Teachers Of State Adopt
New Platform for 1921

The school administrators re-
alizing the critical conditions
confronting the citizens of Ari-
zona today make the following
recommendations:
l. That the ensuing school
year is not suited for the intro
duction Of any new or unusual
features involving additional ex-
penditures.
2. That the organization Of
vocational and other classes for
a small number o f students
should be discouraged.
3. Schools are urged to pur-
chase only the minimum amount
of school supplies and use the
most scrupulous care in their
distribution and use.
A. Teachers are expected TO
bear their share of the burden
during this crisis by rendering
additional service in longer hours
or larger and more classes.
5. Teachers salaries should
be readjusted on the basis of
merit and experience.
a. Salary schedules for teach
ers in Arizona should be ar
ranged with the view of encour-
aging the better type of teacher
to remain in the state thus re-
ducing migratory tendencies.
b. School officials hould,
therefore, maintain graduated
schedule designed to give teach
ers increases extending over a
period of years and based on
merit.
c. The granting of full recog-
milton of years of service in
other schools should be discour-
aged as a matter of justice to
the teacher who remains within
the system.
d. School officials should con-
slider it a matter Of professional
ethics and courtesy not to en-
gage teachers who have served
but one year in other school sys-
TENS unless unusual circumstan-
ces justify.
e. School officials should ex-
ercise greater care in recon-
mending teachers as candidates
to other officials avoiding am
biguous terms and eloquent En-
glish.
They should deem it a breach
of professional etchics to write
general recommendations.
f. The minimum salary for
grade teachers should be suffi-
cient to give the teacher a thrift
wage. This depends upon vary
ing conditions of living through
out the state. A minimum wage
of $1,000 is recommended by the
National EDUCATIONAL Association.
g. Increases should be given
sparingly at this critical period.
Teachers must have shown real
meritorious service to be enti-
tied to the same.
Adopted May 1, 1921.
