The School in Danger.

American schools are in danger of
grave depreciation unless the American
people face the school problem square
ly, as they have faced every other prob
lem that has confronted them. The
schools are suffering from the two all.
absorbing problems Of the day--the war
and high cost of living.
Wages and salaries in almost every
other vocation have risen pretty much in
keeping with the cost of living. Still the
teachers grind on at practically the same
old starvation wages.
If the harm done were only in forcing
a number of people to live on inadequate
wages, the matter would not be very Sc
rious. But the harm does not stop here
The impossibility of obtaining living
salaries is inevitably forcing the ambi.
tiOus man or woman out of the profes-
sion and into some other calling that
is more generous.
The natural result must be the filing
of the schools with lot of second rate
teachers, boys and girls who regard the
school room as merely a stop-gap be-
tween their own school days and pro-
fession, nice boys and nice girls, grant
you, but lacking much of being com
petent instructors. The only possible re-
suit of this condition must be grievous
neglect of the youth of the land.
And just at this crisis this country
can not afford to neglect her children.
America has had too hard struggle to
reach her present intellectual plane to
afford to yield one fraction OF the prog
ress she has made. We have made too
many sacrifices in the name of educa-
tion and culture and intellectual and
moral uplift to be willing to take one
backward step. We must go on, in JUS
tice to future generations, in justice to
the ideals that have inspired us.
Already the complaint comes from
many sections of the country that num-
bers of the more competent teachers,
disguised with the meager salaries, are
leaving the school room for more lucra-
tive callings, Once out, and this talent
is forever lost to the schools, because
the channels of business will quickly
and eagerly absorb them.
There is but one remedy, and that is
for the people to look the situation
squarely in the face, and be willing to
levy taxes for school purposes that
shall put the teaching profession np and
abreast the other professions. More, per-
haps, than on any other class is the flu
ture Of this country dependent upon the
faithful work of her pedagogues. We
must suit the reward to the magnitude
