that the others had to prove him
wrong. Tie Dart" the Racer" the

the untried and Wanting newcomer

OF teachers. it must be prepared to pay
as high for their services as other
cities. If Washington is to have as
good teachers and as good teaching as
other cities it must pay salaries sur
ficiently high to secure and retain such
teachers. 1t is on the principle Of sup
ply and demand that the new salary
schedule is based.
.Tne new proposed schedule will not,
in any case. place Washington at the
head of the list of cities paying leading
salaries In general, Washington will
stand from one third or ne-fourth the
way from the top of such a list. Never
theless, in view of the comparatively
low salaries which Washington now
pays, the new schedule will provide a
substantially better salary for all edu-
cational employees than the present
schedule provides.
THE bill was considered and f6-
vorably acted on by many citizens as
sociations Such bodies as the Board
of Trade and the Chamber of Com
merce are on record in favor of higher
salaries for school employees. The Com
missioners approved the bill, with

1.-THE bill is not the result of snap
Judgment or nasty consideration. 1t
has been prepared after long considera-
ton and in accordance with definite
principles. The preparation of the bill
began in April. 1921, as has already
been stated. At the same time that
the committee on salary legislation was
appointed the Teachers Council also
appointed committee of the council
on teachers salaries in other cities
This committee gathered information
on salaries from nearly fifty cities of
over 100000 population and placed it at
the disposal of. the corresponding COM
mittee on salary legislation In passing
it is interesting to note that this in
formation was considered SO valuable
that the National Education Associa-
ton printed It as bulletin 10 for dis
tribution throughout the country in the
interest of salary legislation in other
cities.
"The proposed salary schedule for
Washington was based on the present
compensation in Washington and on
the schedules received from other
cities Since Washington must COM
pete with other cities for its supply
