TEACHER,N SALdRIEN.

The application of the School commissioners
for transfer of unexpended balances to the
appropriation for the current year, so that the
salaries of teachers in the public schools may
remain at the present modest figure, will meet
with general sympathy. Whether the transfer
can be legally made is a somewhat doubtful
question upon which professional opinion is
awaited. But that the pay of the teachers
ought not to be cut down, we think all reason
able taxpayers will admit The estimates Of
the Board of Education were reduced by the
Board of AppOrtiOnment this year by the
amount of 1885, 1852, and $50, 900 of this sum
was taken from the item of teachers salaries.
Now the average salary of the $500 teachers
employed in the public schools is only $S43,
and the highest salary which the most accom-
pIished and thoroughly qualified principal can
reach after years of labor is only $4,000. At
present there are AZ male principals who re-
ceive the maximum amount; as vacancies
occur the number is to be reduced to IL that
is to say, teacher has about one chance in
300 of ever earning $1,000 a year. and to get
that he must serve on ali average about twenty
years.
The standard argument of'ihe advocates of
q 1llrtncr TtuuctlOn Is tndt tHe lnarhtt price VI
teachers has fallen. But teachers are not to
be rated like potatoes, neither are theireer-
vices to be valued by the same rule as those
of labOrers and unskillcd mechanics. I'm
doubtcdly there are thousands of hungry
men in this city who would be glad to keep
school for lis mt almost any price, and would
not prove entirely incompetent for the duty
either. But if we value the efficiency of the
public schools we must pay salary that will
attract more than common talent to their
service, and induce the best men to devote
their lives to them. The same qualities which
make a successful teacher would win success
in other and more lucrative pursuits. Cutting
down the pay will surely result in driving out
the class of men whom we ought especially to
wish to keep. and converting the schools into
temporary refugees for the unemployed. 1t is
poor economy which hires only the cheapest
hands for work that requires trained ability
and long experience.

THE IASOLFENT LIFE COMBINES

Long MS is The report of the receiver Of the
Continental Life Insurance Company, it bears
the marks of haste, and does not furnish the
data for an estimate on the final result.
Enough, however, is shown 10 make it clear
that the cOmIany's affairs have been cxtrava-
gantly mismanaged, and that much of its
assets must provo worthless. \ few of the
large leaks may be regarded with sus-
plcon, ard will doubtless repay further
research into their causes. As yet no
basis appears for charge of dishonesty
agans. the officers of the brOken concern, aid
it is quite certain that some % them were men
who worked hard and meant 10 do their duty; ;
men whose errors were OF Judgment only. The
most staiting feature of the report is the opin-
ion that the company has not been solvent for
siy years past. This will give aervccablc
text to people, who doubt the efficacy Of our
State suDerintcndcnCc. There is certainly
abundant reason for the belief that the nursing
system in the case of weak companies was
prolonged at Albany long after there was any
reason for hoping that the patients could sur
vivc. The dissatisfied policy -holdcrs of the
Continental have won III the suit before the
Court of Appeals, which tested the appoint
Judgment of the Supreme Court, adverse to
Receiver Anderson.
The statements now furnished concerning
the condition of the New-Jersey Mutual In
snrance Company give, rs far as they 90, y
very disrouraging history. There, too, biisi-
pcs, had been cXtmyagantly conducted and
though the experiments seeking relief were
fewer, they were not whit more successful.
The report Of Actuary Fac.iler concerning the
condition OF tho company asserts Chat there
was absolute faI3chood in the statement Of its
affairs furnished 10 the State in 1915. The
books were kept at once intricatcly and care
lcs,ly. The management was loose. Several
of the policies are not 10 be regarded AZ life
insurance at ALL but simply as agreements for
contributing to "pcol" to be divided some
years hence. The present deficiency Of assets
is estimated at 1921, 800. In the suit at
Trenton for IN Injunction to restrain the officers
from transferring its assets to the National
Capitol Company, it is alleged by the Attor-
ncy -General that the attempt q. transfer took

simplest and most comprehensive topicai
classification is artificial. The fact that every
reader knows the alphabet renders that the
natural basis of an index. The advantages OF
both systems are secured in the new volume,
for the alphabetical arrangement Is supple
mented by table Of principal titles, 80 that
unnecessary turning of pages is prevented.
With q convenient key like this Index, the
contents of a daily newspaper have perma-
nent value. For those who have files OF The
TRIBUNE the Index is simply indispensable,
for it enables them to turn in a moment TO
any article or public event to which they may
wish. to refer. Those who do not have Tile
of The TRIBUNE at hand will find it OF great
service whenever they have occasion to collect
information at public libraries or reading
rooms. Moreover, it practically serves as an
index to any large daily newspaper, since the
general news on any special topic may DC
usually found in any OTHER paper within
few days of the date given in this Index.
For every day use it is more convenient and
valuable book of reference than the summaries
of The London Times or the annual cyclopedas
and manuals These are records of public
events and cotempOraneous politics; but a
great newspaper like THE TRIBUNE covers
broader field than this. In its literary columns
are reviews of every important book published
at home or abroad during the year. In the
other departments Of criticism its columns bear
record of the years failures and successes on
the American and foreign stage, of music at
Bayreuth and Ncw-YOIk, and Of fine art at
Paris, London, the Centennial Exhibition, and
our own Academy. Not only the political
speeches and Congressional debates, but
the most interesting lectures and the
strongest sermons of the year have their place
in the files. Religious movements, educational
and scientific progress, the development of
trade and industry, the varying fortunes of
railway and insurance companies, the decline
and rise of silver-all the phases of the worlds
work. thought, and pleasure are traced from
day to day in the columns of leading news
paper. Lawyers will find there their cases
and precedents, politicians their speeches,
everybody the facts of which he is in search.
All that is needed is key to open the doors
of this stOrehOuse of varied information.
The Index for 1876 will be sold over our
counter or forwarded postpaid to any address
for 80 cents.
