The Constitution now prescribes four
months as the minimum length OF the
annual school term IT is possible to
take forty dollars and employ a teach
err for ten dollars a month and thus
have a four months school term, but
il is against the public interest that
teachers should be licensed VINO
would teach for that amount. Mary
land, recognizing this difficulty, has
recently made a law making it impos-
sibe to employ q white teacher in the
public schools who is willing to work
for less than three hundred dollars
year. This is less than one dollar
day for the working days in the
year. Indiana. West Virginia and
Pennsylvania also have minimum sal
airy law and no doubt other states VIII
follow the example of these four. AT
first legislation of this character APP
pears to be in the interest of the
school teacher. but people who do not
look at the matter Superllcially VIII
see how valuable such a law is to the
hence to the state. When a county
in North Carolina employees from the
penitentiary q number of cOnVictS TO
work ON the public roads, the wages
paid the state for each convict IS more
than the salaries of the teachers work
ing in the school-houses along that
road Moreover North Carolina still
pays the head of its public school sys-
tenn less than ii pays the superinten-
dent of It's convcts.
The strongest and most persistent
advocates of increasing salaries of
teachers do not hope, nor do they de-
sire, to have the salaries made as large
as first-claSs talent and training can
| earn in commercial pursuits, but eV-
cry teacher of youth ought to have
| sufficient compensation to enable her
| to do her work without the handicap
| of constant financial embarrassment,
and she ought, for the sake of the flu
| ture citizenship of the state, to be able
! TO buy books, subscribe to newspapers,
| educational journals and magazines,
and to do some travelling outside
of her own community every year.
| The pupils taught by such q teacher
will Ieap largely the benefit of the
rea ding and the travel While / am
| presenting here only one side of this
question of teachers salaries, it will
not be difficult to find enough debaters
on the other side in any community
to make the discussion lively and edi-
fyine.
7. Then there is the question of
temperance legislation. which like
Rowan County pie, is of three kinds
"kivered. unItivered and barred" as
Dispensary, open Saloons and Prohi-
bition Good citizens can be found
| who will advocate unselishly each of
these three methods of dealing with
the whiskey question.

cation can find advocates and oppo-
nents anywhere in North Carolina.
