TEAoHrNG Is PER1Lous WORK.
Educator Tells why So Few of Them
Die of old Age.

Public school teaching, according to
Secretary Lyman A Best Of the New
York Board Of Retirement, is q hazard
Gus occupation, taking rank in mortality
with that Of the soldier. policeman and
fireman. Mr. Best in his annual report
Just out. seeks TO correct the idea that
because teachers have short hours and
long vacations their work is easy. He
says
"Thirty-nine per cent Of the teachers,
who have been retired in the last six
years we're suffering from nervous break
downs, while a considerable number had
heart disease
Some years ago, when the agitation
for teachers annuites was Just begin
ming 1t was difficult 70 convince legis-
lators and school board members that our
cause had merit We were told that it
was all very we'll to establish pensions,
annuiues for soldiers, policemen and
firemen, because their occupation we're
extra-hazardous, and they often gave up
their lives for the community which
they saved; but as for the teachers, their
work was easy. their hours short their
vacations long and they made no sac
rifices.
Gradually this has all been changed
as the great work Of the teachers be-
came more fully recognized, as the sac
rifices in nervous and physical energy
made by the teachers in their most
arduous work for the youth of our land
became more fully understood. Germany
wac one OF the first countries TO recog-
nize officially that teachers, Of all public
officers, were deserving Of the highest
consideration as they were the most
likely to sacrifice their health in the dis
charge of their duties. Many observing
educators have called attention to the
relatively large number Of physical
wrecks furnished by the teaching pro-
fession."
Children coming TO school from homes
where conta gious diseases are housed,
and. unsanitary school rooms, Mr. Best
says are responsible for much of the
danger TO which a teacher IL subject.
OF the 1892 teachers retired to Feb
ruary l. 1911. 315 have died, Mr. Best
says, about IS per cent Of the men and
10 per cent Of the women. An enumera-
ton Of the causes Of death would in
dictate most graphically, he believes, the
hazards Of the teachers profession.
Can any other occupation" he con-
cludes show less than 81 per cent of
deaths from old age? Is any other oc-
cupation more hazardous"
