Teacher Distinctly Favored Member
 Of Society, Says Miss Francis Perkins Secretary of Committee Safety New York Declares Instructor in Schools Is Capable of More Work and
 Still Be Free from Burden of Overvork
(By Henrietta Rodman In New York
 ,." Tribune.) Nt

(By Henrietta Rodman in New York
 @ Tribune.) '.&
 "You were teacher" began Con troller Prendergast. Were you ex- hausted by working five hours a day. five days week and forty weeks a year, or were you able to teach in the summer schools and the evening schools for extra pay?'-
 'sometimes l was" admitted, land sometimes I wasn't. It de- pended on the conditions under which the teaching was done. When II was left relatively free to work out my own ideas I was interested in my work and didn't want to stop, but when I was forced to follow a dull routine I was tired and nervous, and ready to become hysterical if I was asked to do extra work
 Very we'll" agreed the controller. 'If the conditions under which the the teachers are working are un- wholesome, mentally or physically, they should be changed. Of course, tt's necessary for efficiency that con- ditions should be right--that teachers should not feel themselves restricted and nagged.
 Repression Old-fasnioned.
 
 we don't want the old-fashioned discipline of repression. That's been the trouble with the public schools all along. I suffered from it when I was a boy.
 Teachers as we'll as pupils should have all the freedom possible to work along right lines. Or course they will be nervous and worried if every minute detail of the days work is planned and supervised
 "They are," I treasured MT. Pen dergast Every step is indicated by the curriculum or the district superin- tendent or the principal They're all honest. intelligent people, devoted to the public interest. but they're all driven by tho curricuium
 "The teachers have to drive the children, the principals have to drive the teachers, the superinrendents have to drive the principals in the schools that we've built
 Must Change Conditions. "Then we must change the con- ditions," repeated MT. Preoergast en- phaticaly. "If the teachers feel themselves driven, if they're nervous and worried under conditions as they are, those conditions are wrong for five hours a day They should not exist at all. "But do you honestly believe that the conditions of teaching are ,neces- sarily harder than those Tn any other occupation in which women are em- rloyed? ?" he asked. -.- No" I said, 1T don't
 TT believe that if a man or woman loves the work and is naturally gifted and we'll trained for teaching, the same hours will be good for him that are good for people in otner employ r,ents. I, for one, do not want to belong to a. favored clas and I don't believe that other teachers want more Tor themselves than they want for

others The question is whether we should accept for ourselves less than we think that others ought to have" H What do you think would be a fair amount of service for the city to ask from the teachers, consider that their salaries are paid by the public, and that most of the public earn less than they pay the teachers 9" MT. Prendergast wanted to know.
 Work as People Do.
 T .don't want to give one minute more of the kind of service that is required from most of Us now" I re- piled. But if teachers can work as people work in other professions, as creative artists, they'll give the hours that such persons give.
 As long as people are driven by threats and marks they'll do no more than the law requires and will resist every suggestion to change the law" Corroborating Controller Prender- gasts ideas and speaking from her experience as a school teacher and a social worker, Miss Frances Perkins feels that the teacher is a distinctly favored member of society. Yet it was Miss Perkins who, through the Con- sumers' league, reduced the working hours of factory women from sixty to [ fifty-four a week. Miss Perkins is now secretary of the Committee on Safety, and through her varied experiences comes in contact with women workers in all walks of life.
 Capable of More Work,
 T have felt, especially since I have entered social work. that the teacher lI = ,l and can still be free from the burden of overwork. Yet no one feels more strongly than I the uneconomc aspect of the overwhelming of the human being
 But the teacher has far moro time at her disposal than is necessary. It is said that the nervous strain which she must undergo is excep- tional But l do not feel that this is so. The strain on her nervous sys- tenn and on her personality is not greater than that which many pro- fessionals are forced to endure-cer- tainly not more than that on a doc tor, or more than on a social worker who is forced to see and impress him. self forcibly upon people all day long. And the social worker has only ono months S vacation.
 Any woman who works becomes tired. And any man does. A phy- sician does not refuse to see a pa tient because he feels tired, nor does the typist refuse to take dictation at the end of a hard days work. When a woman undertakes the care of a child she must not throw down her job merely because she is tired.
 Work in Spite of Wearincss.
 Tt is part of the test, and part of the unpleasantness, and even part of the pleasure thar we must all work and keep up in spite of wear mess
 Should you cut short the summer

The Solidarity of Our Nation.
From the Newark Sta-

From the Newark star.
1t will be recalled with some amuse-
ment now that in 1898, when war with
Spain was impending, there were news
papers in Europe and politicians in
Spain who confidently looked for an
uprising in the south against the United
States government as soon RS war
should be declared, and they were
dumfounded when Fitzhugh Lee and
other old Confederate commanders took
commissions in the army. while thou
sands of southern men applied for en-
listment The south was as enthusiast
tic over the war as the north.
That dIspel1ed the delusion of a sec
tional and revengeful south. 1t should
have enlightened our badly misinformed
European critics as to the loyalty of all
other elements Of our population in a
crisis such as the European war might
precipitate. Indeed, this experience
bids fair to be the greatest and hap
piest test of the loyalty and patriotism
of the American people, native and for
eign born, that the nation could be sub
jected to- It will be a supreme vindi-
ca tion of the faith of all American citi-
zens in their national institutions and a
guaranty of the solidarity OF the nation
for all future time.
