DETROIT SALARIES
NOT UP TO MARK
Local Teachers Preparing Compare
tive Tables in Campaign for
Boost in Pay.

Miss Laura Downey. teacher In one
OF the elementary classes In the
Houghton school, Eighth and Abbott
SITS. with other members OF com
mittee OF teachers. Is preparing q
comparative table OF salaries, paid
teachers In various cities, for the pur.
pose OF trying TO convince the alder
men and estimators that the Detroit
teachers are entitled to more pay.
I'VE expect to have the schedules
ready In few days." said Miss Dow.
ney to The Times, Tuesday. I'VE
have written to 20 OF the large cities
for information concerning the sal
aries paid their teachers, and We ex.
pect early replies. In some Of the
big cities we already know what Is
being paid. For instance, Cleveland
pays the schedule we are asking. The
Cleveland elementary teachers start
In at $500 q year and get an annual
increase Of 500 until they reach the
maximum. $1,000 As II il now. we
get an increase OF $50 year and the
maximum IL $500 q year.
1T should be remembered, too, that
II takes a teacher long time to reach
the maximum salary. She has to
spend about Ia years preparing her
self IN public school and academic
work for the teaching profession;
then II takes her nine years to work
up to the $500 mark after starting in
at the minimum salary Of $500 year,
with an increase of only $50 q year.
There are 1,600 teachers In the city
and 1900 OF them are In the elemen-
tary rooms. In the high schools the
minimum salary Is 500 and the maxi
mum $1,000 for all teachers who are
not principals; the principals get
more, of course.
1.-The teachers certainly need more
pay. They give up all their energy
and ability to the teaching OF the chill
and out of school for the welfare or
the pupils. The teachers are con-
stantly planning and exercising their
brains in every way possible to devise
ways and means of advancing the In
terests OF their pupils. The teachers
are also under qpite an expense in
adding to their education by travel
and study for the benefit Of the chill
dren. This IL an item which is not
generally taken into consideration by
the public. The average teacher. too,
has more than herself to keep; she
usually has others dependent on her.
I'VE realize that the increase We
are asking for will mean an addition
OF $4,000 year to the pay roll,
about 20 cents per thousand added to-
the taxes, but that, surely, Is not ask
ing too much. At least, we trust that
the aldermen and the estimators will
be favorable to US, seeing that the
board of education has approved OF
the plan. We are going to make an
effort to see each alderman person
ally, for we believe much good can be
accomplished for our cause in that
way"
Miss Downey said that she and the
other teachers OF the city greatly APP
preciate the effort The Times made
for them a year ago, when they tried
to get an increase In salary, and were
also deeply grateful for the papers
work in their behalf at the present
time

CHILD REjO|CEs
OVER RECOVERY
Little Esther Read, Terribly Burned,
Improves Rapidly Just As 0per-
alton Is Planned.

Little Esther Read, whose remark
able recovery from burns was toto
In Mondays Times, 10 the happiest
child In town. She was in bed for
nearly two years In consequence Oh
the burns she sustained, and 1t was
feared at one time that she would be
crippled for life, II, indeed, she did
not die OF her injuries. A large por-
ton OF flesh was burned on OF one
leg near the hip. and 1t was only by
the grating of skin from the fathers
body that It was possible to get the
wound to heal.
Yet, even with the healing OF the
big sore, the doctor In attendance was
afraid an operation would be neces-
sary to prevent the leg from being
stiff. All arrangements were made
for the operation, three weeks ago,
but II was not performed, because
Esther's physical condition began to
show marked Improvement, and she
was soon able to use her leg without
difiiculty. Now she Is able to walk,
though with slight limp, and has
even done some roller skating In the
neighborhood. She plays every day
with her former playmates about her
home, No. 25 Webster-pl., and they
are just as pleased to see her out as
she Is to be able to be with them.
Esther, now II years old, was
burned while engaged with other chill
dren in setting OF firecrackers, at
the rear of her home. July 4, 1903.
Her dress caught fire and she was
mass of flames when her mother ar
rived in response to her cries. A
man who was passing the house at
the time also ran to her rescue. He
quickly threw his coat about her ana
smothered the flames, but not before
she had been seriously burned. His
presence OF mind, however, had much
to do with saving her life. He disap-
peared Immediately after the accident
and his identity remained unknown
for some time. Esther's father finally
learned that he lived In the neighbor-
hood and he hunted him up and ex-
pressed his gratitude.
Esther Is noted In the neighborhood
for her beauty. She IL regarded as
one of the prettiest children In the
city. When she was baby she took
a beauty prize in a newspaper con-
test. Only the other day she posed
for Clark Bros, photographers. Baker
and Twentieth-sts.. who plan to use
her photograph as q sample for order
work.
