THE ADVANTAGE OF THE DAVIS LAW
A TAXPAYER THINKS THE SCHool.
TEACHERS SALARIES SHOULD NOT
BE REDUCED.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In that portion Of the report of the Charter
Revision Commission to the Governor relating 10
the Department of Education the Commission rec
ommends that the salary schedule of the so-called
Davis law be repealed. giving as its reasons that
this law provided for 1.-THE mnima and annual
increments throughout the city without regard to
the expenses OF living in the localities where teach
were employed the salaries which had been
there regarded adequate before consolidation.
and, that 'the expenses of the department have
been annually increased last S3oooooo in excess
of the amount which would have been necessary
to put In effect the schedules proposed by local
school authorities 81 that 1.-THE annual expense
per capita OF the population FOR the maintenanee
Of public school system has been nearly doubled
in the last five years"
II may be questioned whether the regulating OF
salaries by the expenses of living I'm the localities
where teachers are employed is altogether just
Logically. salaries should be proportioned TO the
work performed And if the same standard and
city it would seem only fair to have uniform sala-
ries. regardless of salaries paid In what were VII
lage schools before consolidation.
The other reason giyenIthe increase in cost %, 1f
II the salaries paid under the Davis law
cessive- Under this law female teacher receives
salary is increased for meritorious service $40
S a9o rssehsd Gns se fs so
year-s1I so a week--at the start. with an annual
years. when the maximum salary Of g 100 Is
reached The highest salaries paid 10 principals e. 9' =,
women and $500 to men. No one familiar with
the education duties and responsibilities required
of a teacher I'm a New-York public school Will
assert that these salaries are excessive. A female
teacher starts in ON the same salary 3 the city
pays TO doorkeeper or an uneducated day laborer
In it's employ.
The advantage of the Davis law is that it offers
some inducement TO persons of scholarly attain
ments to become teachers and 10 remain such. by
q gradual Increase of salary for meritorfOuS ser
vice. Some such inducement is necessary IL the
best class of teachers IS TO be obtained. III is
fortunate that the Commission. in It's otherwise
admirable report. has sought 10 economize the eN-
penses OF the city government by recommending
reduction In the salaries Of its public schOO teach
ers-the most overworked and underpaid we'll
the most faithful of its employees.
