The f,Ilowing article from the
Picayune is az applicable to this
section and State as to the City OF
New Orleans:
It is a fact, as well establish ed as
it is peculiar, that the compensation
paid to the people who instruct is
rdiculously small compared with the
bounty which is lavished on those
who amuse.
The negro Minstrel, the funny
man in the play, the actor III any

antiquity they have been popular
IDOLS. OF course, nobody, after
such a showing, expects persons en-
gagged in the noble and responsible
duty of educating youth to meet
with any public enthusiasm, or to
be paia in proportion to the lmpor-
lance of the duties which they pers
form, but the Iaborer Ia worthy of
his hire, and that hire ought to be
adequate and Just. These consider
atoms have been suggested by the
appeal now being made by the
tea hers of the Boys High School
for an increase in their salaries. 4
teach tr in the High School must be
a person of proper social standing,
dignifed depoi tment and unques-
TONED integrity of character aud
sense of honor, as well as of sde
quate intellectual culture and
degree of professional training IN
the instructng of the young.
All these high quail fcatlons are
not to be found conferred IN the
same person at every street corner,
nor eau they be purchased in Job
lots at bankruptcy sales. when
teachers of ability, possessing all
the required qualifications, are ST.
cured, they are prizes TO be esteem
ed and held at a just and proper
value. When any teacher falls
short Of those requirements he
s bOuld no longer be retained III the
service. There is good reason to
believe that the gentlemen who are
the exercises at thu
Boys High School are in every way
worthy, and if the educational fund
will permit, they ought to be better
paid, and az much better as circum-
stances will justify.
When people who are rendering
tull and able service in some proper,
worthy and most useful capacity,
realize that they are not beng COM
pensated according to the standari
of the wages paid everywhere else
for such services, they are apt to
feel a sense of the humiliation and
injustice with which they are treat
ed; unless, indeed, it be peruniarly
impossible to do better for them.
1t puts heart into working people
to know that when they do well
their exerlions are appreciated and
duly recognized. The teachers Of
youth who do their duty truly be ,
long to the working classes, and
they earn over and over every dol
lar they ever receive.
