standards. 1t will be agreed, except
by the most extreme, that such in
creases will not only be fair but
generous. Living costs, according
to the most trustworthy informa-
ton which has been collated, are
now up approximately 70 per cent.
So the teachers, if the new schedule
gets by all the hurdles and becomes
law, will be better off than before
the war. The New York teaching
corps will enjoy the distinction of
being the highest priced large body
of workers in the world-certainly
the highest paid body of teachers.
This is as it should be. On &C
count Of the large number of aliens
and the degree Of efficiency de-
manded by the heads Of the school
system the New York teacher en-
dures a strain above that put on
any other.
