WOMEN TEACHERS ANGRY.
THE WHOLE NEW SALARY SCHEDULE i
MOST EXTRAORDINARY DOCUMENT"
SAWS ONE PRINCIPAL

Just as soon as the women principals OF the public
schools get through with their commencements.
which now taking up most OF their time ana
strength. they going to grid up their lons and
descend upon the Board Of Education. This IS
apropos of the new salary schedule. which is far
from satisfactory and which has one glaring defect
which " i'll be made the point of attack.
Under the old schedule the minimum salary for
a male principal was $3.50; the maximum was 800
The minimum for a woman was S.cO and the max
imum 81, 200. Under the new schedule the minimum
for men is $3.50: 5000 the old maximum is the
second salary and the maximum is $3.50 Tho
minimum for women Is $500. and the maximum
s. 400 Thus the man principal who was receiving
the maximum salary under the old schedule receives
the second salary under the new, and the woman
who receiving the maximum under the old ~
ceives the minimum under the new. AS three years
must elapse before every rise in salary the woman
now receiving the maximum under the old schedule
will have to wait six years before she can receive
the maximum under the new. But the man who
similarly situated under the old schedule. and
has taught three years at his old salary. 5000. can
get his rise to the maximum AT the beginning
Of next year. This. quite naturally. seems 10 tho
women principals most unfair arrangement and
they do rot propose TO submit TO II without
protest .u
a most amusing one to those who are inclined 70
see the udicrous side of things; They have raised
raised the mems. too. that the apportionment is
just as unfair as ever. and as the men wouldn't
have got any rise II we had said nothing II makes
the injustice seem all the greater"
Then the men have got the benefit OF your
work." commented the reporter .
''Of course they have! They knew they would
from the beginning. When we began our agitation
they began to think that they ought TO ask for
rise. too but some of the wiser heads among
them said: our best plan is to keep still. and let
the women do the work. since they seem inclined
to- Then when they have don- II We can climb up

themselves in that way. of course but that is what
they meant. .
Another amusing thing about the schedule"
continued the teacher, rs that all the regular
salaries paid TO women teachers shall be increased
s72 In cases where they teach boys. Now. do you
see what that means? II means simply this that
the Board of Education has considered the matter.
and after weighing all the pros and cons, has
decided that 1t Is worth just So TO teach boys
than TO teach girls That Is the only possible con-
struction that be put upon the action. But, in
actual practice. where man Is concerned. they
estimate the difference In the value OF tie work
at anywhere from 500 TO $50"
