this musical offering was first
produced it was received with a

that local theatre patrons are
looking forward with expect

Dollars and Schools.
Editor of The Post: =

One million dollars, the pro
posed increase in the state ap-
preparation to public schools,
taken in the aggregate sounds
rather large, not to say grandiosc
but let us analyzc very briefly
what this increase really will
amount to in some of the results
attained.
Take the largest and most i'm
portant item of expense in our
public schools, providing teach
ors. One million dollars Will
make possible an increase Of $40
year for each teacher in the
state. The average salary of
white teachers in Virginia in
lalS-l0 was 1929 per annum
this average doubtless has not
been sufficiently raised to reach
5000 per annum for the present
year, but for the sake of argu-
ment, suppose that it had The
proposed increase in the state
appropriation would bring the
average toabout 1870 per annum
for the year 1020-2l.
Now, the average salary for
teachers III the United States for
lola-20 is estimated at sGT5; in
view of present tendencies il is
inconccivablc that this national
average will bc loss than $To0
for l9a0-2l
let III put aside altogether the
questions whether $57n per nn-
mum or 800 per unnum is g just
compensation for teachers, and
whether either figure viii stem
the tide of teachers leaving the
profession for oilfr work. Let
us as citizens of Y irgin,a face
squarcly these two questions :
Will the year lq20-2l find those
Virginia teachers who stick Ii

ginia with its average salary OF
less than 1870 or migrating to
other sections average salary of
more than 800. viii those
teachers who ara drawn away
from Virginia be our mos, poor
~ qualified or our most efficient
tcachcrsY
Test the efficacy OF this pro-
posed million dollar increase
from another angle. In 1850
Virginia ranked 39th among the
As states III school expenditures
per capita of school population.
The expenditure per capita OF
school population in Virginia
was $l0.9T, the average FOR the
United States was S23 81.
Though Virginia has increase
her expenditures since 1916, SO
have other sections, and the
ratio is doubtless approximately
the game. The increase of one
million will mean an increase of
about one dollar per capita Of
school population, still leaving
Nirginia's expenditure per capita
OF school population about half
of the average for the United
States.
Under present assessments and
under the present constitutional
limitation on local taxation for
school purposes the counties and
districts are powcrlcss to in
crease their school funds apprc-
ciably. Relief must come from
the state appropriating the mil
lion dollars recommended by the
governor and increasing the state
school tax from II To ~ cents on
the hundred dollars, will afford
an appreciable degree Of relief.
