TEACHERS SALARIES

iEAtHhhS DhLANiho
Ediio,fd bom ErcHjNg JoW"aI
We have before MS the directory
and program Of the thlrtN-eIghth
annual New Castle Coutny Teach
rrs Institute, the three-day meet
inc of which ended in this city last
week, II contains facts and figures,
complied by A. h. Spaid, County
Superintcndent, which shows the
grossly inadequate salaries pald 10
many teachers in the rural school
districts in this county and also the
imperative necessity for the consol-
ilation OF many Of the districts, to
the end that decent salaries may be
paid and decent school houses pro
vided. There are l2S school dlS-
tricts IN rural New Castle county,
and the tables prepared by profes-
sor spaid show that q Of them the
compulsory attendance period Is
only ,hree months a year; that IN
six the compulsory period is only
four months a year, while III iS 1t
is five months year.
1t is the opinion of Professor
Spaid, who has given to the 11es,,
ton of the compensation OF school
teachers much careful thought,
that no teacher should receive a
salary of less than $40 a month, or
$40 week, and that there should
be annual increases to build up
minimum to a respectable living
wage for professional work. 1t
should be borne in mind that the
rural district teachers only are paid
for the months in the year during
which they teach and during the
remaining months they must seek
other work, exc out a precarlous
living on the scant savings OF the
school term, or be dependent upon
relatives.
Let us cite few instances to
show how miserably rural school
teachers are paid, during the cur
rent school year. Delicacy con-
strains us to omit the names of the
teachers.
District No. s, ROckland, for in
stance, employs one teacher at SD
Il. month and last year the number
Of days taught in that school was
lS9, or tritie over six months of
actual teaching time.
District No. 81. Milford X Roads
pays it's teacher only S35 month,
and last year the number of days
taught was l6S, or trifle less than
six months of actual teaching time.
District No. 36, White Clay
Greek, pays its teacher only $50 a
month, and last year the number of
teaching days was l5S. or a tritir
over five months. We give here
with sevral other districts to show
what precarious living many
teachers have as a result of the
parsimony Of those who contrib
ute the school funds or because dis
tricts which are unable or unwill-
ing to support the schools and pay
the teachers properly, take no steps
to consolidate with other districts
and to have school facilities and
pay salaries that are worth while.

MISUSE OF NATIONAL FLAG.
No National Statute TO Punish Such
Acts-Law Needed.

No National Statute TO Punish Such
Acts-Law Needed.
Recent charges and denials of abuse
and misuse of the American flag have
developed the fact that there is no ma
tional statute making such acts punish
able. Several states are said to have
severe laws on the subject, and the
war department officials are hopeful
that agitation will lead legislators OF
other states to adopt similar laws.
Major General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff of the army. contends that
the national ensign should never be
used as a table covering or be tackled
up as drapery, but that it should al
ways be suspended from line or staff
or hung against the wall. 1t is COM
mon practice on shipboard to spread
the flag over the chaplatn's table or
desk during services, and this practice
is condemned i'm some quarters as a
misuse of the flag.
An attempt probably will be made to
secure national legislation on this sub
iect, but it is said that SO many private
interests would be adversely affected
that the success of the attempt is
doubtful.
