The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1919-08-05

| That school teachers are under
paid is an old story, grown tiresome
from repetition. But here are some
up date facts, submitted by the
National Association, which give
the subject new freshness and in
terest. Teaching salaries have real
ly been rising--they have risen, in
the three years from 1915 to 1918,
from an average stipend Of S543 to
$3.50. Let no taxpayer, however,
plume himself unduly on this fact.
The advance only meets about one
seventh Of the current advance in
living expenses, leaving the teacher
far worse off than before.
The most striking thing in the re-
port is a comparison of the teach
er's pay with that of other oecupa-
tons. The poorest-paid railroad
worker, the section hand, gets twice
as much as the average teacher.
Skilled railroad men get five and six
times as much. Most hod carriers
get so to 100 per cent more than
teachers. Bakers, carpenters, and
GLACIERS get twice as much. Black
smiths, machinists, fathers and wire
men get two and one-half times as
much. Plumbers, brickiayers and
structural iron workers get three
times as much.
The ordinary shipyard worker is
paid S1,411 a year, to the teachers
$3.50. And surely her work is no
less important and difficult than his
she is shaping the material that
goes to the making of that. supreme
product, the ship of state.
And yet, in every community in
the land, there are still taxpayers
who kick whenever anyone suggests
raising the teachers pay.-Ex.
Certainly there is no incentive for
the training of men and women to
the high and responsible calling of
pedagogy. Let it be remembered
that it is the school teachers more
than all others that mold the char
acters and lay the basal structure
for men and women that are worth
while. They should have increased
pay, not the promise, but an imme-
date enactment that would encour-
age higher and more extended edu-
cation.
