SCHOOL rEACa ERs sALARIEs.

SCHOOL TEACR ERS SALARIES.
The Board of Education has taken wise
step In favor of economy by reducing in
some measure the salaries of some of the
school teachers. They halted too soon.
A correspondent in Every Evening, with
strange mixture of pathos and insolence,
writes about the wages Of teachers as If
they were sacred, and could not be touched.
It is not so much question now, of how
much services are worth as how much the
people can afford to pay. The school teach
ers as rule are educated by the city, with
out expense to themselves, hence the city
has claims upon them--thus then the case
differs widely from that of clergymea and
professional men who have had all the ex-
pense Of professional education to meet
The girls who teach tare mostly the chill
dren of fairly we'll to.do parents, and their
wants and expenses are not to be compared
with those of heads Of families.
The taxes Of the city are fast increasing,
thc ability of tue people to meet them are
hourly lessening-under such state Of
things Is It not duty resting upon the con-
science of the Board to reduce the salaries
of their employees. A tabular statement
of the expenses Of school teacher is given
