Teachers of the state through the
state teachers pension committee IS
are making a strong fight this year
TO secure passage of tea chers' pen,
sion bill through the legislature.
Miss Mabel G. Pierce. secretary OF
the committee, has issued circular
pointing out the reasons for such
a pension bill, and one of the strong
points made is comparative wage
scale, which is as follows: Average
annual wage Of teachers, s405: OF
carpenters, $500; of coal miners,
$500; of factory workers. $3.50; OF
common laborers, $50 $500
The points mentioned by Miss
Pierce IN favor OF establishing such
a pension system are that ''it will
enable school boards TO honorably
retire teachers who have given their
best years to the schools; Il will
hold I'm the profession many persons
Of ability who now leave 1t for en-
ployment that offers financial
future: It win attract many strong
men and women who now enter 9th
er employments: II will enable Min.
nesota to keep her own strong teach
ers: II viii make for broader cul
ture and better health In the teach
ing force; II will tend TO make
teaching a profession rather than Q
make-shift job; II will increase the
number of vigorous and competent
instructors: II will create future
in school work"
