Attorney Generals Inter
probation Of Statute Makes
1t Possible to Give Teach
ers Living Wage Without
Legislative Action. Glad
News to Educators.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, April Is,
While many states are strugg.
ling to find wGys and means to
pay adequate salaries to their
school teachers, and while the
United States Commissioner of
Education is calling a national
conference of educators and tax
payers to find a way to meet a
national crisis in school work.
New Mexico has found way to
raise the pay of the public school
teachers without waiting for the
legislature to enact further laws
to authorize the increase.
The new plan which makes
possible the increase is a new
Interpretation of chapter 83,
laws of 1919, and section 1898,
code of 1915, which Superinten-
dent Wagner and Assistant At
torney General Bowman both
hold to be the only reasonable
Interpretation. The law refers
to a scholastic year" but for
some reason that now appears to
have been without proper founda-
ton, this has always been con-
strued to mean a scholastic
term"
Under the old Interpretation,
a school district employing a first
grade teacher and having a term
of seven months, might contrive
to pay the teacher $500 for the
years work. The maximum
, allowance was $l10 month
, which left only $40 a month for
I janitor service. heat, water and
} light. To make both ends meet"
: on this slender allowance often
required expert management.
. But under the new interpret;l-
/ ton. it will be possible for such
a school to make its budget for
: twelve months which will make
\ a fund available of 81, 800, ade-
: quate to pay the teacher the
living salary of 81, 200 a year.
Y and to have left $120 a year to
s take care Of other necessary ex-
K penses.

Burning Bridges

The recent wind storms dis
