TEACHERS AND PREACHERS

Every citizen understands the i'm.
portance Of having capable teachers
and preachers. aad their power for
good in any community is too well
known to be debated here. Everyone
admits that the future of this com
munity, the future Of this country,
depends upon the ability Of our teach.
ers and preachers.
And yet the fact remains that
neither the preacher nor the teacher
is paid living wages They are at
this time paid less than the worker
in the ditch or the hOd-Carrier, and
the result is that people are refusing
to go ahead teaching and preaching.
There is a shortage of teachers and
preachers all over the country and
young men and women are refusing
to prepare themselves for these pro
fessions because there is no prospect
of salaries in keeping with the labors
performed
Let's get down to plain, common
sense and do something else than
talk about it. Let's inform the leg
islature and the school boards that
money must be forthcoming to pay
the teacher and the preacher living
wages. Let's notify the members OF
every congregation in the state that
they have no right to expect their
minister to serve them at starvation
wages. Let's show the members OF
these two great and honorable profes
sions that we appreciate their value
to the community in particular and
the world in general
let's get over the old belief that it
is possible to hire good teachers at
bargain prices or to get to Heaven
without the aid of a minister.
