SCHOOL TEACHERS WAGES.

President Harper. of Chicago Univer-
sity, In an article in the World Today,
argues that the salaries paid to grade
teachers In cur public schools are
grossly disproportionate to the ability
and preparation demanded of the
teacher. In support OF his argument
he quotes statistics Of wages paid in
some OF the principal cities.
Boston pays her high school teachers
from $l,620 to $1,000. and her grammar
school and elementary teachers from
$685. to $2.340. Chicago pays her high
school teachers from $3.50 to $4,000, and
her teachers in the elementary and
graded schools from $500 to $S25. In
st. Louis high school salaries range
from $6S2 to $1,000. and in the grades
from 1920 to 1892. San Francisco high
school salaries are from $500 to $3.50.
while In the lower schools they range
from $3.50 to $747 Philadelphia. the
most medieval of American cities.
pays It's men teachers an average sal
ary OF $l,4s7.70, and its women teachers
an average OF $56s7o. New York state
pays an average OF ss7s.27 in the cities
ana tS21.A9 in the small towns. One
county In Pennsylvania pays the high
est average OF that state, s719.S0 for
msn and $41s.ss for women. The low

il Pennsylvania, where in two counties
mems wages average $22e.71. and wo-

IN some Instances these wages are
