TEACHERS PENSIONS
Continued from First Page.)

old teachers. None Of US want TO do
| this thing, yet we all realize that many
| or the teachers OF advanced age are
not able TO do justice 10 the pupils
; entrusted 10 them. In the history OF
the Wheeling board Of education we
have had many cases oil this kind.
/ We have some now. The members of
! the board are ordinary human beings,
and it is with great difficulty that they
bring themselves TO diSplace old teach
ers who have been in service many
years, and who have not acquired q
competence. The pension plan will
solve this problem. Under the plan
we will automatically retire every
teacher reaching the age of si1ty-fve.
There will be no question of discrim.
ination, and there will be none of the
unpleaSantneSS and hard feeling which
has always resulted from efforts 10
retire teachers Of advanced age. The
plan will make for efficiency. in the
school system. and will give US a
/ higher grade OF teachers, and a greater
latitued in our selection. AT the same
time it will undoubtedly prove attrac.
tive 10 teachers themselves. The pay
Of the average school teacher is not
high Probably in no other line of
work is the same amount of education,
training and culture expended for so
little cash return. About all the aver
age teacher gets is living. and if any
special charges occur, there is not
much chance Of laying anything aside
or saving any. The pension fund in
Sures against poverty in old age.
In Other Cities.
The experience OF other cities in
dicates that the pension idea is prac-
teal and beneficial. In fact. is coming
into general state use. For instance,
the states of Connecticut, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York,
Rhode Island and Virginia have all
adopted the idea. and in addition
thereto a large number Of cities in
other States have provided for their
own pension organization. San Fran.
cisco. Chicago, New Orleans. Balti-
more, Detroit. Minneapolis, St. Paul.
st. Louis. Omaha and many other
leities have created pension systems
for the benefit of their aged teachers.
THE rate Of the pension varies in
places. but the average is from 5000
TO $500 per year. In some of these
cities and states the teachers do not
contribute TO the fund at all. In
others they contribute about as we
have provided in our plan. Our plan
is not a copy of the plan Of any par.
ticular city. but is a modification
which we think adapted to our city.
"Of course there is some objection
to the general theory Of pensions. |
am not sure that anything which tends
to remove from employees the neces-
sity for thrift and economy is entirely
good. The public school problems are
Of such a peculiar character. and
especially problems that arise from
dealing with teachers who have been
lin service many years are so delicate
; that it seems TO me the pension system
and compulsory retirement at fixed
age is the cure"
