ia III cussed by the New York pol
iticians lately, was. the Ques-
tl0n OF paying women school-teachers
in that city the same wages as men.
Recently a bill was passed in the
State Senate, making the equal wage
matter only OF the Governors sig
nature.
Of all the unfair deals handed to
women, the unfairest is that which
compels her labor at a lower price
than that paid a man.
SchoQl-teachers are not the only
bread-Einners who suffer from this
unfairRess. There is scarcely a
branch OF commercial Or professional
life that does not discriminate
against the woman, no matter how
competent she may be.
We have heard many arguments on
this theme, but the blame is rarely
placed where it belongs-Which is
with the women themselves.
Years ago, when women began first
to invade the fields so long occupied
by men, their services could not de-
mand the same price man could;
women had not been educated to the
business standards exacted Of men,
and the first mistake was made when
the colleges, opened to women, failed
to stress this point.
AS teachers, women Of the old re-
gime were not the equals Of men,
and it was q good many years before
they developed the mental capacity
of the university bred man who was,
in so great number, the teacher Of the
youth Of that time.
When colleges for women began
giving diplomas which we're won af-
ter as hard work as any man put in,
women failed to demand g. change in
the attitude Of the world toward
them.
AS the woman teachers Of fifty
years ago had been paid less than
half tjaa e@laTy paid the Eaan teachers,
the early c9llege graduates neahly
accepted their fate and spent the
knowledge Of years for q wage about
that O. q good cock.
In every field where the two sexes
have been employed, this difference
still holds.
A woman may be never SO honest,
capable, energetic nor ambitious;
If she replaces 3 man, or fills
q position held o2co by man,
her wage is not based on her ability,
but on the usual wage paid a won-
an.
In New York, the public school
system has been dominated by the
politicians; teacherg' positions are
largely regarded as sroiIs of war
Ability, UP to q certain degree, was,
OF cOu&sa, necessary, but the greatest
need was for pull"
The women who taught have lately
become more influential, and their
plea for equal pay with that Of the
men teachers va9, IN large part,
fought by tho politicians. A woman
sister, daughter or "kin" Of any
influential ward-healer or boss, was,
Of course, to be treated with great
respect and given q job, iG she aD-
piled fox one. But ea2o had no vote,
and any old wage was good enough,
provided she made good as a teacher.
But tae man teacher meant & vote;
if he were the son, brother or friend
Of the ward-heeler or boss, his vote
meant the possibility Of other votes
and it is easy to see why the un-
fairness in pay he's existed so long.
But il the other professions, where
q woman holds her place only By
ability; where influence, pull. favor
itiG1n, carry 10 weight, the unfairness
is most manifest.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-10-26

We have progressed so far from
that period it is not even a memory
to some Of US. Several generations
Of women have lived and died since
those days and life for the great ma
jorinty Of professional women is as
stern proposition as it ever was to
a man.
This is one Of the greatest prob
lens the women Of today have to
solve, and If they could concentrate
some Of the energy and enthusiasm
now given to the suffrage question to
this, the woman who works for her
living might sooner gain what was
hers by every right.

event. It CHANGED that the singer was
naturally independent On the other
hand. the caller was notoriously
naughty. As result this was what
transpired between them:
Aftcr the visitor had announced the
import of her coming, the singer sue
cinctIy said she would sing one num-
ber for 5000, and that it would be a
Waguerian selection.
The price we viii not hacGle over"
said the visitor. hut instead Of that
grand opera selection l want you TO
render one of the light and popular
dItties of the day.
For the Waguerian song. 5000; for
the popular ditty, $500" was the firm
reply.
"But. madame" expostulated the so
ciety leader, "your classical song is
much more exacting on your powers.
so why should you charge more for
the lighter and easier song:'
"Ah," replied the independent one
the harder song is ali fun TO me; the
easier one all work"
So the price was fixed at $500
Just as the naughty visitor was
about to depart. she turned to the
artist and said:
"Of course. shall not expect you to
mingle with py guests"
