TEACHERS ENGAGED FOR LIFE
Swiss Pedagogues Receive Small Pay,
But Arc Persons of Consequence
In the Community.

Nearly 80 per cent of the teach
crs in Switzerland arc men, says W.
X Tate, supervisor OF rural schools
in South Carolina. Mr. Tate has just
returned from three months inyes-
tisation of Switzerland under tho
auspices OF the national bureau Of cd
ucation.
Five hundred dollars is considered
a good salary for teacher After
lifetime Of service he may go as high
as $500 Living il cheaper there than
here, however, and in addition to his
salary he is given a dwelling, GER
tain amount of garden land and wood
for fuel His dwelling is generally
in the same building with the school.
Ills position is Of considerable local
Importance Aside from his duties in
the schoolroom, he is often secretary
of the local creamery association, lead
er of the village band, organist in the
church and general intellectual guide
for the community.
When teacher is engaged 1t is
for life or q long term of years. He
settles down with the people whose
children he teaches, and expects to
make that particular job his life
work. Changes are rare. Twelve
new teachers in one year in sys-
tenn of 240 was considered very un-
usual. The record for continued sery-
ice in the same village is held by a
teacher in Thurgau, who has occu-
pied the same position for 65 years
One teacher that | visited has held
his position for "a years. and his ia
thor held the same position for 35
years.
. "One OF the most attractive fea-
lures OF the Swiss schools is the cor
