PAY is UNEQUAL
FOR Equal WORK
Wide Range in Salaries Paid to
Teachers Is Shown by Gov
ernmental Investigation.

Wide variation in the pay for the
same or similar work is one of the
most striking situations revealed by
the investigation of teachers salaries
just completed by the United States
bureau of education, under the direc-
ton of J. c. Boykin. editor of the
Bureau Public elementary school
teachers may receive $4,000 a year,
as some do in New York City, or $40
year, as in certain rural communi-
ties. Even in cities of the same class
there are considerable differences in
the salaries paid teachers. On the
administrative side there are county
superintendent with pay ranging from
S115 to $4,000 per annum, and college
presidents receiving salaries all the
way from 5000 to S12,4OO.
In city school systems salaries have
increased steadily in recent years, par
ticularly in the western states; and,
in general, salaries in city school sys-
TENS are fairly well standardized. The
average salary of the superintendent
of schools in cities of over 100000
population is Sits; the range is from
$4,000 to 100000 In the same group
of cities high school principals aver
age s3,565 and elementary teachers
S1,01S. Even in the smallest cities
listed, those between 5000 and TO-
600 population. salaries are fairly uni
form. The maximum for superin-
tendents in this group is $500 and
the average S1,915; but elementary
teachers show an annual average of
$3.50, with salaries as high as $3.50
and as low as $104 1t is in the col
leges and universities that the widest
Variation prevails. The salaries of
men with the rank of professor"
range from $3.50 to $500 "Profes

than instructors" or even assistants"
in others Salaries of deans of these

Purity of the Law.

At Bodmin assizes once barrister
while pleading was interrupted by the
Judge:
. MIR. Carter, you are wasting the
time of the court"
Time of the COURT" retorted the
truculent veteran, glazing fiercely at
the bench Your lordship means
your lordship's dinner,'
The judge threw up his hands in de-
spair and Carter continued his ha-
rangue in peace.
The same redoubtable advocate was
on another occasion defending man
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses.
False pretenses.'' said he, with fine
scorn. why, we all make them every
day, barristers and solicitors and
judges-the whole lot of us, Talk of
the purity of the judicial ermine''-
here he pointed derisively to the learn
ed Judge. who sat covering on the
bench-"why it's only rabbit skin!"
Shouts of laughter greeted this ir-
reverent statement, which investiga-
ton would probably show to be liter
ally true.-London Tit-Bits.

pected. The highest average salaries
for full professors are paid in law and
civil engineering. Law claims the
highest paid professorship in any sub
ject, with one salary of $500; but
there are professors of physics, geol-
ogy, and Latin who receive $1,000.
1t is significant, however. that Gu the
basis of the figures reported most cor
lege teaching, particularly in the first
two years. is done by men of instruct
or grade with salaries of $1,000 to ST.
200, or by assistants who receive on
the average about $500, usually for
half-tiwe services.
Quite as noteworthy is the variation
in salaries for state superintendent
of public instruction. The salaries or
the chief school officers in the various
states range from $4,000 in New Jer-
sey and New York; $500 in Illinois;
SO 500 in Massachusetts. and $4,000 In
PENNSYLVANIA, Wisconsin, California.
Indiana and Louisiana; down to $4,000
in Delaware, Nebraska and Nevada;
81 900 in South Carolina, and $1,000 in
South Dakota.

teachers salaries at different periods

that Butterfield has been arrested, and
even showed a slip containing writ

they found that Butterfield had not
been arraigned on the charge and in
quired the reason. An alteration fol-

Most of the inhabitants are en-

city, so that one can scarcely pass
along the streets on account of the
throng. The inhabitants are magnifi-
Gently appareled and are extremely

main in their houCes in the city at

little for foreigners. but scoff at
