Of the charges had been exploded and
through the efforts Of Democratic speakers,
who had the facts and figures, the people
OF Virginia had been acquainted as they
never had been before with the wonderful
strides that have been taken in building
up an educational system of which tho
state need not now be ashamed and of
which one day 1t will be proud
This is not to say that there are not
defects in our educational system. They
are to be expected when 1t Is considered the
distance we have come In a few years, but
such defects as exist are being ironed out
ana eradicated as rapidly as possible under
the guidance Of such leading educators, and
with the assistance of the loyal rank and
nile OF teachers, as those who are gathered
in Richmond today for a conference and
Interchange OF views concerning their COM
mon problems.
Perhaps the one great defect today Is the
small salaries paid to the teachers In the
pubic schools. In all too many cases tho
pay is barely enough to enable one to keep
BODY and soul together-certainly not
enough to attract new teaching material or
TO retain what we have when other States
come into Virginia in search of educators
Tor their children. But Virginia realizes
that 1t Is not paying its teachers in proper
lion to their efforts. 1t has given them
some relief, but much more is needed We
are certain that the General Assembly, soon
TO convene. realizes the sore need of better
salaries for teachers, that it will not be
satisfied until this reproach is removed and
virginia can hold up its head with other
States because 1t wants the best there is
for its children and is willing to pay what
it costs.
