a fair amount Of endurance as only
those who can keep the pace are as

DRIVE TEACHERS
oUT'.0F:.S SCHOOLS
Bureau Of Education Declares
Low Salaries Are Responsible.
for Lowering Of Profession.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The most
effective method. of destroying the,
teaching profession is the present pol,
icy of refusing to meet the increased
costs of living, says School Life issued
by the United States bureau Of educa-
ton.
This publication shows that the
United States bureau of labor statis-
tics figures call for $1,000 a year as
the lowest that. single woman can
live in health and decency and that
$3.50 is absolutely necessary for
man, wife and normal family of three
children. :,
"Most of the teachers salaries
schedules recently adopted do not
even meet this minimum requirement
for a single wonan,"< continuel School
Life. and as for meeting the needs
of normal married person with de-
pendents, the schedules so on assum-
ing that none such will come into tho
schools. The mere fact that the cost
Of living has exactly doubled since
1913, and that anything less than
doubling salaries is to make them
lower tnan peIOre, QOeS not seem 10
have penetrated.
IF there is any surer way Of de-
stroying the teaching profession than
by the present method of starving
the teachers, it is not clear what it
is. Men simply will not go into a
profession that forever bars them
from the possibilities Of normal fam
ilv life and a. decent living and as the
opportunities of women grow greater,
increasingly few really capable women
will enter upon teaching"
