The war department is giving
thought to the organization that VIII
be formed to take charge of the bring
ing home of the bodies. There is al
ready in existence what is known as
the United States graves commission
an organization that has been busy In
France ever since the armlstlce was
signed, locating and identifying SOL
diers who fell in the war, and that
commission still has a great deal OF
work ahead of Il. The present plan
is TO turn over to II the main part OF
the task of arranging for the bringing
home of the bodies. This commission
during the last year has registered
about "a per cent of the American sol
diers who are buried in France.
After the French government snail
have given the United States permls-
sion to bring back the bodies, the hrst
step will be to ask the nearest of Kin
of every soldier buried over there
where the body is to be sent. Inc
government WILL of course, bear all
the expense of bringing home and OF
burial At least this is the plan that
is ut present in the minds OF the OH
Gals.

Teachers Are Poorly Paid.

teachers Are Poorly Fdiu.
The National Education associa-
ton, cooperating with the federal
bureau of education, has through
QUESTIONABLE, obtained addl-
tional information with respect 10
the shortage of schoolteAchers and
the ihGGeqGacy of teachers salaries.
Through blanks sent TO county ana
city superintendent in various
places and sections of the country In
formation was sought relative TO TIE
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 lnforma-
ton in greater detail on the same
items. Four hundred and twenty-three
city superintendents, representing all
parts of the country, sent in replies,
while filled-in blanks were received
from 1900 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 S911. Ac-
cording to 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 OF
the cities reporting.
Inadequaev of Salaries Shown.
The inadequacy of the salaries paid
is revealed in the showing that 66 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 40 per cent of the elementary
teachers, 43 per cent of the intermedi-
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 I'm lines of work
that do not require any particular
training are much better paid than
teachers. For instance. a 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 head baker receives
$500 more a year than an elementary
schoolteacher of the same district !;
blacksn4ths $500 more a year, and
machinists s1,33S more a year.
