From all this 1t may be gathered
that I am no pessimist. Those who

Their minds must meet and solve
the difficult and crucial problems
that will be their inheritance Their
hearts must be so imbued with the
horrors of war and with the poverty
and anguish that inevitably follow in
its wake that they in their time will
enter upon it only as a last resort
in national self defense or in support
of some great principle of humanity.
Never has there been a more ur-
gent need for high minded, great
hearted, splendidly rtained, 100 per
cent American instructors to drive
home the vital lessons that these
times hold. Never has the future of
the nation been so clearly committed
into the hands of the teachers. And
yet thousands of men and women of
ability who would prefer to teach
are Reluctantly leaving their chosen
calling, forced by the hard necessi-
ties of their very existence.
The teachers ask no largess at the
hands of fortune. They enter their
profession for service, not riches.
But they invest years and money in
preparation for their life work and
the knowledge they gain is shared
with others, who themselves use it
to their own profit. Teachers, then,

and their dependents to live deceHtIy

men and thoughtful women who will

portance of this problem We are di-
recting this appeal to them. We
urge them to compare the salaries
of theh teachers with the wages of
those who are doing work of equal

Let each community invest in
schools so that it may thereby in.

in the great period Of rebuilding and
reconstruction that lies before us
Let each community set for it's goal,
so far as it practicable, a minimum
wage of at least $1,000 a year for
the teachers of America. This would
cost the nation perhaps as much as
we spent so gloriously in but one
week of the great war.

moreover, we consider the fact that

JUSTICE FOR THE FOSTER PA

hearted American people who poured
out their riches so prodigally in. re-
Spouse to every patriotic, every char
table appeal, and who accorded such
enthusiastic and liberal support to
every measure and to every group
that helped win the war, should have
neglected to properly encourage and
reward the services of one of the
noblest professions in the field of hui
man activities-a profession that in
lofty ideals, in unselfish principles,
in sacred responsibilities, stands side
by side with the ministry of the gos-
pei itself.
We wish to. bespeak with whatev-
er power and authority we may have
and with such words as may be grant
ed to us, some measure of considers
tion for the foster fathers and moth,
ers of our children-the school teach
ers of the United States of America.
There is no class of workers of which
we demand so much We commit to
their keeping the minds, the bodies
and the very souls of our children
in the tender and formative years
of their lives, and they. receiving
these children, can indeed be said
TO hold in the hollow of their hands
the future of America. We expect
these devoted men and women to
watch over and care for our sons
and daughters as though they were
their very own, to drill them in the
arts and sciences, to train them for
