Unifying the
System

While in practically every case
the cities are now paying as much
or more than the miiimums we
have fixed, the conditions which
prevail in all districts not coming
under city rulings are very bad
Mr.. Gilbert says. Inadequate pay
was one of the chief reasons for the
shortage of teachers last year. This
law does not by any means solve
the salary problem, but it begins to.
1T makes the city education
boards adopt set Of bylaws fixing
= salary schedule, which must be
filed with US by next December. 1t
requires that in the rural districts
the 800 increase be paid to all
teachers in addition to the salary
paid in 1918-1919. 1t further aims
at equalizing the country teachers
salaries by requiring that the in
creases become effective this year
and continue annually thereafter.
What ought to prevail is a sys-
tenn of interlocking salary schedules,
so that a teacher who is transferred
from one district to another is en-
titled to the same increase as though
she remained where an increment
was practically assured her. We
cannot expect that yet, however, and
with this first step accomplished the
State Department hopes to realize
its first aiul-that Of regulating a
salary system throughout the state.
The State Department cannot
enforce any part Of the law in con-
nection with the country schools,
and it cannot control the increment
or the adjustment of salaries in the
cases Of teachers employed for
number of years in any of the
schools. The Commissioner of Edu-
cation, however, has a check on the
districts and boards, in his power
to apportion the annual 500 mere
ment to be paid by the state I'm
less schedules and salary adjust
ments are fairly apportioned, &C
cording to the records with the de-
partment, he has a right to with
hold the money from the state Con-
tracts already made this year which

A New Salary
Schedule

Improvements, however, do not
stop with the first lump sum. For
by the amendment a new salary
schedule, to be self determined by
each district or city board, based on
the minimum fixed by the state law,
is to be put into effect by january
/, 1920. And as a first step toward
teachers millennium the clause
inserted governing cities of the
first class is quoted:
"The schedules adopted by the
Board of Education in a city Of one
million inhabitants or more shall not
discriminate between the salaries
and salary increments of members

Teachers to Get 500

By Geraldine H. Murray

SpectQ% Correspondence
Albany, ". Y.
" CHOOL teaching threatens to
become a we'll paid profession
~ in New York State. Since
the passage of the amendment
to the education law by the last Leg
lslature, with its appropriation of
$4,000, 900, state educators and adj
mlnistrators of school affairs have
regarded the problem of good teach
ers in the state as simpler of solu
ton than they did last year, or, in
fact, any year. Contracts a year ago
to fill the teaching stats of either
elementary or high schools in every
part Of the state, of both cities
and rural districts, were almost i'm
possible to fill. Records in the state
department of education show that
many schools we're without the nee
essary number of teachers, while
more than hundred schools had
to be closed at least part of the time.
because the teacher had gone to the
munition factory where she could
earn better pay.
When the amendment was beiro
prepared for submission to the Leg
islature last year a census of school
teachers was taken, and it was found
that the number on the states
teaching force was $4,000. There
fore the S5,3OO,OOO. For that sum,
appropriated to the State Depart
n1ent of Education, is to be divided
into 800 lots and apportioned to
every school in the state, according
to the number of teachers on indi-
vidual stats. New York CITY has
on its rolls in the neighborhood of
$1,000 teachers and will therefore
receive more than S3,O0O,OOO of the
appropriation. The smallest district
in the state will get it's 500 for its
one teacher.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-07-20

teachers ranging from $1,000 to
$3.50 for the first year, first as
sistants beginning with $3.50 and
principals with $4,000.
Efficiency
Recognized
Teachers of more than one
years experience under the law
are entitled only to the minimum
plus the statewide increase Of S1OO.
The state department, however,
strongly advises that efficient SER
vice must be recognized under the
new system.
while this law benefits the cit
les it is also the first step toward
standardizing salaries all over the
state" says Frank B. Gilbert, new
Deputy Commissioner of Educa-
ton Of New York State. Mr.. Gil
bert, with DR.. Thomas Z. Finegan,
former Deputy Commissioner and
newly appointed head Of the De-
partment of Education of Pennsyl-
vania, is the real father of the
amendment. MIR. Gilbert's task will
be largely one of administering and
adjusting the provisions of the new
law to conform with the problems
of the various boards and districts
Of the state. He has already issued

