Indeed, one of the moit notable characteristics of our eity school system In the United States is the overwhelming preponderance of women teachers. So great is this pre ponderance that the cities where male teachers are employed in eleraentay ohools, iu any other capacity than as principals or as teachers oi special sub j acts, such aa German, for example, may be reckoned tbe exceptions. In the high schools, tbe proportion cf male teachers is much larger thsn in the elementary grades. In tbe mixed bigh schools, especially in the larger ctties, tbe number of male teach rs is, perhaps, nearly equal to that of the female teachers. Where tbe high schools are unmixed, those for boys are taught by male ttachers, while the schools for girls are taught mostly by female teachers under the din ction of a male princ'pa'. In the largo.-1 cities, Baltimore, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Cincinnati, New Orleans, New Yrrk, Philadelphia, San Fiaocisco and St. Louis, there are 11, 154 female teachers and only 1170 male teacher. Id the c't'es of Columbus, ().; Indianapolis, Kansas City, Little Rwk, Memphis, Milwaukee, Newark, PitUburg, Fortlard, Mo.; Finland, Ore; Piovidencs, Niw Haven, Cleve land and Denver there aie 2700 fema'o tearheisaud only 203 male teachers. Memphis is rrtditod with fifty-seven female tea- bets end eight male teiacb- wr. It will be icen frcm tbo-efig-tJ-es that the avenge proportion of rxale tcacheis to fiuia'e t cach ets h one to ton. ins aver age of other c ties w uld be about the amis, rhi'adelphta bos the lowest prui orllon cf male teacher?, but tbe male teachers employed ate actually engrgid in teaching; each one of thise except the high school teachers teiug confined t the cate and in struct ir n of tbe upper class of a boys' grammar ith ol, and having lupervi- ion over a very limited number if lower cla'ee!. Tie ni xt lowett propor tion is found in Chicago. Id that city thire ate, in fee', in tbe elemental y echcols no ocale teachers piopetlyeo railed. The men reckoned ss teach s are, in rosli'y, eupervising princ! fair, ach having a laige number of rlaistaai.d (etchers undir hisdirec tlon and saparvision. , In Cincinnati the pioport on of male teachers is about B'X times ss gnat as that ot ' Philadelphia and Chicago. This ; is the rerult cf tbe policy ; of roplryirg, to tome extect, vna'e isi!s'ants in the elementary eebco's Th!s is the case in the other targe I'itiea where the proportion la . comrsrative'y high, namely, Milwau kt, New York, t-t. Louis snd Beaton la Milwiukee there are several male principals of ptimary school?; as well aa eome tut ordinate male teachers of tl strict ichro's, and, in addition, number of special male teachers of tbe Ge'niau language, and hence tbe nigh rtio of male teachers ss compared i h other cities. In acme cases Ja- dlr aie employed aa principals oi Urge mixed schools composed of grammar and primary grades. In Cleveland the experiment was made several years ago of placing all the el- emewsry echcols in charge of lemaie principals, three or fonr general super- visinii male piimipals bein smpioyea to visit (he schools at short intervals to give aBsis'ance where needed in the difcipline and manfgement. lne women have given entire satisfaction i a jrincialff. Women bave nearly fcpplsUed men ta educators in the primary public Bfhoolr. Tuis is as it should he. Women are coming to the front in aU tl e vocations cf life for which i key have an aptitude and "teaching the ycung idea how to shoot" seems to be their peculiar mis:on. So many women wculd not be employed in tbe pub'le ichools if it bad not been saiir tattori'y demonstrated that they are tbe equal of rr.en, asd etill they are denied the same pay for the same work. This is unjust; yes it is sbaxeful, disgraceful to our leg.ela t:rs wb.5 ara robning wornon of half tijeir earnings for tbe simple rea on hit thoy ara women.
