School Teaching Not
Paid Like Other Work

At the regular meating Of the
Superintendents' and Principals
Association last Friday and Satur-
day in Denver, the most discussed
problem was teacher salaries.
The fact that the cost of living
has increased in Colorado since
1915 75S on a conservative esti-
mate, and that teachers salaries
on the whole have not increased
as much as 25*, has caused large
numbers of the best teachers to
leave the profession. Every speak
er, no matter what his topic, touch
ed upon teachers salaries.
The interest was centered upon
this point in the talks made by
Miss Sallie Hill of the Denver
schools and Supt Greene of Idaho
Springs. Miss Hill said she was
tired Of sitting in the gallery every
time Grand Opera came to town.
and was hoping the time would
come when she didn't have to
wash and iron on Saturdays. She
intimated that she is going to stop
talking on the question. however,
because everyone agrees with her
and smiles, but the teachers go
right on getting the same low
salaries. If they do get raise the
landlady always hears of it first
and puts up the cost of board and
room accordingly.
Supt. Greene suggested that
school people make more use Of
educational statistics in the con.
duct of schol business. One board
of education raises salaries and
think they have made record in
giving teachers good wage, only
to find, upon investigation that
school boards all over the state
and nation have recognized the
need more keenly than they and
dealt with the problem more salts
factorily. When we learn that
grade teachers are beginning their
work in Colorado Springs and
Cheyenne, as well numerous other
towns, at wages of $1O5O a year,
when last year $76O was consider
ed high, we have to revise all our
notions. When we feel that We
have done wonders to raise man
to $1,000 q year, we suddenly hear
that Longmont is starting men
teachers, not principals or super
intendents, but teachers, at $170O.
Mrs. Bradford has made long
step forward in securing the ser.
viceslof an Educational Statistician,
who will now collect all interest
ing data and publish it. The
school district from now on that
persists in paying low wage will
find it impossible to find good
teachers. i
1t was suggested also that we
use better business methods in
planning the educational manage
ment of the future. The average
board of education never looks
ahead of the current year and too
often does not review the past for

proposed that the exact facts be discoV-
cred to the end that the needs of each
community and region may be appraised
and the whole task of the church put in
clear light and due proportion.
?. A United Budget: On the basis of
the world survey it is proposed that a
joint budget be made every item Of
which shall approve itself to the judg-
ment of the several mission boards, 50
far as it relates to the work of each
board, and have the approval of a strong
qterdenomination committee aided by ex-
perts in the various fields covered, this
committee to review and harmonic the
details, While this budget will be for
one year, it will take account of needs
for five years.

given number CT days at some period in
1920 it is proposed that the 50,0OO, 900 peo-
pie eonstitutin tghe evangelical constitu-
ency OF America be asked, community by
community to underHrite the united bud

pledges to be r1ade week by week through
customary chufch channels. There will be
a united treasury to care for undesignated
Sits. Many have asked what the total
OF the anticipated united budget will be.
Not even an estimate can now be made.

with It's painstaking examination of every
section of the field and it's balancing of
obligations, can figure be named.
8. A united programme of work 1t IS
proposed that this plan shall carry the
steadily rgowing cooperation of recent
yearsh in the mission field on to the point
of the most complete coordination which
the conditions OF our separate organiza-
tons permit. Funds secured will be ex-
pended with detailed regard to the re-
quirements of fraternal cooperation.
THE FIRST STEP TAKEN
Although it hao been the general desire
of the Fortestant churches for some COM
prehensive programme of cooperation
the first definite official action looking
toward practical plan was taken by the
executive conference of forcing mission

BUILD WITH IDEA OF BEAUTY

An earnest plea for more beauty In
building is submitted by a writer In
the magazine Touchstone. who says
In part:
Building home should be APP
preached with reverence as well as
joyous enthusiasm. There is no adj
venture In life more fraught with ro-
nance than the creating OF a home.
We are apt To turn 10 the past for
precedent In architectural styles.
whereas we should concern ourselves
chiefly with the honest expression OF
our needs and surroundings.
Love Of beauty was almost re-
liglon with the Greeks. To build an
ugly thing was mlsdemeanor punish
able with ostracism. our country
would be much more delightful and
much more agreeable place TO live In
II our home builders were guided by
wise architects who took as much
thought for beauty as they do for
economy and profit. Every home In
an investment. and a beautiful home
returns far more interest on the
money expended than does an ugly
one.
"Would II not be well for us. now
that we are facing an era OF home
building such as the world has seldom
known, TO pause little and approach
our task with greater carefulnessf
We should remember that we are
building for the future as well as for
present delight and that our descend
ants may turn to our work with re-
spect. as we look into the past and
bow before the genius Of the ancient
