What the West Pays for Its Schools.

Tho interest OF the people OF the
West in education is Indicated in no
better way than by the test of'the dol
lar. The financial measurement of in
terest may be applied with the great
est accuracy and significance 10 the
salaries paid for instructions, and also
to the cost of the education of each
pupil. The average salary month
paid each man teaching in the pub
lie schools OF the United States is
$i2. 43. The lowest below this average
is the salary paid in those States known
as the South Atlantic States. Begin
ming with Delaware aud ending with
Florada, which is $2S.1l. The next
lowest is represented in the States Of
the Sou.h Central Division, Kentucky.
Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
lana. Texas, and Arkansas, which is
SiJ.59. Above the average Of $i2.43 is
found the salary paid in the North
Central States. $i3.O9. and also the
salary paid in the North Atlantic
States. SiS.2o. The furthest above it
is the salary paid in the extreme West
ern States. which Is $6i.Sl. The high
est average salary paid month in
any State to a man teaching in the
public school Is to be credited to Mas
sachusetts. s10s.Ss; but the next high
est salary paid is that found in Col
orado. $95.2l. A study of the figures
of salaries paid to women who are
teachers in the public schools exhibits
q similar result. The average salary
each month paid in the United State,
is x3I.27. The States of the South
Atlantic fall below this standard with
an average of $27.07; of the South Gen.
trail Division with an average OF Sj3.-
45; of the North Atlantic Division
with an average of S32. .46; and also
of the North Central Division with an
average OF $9I.07. But the States OF
the extreme West rise obove this
standard. showing s56.62. 1t is thus
made evident that women teaching in
the schools of all the Western States,
beginning with Ohio, receive an in
come considerably larger than that
which their sisters receive who teach
in the States Of New England in New
York, and Pennsylvania. Colorado
pays its teachers more than Massa-
chusetts; Ohio gives its teachers twice
as much as Maine; and the teachers OF
Illinois receive more than twice what
the teachers of Vermont receive
