An additional statement has been pre-
pared by the Washington High School
Teachers Association, giving more facts
about the discrimination against high
school teachers in the service prior to
May 26. 1905"
The statement follows
THE Washington high school teachers
are greatly encouraged by the favorable
action of the Senate yesterday relative
TO placing local teachers in the salary
schedule according to their previous years
of experience.
1.-THE Senate. in taking this action,
seeks to secure justice for the local
teacher, in line with the recent decisions
Of the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia and Of the Court of Appeals.
The present salary schedule Is, indeed.
ize that 1t is in actual operation in the
local high schools.
Present Salary Schedule.
Briefly stated. its provisions are as
follows: The teachers who have been EN-
ployed the shortest time in the local
schools, that is, since May %. 1905 when
the amendment to the school law was
passed, receive the largest salaries; the
teacher who have been employed one
year longer than the shortest time, that
is, those who were on probation, May 20,
1903. by the decision Of the Court OF APP
peals, are also to receive the highest
salaries; while the teachers who have
been longest identified with the local high
schools. that is. those who have practical
ly built up the high school system OF
Washington. are receiving the lowest
salaries in the schedule.
ITO put this anomalous situation graph
ically before the public, the committee on
placing. appointed by the Washington
High School Teachers Association, has
prepared the following table illustrating
typical cases Of DETERMINATIONS:

Debate Was Lively.

At the start of the caucus last evening
Chairman Currier read the certificate
from the democratic caucus announcing
the selection of James and Rainey. Rep
resentative Norris of Nebraska asked for
a separate vote on the two men. A sub
stitute offered by Representative Douglas
of Ohio, to tell the democratic caucus
that the republican caucus did not like
James and Rainey, and thought their
selection unwise. was turned down. 1t
was at this point that Mr.. Cooper made
his Jessie James speech. and suggested
that 1t was pretty poor politics Tor the
republicans to ignore democratic caucus
action and themselves select the demo-
cratic members of the committee After
Representative Goebel of Ohio had Of
fered motion to name Lloyd and Clay
ton of Alabama as the democratic men,
berS, Representative j. Sloat Fassett, In
vigorous speech. expressed the belief
that it was unWise to recognize the
democrats at all, and that the minority
caucus had been impertinent to suggest
the names Of the men they desired on
the committee.
Mr.. Douglas motion to slap the demo-
cratic caucus on the wrist was then
turned down by big vote. motion by
Mr.. Roberts to lay the democratic mo-
ton on the table was ruled out OF order
for the time being and the Norris amend
ment proposing TO vote on eacn OeElOcTas
separately was laid on the table. Then
the Roberts motion to table the demo
cratic caucus certification was adopted.
Ruled Out Of Order.
Speaker Cannon would have been
named by the caucus a committee of one
10 select the Ballinger-Pinchot commit
tee if Representative Hamer of Idaho had
hal his way, but his suggestion to this
effect was ruled out OF order.
After a proposition by Representative
Gardner of Massachusetts, to name
merely the republican members OF the
committee had been lost. James name
was submitted for that OF Clayton in the
Goebel resolution, which was carried by
a fair majority. A motion to substitute
Rainey's name for Lloyd was defeated
with a grand chorus. An effort by But.
Ter Ames of Massachusetts, to substitute
Champ Clark Of Missouri and Underwood
of Alabama for James and Lloyd failed.
The caucus adjourned after adopting
the Goebel resolution a. amended.

Other Instances of Unfairness.

THE unfairness of such system of
reckoning teachers experience is aggra-
waited by the fact that the outside ex-
perience of the high-salaried teacher is
accepted on certificate, whereas the inside
experience of the low-salaried teacher
is gained under the close supervision of
local school officials. Another circum-
stance that makes the injustice greater
is the fact that the new high-salaried
teacher comes in to build upon the
foundation laid by the toll of the more
experienced but less well paid teachers.
These underpaid teachers have spared
no effort to keep themselves thoroughly
in touch with all the advances made in
their work. The postgraduate depart
ments of Columbia University, Cornell.
versity of Chicago. Yale. Harvard and
George Washington University have the
names of numerous Washington high
school teachers on their rolls.
"A large part of these teachers small
salaries goes toward broadening their
culture and increasing their professional
ability. Not only in strictly scholastic
work have these loW-salaried teachers
labOred for upbuilding the schools. They
have given most generously their time
and strength and intelligent effort to
those numerous adiuncts Of high school
life that contribute SO largely to any
schools standing. such as the military
drill. athletics. school dramatics. the
school periodical and debates.
Old Guard Earns Credit.
The deservedly high reputation of the
Washington high schools has not been
gained within the last two years. 1t has
been built up chiefly by the faithful la
bors of these teachers Of ten, fifteen and
twenty years experience, who are now
left at the bottom of the ladder, while
less experienced teachers appointed after
May %, 1908. are getting the salaries at
the top.
1.-The high school graduates who have
become prosperous citizens of the commu-
nifty are not the pupils of the new high-sal-
aried teachers. but of the more experienced
low-salaried teachers. The graduates of
our high schools, who are now maintain
ing the honor of their several schools
in colleges throughout the land, were
not prepared by the new. high-salaried
teachers, but by the teachers whose sala-
ries remain low on account of their too
great experience.
THE question may be raised why teach
iers thus disseminated against do not go
elsewhere. 1t is easily answered.: Pre-
cisely because Washington is the only

Vegetable Compound has done for me

restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer

trouble public so you may publish
this letter" Mrs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RID. ,Graniteville, VT.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and I'M
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia y,
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says, 1t is worth noun
tains of gold " to suffering women.
