surance or any ether property as much
as ten times their annual salary-the
lowest sum that might be expected TO
provide for the family.
How the high cost or living affects
particularly the teacher who seeks to
marry and have a home is strikingly
demonstrated. In Denver, city Of
relatively high salaries. fourteen mar
ried women with no others dependent
upon them, had an average salary of
$1.212 to meet their own needs ex-
clusively; sixteen unmarried women
with others dependent upon them. had
an average salary OF SSo1 TO spend on
each adult person in the family, in
Guiding themselves; but the married
men teachers had an average from sal
of only SI13 for the equivalent of each
adult person, including themselves.
Teachers spend more than working
men for some things, though their pay
is about the same. Rent and clothing
are bigger items in the teachers bud
get than in the laborer's, indicating
more exacting community demands.
Teachers also spend relatively more

The TheafeTs

Girls" as presented last evening
at the Murray theater by the Francis
Sayles players, who are entering upon
second weeks engagement in this
city seemed to please the large audi
ence in attendance
The play is quite different from
many now being staged by stock COM
panies, and was put on last evening
in a most excellent and complimentary
manner.
The play was written by Clyde Fitch
very popular He had the habit of
working on several plays at the same
time. He formerly had a separate
portfolio for each play and would stick
his notes and data into each portfolio
whenever the case demanded.
Quite little comedy runs through
the play of Girls" and those taking
part are very clever.
The curtain rises on a pretty little
scene representing a studio in New
York, occupied by three girls, who
have sworn to have nothing to do
with men. They declare they are suf-
fragists and can live without the
necessary evil" The girls are seeking
positions, and it is quite comical to
hear them tell of their days expert
ences when they gather at the studio
in the evening.
The second act depicts a scene in
the law Office of Sprague & Holt
George H. Sprague, senior partner, and
acted by J. J. Flynn, gives an excellent
portrayal of the fresh and offensive
"old dude" who is always making live
to all the young girls that come under
his observation. The junior partner,
Edgar Holt, acted by Francis Sayles,
is more diplomatic, and arranges in a
clever manner to win the love of Miss
Pamela Gordon, secretary and stenog-
rapher, acted by Miss Olga Worth,
leading woman. Miss Gordan despises
man and is radical suffragist. Her
denunciation of men is very emphatic,
and her acting is excellent.
Miss Lucille Purcelle, elocutionist,
taken by Agnes Earle, is kerry good.
She does her part in most creditable
manner and occasions much amuse.
ment for the audience by her many
| silly remarks. She is a typical old
maid looking for man"
Violet Lansdown, stenographer and
! illustrator, is very clever. The part
is taken by Evelyn Kincaid.
The other member of the trio is Leta
Eyferth who takes the part of Kate
West. She joins theatrical company
and ends by marrying the manager
Miss Gordon marries the junior mem
Der of the firm, and Miss Violet mar
ries Frank Loot, a clerk of the law
firm. The play ends happily.

The leading lady is very attractive
and is making many friends. The com

The matter of oiling streets in the

who wish to have the streets oiled.
Several members of the club stated
that they would take up the PROPOSE

The report was made by Sharon E.

report will be used as a model from
which the work in future years will be

because the amount originally appro

Most of the teachers in the United
States have, in effect, had their sal
aries reduced since 1897 Despite an
apparent increase in money received.
the high cost of living has cut into
their salaries just as definitely as If
a school board had sliced them. A
teaching position which paid 5000 sal
airy in 1897 is paying in purchasing
power the equivalent of about S416
today, if measured by 1897 prices. The
teacher on $1,000 salary gets no more
for his money today that he would
have procured fifteen years ago for
1898.
This is what the high cost of living
has done to teachers and others on a
fixed salary schedule. according to a
report on teachers salaries and cost
of living, distributed by the United
States bureau of education.
DR. Robert c. Brooks, executive sec
rotary of the y E. A. committee.
which prepared the report, shows by
bureau of labor sgures that whole
sale prices had increased 500 per cent
in the same period, while in June, 1912.
retail food prices were GIT per cent
higher than in 1896. With these fig
ures as a basis, he analyses teachers
salaries in five cities in different parts
of the United States and demonstrates
the plight of the teachers in the prob
lem of increased cost of living.
According to the Brooks report, the
teachers do not receive enough salary,
even in the cities, to save money to
carry adequate life insurance or to
proceed with further professional
training Out of the 1900 teachers
Investigated, only thirteen were found
who possessed property over $4,000
and practically every one of these
thirteen owed their good fortune to
sources other than their salaries as
teachers. Nearly all of the men teach
ers carried life insurance, but few OF
them a sufficient amount. Only four
