the sick and sorrow with the suffer-
ing rar more than the teacher Gun

OF ana insist upon the maintenance
or inspecting physicians and visiting
nurses in our schools.
Bigger Salaries for Teachers.
This cannot be accomplished by the
lalty alone. The school teachers
should be better educated on this vital
subject. The school patrons depart
ment must demand that the teachers
of the country shall be better trained
concerning the laws Of hygiene and
sanitation. But when II Is officially
stated that the average teacher In
the majority of our states receives
between $500 and 5000 annual salary
how can we expect or demand that
the efficient, well-educated women
shall turn from salaries twice the
size OF this to teach our children, If
we remain Indifferent to their vel
fare? So the agitation for better
salaries Is part of the work Of this
new organization.
Every man and woman should have
some definite means Of earning live
lhood, for independence is neces
sary part Of true democracy. There
fore these five nationwide organiza-
tons are interesting themselves in
vocational training.
But in order that 1t may not be at
the sacrifice of the broader humani-
ties that general culture brings and
the beauty and -attractiveness which
1t lends to life they are urging an
advance Of at least two years In the
compulsory school life of our children !;
In other words, that the children shall
! remain in school until sixteen years
of age instead of being permitted in
their immaturIty and ignorance to
leave school to accept poor wages and
handicapped lives at the age of four
teen. In some states they are at.
tempting TO advance the school age
to eighteen; in others the lengthening
of the school term is urged Why
should three months Of child's time
he spent In idleness simply because
in the early days our rural popuia-
tion needed the help of all hands on
the farm during the summer months
The temptation In families where
financial stress is felt Is Of course to
ignore the future rights of the child
and to put him to work as soon as
the law allows. Therefore these COM
munty mothers are also urging that
compulsory laws shall be more thor.
