They Earn About ~ Much - Cobblers o.
DrcssmakerM.


Dressmakerx.
In the country, whether in the east
or west, north or south, the compen-
cation to school-teachers is so small
that It seems wonderful that those who
receive these salaries can live on them.
These salaries range from 500 a year
to 5000 year. The average for Q
school year Of about seven months is
1886 for men and s262.O2 for women.
The duties OF acountry school-teacher
usually includes cleaning the school
house and building fires. These duties
are not always considered hardships by
the persons who take such posts. a. the
women in all save exceptional cases
have been accustomed to such work at
home, and the men find 1t easy enough
to get pupils to do the work in ex-
change for favors in school. In the
country schools Of the United States
there nre three times as many women
as men. the percentage being a little
greater than In the cities.
Most country schools have only one
teacher, and that teacher is required to
instruct children Of all ages and in all
branches up to grammar and algebra.
The amount OF either grammar or
algebra dispensed in these schools is
quite inconsiderable. as these are
branches of knowledge not in demand.
For what these country teachers do,
as the schools are at present estab-
lished, it is likely that they are quite
adequately paid. A village school
master will earn as much in the year as
the cobbler; the schoolmistress will
make as much In the year as the dress
maker. They do not belong, as gen.
eral thing. to class better educated
than the cobbler or dressmaker, and
they do not work any harder. Those
Of them who have thought about their
calling. and who have ever been moved
to feel that great responsibilities de-
volved upon them. have realized that
The conditions were such that they
could do next to nothing, and usually

cure change in school administration.
