Mr. Norris G. Osborn, Editor,
New Haven Journal and Courier,
New Haven, ct.
My Dear Mr. Osborn:
On a recent hurried trip to New Ha-
ven l learned Of the recommendations
for very meagre increase of salaries
made by the Board of Education and
of the more liberal attitude OF the
Board of Finance. l had no oportun-
ity in my brief stay to find out what
the schedule is that the teachers are
working for, but you may be interest
ed in comparing 1t with the enclosed
schedule which is, I understand, the
most conservative one submitted to
the New York Board of Education $
salary committee. People here appre-
ciate the value of education both as
"a necessity for good city government
and as a means of increasing the pro
ductive power of its future citizens.
The schedule passed by the New Ha-
ven Board Of Education has two de-
fects aside from the fact that it is
generally parsimonious.
In the first place New Haven has for

years BY a process of Selection based
on an ascending scale Of salaries pick
ed out its superior teachers for the
first grade and tn. grades above ti4
third. 1t is a slender reward for
those teachers to be advanced now a
beggarly seven or eight per cent,
While those less efficient are advanced
thirty per cent. Granting even that
the board was mistaken originally in
IN its discrimination against positions
in the second and third grades Ga de-
batable question: is it either wise or
fair to give so large an increase to
those either less efficient or unwilling
to take upon themselves the burden
Of the harder work of the upper grades
or of the first grade and to give those
who were efficient and progressive
such a paltry raise as seven or eight
per cent?
Secondly, the principals in all the
smaller buildings are selected because
Of their general merit as teachers and
their merit especially in a disciplin-
airy and executive way. They receive
practically no help for the perform
ance OF a large amount of extra work
All whom 1 knew both in and out Of
my district were superior women. Tc
discriminate against them in raising
salaries is to discriminate against the
best you have. To offer them any
thing less than twenty per cent. ad;
vance is to -bloodedly take adj.
vantage of the fact that they have ties
which bind them to New Haven and
prevent them from taking more lucra-
tive positions elsewhere.
AS for the high school your tenden.
cy under the new schedule as under
the old will be for the best teachers
to leave while the inferior are retain
ed. You have few good high school
teachers who are not eligible for po-
sitions In New York paying $1,000
(maximum) to women and $4,000 tc
men with opportunities for advance tc
$500 and $4,000 respectively. More
over these figures are considered toe
low and are likely to be raised from
ten to twenty per cent. this fall.
The movement to which you are
lending a helping hand is long over
due. In the end 1t viii pay for itself
in greater security against the vio-
lence of massed Ignorance and in the
greater wealth-produclng power of the
community. Sincerely yours,
STUART H. ROWE.
