TEACHERS IN OUR SCHOOLS
TO RECEIVE LIVING WAGE

( The Times thinks that discussion as
to the adyisiability of raising the sal
aries of teachers, is unnecessary, for
the simple reason that there can be
no objection to paying them living
wage, based on the present cost OF
living. The idea Of expecting a
teacher to be well-educated and to
impart the knowledge 10 our child
rem, mix goodly portion or patriotic
American sentiment with the in
struetion, and TO be model in Ian
guage and department for our grow
ing youth, and at the same time re-
ceive a wage less than that of the
janitor, or other person without pre-
vious training, is all wrong.
Everything the teacher buys has in
creased nearly 100 per cent.
Here are the wages now paid:
H. E. Powers, supt., Science
$1,000 Anna E. Curtis, Prin., agri-
culture, $1,000; M. Laravea Hand

70 Discuss Consolidation
Mass Meeting of People of Meridian
and Adjoining Districts TO Talk
Over Proposition.

n Come out to the mass meeting at
Inc high school building In Meridian
Thursday evening, January 10Th. DR..
DID. A. Bryan, Commissioners of Edu-
eation for Idaho, will be present and
Fan give us some valuable inform
III ation on the subject. Surely there are
many desirable features Of the Con-
ssolidated school, If only, the people
Awere better acquainted with the gem
Aeral plan. II its of mutual benefit,
#lets have it.
II Speaking OF the plan, Supt. Hs p.
Powers, of the Meridian school, says:
More than ever are people now
looming to realize the Importance and
necessity of good schools. In view of
Kthis fact they are more ready to ac-
Scept the idea that the one-teacher sys-
item was developed first, and that
THE graded system came later as an
Boutgrowth and improvement. The
*one-teacher school system has served
humanity long and we'll In New
England alone, 1t has turned ou,
BehOugh poets, statesmen, writer's and
scientists to recommend any system
] of education, to say nothing OF its
Epower in the later pioneer days OF
I the west
LET us not minimize the gooc
work of the little red schoolhouse.
1t has dear associations for us all; ii
4 has had untold influence on the Am
8erican republic. But 1t has served
Tits day. It belongs not to the present
with its many urgent demands for
varied and special training, but to the
past. 1t has no place In highly
complicated social life like that oil
to-day, in which competition is the
keynote of the age and where eacr
individual must specialize more OF
less and make himself capable OF
rendering good service in at least one
line. Under even the most favorable
conditions three incurable defects
still remain:
I'd The school having from six tt
eight grades demands more worl
than one teacher can possibly dc
we'll.
"a llJ hG Suldti AuhDEA Ah Sl1o
very frequently makes uninterestint
work for both pupil and teacher. SucI
conditions are abnormal and anti-soc
/ ial. The stray children of these
classes consequently rose interest
dawdle, and often drop out of schoo
altogether, through the simple lacl
of companionable associates.
t3) The third defect, the fact tina
the system provides no high schoo
course and still costs as much pc
capita as a graded system providing
the best of secondary schools, is per
haps its worst feature.
These are some of the things, it i
claimed, consolidation will eliminate
To procure such system 1t is oni
necessary for a community to adjus
U itself to its environment, eltminat
B distance by transportation, gathe
their children into larger groups, col
lect scattered funds, and combine tn
"a heroic but fruitless and ineffectiv
effort now wasted on the old, out
grown system. Why advantages s
easily gained by the simple act of In
creasing the size of the district are s
slowly grasped will probably Ion
remain mystery in the record of &c
ucation."
