SEES CAPITAL AS
WORLDS ART CENTER

With the proper stimulus, Wash
ington might become the art CEN
ter of the world, George Julian Zol-
nay, Washington sculptor and presi-
dent OF the Washington Society OF
Artists, told the City Club at the
weekly forum luncheon yesterday aft
ernoon. Mr.. Zolnay observed that
popular interest in a casualty or a
crime was at present greater than
in works Of art, and said that the
public did not feel at home in an art
gallery sufficiently TO become famil-
ar with the works of the masters
He suggested that the City Club
might help materially by giving an
art exhibition, holding that the
warmer social atmosphere of a club
would win the public more quickly.
The annual meeting of the City
Elub will be held this evening. short
annual reports of officers will be
read and officers elected for the en-
suing year. Congressman Robert
Luce, of Massachusetts will speak on

SCHOOL PAY
STUDY ENDED
ReclasslfIers Find Eighty Per
Cent Of Teachers Get Less
Than Living Wage. {

The Congressional Join commissisu
on reclassification OF salaries this
morning completed a thorough study
OF salaries paid teachers of the Dis
trict. Tabulations made in this con-
nection prove more convincingly than
any OF the many arguments advanced
heretofore that teachers are grossly
underpaid.
IL is shown that 1,o4s eIementar~
school teachers, or more than one
half employed in the District, re.
celVe an average salary OF only S9II,
In the elementary school class ,b39
out or a total number of 1,947 in the
entire school system are listed.
These 1888, including a division SUI
perintendent principals and special
teachers, show an average annual SAL
airy OF but S971.
Less Than Living Waxe.
These figures prove that approxfs
mately so per cent OF the teachers in
Washington are paid less, by more
than 500. than the irreducible min
imum cost of living for an unmar-
ried woman as set by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics
A further analysis of the recIassi-
ncation commissions figures shows
mat the average salary Of high school
teachers. including all classes and
principals, is 81 ,666. This is more than
5000 lower than the figures of the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics setting q
minimum cost of living for married
persons and persons with dependents
These tables, perhaps more SO than
any other salary schedules thus far
prepared by the commission, show a
uniformity in salary grading for
years of service. Unlike many other
Government employees. the salaries of
teachers have advanced with their
years of service. small as this increase
might have been.
Many Served rs Years.
The commissions salary tabulations
according to years of service show
that a greater percentage of teachers
have served twenty-five years and
over than for lesser divisions of time
among 1,048 teachers.
While only 9S teachers have served
under one year, 175 have taught over
twenty-five years. Length of service
of the others follows: Under two
years, 81; under three, 81; under four.
54; under five, 46; under seven, 50;
