TEACHERS PAY
Congress Has This Winter
Been Studying the Cost of
Teaching The Young Idea
REMUNERATION LOW
IN MANY PLACES EDUCATORS
GET LESS THAN DoMESTICS-
PRIMARY TEACHERS ESPEC-
IALLY ARE POORLY PAID

WASHINGTON, June II, 1906
Among the civic questions in which Con-
gress has been taking an interest this
winter has been that of teachers sal
aries, and the committees of Representa-
tiyes and Senators who govern the Dis
trict of Columbia have been expressing
some surprise at the low pay of school
teachers generally, and especially IN THIS
city. The result of this acquisition of
knowledge on the part of Congress,
take any interst in civic and educational
questions, has been the raising of sal
aries in Washington. although the in
creases made still leave some of the
teachers educated women who have spent
years of work and considerable money in
training for their employment, drawing
less pay than is given to policemen and
street cleaners in most big cities. Count
ing in the item of free board, there is
more pecuniary indueement for woman
to become cook, chamberhaid or laun-
dress than a school teacher.
Some interesting comparisons of sal
aries paid to school teachers in the pub
lie schools of nineteen prominent cities
of the country is contained in advance
sheets from the report of the Commits
sioner of Education. These show. in a
general way. that Newark is one of the
cities that has in recent years made ma
terial increases in the pay of its public
school instructors, so that that city
ranks fairly well on the salary question.
The figures for the different cities used
TO draw conclusions are from reports
within the last FIVE years, majority be-
ing for the years 1906 or 1904, while in
on conditions tha existed in 1901 or
1862. One of the striking features of
the whole lot of figures is the survival
of the old dead-and-damned theory that
II doesn't require as much brains and
ability TO be kindergarten or primary
teacher as to give lessons and instruc-
tion. which doesn't always mean the
same thing by any means, to children in
grammar or high school classes.
1t is in the pay of grammar, primary
and kindergarten teachers that the mos,
remarkable differences are shown, the
number of cities which have made any
material increases giving recognition to
the Importance of such work being in
the minority. The comparative figures
not only afford an idea of the varying
Importance accorded to teachers work
in different sections of the country. but
show in a rather distressing way how
much the old idea still holds in some
communities that anybody can teach
young children. 1t is this idea prevailing
among so many chuckle-headed school
boards that is responsible for while lot
of the youngsters who wind up in reform
schools or as cigarette-smoking corner
loafers
