Teachers Are Poorly Paid.
The National Education assUcia-
ton, cooperating with the federal
bureau Of education, has through
"a questionable, obtained addi-
tional information with respect to
the shortage of schoolteachers and
the :hGGcqlacy of teachers salaries.
Through blanks ssnt to county and
city superintendent ia various
places and sections Of the country in
formation was sought relative to the
number of teachers leaving during the
school year 191S-1919, schedules of
salaries in operation, standards OF
preparation set, and cost of living.
AT the same time blank was sent to
Individual teachers to secure informa-
ton in greater detail on the same
items. -Four hundred and twenty-three
city superintendent, representing all
parts of the country, sent in replies,
while filled-in blanks were received
from $4,000 individual teachers.
The returns show that for the
school year of 191S-1919, the average
salary for the country for elementary
teachers was $3.50; for intermediate
teachers, 1851, and for high school
teachers. $1,224. The annual average
salary for all teachers was SOFT. Ac-
cording to a geographical grouping
made, the lowest salaries are paid in
the Southern states, While the cities
of the extreme West pay the highest
salaries. The minimum salary in 50
per cent Of the cities reporting is be-
low $500, and the maximum salary is
below that amount in 81 per cent or
the cities reporting.
lnadequacv of Salaries Shown.
The inadequacy of the salaries paid
is revealed in the showing that sc per
cent of the teachers resigning during
the period under consideration re-
ceived less than the medium salaries
for Their respective groups. The
QUESTIONABLE brought out the infor-
nation that only one teacher in FIVE
has any additional income and for
this one-fifth the medium amount is
less than $1C0. 1t was also shown
that 46 per cent of the elementary
teachers, 49 per cent of the internedi-
ate and ~ per cent of the high-school
teachers have other persons depend
ent on them for support, either wholly
or in part, and that individual teach
ers support more dependents in large
cities than in small towns.
Much stress is laid on the showing
that men and women in lines of work
that do not require any particular
training are much better paid than
teachers. For instance, comparison
is made between the salaries paid
teachers and the wages paid bakers
and others in the cities of Cleveland
and Chicago. 1t is shown that in each
of these cities a head baker receives
$500 more year than an elementary
schoolteacher of the same district;
blacksmiths $500 more a year, and
machinists 81 ,33S more a year.
