TEACHERS IN 1878
NEEDEDS1,426PAY
Based on Living Cost, Labor
Bureau States. Urging
General Increase.

The average salary for teachers in
the public schools of the District OF
Columbia in 1915 should have been
Si.t26.71 in order TO meet living costs.
and the total expenditure for teach
ers' salaries should have been 81.
464,934, according to figures made
public today by the bureau of labor
statistics. The figures are contained
IN a report urging that teachers sal
aries all over the country be raised
10 meet living costs.
\ plea for more salary for teachers
j. made in a statement which says
when salaries fail below the level
of subsistence. whe tteachers are
obliged to go into actual bankruptcy
in order to exist, the ethics of the sit
Uation vanish. and only the bare fact
remains that teachers. notwithStand-
ing the high motives by which they
are actuated, are quite human after
all and, like the rest of mankind.
must by some mea rs pay their bills
in order TO live
ID. {. Salaries in 1914 and 1915.
Teachers in the District were paid
higher average sa laries in 1914 and
1915 than in any of the states, ac-
Cording 10 the statement. the average
for those years being s1,01e.0S. To-
tai expenditures for salaries in the
District for 1e14-15 amounted to
S1.I6O.667.
In 1915 the average salary of public
school teachers in the United States
was S543.31. In twenty three states
the average fell below $500: in twelve
states it was below S400 and in three
states 1t was less taan $500. SiXty-six
per cent of the teachers resigning
their positions, without regard to
cause. received less than the inter
mediate salaries for their respective
teaching groups, while 20 per cent
quit teaching to take up other lines
of work.
One in Five Has Outside Work.
Tabulation of the returns from
questionnaires sent out to- $4,000
teachers. Substantiates the fact. the
report says, that only one teacher III
five has any additional income. and for
this the INTERN ediate amount is less
than 800 in most groups.
Forty-six per cent of the element
AIRY teachers in the United States, 43
per cent of the intermediate teachers
and AZ per cent of the high school
teachers have others dependent on
them for support. either wholly or in
part Individual teachers support
more dependents in large cities than
in the smaller towns.
AS a majority of teachers. especially
of the elementary and intermediate
schools, are unmarried women. such a
finding constitutes an additional refu-
t&tion Of the theory that woman
workers should receive less than men
because they have no fami lilies to sup
port, the report says.
