practical for teachers to organize for mu-
tual benefits and protection against the
evils that fall upon them in old age. So
far IS am concerned I would not 90 into
any such organization. The plan in its
general outlines may be good, but there
are several Objectionable features. Among
these / may mention the fact that the pay
ments which some teachers would have to
make before receiving any returns would
Be entirely out Of proportion 70 the bene-
fits.
For instance, I have taught school In
this State only nine years. If I desire TO
become q beneficiary under the proposed
law must pay per cent OF my salary for
at least eleven years. Well, at the present
rate OF payment for my services this would
amount to $30a year, or 1880 before would
be entitled 70 any benefits at all. In ordi-
nary business insurance such an amount
would insure me much better returns
within the same length Of time.
There is no use in denying the fact that

One Of the leading educators OF the city

think that If law providing a pension for
teachers is gotten up so that it will stand
any length Of time it must be created so
that it will not be too burdensome on the
people. / am not certain even about the
principle of pensioning teachers.
w hen teachers are employed at low
salaries paid for but eight or nine months
in the year, there may be some reason for
it, but when they are paid liberal salaries,
have an income the year round and are
sure OF their tenure of Office the arguments
for pension are not so strong.
Il think that the effect Of such law
would be 70 reduce salaries. II such a law
were passed and salaries reduced. and the
law was afterwards repealed, the salaries
would be apt to stay reduced. / am not
actively for or against the measure, but I
am afraid that II the teachers are not care

Mrs. Clara FoItz. attorney, Mills build
ing: Il am decidedly IN favor OF 3 bill TO
provide for the retirement and pensioning
OF sehoolteachers. But there are some
features N this particular bill that are OBJ
ieetienable- I do not believe in drawing
upon any one or more individual classes OF
taxpayers 70 provide fund for the benefit
OF any class Of employees. A fund for this
purpose should come from the general
fund
-sehoolteachers are employees OF the
whole people, and the people as whole
should take care OF them after they shall
have been retired Just as they contribute
70 their support while N active service.
I am very much opposed 10 the crea-
ton OF 2 commis sion TO handle such
fund That would be pure nonsense. Let
the Beard OF Education attend TO Its bust
ness without the interference Of any Spe-
cl2l body OF officials. The retirement fund
for schoolteachers should go TO them in q
gracious manner, and they should receive
that compensation Just as they receive
their salary compensation.

80 NEED OF PENSIONS.
Mrs. Vida7er Believes IN Good Pay and an
Obligatory Fund

ON1AS HsOE ulAF
Mrs. \. J. Fidayer, 323 Geary street,
member of the Portia Law Club, said: 81 am
positively opposed TO the idea of pensions,
but decidedly in favor Of teachers being
compensated upon retirement for their
long service, as well as for their active
teaching days. They do not get enough
salary. They should be better paid and be
required to care for themselves. ike the
pOlice-fund idea-if / understand that
plan. The pension scheme is too much
like charity donation.
Il cannot conceive how any teacher
should want TO be pensioned. But State
that provides for the salaries Of school
teachers should also provide means by
which they cannot neglect themselves,
and there should be a point in years be-
yond which teacher should not be
obliged TO labor for the State. There should
be a limit Of compensation also, below
which they should not be required 10 work.
The time requisite TO become good teacher
does not leave much opportunity 10 learn
other methods OF earning a livelihood.
Other public officials or employees get
greater wages and have much less to learn
in order to fit themselves for their duties.
Low salaries make poor teachers.
81 am opposed to commission 70 handle
such q fund, even If the fund should come
from the State. The persons in charge of the
public school affairs are as capable of ear
ing for that as attending to their present
duties /"

