EggiestOn Answers With Figures.
From Richmond News-Leader)
The attention of State School Su-
perintendent Eggleston has been
called to the fact that some of the
Republican speakers are stating that
the salaries of teachers in Virginia have
not increased at all, or have increased
very little, since additional appropria-
tions have been made by the general
assembly for that purpose. His atten-
tion has also been called to a question
asked by Captain Kent. the Republican
nominee for governor. Captain Kent
says: 'If we are spending twice as
much, then results should be twice as
great. But are they? Take our schools
about which Judge Mann and Governor
Swanson manifest SO much concern
are our teachers getting twice the pay
they did twenty-five years ago?"
Superintendent Eggieston issues the
following statement: "The average
salary for male teachers, white and
colored, for the school year ending July
81, 1908, was $S4. Sc per month; and for
female teachers, white Snd colored,
S27. 20per month. The average salary for
the schoo! year ending July 81, 1908, was
S45.7 per month for male teachers,
white and colored, and $34. 90 per month
for female teachers, white and colored.
''The average salary of white male
teachers has been increased since 1905
from $42.2l per month to $52. 20 per
month; and the average salary of white
female teachers has increased since
1905 from $29.S3 per month to S39. IL
per month. ! doubt if any State in the
Union, with similar conditions, has made
better record than this.
''This is a sufficient answer to the
settlement that teachers salaries have
not been materially raised in this State
nder the present administration.
''In answer to Captain Kent's ques-
tion, whether the teachers are getting
twice the pay now that they did twen-
ty-five years ago, have only to say that
in 1888 the sum of 1899, S66. 90 was paid
to the teachers of Virginia. In 1908
the sum of 81, 1850, s39 SO was paid to
them. This is more than twice as much
as was paid twenty-five years ago.
1T should be remembered that in
1883 the State had s, ,974 teachers, while
in 1908 there were e,82S. Moreover,
the school term has been heightened. :"

Evidently the Republicans of Virgins
never have had plan of campaign.
Their course is peculiarly amateurish.
Perhaps it is because they have been
out of politics so long and lack practice

Buckner canvass in 1896. They have
followed one blunder with another.
Mr.. Summers began with an appeal
to the extinct moss-back element of the
State, which drew upon him the deri-
sion of all live men. Mr. Kent followed
with pile of figures intended to show
the wastefulness and extravaganza of
Democratic administrations. Governor
Swanson analysed the pile of figures,
tore them to pieces and scattered then,
to the winds. Then came Mr.. Brent
with assertions regarding the educa-
tional department so absurdly and OBJ
viously inaccurate as to set the whole
State laughing at him. Now arrives
Mr.. ]. L. Shelton, of Richmond. In a
speech at Bowling Green yesterday Mr..
Shelton asserted that Virginia has haG
but two respectable governors since
the war-Governor O'Ferrall and Gov.
ernor Montague. This may not be the
last straw. The Republican orator.
