Plea for the Teachers

To the Editor Of the Ercnin0 Public Lcdoer:
Sir-Your recent editorial upon the
subject of teachers salaries, as dallied
with by the Board of Education. was to
ment to the teachers when they read
accounts In the papers that only nine
members of the board were present ana
that ten we're necessary in order to take
any action upon the vital question OF
salaries.
The teachers feel that they have been
unjustly treated In this matter of in
crease of salary. They feel Il so much
the more because of statements made
at the Liberty Loan drive meetings held
Mr.. Stotesbury and Mr.. Neary impressed
the teachers In their remarks urging the
educational forces to stand by the loans,
and every. teacher produce in her class
at least $1,000 In subscriptions; that they
do all in their power to bring about an
increase In salary. Who las ever heard
the name of either Of these men mem
toned using their influence in any way
to get the teachers more pay so badly
needed at this very time?
Every one knows what effect this
DELAY and holding off has meant in the
spirit and morale of the teachers. No
teacher can do good teaching anG have
lasting influence over her pupils when
she Is compelled to have a distracted
mind on account of inadequate pay.
Teachers spend years in preparation
for their work and in addition to this
they are expected to keep abreast of
the. times by taking up extra work In
colleges on Saturdays or in the eve
nings. The physical and mental strain
of the day with fifty or more live pupils
IS about all most teachers can endure
Then add TO this extra effort to keen
apace, plus an extra outlay of money
for this extra work and no visible IN
creased compensation forthcoming
makes for lowered efficiency.
Ministers are granted from one to
two months vacation on full pay. why
should teachers be an exception? re the
Board of Education woulc evolve a plan
whereby the teachers would be paid
during sthe months of July and August
the same as during the other ten
months. the salary question would be
solved. BY so doing teachers would
feel at ease to devote the greater part
OF the two months to study and travel
and thus come back to their work re-
juvenated. The pupils would be the
ones to profit.
1t is impossible to draw sweet water
from a bitter we'll. Radiation is as
important in school room as II Is in
any other line of activity, regardless as
TO whether the radiation. is from the
sun or other source. Regardless as to
how we look upon money in the light
of the teaching profession, 1t does
cause kind of radiation not easy of
measurement. Arc we dead or alive
or this matter? Let's examine into
this holding off. TAPNAYET.

The PEOPLES Voice

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Your, editorial, Right of the
People to Have Their Say" is one that
all reasonable and fair-minded people
will agree with In its main points. but
in my humble opinion you have got off
the track In one or two of your state
ments and deductions.
You say ''in this state CPennsylva-
nia) the Legislature ratified the pro-
hibition amendment, also in spite of the
failure to put prohibition in the state
constitution" Your inference Is that
therefore the Legislature acted without
due regard as to whether or not the
people wished this change Have you
forgotten the fact that the liquor issue
was the chief issue in the last state
election campaign? Governor Sproul was
openly committed to ratification. and
Bomiwell's chief and almost only plank
was opposition to ratification. Yet Bon
niwell was defeated by an overwhelming
majority
The Anti-Saloon League and the
liquors element both also eXerted their
utmost power to elect members to the
Legislature for or against the ratifica-
tion and the anti-saloon people got the
majority of them. Under present con-
Gitons and limitations involved in
changing the national constitution. how
could there be obtained a better and
fuller expression OF the voters Of Penn
sylvania on the ratification issue than
the one above mentioned?