Lee Fohl, manager OF the CIeve-

young catcher in the American League
is being overlooked by critics when
making up their lists Of Bans back

That youngster. Cy Perkins Of the

Just about the sweetest article OF
catching talent that has broken into
our circuit in years
''He uses his brain all the time and
is always full of pep. He'll measure
I'D easily with Al Walters, traded by
the Yanks to the Red SOx.
This Perkins seems to size up
opposing batsmen as il he had beer
playing against them for years. He
has a great throwing arm and gets
the ball down to second as accurately
as the best of them. He was one of

JOHNSTON DENIES
SOUTHPAWS' J|NX

First Baseman Doc Johnston. who
received his second chance in the
American League with the Indians
last summer, claims he can hit south
paw pitching If given the proper op-
portunity.
In the Southern League, where
Johnston made his big reputation
before first joining the Cleveland
team, he hit left or right-handers
with equal ease. But when he came
to the American League he discov.
cred the southpaws in the Johnsoni. n
organization had a bit more stuff.
He had his troubles getting them
safe, and in a short while was taken
out whenever a lcft-hander opposed
Cleveland. He was finally turned
loose, getting a chance with Pitts
burgh and then drifting back to the
minors.
Last season in the American Az
sociation he was the sensation of tie
league. All pitchers looked alike to
him
Four American League clubs were
bidding for him, when Jim Dunn put
over the deal that made him an
Indian.
Johnston went great for a while
against southpaws. but had a cou.
pie Of bad slumps. and every now
and then was derricked when some
left-hander opposed Cleveland
Johnston. contends that IL he ever
gets job on a club. that has 70
other player capable OF holding down
hrst, he will demonstrate he can hit
southpaws consistently.

Georgetown and the Naval

ceived today from Annapolis.
AS Georgetown battles it's an
cient rival, Fordham, on Tues
day, November 4, at New York,
the Hilltoppers will be rather
hard put to oppose such a strong
team as Gil Dobie's on the fol-
lowing Saturday. However, at
least four elevens are expected
to be in uniform at Georgetown
next fall and there may be
plenty of available material for
two such hard contests in one
week.

battle with the champion. He may be
accommodated later in the season,
probably in the summer. Tender is
southpaw with a fair wallop, but
even his greatest admirers in Phila-
delphia wonder how well he could
stand up under Leonard's punish
ment.
Then there is Billy Whalen, the st.
Paul lightweight, in the same stable
with the Gibbons boys. He, too
wants a chance at Leonard His
manager, Eddie Kane, says that Leo
nard will have the time of his young
life beating Whalen, if they ever step
into the ring together.
Richie Mitchell, of Milwaukee, who
competed in the service boxing tour
ney in London, is also in the field
for a chance at the lightweight
crown. There should be no difficulty
for Leonard to keep busy, il he. really
wants to take on all the challengers.
The woods are full of them. Dun
dee is only one, perhaps the most
persistent. but only one.

Apple Lands There.
Up to the time Apple took charge at
Tech the Manuel Trainers had many
different coaches. Several years ago
Jakey Roberts started basketball, and
finally got faculty permission to have
his team represent the school. In
track another student, Monroe Shee-
han, took charge and developed a
first-class team.
In football, Wayne Hart, Haggy
Ellis, Cuppy Farmer, and others took
hand in proceedings over different
years. In baseball Austin Howard
Billy Martin. and others too numer-
Gus to mention, got a crack at the
Tech teams in coaching.
Just year ago Wilbur NJ. Apple
blew in from the West and took
charge of Techs athletic training and
physical development He was con-
fronted with a number of boys, nearly
900, who were more than anxious to
get into the various lines of athletic
activities.
But Tech had no field, no pool, no
gymnasium-nothing but boys and

things going. At the outset he de

Last winter Tech put out a first-class
basketball team. although the BOYS
practiced at Epiphany gym and on
the "Y" floor. The second team was
given games and the first and second
year kids were offered a chance to
play.
Techs track team took a sudden
boom, and Apple succeeded in putting
out by spring one OF the best all
around teams ever developed here. The
