School Changes and salarias

III demanding that the question OF salary
increases ard automatic promotion for tho
washington public school teachers no GO,
ted this session regardless of other issuas
now before Congress relating to tho IocoI
system. the friends of the teachers do not
necessarily align themselves irrevocabIv
against all proposed reforms in the school
administration. The case has merely re-
soiHed Itself down to this proposition: 1t
i evident that there Is objection In many
H'N'''ers 70 one and another Of the general
reforms suggested. and no opposition what
ever TO the plan OF higher salaries and svs-
tematic promotion for the teachers WIZ,
then should not Congress at this session
do that which is generally asked and an
proved and postpone TO another session con-
sideration Of those things which are OF
questionable need wisdom? In other
words, why place in Jeopardy the greater
accompaniment OF putting the schools on q
proper basis OF salaries in order to f1ght
over matters which can as well be settled
later?
1t Is urged in opposition TO tits view Of
the case that the general reforms are a
necessary precedent to or accompaniment
OF more liberal salary and promotion scale
Tor The teachers, This argument is based
upon the assumption that the school admin

economies resulting from the proposed re-
forms viii alone permit the adoption of
the more iIoerai pay scale. Against this con-
tention 1t is ernplla tically declared by the
friends OF the teachers that there Is no need
of such economy, that the administrative
system Is not too costly in comparison with
other cities and that IL Is unnecessary to
skimp and save In order TO pay the teachers
decently for their responsible work.
1t Is decidedly unfair 10 the teachers tn
declare that they shall not receive their
promotions until the economies possible
under the various changes proposed have
been realized. 1t Is in the first rlace doubt
ru whether all of the changes in the ad-
rninistrative system urged upon the House
District committee would together net a
saving sufficient TO balance the additional
expenditure under the proposed promotion
plan. unless the schools We're crippled

careful estimates. 1t Is also proposed that
the present small buildings be replaced
with larger ones. in order 10 economic In
the cost of building maintenance. salaries
of principals and janitors and cost of fuel.
As for this last item, the economists are
all in the dark as to prospective saving
No scheme could possibly be devised to
change the buildings without involving a
very heavy initial outlay. The present
small structures would need to be retained
until the new ones were completed and
there could be no return to the treasury
from the sale of the old for several years
1t is extremely doubtful whether the old
sites selling as they must for their land
values alone. would bring enough to pay
for the purchase of new sites and the con-
struction OF new buildings. But assum-
Ing net saving by some stroke OF finan-
cial legerdemain. 1t would in any event
be years, perhaps ten. before the real
economy of the change would be apparent
Are the teachers to walt for their promo
tons until all these economies are effected
In measure sufficient to bear the cost of
better pay and systematic advancement?
II this Is absolutely necessary, there is In
deed little hope for the adoption of the re-
form which everybody agrees is Just and
requisite for the maintenance of the present
high standard of education In the District.
The teachers friends do not agree that 1t
is essential and they now suspect that the
declaration that the general reforL' lro-
gram must be adopted as a condition pre- ce-
dent TO salary reform is no less than an eff
fort to dragon the advocates Of that re-
form into support of all the projects for
change regardless of their necessity or wis.,
dom.
Meritorious proposals of change or reor-
ganization can afford to stand alone and on
their own deserts, and do not need to be
tagged to the skirts of the underpaid
schoolma' ans, impeding the latter's prog
ress toward the goal OF success and just
treatment

The Coal Strike.

Contrary to the hopes which have been
entertained for the past few months, all ne
gotiations for a continuance of the agree
ments in the coal fields between miners and
operators have failed. and accordingly a
strike in the anthracite region has been de-
clared, to begin next Monday morning, and
all present indications point to the calling
of similar strike of the bituminous miners.
There remains chance that common
sense and consideration for the public wei
fare may yet prevail to effect an adjustment
in the anthracite field, for the miners lead
ers have accepted the proposition Of the
mine owners for a further conference, to
be held next Tuesday, the strike having
been ordered to begin meanwhile. This
tardy acceptance will doubtless be explained
by the union officials on the ground that
they were occupied at indianapolis through
out this week and were unable to meet the
anthracite operators in New York But
the fact cannot be overlooked that II they
had desired to go into conference with the
case unprecedented they could have ordered
the miners to remain at work pending nego-
tiations. AS II is, the ordering OF the strike
and the acceptance of the offer for a further
meeting with the operators strongly SAVIOR
of determination 10 force the issues and
to put the mine owners III position TO yea
or face a continued suspension of mining
In other words. It looks us though the
union leaders had sought to throw the blame
for prolongation of the strike upon the
operators. But they cannot evade the re-
sponsibility of having precipltated the
trouble by ordering the suspension of min
ing pending negotiations.
1t Is discouraging that no way has been
opened to pacific adjustment of the differ
ences between these two factors in the
great fuel equation. In the light OF the ex-,
perience Of 1902, when commission settled
the troubles and laid a broad, equitable
foundation for the maintenance of future
peaceful relations. this strike seems abso-
lutely ineXcusable. The operators and min
eps have gone into these negotiations for
renewal of or change In the existing
agreement IN spirit of Indifference to the
public interests The consumer has been
unrepreSented. save so far as the mine own
ers have asserted that they were unwilling
TO foist off upon the public the increased
cost of production caused by grant of the
miners demands. But neither side has
taken into account the publics share of the
cost of q strike.
