To Pension School Teachers.

Last Saturday Mr. Hartman intradu~-
ed a bill in the Legisla ure which pro-
vides that tn use persons who shall have
taught in any OF the public or normal
schools OF this State twenty-five years.
aud have reached the age oi sixty years.
and have "a record without reproach.
and who are, by reason Of physical or
mental disability unable to teach longer,
shall be put on the retired list and be en-
titled 20 receive pension from the State
OF 5000 year. We believe that this bill
will commend itself to the approval # a
majority OF the taxpayers of the State
as a measure of simple Justice. When
the character OF the work and the stand
ard Of qualification required for its per
form snce are considered it can hardly be
denied that school teachers are the poor
est recompensed of all public employees.
Their work is constantly becoming more
arduous and erce-eXhausting and the
standard of qualification constantly al
vaDced. Much OF the oGt- of school time
must bedevoted to prt paration for school
work. and the vacation, which was form
eriy theirs for recuperatioD, for repose
and for attention to the innumera5.e af-
iairs reqaiTed TO be looked after before
resumption Of school work. Is now large
ly devoted To attendance upon the nor
NAL schools, which not only consume
time hat money also, and the teacher is
forced to pay Others for much work that
she might otherwise do for herssli in this
time.
Under these circumstances, nothing but
the practice ofths strietest economy (per-
haps better word would be penurious-
ness) and self-dsuisl would enable teach
ers to provide themselves with food, fuel
raiment and pay doctors and druggists.
and keep BODY and soul together. They
can never indulge the hope of putting
anything asidefor old age orarainy day,
and they do well TO meet current cx-
penses Teachers are necessarily persons
OF more than average intelligence, and in
temperament and character they must be
spe 'ia'ly and peculiarly qualified for the
calling they fo.low. Surely then, when
after quarter Of a century OF isi;hiul
service inadeqnat' iy recompensed the
State should not begruige tn the con-
partively few who reach three score years
OF age the paitry SUN az 5000 year for
the short period Of life that will still re-
main 60 them In no ssnse cf the word
would such pension be a gratu;ty or a
charity 10 ia rs Just a debt for fsithfrl
services received as j. the interest on the
bonds which represents the money we
have borrowed The Legislature should
