Ter it and get it's bill passed. The
bill provides for pensions to OLD
teachers upon retirement, the money
to come partly from small assess
ments on the teachers themselves.
and partly from an increased fee for
teachers certificates.
The teachers and most OF the
school boards are for the pension
system for teachers. saying that sala7
ries paid prevent any saving of
enough to keep the teacher after
she gets too old no teach. But there
seems to be opposition toNthe plan in
high quarters.
Governor Harding Opposes It.
While none of the legislators have
thus far come out for a definite stand
on the question of pensions for
teachers Governor w. l.. Harding
has made it plain that he is opposed
TO the pension system. Present indi-
cations are that the teachers pen
sion bill will have to make it's jour-
ney through the session in tank
for some rocky road travel is in sight.
Governor Harding reiterated that a
pensioner was nothing more than a
slave. In order to get the benefit of
pension system the teacher will
have to continue in the service for a
certain period. According to the gov
error a teacher will then hold on to
her job merely to get the pension.
The teacher is thus tied to "a system,
Harding added.
Says Pay Better Salaries.
sand there is another thing" said
Harding. "The pension would be bad
for the pupils. If "a teacher is
shackled her pupils will naturally be
cringing. On the other hand. free
teachers pupils would get along bet
ter."
While the pension bill will have a
rough road. it is almost certain there
will be some legislation to give the
teachers a better chance. The teach
ers are not opposed to increased
wages. of course, land will ask for a
minimum wage of $1,000 annually.
Even minimum wage law wouldn't
take care of teachers who have spent
the greater part of their lives in UNI
derpaid positions.
Governor Harding thinks the solu-
ton of the problem is 10 pay the
teachers an adequate yearly salary.
He would also give the instructors a
months vacation avery year.
