IMMORTALITY

The following eloquent lines were
written years ago by Geo. D. Prentice,
the once famous Kentucky newspaper
editor:
ct can't be that earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t cannot be that
our life is a bubble cast by eternity
to float a moment on its waves and
sink back into nothingness. Else
why is it that the glorious aspirations
that leap like angels from the temple
of our hearts are forever wandering
unsatisfed? Why is it the stars
that hold their festals around the
midnight throne, are set above the
grasp of our limited faculties, for
ever mocking US with their unap-
proachable glory? And finally, why
I is it that bright forms of human beau
ty are presented to our view and
taken from US, leaving the thousand
streams of our affections to flow back
in Alpine torrents upon our hearts?
There is a realm where the rain
bow never fades; where the stars will
be spread out before US like the is
lands that slumber in the ocean, and
where the beautiful beings which pass
before US like the shadows will stay
in our presence forever"

WHATS THE MATTER WITH THE
SCHOOL TEACHERS?
(By c. A. Shively.)

At the opening of the school year
last September, forty thosand school
rooms were vacant because of lack
of teachers. In New York City alone
1900 teachers resigned last year.
Boston lost one-third of its entire
teaching force. Each year teachers
quit the profession in droves. They
do not strike, they make no fuss
about it, they do not jump their con-
tract, but just quietly withdraw from
the profession and enter other more
attractive and remunerative fields of
activity. Every week the appoint
ment committee of the Fort Hays
Kansas Normal School receives SOS.
calls for teachers from Kansas COM
munities.
To supply, in a measure, the short
age of teachers, persons of inferior
ability and poor preparation are
drafted into the service, with the in
evitable result of a lower standard
and quality of service.
The chief reason for this whole
sale desertion from the ranks of the
teaching profession, is not hard to
find. The average yearly salary of
machinists in this country, according
to the report of the U. S. Bureau of
Statistics, is $193O; bricklayers,
$1875; plumbers, $175O; carpenters,
$125O; hod carriers, $1225; high
school teachers, $685.; elementary
school teachers, $3.50. Window wash
ers in Chicago were getting $33 a
week and struck fo rs44. Grade
school teachers receive from $50. to
$22 SO.
Measured in terms of buying power
the teachers dollar she received in
1914 is worth about so cents today.
In other words, a 500 salary now is
about equivalent to $50 salary in
1914, Or a $50 salary in 1911. Again,
teacher must live 365 days in a
year. She generally draws salary for
18O days at the maximum. A teach
er who draws $85 per month receives
$765 per year, or actually only
$63.75 per month.
The teacher problem is a serious
one. Boards of Education are help
less They cannot spend money not
in the school treasury to spend. If
the community wants efficient serv-
ice, it must be willing to pay the
price. A radical change in our atti-
tude toward teachers salaries must
come if the best men and women are
to be saved for the profession. The
backbone OF our Nation is its school
system. If we allow it to deteriorate,
by the withdrawal of its most capable
leaders, the Nation will pay the pen
atty.
