“GoA Bless On- Dad”
We happened in a home the
other night and read: What is
Home Without a Mother?”
Across the room was another brief:
“God Bless Our Home.”
Now what's the matter with “God
Bless Our Dad.” He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, and
wipes off the dew of the lawn with
his boots while many a mother is
sleeping. He makes a weekly
handout for the butcher, the gro-
cer, the milkman and the baker,
and his little pile is badly worn be-
fore he has been home an hour.
If there is a noise in the night,
dad is kicked in the back, and
made to go down stairs and not
only locate the burglar, but kill
him. Mother darns the socks, but
dad bought the socks in the first
pHce, and the needle and darn
afterwards. Mother does up the
fruit, dad bought it ail—and jars
and sugar cost like the old mis-
chief.
Woman Gets SI0,000 A Year.
Ella Flagg Young, the new super-
intendent of schools in Chicago,
has a salary of $1 0,000 a year, says
the New York World. She gets
as much money as Superintendent
Maxwell of New York public
schools, aud will have even more
authority. These two receive the
highest salaries paid to public teach-
ers in this country. No woman
ever before received such a salary
for teaching. Mrs. Young is 64
years old. She has been a teacher
for forty-seven years. She has taught
in every grade of the Chicage pub-
lic schools from the A, B, C to
the normal school.
Mrs. Young was born in Buffalo
and went to Chicago as a child.
She was married forty years ago.
Her husband died within two years.
Mrs. Young; when she was ap-
pointed superintendent, was the
head of Chicago normal school.
