SCHOOL SALARIES
AND COSTS
INTERESTING ARTICLE BY THE
SECRETARY OF SCHOOL
BOARD.

In the minutes of the last meeting
of the Board of Education, appearing
elsewhere in this issue, taxpayers and
citizens generally will be interested
in the raises Of salary granted the
teachers and in the very substantial
increase of the superintendent sal
airy from $1,000 per annum to $4,-
500. The salary schedule of grade
teachers with two years experience
rests upon minimum or basic sal
AIRY of $4,000; that Of High School
teachers is $4,000. Each year Of
experience beyond two years adds
five dollars to this basic salary. These
figures were arrived at after an in
Ivestigation Of what other range dis
tricts were going to pays 1t was
found that in some Of the districts
basic salaries. of $4,000 and $4,000
respectively for. grades and High
School, would be paid; but in these
communities the cost of living could
be computed as being at least ten
dollars per month higher, so that we
would still be on a level with these
at the salaries determined upon.
School boards find that they are no
exception to the law governing other
employers; the prevailing wage or
salary for the same grade of ability
and experience must be paid to pro-
vide the schools with instructors, un-
less we are satisfied with teachers of
an inferior type.
The law of supply and demand,
which compels US to pay adequate
teachers salaries, applies to the sal
airy Of the Superintendent. A study
Of the following table will show
where we have stood in this respect:

rectors of the fair tax association as
the day on which campaign for
members and dollars" will be
launched in Duluth and the range
towns.
