POORLY PAID TEACHERS

The teachers are probably the most
poorly paid this season of any class
of American workers. Thousands OF
able young instructors and profes-
sors have abandoned the schools and
colleges, and gone into business pur-
suits; and many women teachers
have found other occupations. Col
leges have been making the most
strenuous efforts to find means with
which to increase the salaries OF
their corps of instructors. Harvard
University, for example, has organ
lied a campaign for an immediate
sum of s15,000,0e0 as fresh endow-
ment, the income of which is to be
applied chiefly to an increase in the
pay of teachers.
Temporarily the shortage of bet
ter teachers for public schools will
be to the advantage of the unframed
and immature, especially in small
towns and country districts. The
larger school systems will, even more
than heretofore, offer inducements to
the good teachers from the country
At least, school-keeping will be shak-
en- out of some old ruts. 1t is to be
hoped that the resulting situation
may stimulate the movement for con-
solidating rural schools, and for the
adoption of a deliberate policy on the
part of State government for the
maintenance of rural life. Country
children should be as we'll instructed
as those of the larger towns and cit
ies One of the results of the short
age Of teachers, furthermore, may
he the revival of conscious and de-
liberate educational effort in the
home. Where the school teachers are
young girls without professional
training, who engage in the work as
a temporary make shift, it is not
wise to rely too entirely upon schools
for educating children. Sharp dis
tinction should be made between pro-
fessional teachers of character, ex-
perience and proved success, and
those of the casual kind. The profess
sional teacher should be we'll paid,
and should be restored to that posi-
ton of honor and Influence in the
community that belonged to the
schoolmaster of an earlier day
