WOMEN TEACHERS FIX
HIGHER PAY SCALE
The Interborough Association
Adopts Schedule Of Raises
to Be Urged.
OUTLOOK REPORTED GOOD

The PETERBOROUGH Association of Women
Teachers held a meeting I'm the Metropoli-
tan Building yesterday and took action
In regard to getting another raise in the
pay OF the women teachers OF the public
schools. The meeting adopted a tenta-
tive schedule of salaries that had been
prepared by n committee and which was
read by Miss Helen MceKon.
on this schedule the women teachers
will begin on an annual salary OF $500
a year instead OF $3.50, as at present.
The maximum pay Is to be obtained after
twelve years instead of fifteen, as at
present. and will vary from S1.S2O to
So 400 a year. according TO the compost
ton of the class. The present maximum
is $1,000
1t was explained at the meeting that
there was a bright outlook for the pro-
posed increase. The Board OF Educati ton
had promised to grant any reasons bls
increase OF pay on direct application from
the women teachers II they would refrain
from going To Albany during the last
session of the Legislature to get manda-
tory legislation in their favor.
Miss Grace g. Strachan, district super
intendent. who presided. said that the
association would push the demand for
greater pay with all possible vigor She
said that by organizing mixed classes of
boys and girls in the schools tho city
would save money in salaries
Miss Lena Gay-nor. teacher, said she
was opposed to mixed classes, ana II was
a difficult matter to handle boys and
girls together. ON the score OF morality
she thought boys and girls should be
kept apart.
81 don't agree with you about the boys
and girls" said the chairwoman, "I have
been teaching for twenty zone years and
have been district superintendent for
fifteen years with $4,000 pupils under my
care at all times, and ! think IL most
important thing to consider the morality
OF the boys and girls. think the mix
ing Of the sexes in school Is good for
morality.
"A new life Is beginning for the female
sex. The trouble with many Of tho
women teachers II that they travel too
much with their own sex. | prefer going
with another woman's brother to my own.
7 want to say from my observation IN
Brooklyn that there il less danger to the
girls from boy classmates among the poor
than among the well TO do"
The meeting approved the Palmer bill
before Congress which would prohibit boys
under 10 years from working in mines
and quarrieS.
A resolution was passed calling upon
the city authorities to take speedy action
to help the pension fund OF the teachers
which now has deficit OF $4,000.

VOTES FOR WOMEN
FAILS BY $4,000
IN NEW JERSEY

Trenton, ". j., Oct. 20.---Votes for
women in New Jersey went down to
a crushing defeat in yesterdays cleo
tion by approximately $4,000 major
ity. Practically complete returns
early today indicated this number,
while in Essex county alone, where
Newark is located, the majority
against 1t was $4,000.
Though its foremost citizen, Wood
row Wilson, announced himself for
suffrage, the cause lost in every big
city and in nearly every town. The
defeat was landslide.
Suffrage leaders, however, refused
to be disheartened today, and started
plans to put legislative candidates on
record on a promise to permit women
to vote next spring for presidential
electors. Following up the persistent
campaigning which marked the
amendment fight, the women in the
next two weeks will go after every
candidate.
Returns from Jersey City indicated
that the amendment failed by 1000
majority. Even President Wilson's
Princeton district voted against the
proposal, with a majority OF 1872. His
own borough went more than two to
one against 1t.
That the amendment carried only
in Ocean county was indicated today.
There the early returns showed 210
majority, but this may be overturned
by more complete returns.
