THE HUMANE ELEMENT

AYOTHING illustrates more fore
M IDLY the extent to which the
l humane element in social rela-
lions is gaining power than the pas
sage by the Minnesota and other legis-
latures of bills providing for mothers
pensions. Within the memories of
many now living, the only recourse for
a mother left destitute was to allow
her children to be taken from her and
placed in some institution, or adopted
by well-to-d do family. And there are
even some who can remember when
children of women left in such con-
dition were "bound out" to persons
who hoped to get better than value
received out of them in the way of SER
vices. And all this with the sanction,
and often indeed under the mandate,
of the law. One needs but to recall
the story of "Shocky" and Hannah"
in "The Hoosier Schoolmaster" to rea-
lie something of what such a system
means.
We thought we had accomplished
a great advance in humanity when
the bond system was abolished, but
that was as nothing compared to what
is projected under the mothers pen
sion acts. Such laws as these mean
that families which otherwise must
have been broken up will be pre-
served, and that boys and girls who
might have become inmates of various
institutions will instead receive ma
ternal individual attention.
Truly the world moves, and men
are growing more and more appre-
ciative of the advantages of working
for the common good. Properly safe
guarded, the mothers pension should
become force for incalculable value
to the state through the maintenance
of the possibility of home training for
unfortunate children-Duluth Herald

THE PAY OF TEACHERS

" HE average teacher IN the pup
lie schools does not receive a
L salary commensurate with the
Importance and value of her work.
Of course, there are poor teachers, but
they are quickly superseded by teach
ers who are able to fill the positions
satisfactorily. The profession OF
teaching has always been a poorly
paid profession. A few prominent
men and women receive high salaries;
the rank and file are underpaid. This
is especially true of the women teach
ers. The good teacher has spent some
years and some money in fitting her
self for her calling. She should COM
mand better pay than she does. The
result is that many teachers, in order
to make both ends meet, to say moth
ing of laying a penny by for rainy
day, find it necessary to spend some
time during the summer vacations CIV
ing instruction in training schools.
This draws on her nervous force, de-
vitalizes her and makes it impossible
for her to take to her work in the Fall,
a physique and mental apparatus
keyed to the pitch necessary to enable
her to properly perform her daily
round of exacting duties. This is not
as it should be. The public can well
afford to pay their teachers more mon
ey; it would be better policy in more
ways than one. This subject is so
we'll treated in recent editorial in the
Minneapolis Journal, that The Herald
reproduces it here:
"The grade school teachers are the
backbone of our system of popular ed
ucation. They train 80 per cent of all
those who attend the public schools at
all. The greatest good of the great
est lumber demands that the grade
teachers should be taken care Of 1t
is a question of ways and means.
"The Journal calls attention to the
request of these servants who have
no one to advocate their cause. They
are deserving and faithful, and the
effect of an increase would be felt i'm
mediately in better work in the grades.
Teachers would have some leisure for
rest, travel and self culture during the
long vacation. Now they rush into
summer school or other work that will
exc out their incomes, and come back
to their labors bodily and mentally
tired instead of refreshed and REIN
vigorated This is a condition that
need not be, if the city will but do it's
duty. The community can better
stand an extra tax for teachers wages
than declining standard of teaching
