The bill to pension teachers after
% years of service should be killed in
the committee. The scheme is wrong
IN principle. No privileged classes
are wanted in this country. The
masses of the people are compelled
to provide for support in old age by
the practice of thrift IN youth and
middle age. To relieve any class of
this necessity is 70 encourage them to
spend all their income, and to forego
that self denial which is the condition
OF all progress. The teachers are the
last persons that onght to be encour
aged in thriftless habits, as the infu
ence of their example will be pernic
ious to the children under their care
Of course it is true that the teachers
are badly paid and that many of them
can make no provision out of their
| IL old oil hat
places as teachers are eagerly sought,
and the number of those who fail to
attain them is always large. Still it
must be admitted that many teachers
are inadequately paid. The remedy
for this Is better pay, and not pen
sions. Give the teachers all their ser
vices are worth and let them provide
for old age as other people do
