INCREASING TEACHERS PAY.


The letter of State Commissioner
IIillegas TO school superintendent pub
hshed in yesterday 5 Reformer emphasi-
yes the seriousness of conditions in Yer.
mont and undoubtedly will begin an era
of increased salaries for school teach
ers and instructors Evidently the
head of the educational department re.
sorts to this method to insure a suf-
ficient teaching force for the public
schools of the state. He must also real
ize that such general and liberal in
crease in compensation will greatly in
crease the expenses of schools, prob
ably the largest expense of any depart
ment of the state government.
School teaching has never command
ed large salaries, perhaps never viii,
but there are some things to be con
sidered Fefore increasing the expenses
of this department of government 1t
is true that during the war better pay
ing positions have been offered to
school teachers OF all classes. Some Of
the younger men have been called to
military service and to fill positions
created by war work. Women teachers
have been much in demand for office
positions in Washington, positions ere
ated- by the war and open during the
continuance of the war. These cohdi
tions have created a serious shortage ir
the teaching force, n shortage thai
probably is in its most acute stage to
day
The government no longer is calling
for young men to fight or for additions
women for Washington offices. 1t il
reasonable to expect that within TIL
next few months hundreds of thousand
of young men and women who hav,
been employed by the government vii
be discharged from such service. The,
must turn to the occupations for which
they have been trained for future en-
ployment because the employers of tn
country are no longer forced to emplo,
unframed and unfit. 1t might be wis
for school authorities to wait for thi
change rather than swell the expens
column by paying war time salaries
Industry cannot continue war salarie
or wages and our educational author
tiles should not assume them ut thi
time.
Furthermore, good pay does not in
sure good teachers. There was a tim
thirty and forty years ago when al
young girls were ambitious TO "get
school to teach because. they coul
earn more money teaching than in an
other way and many misfit got int
the school room through the ''pull" o
a friend. 1t is possible that too libei
al increase in salaries at this time ma
revive the misft" to a greater eY
tent than it viii competent instructor!
While the need of more salary fo
teachers is recognized, we feel it is u
inopportune time to grant increase
The expenses of government are at th
maximum and taxes are increased eac
year to meet them. Unusual expense
, connected whit the war must be ms
now and the teachers should wait III
til the state and towns are a little be
ter prepared to take care OF increase
expenses before demanding more pa
1t will be good business for the d,
partment of education TO treat the d,
: mands of teachers as business prop
sition and not try to carry war tin
compensation into the peace period "
r are entering.
