themselves looking up
to the standard of dress which their
position demands. It is probable
that an attempt will be made to
remedy the situation in some way.
This year 23 new teachers were
engaged to take the places of those
who were compelled to resign on
account of their inability to live
oroperiy on the salaries paid.
