The Pay of Teachers In

that period is impossible on the present
basis.

lows; rent. - per cent; clothing, 20 per,
cent fuel, 10 per cent. food, Il per cent
As everyone knows. II has never been
higher.
A teacher receives Sb0 per month min
imum wage and 500 per month maxi
mum wage while she is at work. but is
forced to be idle twelve weeks in the
year without salary
Out Of this she must also pay 10 per
cent Of her pay into the teachers pension
fund.
Without subtracting the 10 per cent,
this gives the teacher at $50 the magnifi-
cent average Of S3S.0S per month upon
which to live turnout the year, and at the
maximum (reached only after 10 years
service) $3.50.
In New York. teachers receive half
their pay during July and August which
would seem TO be the least that city
could consistently do for It's loyal work
ers, when enforcing their idleness.
Our teachers must be we'll housed,
comfortably fed, nicely dressed in order
10 maintain that prosperous healthy,
happy appearance which Is insisted upon
for the good of the children.
If she is sick. she must pay Substi-
tute and the substitute 5 salary has been
raised, tho the teachers has not

until now she not only cares for the men
tai but the physical well-being OF the
child.
She is expected TO improve her mind
with concerts, lectures, reading. travel,
all of which is recorded and becomes a
dig factor in her advancement.
A raise of salary of 500 per year
1883 per month"; is to go into effect
next September. This is small step and
the first small step in the right direction
in over seven years but it is not gong
to help out thru July and August.
The finance committee of the board of
education has passed favorably upon a
raise for clerks and bookkeepers Of the
board The budget will be presented to
the board of estimates and probably will
be approved But why the teachers of
the city, those who are really me foun-
tain head of the whole educational sys-
tenn, should be left to shift for them
selves and subsist on a pittance, while
minor individuals are considered, would
be a mystery if it were not so LUMINOSITY
clear
The taxpayers Of Detroit rarely pro-
test against their money going for a
righteous cause.
A large number of them are vitally in
terested in these teachers thru ties Of
blood or friendship. The cause OF this
injustice must lie elsewhere.
Let the women get the vote in Michi-
gan and all this will be speedily changed
Their indirect influence" upon the bal
lot is a negligible quantity, so negligible
that it is not even considered.
Their direct influence would be speedily
felt.
Unfortunately the schools are not d.
vorced from politics, as the fierce battle
