receives the minimum salary Of $3.50

After six years OF successful sery-
ice she receives the maximum of 1855

graduates offering for schools has be-
come Jnoticeably less, for reasons OBJ
vious.
Many teachers desire the profess
sional training offered by the sum-
mer schools, but the small salary re-
ceived makes it impracticablo in
many cases.
Statistics were obtained from thir-
~ cities about the size of Richmond
concerning the salaries paid elcmen-
tary teachers In their public schools.
Richmond teachers receive salaries
lower than those Of any city on that
list.
Among the city employees the wo-
men teachers In the elementary
schools are paid the lowest salaries,
Over 95 per cent. Of the children
now In school are under the charge
Of elementary teachers. To these wo-

The maximum salary asked by the
