Teachers in Illinois
Paid Small Wages

Statistics just issued by state officials
prove the contention OF Illinois public
school teachers that their pay is low.
The average salary of the 5000 men
teachers in the state is S7T2.0T year.
according to the figures prepared by the
state superintendent, and the average
salary OF the 2i,a50 women teachers il
S6i3.70.
There are "a men aud 332 women
teachers receiving under 5000 year: COZ
men and 2,0lT women under $500: ,o7O
men and d.2s9 women under Sio0. and
$40 men and 5.5s7 women under $500 n
year.
II spite Of the low salaries paid. tnc
teachers are loyal to the profession. and
that the charge that teaching is made n
temporary occupation until something
bcttor is found is not always true is
proved by the fact that 2.3sa teachers
have been in the profession for twenty
years.
