One thing certain, if a religious

ABOUT RANK. The matter of
rank often puzzles the best of us.
What a problem it must be with the
hired people! In a morning paper I
note that a lady teacher objects to
the rank of "jobholder," saying:
"I had supposed that a teacher's
work was rather a profession than a
job."
The lady should not have used the
word "work." It is unaristocratic as
"job." As this nation began with ab
surd notions of Equality, it is not
strange that Rank is still in confu
sion. It is not yet settled whether an
alderman ranks above a stock broker,
or a chauffeur above the ash-man.
These matters should be fixed by
work-people themselves, but if they
cannot do so I and many bthers of
the upper ranks would be willing to
assist.
I should say that rank ought to be
based on wages received, since the
rule, less work, more pay, now gov
erns so powerfully that we who do
nothing get the highest possible pay.
