The teachers in the district
schools will receive wages about
twenty per cent higher this year
than last, the logical result of
the law of supply and demand.
Some of the school boards failed
to grasp the effect of the dearth
of teachers upon the wages which
must be paid, and have expected
to be able to hire as cheap this
year as in the past, but the majority
of them see the matter in differ
ent light and are willing to pay
more. Even then the teachers
wages are below the average paid
to the hired men on the farms or
any other class of employees
Teachers have for years past been
the underpaid hirelings of the
people, and it is about time that
they are beginning to get value
received for their work in educa-
tional lines.
