SOfCWT1RnE OF S51SlJOnE SCHOOL, RIAOGS@
port spoke on the benefit that the
pension would bring to the schools and
pupils through increased etheiency.
etc.
Cost of Pensions.
Mr.. Gortwright said that Connect
cut spends an average Of s$S6.42 q year
for the education Of each child while
$4s Is and New Jersey 1925. The cost
of pensions in this state. If applied to
all teachers now eligible, would, he
estimated, add only IS cents a year
to the cost OF educating each child, or
a total of $6e, 900, bringing the total
states. He said that his figures were
based on the retirement OF 22O teach
ey,s but that as a. matter OF fact only
about 48 would retire. 81
E Others who spoke In favor gef the
bill were LIS. Robertson of this city,
intendent of schools Gibbs Of Meriden
and Representative Tyler d. Davidson
Of Bethany.
Opposition
e T. l. Henderson thought that the
pension system wot11d be unwise as it
would work a hardship upon poor PEG
pie He said that If teachers we're
unable to get money enough By teach
ing they should take up q. different
kind of work.
Henry Fletcher Of the Enfield school
COMMITTEES thought that If teachers got
less money than housekeepers and
were sdfssatfs6ed they ought to become
hos1sekeeperA He IA 81 nuatea thaEs the
teachers OF the state were trying to
get special legislation to which they
were not entitled through the strength
of the statewide organization to which
they Belonged. In the next breath he
said he did not think the teachers
wanted the pensions as they had not
turned out in force at the hearing He
quoted the constitution to show that
no class of people ought to get special
benefits and said no pensions should
be voted except to all people in the
state alike.
Pension Legislators.
Representative r. NJ. Griswold Of
Berlin said that he was the father of
a teacher who wished it understood
that she did not wish to be placed on
the same footing as an INDECENT, a
pauper or Civil war veteran. He
thought that il teachers were pen
stoned. county doctors, farmers, legis-
Iators and others should be pensioned
! Superintendent Of Schools Gibbs Of
Meriden objected to this argument on
