Making Teaching Efficient and
Patriotic.

A group Of bills relating to education were
presented to the Illinois state legislature dur
ing the present session. They deal with con-
ditions which not confined to Illinois.
Taken together, they aim to make possible the
extended building program contemplated. to
secure adequate pay to teachers. to promote
Ahnericanization in ed &ation and further the
compulsory continuation school plan.
Most people are surprised when they are
told that Illinois is the 10th state in wealth,
the fourth state in the amount of money ex-
pended for education, and that it is the 23rd
state in the amount spent per pupil, ranking
39th in the amount paid to teachers. These
figures are given on high educational author
ity and they certainly indicate that Illinois is
not overpaying its teachers or spending too
much money in educational work.
AS in all other states education has suf-
Tered in Illinois because of the absence of
teachers in war work and the attraction of
much higher pay in other vocations, Yet
many thousands of teachers have. through love
of the work stayed in the profession and in
most such cases there was lack of patriot
ism, in this adherence to the very high duty
of the teachers field of work
The possibility of securing the best educa-
Jional material for the future must depend
largely upon adequacy of pay.
One of the bills to which we have referred
proposes that the state should fix a minimum
