amounts to $562.50 a year. The
average teacher, therefore, receives
Sl5750 less than the above men
toned truck driver.
The banks pay for such clerical
work as any teacher with a little
practice might do, from $1,000 to
$4,000.
Expert female stenographers are.
paid from 81 200 to 81, 800. Vul-
canizers get from 81 800 to ST.
400. BARRIERS make $500 and
more. The most conservative esti-
mate of the wages of local machin-
lists and blacksmiths, allowing
nothing for overtime, is $1,S00,
and their colored helpers get ST.,
200.
Railroad engineers receive $3,-
200, and their firemen, many of
them colored, $4,000. Conductors
are paid $2,400, fagmen and 9TH
er trainmen $4,000, and telegra-
pliers $4,000.
The teachers of. Americas find no
fault with the wages paid to other
workers. But, with some salaries
y our schools as low as 1915 and
aone higher than 81, 500, can you
blame the teachers for leaving
their positions to become anything
from clerks and stenographers at
$1,000 all the way up to secre-
taries of Chambers of Commerce
at $4,000?
Is it not too much to expect of
men and women to sacrifice their
present comfort and proper provi-
sion for the future, when by mere
ly accepting business offers they
can double or triple their income,
thus relieving themselves not only
of the nervous strain of teaching,
but also of financial worry for the
future? We know that some of
our teachers already have definite
offers in the business world, that
others are planning to enter diff
ferent occupations, and that so per
cent of our teachers have definite
ly stated that they will not con-
tinue in our schools at present sal
aries.
Can you blame them2
Americus times-recorder., 1920-04-30

Theodore Roosevelt once declar-
ed at meeting OF the National
Education Association:
You teachers make the whole
world your debtor; and OF you 1T
can be said, as it can be said of no
other profession, save the profess
sion Of the ministers of the Cos
pei themselves, that ii you did not
do your work well, this republic
would not outEast the span of
generation.
How do the incomes of other
workers in Americus compare with
the salaries of teachers? For some
weeks the Teachers Council of
Americus has been conducting an
investigation into this question.
Here are the results.
The average salary paid the dry
goods saleswomen ranges In dit-
ferent stores from $3.50 to ST. 800,
no previous preparation being nee
essary, and very few having been
employed more than Ave years.
The male help in these establish
ments receive from $1,000 to $2,-
900. All have the privilege of OBJ
tanning the goods of the houses at
cost. A mems clothier pays his
statesmen an average of $2,100 and
sells to them at cost. ~
Women teachers receive from
$675 to $1,000; the men, $1,000,
They can buy nothing at cost A
normal school or college prepara-
ton of from two to four years is
required, costing several thousand
dollars. The experience of our
teachers ranges from two to twen-
ty-nine years. They are expected
to provide themselves with many
books and accessories, to attend
summer school, and to spare no ex-
pense to keep up to date in their
subjects and in methods of teach
ing.
A local grocer gives his head
man $1,850 and his truck driver
$3.50. The average salary of -all
the teachers in the city is stated
in the Times Recorder of April
25th as $62.50 a month, which, be-
ing paid for only nine months,

MAN Who Wed Is
WOMEN ADMITS
HE'S BLUEBEARD
Confesses Murder OF
Two, While z Are
Missing

Los ANGELES, April 3OAAt
least two of twelve or fifteen wo-
men, and probably more whom
James R. HURT is alleged to have
married, were murdered and two 9th
ers met accidental deaths while
with him, according to an alleged
confession made public early today
BY j. Morgan Marmaduke, his attor-
ney, and county officials.
HURT said he could not remember
what happened to some Of the wo-
men because of his weakened condi-
tiori resulting from two attempts to
commit suicide, his reputed confes-
sion said.
More than 20 marriages are attrib-
uted by officers to HURT, and seven
Of the women he married are listed as
missing.

]. E. Hightower Buys
Old Davenport Home

j. E. Hightower has just closed a
deal in which he becomes owner of
the Davenport home on West College
street. The purchase was made by
him direct from the owners, Prof.
Harold Davenport, of the. state uni
versity, and his sister, Miss Mary
Davenport.
The Davenport home, while num-
Der of years old, is one of the best
properties in Americus. The lot is
one of the most desirable, and the
house, containing 10 rooms, is said
to have been constructed out of only
the very best materials, and to be
next to impossible of duplication to-
day.
Mr.. Hightower purchased the prop
erty as an investment, but today ex-
pressed himself as undecided as to
whether he would remodel the house
and turn it into double apartment,
or renovate it and continue it as a
single home, either for rental pur-
poses or resale.
The house Us now occupied by
Joseph Perkins and family.

back in 1916, but as a lawyer, and
as money-getter in the legal field,
il doesn't seem he has any serious
competitors.
Friends of the former Republican
candidate say that his income is
81 100000 year. If he really makes
that $1,000,000, Hughes is making
more out of strictly legal work than
any other lawyer in this country. !.
Hughes present income is in strik-
ing contrast to what he received as
Justice Of the U. S. Supreme Court.
That position pays $14,50 a year.
When Hughes was defeated for the
presidency some said he made a mis-
take in resignig from the Supreme
Court in order to run. But did he?
What really happened in Novem-
ber, 1916, was that the voters Of this
country--and particularly the voters
of alifornia-kicked Hughes up
stairs into position paying about
sixty times what his former one had
yielded.
So busy is Hughes law Office on
lower Broadway that attorneys say
he has enough work on hand and Of
fered him to keep him busy for the
next hundred years.
He'll be very lucky if he gets to
finish it. He was So years old on
April Ii.
