MEN MAKE BETTER TEACHERS
President Charles w. Eliot of Harvard
Says Plan to Equalize Salaries
Is Most Destructive.

New York.-In regretting his inabil-
ity to lecture in New York on the ques.
ton of equal pay for men and women
teachers, which the board Of educa.
ton proposes to adjust by reducing
the salaries of men, former President
Charles w. Eliot of Harvard writes to
Joseph Van Denburg:
"The sex of the teacher is of abso.
lutely no Importance in education. II
is a perfectly clear result Of much
experience that men make better
teachers for boys over twelve than
women do. You tell me the board OF
education is planning to reduce the
salaries of men teachers. A more de
structive policy could hardly be i'm
agined There are two reasons for
paying women teachers less than men.
First, with rare exceptions, they do
not and cannot do the same work
Secondly, teaching as temporary oc-
cupation for young women is more de-
sirable among the occupations open
to women than it is for young men
