SCHOOL TRUSTEES
YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE.

In an editorial published several
days age we called attention to the
great injustice done to school teach
ers i'll obliging them 10 attend insti-
tutes ut their W expense. We rise
again in their behalf and refuse posi-.
lively 10 be represscd until justice is
given in this matter.
As previously stated, the time re.
quired for preparation for teaching is
about the same as for the other pro.
iessi"ns. Their work is the most
nerve %wracking. their calling the mob
lest, and their pay is the
Lii the doctor, the dentist, or the
lawyer. they must obtain II certificate
by examination to practice, and that
certificate Is a guarantee of their abil-
~. But unlike the other professions
The teacher is compelled by law TO
attend yearly Institutes at their own
expense. Failure or refusal TO attend
subjects them to the penalty OF for
feiturc of their certificates. And in
addition TO this it has become an un-
written law hat teachers should at
tend summer schools during their va
cations.
Here in Elko County many OF our
teachers are obliged TO come more
than a hundred miles. Some of them
have to travel by stage. These trips
are tiresome and at this season of
the year cold and ~disagreeable, to say
nothing OF the necessary expenses.
The legislature was thouShtless and
inconsiderate when II enacted such q
provision without providing for eX-
penses.
Take for instance Il school tcacher
in. of our district schools sixty
miles from the county seat, and re-
ceiving a salary of siNty.hve dollars a
month. After living expenses and
fare TO and from her home are paid.
she has left a miserable pittanCe as
compensation for her time and energy.
And now in addition she is compelled.
under the penalty of having her Certi-
ticate revoked. to attend institute. BE
sides her fare, her living expenses
while in town will be at least from
three to four dollars a day. 1t is
nothing short OF IN outrage. Public
sentiment will resent this abuse and
not permit 1t TO long endure.
The trustees of the various school
districts have the power TO right this
wrong and they should proceed forth
with TO do it. Every teacher from an
outside district should be allowed her
fare and at least four dollars Il day
for her expenses for every day she
is Obliged to be away from her
school. We would suggest that State
Superintendent Bray intercedC with
the trustees by letter and see that
justice is done in the matter.
In Japan the school teacher is held
in greater veneration than ministers OF
the gospel, or those of any other pro-
f~ession. We should at least treat
them fairly.
