BETTER PAY FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS

A minimum average salary for
teachers of 81, 500 is urged by DR.. P. P.
Claxton, United States commissioner
of education. Doctor Claxton says:
IF is only by very large increases in
pay of teachers that we may hope to
improve our schools appreciably. While
the cost of living has increased ap-
proximately so per cent, salaries of
teachers have increased only about u
per cent. The purchasing power is,
therefore, only about 63 per cent of
what It was four years ago. Many of
the better teachers are leaving the
schools. Students now entering the
normal schools are not OF as good
quality. Enrolment is also smaller.
"The only remedy is larger pay
for teachers. n school boards, legis-
lators, and county and city councils
