TEACHERS RETIREMENT FUND.

TEACHERS' HETIREMENT FUND.
Many educators and other students
of social economy now believe that
the systematic provision of retire.
ment allowances for superannuated
otherwise incapacitated teachers will
operate in a variety of ways toward
making teaching a more attractive
and a more serviceable calling.
Experience shows that no public
employment will r%esolutely dismiss
faithful servants who have been in.
capacitated, it these persons have nc
resources to fall back upon. In no
other field, probably, is it so hard,
as it is in the public school service
to find minor positions which aged
and broken workers can take up.
An object contemplated in a teach.
ers' retirement system is to give to
those still In the active period Of
their service a sense of security, and
opportunity for undivided attention
to the calls of the profession. Teach
ers in general, and especially those
most capable of single-minded inter-
est in the service, are, for Temporal
mental and other reasons, at a dis.
advantage in making investments, ex-
cept as yield lowest returns. There
can be little doubt that society will
gain by any successful attempt to
render the teacher more secure as to
her future, and less ~preoccupied with
the worry of business affairs during
active service.
Retirement allowances are in a
sense deferred payments for service
which justify themselves as a wise
business investment on the part of the
state. Annuities holding the beneti-
ciary longer in the service would en-
sure a more permanent staff of teach.
ers and tend to increase the length
of the tenure of employment.
Ten complete state systems for
teachers retirement are now in ex.
istence. Campaigns are now under
way looking toward the passage Of
laws at the present or coming ses.
sions of the legislatures in six more
states. Already more than 80 per
cent of the teaching force of the pub.
lie schools of the United States have
the opportunity to protect them
selves.
Charles A. Prosser, Secretary Ma.
tioaal Society for the Promotion of
Industrial Education says: "The prog.
ress which the movement has made
would seem to indicate that the Am.
erican people are committed to the
idea"
Teachers annuities and retirement
allowances supported wholly or part.

during the last quarter of a century.
All the states of the German Empire,

Great Britain, pay annuities to teach.
ers of elementary schools. All Of
these countries, with the addition of
Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Russia,
provide pensions Of one kind or an
other for teachers of secondary edu-
cation.
Briefly, in what specific ways may
we expect the operation of a retire
ment system to improve the efficiency
of the teachers? BY attracting and
holding more desirable men and WON.

and founder Of Holly. and al.
though silent on the subject for
years, has finally decided to 'fess
up, now that the town has made
such rapid strides as a town of

air of triumph. II came there 80 years

there then but q depot, not over lOxl2

"The winter Of 1885," he says,
'was very severe winter, and many
persons and hundreds of head OF cattle
were frozen to death in that section. The
snow in eastern Colorado and western
Kansas was from two to three feet deep
on the average, but the judge was snuely
ensconced in his dusous, and suffered
nothing except the loss of dignity, which
never rested very heavily on his shoulders.
