young people to the best education that
can be provided for them.
| There, right at that point. is the pith
and substance of the whole business
When we keep teachers pay far below
the point which attracts even those
who love- to teach, and are willing to
devote themselves to teaching SO long
as it is possible to live decently in the
profession, we rob the children Of edu-
cational opportunity. We simply begin
process that in the end would fill the
teaching positions with seconds" and
thirds with persons who turn to
teaching as a refuge after failure to
make good in other vocations And we
commit to mediocrities or less the
young persons whose whole future is
being determined by their school train
ing. That way, madness lies. No city
or town can afford, even in dollars and
cents, let alone all the higher values, to
rob the child of his American birthright
of sound, elementary education. The
way to provide it for him Is to put
enough money into this business to en-
able the competent teachers who would
rather teach than do anything else,
even although the remuneration is not
on profiteer basis--to enable these to
accept and keep the teaching positions.
1t is quite the vogue now to talk
about Amercanizing the newcomers. 1t
may be said, too, that while the folks
who talk much and do little are talking
on this subject, Others are really doing
something in this line. But what doth
it profit a state if it Americanizes all
its immigrants and fail to provide those
of its own house with the fundamentals
OF Americanism The biggest part of
Americanization is done in the elemen
tary schools, when these schools are
functioning properly, and we can well
afford to put all the money needed into
the doing of this job in first-rate shape.

Teachers Pay.

II is with a good deal of pleasure
that one reads the mayors approval of
the salary increase for ManchesSpr's
teachers. Even now. the educational
staff of the city will not roll in wealth,
but il will be removed by several de-
grees from actual want, and, in fact,
will be pretty well paid. according to
the long accepted standards.
AT the same time. the mayor calls the
attention of the city to the need OF
more money by which this increase can
be paid. This, of course, has not been
Overlooked. Nobody imagines that the
teachers are to be paid with stage
money" Not only here, but through
out the state as well, this is a matter
of earnest discussion As one of the
state officials who knows as much re-
garding our resources as anybody else
put it TO us the other day: "The teach
ers deserve more money, and they must
have IL. But we have got to tap new
resources of money before we can pay
them much more than they are getting

turning out marketable products, into

or town has all the wage problem of
the industrial plant without the COM
pensating advantage of increased rev.
enue from sale of products. 1t has got
to 90 into its own resources to meet
the increasing demands.
Well, it is good that Manchester has
taken hold of this matter courageously,
brought the teachers salaries up to the
level OF common deceney, and tacitly
declared for the finding of the money
that shall pay the bills. II is good
example to set to such parts of the
state as are still negligent of the claims
