Arizona S Teachers.

ONE REASON why Arizona ranks fourth among the 4s
~ states in educational standing is shown in the report
Of the state superintendent Of instruction, C. O. Case Just
made This report shows that the lowest salary paid to
school teacher in the state 500 month The highest
salary paid to rural teacher is Sis a month.
The total Of the annual salaries paid to superintendent
principals and teachers in Arizona is S5713254 Of which
81 Osz2s5 is spent IN Marieopa county alone.
The average monthly salary, calculated y months
basis for superntendnts and principals in cities Of the
state s3O45o For assistant principals is s193s2 For
high school teachers it is S7021 For grade teachers IN
cities towns and larger rural districts the average salary
is s12e50.
Advance in salaries since the have ranged from II
percent in Santa Cruz county to Of percent in COehe
county.
Teachers do not ask prnely salaries but when they
paid enough to live much they could get in any
other profession for which they have to make the
preparation-they VIII stick to the school room.
The truth Texas must face is that teachers haven't been
paid enough in this state to keep them teaching That's
why Texas ranks 54h among the 4s states in educational
advantages.