Che Does BOT Favor the Provisions Of the
Bill.
Mrs. Nettie A. Wood, principal Of the
Hearst Grammar School, is not in favor Of
wholesale pensioning Of teachers by the
State. She says: 81 favor the idea of
giving pensions to some of the teachers,
and for that reason / have been member
of the pension club for some time, but
have never attended any OF the meetings.
/ do not think the pensions should be
given entirely by the State. The teachers
should have a fund Of their own, more on
the plan Of the police and firemen's fund.
/ do not see why the State should be called
upon to add anything to the fund by
giving proportion Of any taxes.
Just what plan would be the best I do
not know, but there are number Of
teachers who are worthy Of a pension, but
it should come from the teachers In the
way Of donations and amounts, collected
by holding entertainments for the benefit
of the fund
81 agree with Miss Parker that Just as
sure as a pension is given 10 the teachers BY
State aid, salaries will 60 down and never
come up. Besides that very few of the
younger teachers would be in harness long
enough to entitle them 10 pension. They
would, OF course, have to pay certain
portion of their salaries into the fund, and
] do not think they would all agree to il.
The idea of disquaiifying any one from
teaching because they would not give up
any Of their salary is not right
AS to compulsory law of retirement l
am not in favor Of such thing. When
any OF the teachers in the department get
so Old that their usefulness is past they
will have sense enough TO resign"

SAYS SALARIES ARE TOO SMALL.
Why Kigs Callahan Thinks Teachers Should
Be Cared For,

% NdIcA 4 DIs
Miss Callahan, principal Of the Clement
Grammar School, said: 81 am in favor of a
pension, for teachers are paid such moder-
ate salaries that they are not able to save
enough TO keep themselves in their old age.
OF course, our profession is different from
any other. a teachers usefulness begins
TO decrease earlier than in other walks
She sooner ceases to be as able to care for
children as younger teachers, and I be-
lieye that they should be cared for.
"a very few receive high enough salaries
TO save up enough for their old age, but
the average salary is only about SEQ a
month and it takes all of that to live.
Then again, there are not so many to be
taken care Of and it would not be a great
burden in that way. Some of these we
have lately been called upon to assist in
supporting by subscriptions among our
selves, but that is an unsatisfactory way
and that has had much to do with bring
ing up this bill. 1t is asking too much
that the teachers, out of their small sala-
ries, should pay for the support in their
old age of those who have worn themselves
out in service to the State -

DESERVE MORE SALARY.
A. 6. Booth Is in Favor Of Providing for the
Teachers,

A. 6. Booth, attorney. OF Gunnison,
Booth q BaTtnett: although I have not
given sufficient attention to the bill to
justify me in an expression of opinioni as
to It's merits or dement's in detail, still l
am opposed very strongly to the creation
OF commission to handle such fund in
the event OF the passage OF this or any
other Dill IN that interest.
That is matter that should be taken
care OF by that body of officials or person
in charge OF other school matters. The
public school board does not need another
board to attend to its business.
As a general proposition I believe that
schoolteachers, when they shall have given
the best portion of their lives should be
provided for. Schoolteachers are not as
well paid as cooks. They deserve more.
They are public employees and should be
better provided for in some way
II am inclined to think that the better
way would be to pay them sufficient sala-
RES, and out OF this INCREASE they should
be obliged to contribute to fund for their
own support in old age or upon retirement
after specified term of service The State
should make provision, but it seems to
me to be hardly the thing to take this fund
out OF any special class of taxpayers.''

Important TO the Ladies'.

One of the most important events connected
with the Pure Food Exhibition at the Meehan-
les Pavilion is to take place during the coming
week. The sperry Flour Company have en-
gagged Miss Emma ?. Ewing, the celebrated
breadmsker, to give exhibitions in the art OF
bread-making in all its different forms at their
booth in the Pavilion. Miss EwingTwas award
ed the grand gold medal at the Worlds Column
bisn Fair at Chicago. and her fame prior TO
that event was worldwide. This means much
10 the ladies Of San Francisco who are inter
ested in the matter, as il will give them en- OPP
porrunity of gaining a knowledge OF this art
which seldom occurs.
The high standing of Miss Ewing is q
guarantee that the process in the manipulation
OF -four viii be much the most interesting
event connected with the exhibition. She has
filed the chair Of professor of domestic economy
in the agricultural college Of Ames, Iowa, also
the same position in the Perdeau University OF
Indiana, and was superintendent Of cookery at
the ChaUteuqua assembly. IT is only in keeping
with the high standard of the Sperry -four that
such a renowned lady should be engaged to
demonstrate 70 the world that the product OF
the Sperry mills is without a peer. Visitors TO
the Pavilion will be highly entertained during
the coming week, and there will be some les
s0ns learned that will bring joy TO many house
holds.
