TIE TEAcHER,s PAY

| Much is being written Of late about
! the loss of the good teacher in the
public school system. People every
/ where are beginning to realize the
seriousness Of the loss and it is wide
ly preicted that in the course Of few
years the last of the dependable ele-
ment will be gone.
We never enjoy dealing in such
thought, but we have many reasons
for assuming that it is time to begin
instilling encouragement for a larger
salary for the teaching force. Unless
there is more pay-let US say. double
present pay-for the teacher, he will
be gone init other work to stay. 1t
is alarming how many good men and
women who trained themselves for
life work in teaching have laid down
the profession to enter more remuner-
ative employment They have gone
to stay until teaching salaries are
such as will provide comfortable
living.
Constant shifting, seven or eight
different teachers in a single term for
child in school, the eventual drop
ping in of some unframed, inefficient
person is invariably the result where
the salary is not enough to hold a
good person at the post The steady
element, the teaching force with a
pride in the work, the instructor who
has made it a life business and
trained for that special work is neces
sary, say what you will about teach
ing.
Here and everywhere soon the lit
tie red school house will be NAM
tanned by private funds and the good
teacher there will be well paid for
his services because he can command
the price. The private school will
plant the public system as rapidly
as time can provide the change. The
competent instructor who sets up his
own school and charges a reasonable
fee for instruction, and runs his
school unhampered, care free, and ac-
cording to his own way of thinking. is
bound to stand in superior 9tmos-

SOLONS PLAN
FOR REVISION
Committee Will Be Called Together
Following Election and VIII
Have Program Ready For
First Session.

AT the informal gathering OF mem
bers of the Legislature at the state
fair grounds yesterday, on motion OF
Representative j. B. Weaver. OF POLK
county, committee of one from the
senate and one from the house was
named to call conference OF the
members-elect to the thlrty-nintn
general assembly shortly after the
election, the Register says.
The purpose of the conference VIII
be to have committee from each
house selected to act jointly in in
vestigating the whole matter or deaf
ing with the report Of the code COM
mission at the session OF the legls-
lature that convenes in January.
1t is expected that the committee
will confer with the code commission,
inquire into the experience OF the
commission and the legislature IN
handling the revision of 1897, and re-
port at the opening of the coming
session of the legislature a tentative
program for dealing with this I'M
portant subject.
At the meeting today Senator Wal
ter Anderson, of Greene county, was
named on behalf of the senate. ana
Representative ]. B. Weaver, of Polk
county, on behalf of the house. These
two will call the conference OF all
the members elected to both houses
after the election.
Speaking OF the action taken. Mr..
Weaver said: "This matter OF the
code revision is extremely important,
and it certainly will save time and
the money of the state if, when the
legislature convenes, all the consid-
erations with respect to code revision
may be presented in report OF
joint committee. 1t may save two
or three weeks of uncertainty as to
when and how the matter OF code
revision shall be handled This was
my thought in suggesting the ap.
pointment today of the committee OF
one from each house to call the con-
ference following the election.
