division of the Bureau of Education
issued circular on Salaries of
Teachers in Rural Schools in 1922"
1t was compiled from special reports
made by about43 per cent of the
county superintendent of the United
States, apportioning 1858 teachers
to designated salary groups More
than SO per cent of these teachers, or
70,l24, were in charge of one-teacher
schools. In 6 states these teachers
received a median salary between $500
and S400 per year; in 3 states the
median salary was between $500 and
$500; in 3 States between $500 and
5000; in 5 states between $500 and
500; in 6 states between $500 and
$500; in II states between$S00 and
5000; and in states between 5000
and $1,000. In 5 states only did the
median salaries of the teachers of
one-room schools exceed 81 900.
The salaries enumerated are near
the average salaries in the groups.
Of course there We're salaries very
much lower in all the states. Nine
teen states had lowest salary groups.
of less than $500 per year in one and
two teacher schools.
That rural school circular contain
ed table showing the median sal
aries of 1920 elementary teachers
in city school Systems. 1t was shown
that in 96S cities of $500 to 10000
population, the median salary was
between $1,000 and SLIGO; in 2S6
cities of 10000 to $4,000 the median
salary was between $1,000 and $1,000;
in 141 cities of $4,000 10 100000 the
median salary was between $1,000
and 81, 400; and in the 40 cities over
100000. the median salary was be-
tween 1900 and 1900.
No one will contend that the salar-
les paid city teachers are too high.
The services of these teachers make
the schools what they are. If our
country schools are to be made COM
parable with the average urban
schools then we must find money
enough to pay living salaries to
teachers, provide better schoolhouses
and equipment, and lengthen the
school term to nine months.

School Notes.
SALARIES OF RURAL SCHOOL
TEACHERS

An investigation recently made in
the Bureau of Education showed
that the children in the city schools
are offered an average school term
of 1S2 days, while the average term
in rural schools is less than 1877 days;
that the average number of days at
tended by each pupil enrolled in the
city schools is 14S, while the average
pupil enrolled in the rural school at
tends only 90 days.
Why does the city school hold
nearly 70 per cent of its enrolment
in average attendance, while the
rural school, with term more than
two months shorter, has an average
attendance of less than II per cent :?
Bad weather. bad roads, and other
physical conditions in the country
may reduce the average daily at
tendance somewhat, but the chief
reasons center in the school itself
Poor schoolhouses, badly lighted and
poorly heated, inadequate classroom
equipment and poorly paid teachers
account for an average attendance of
less than so per cent of the enroll
ment in some sections of the coun-
try.
How often we have heard some
country matron thus express herself:
Il certainly shall not force my child
rem 10 tramp through mud and slush
to half freeze in that old schoolhouse
and say their lessons to that teacher
who doesn't know anything"
Why is it that the teacher "does-
MT know anything ?"
She is not paid to know very much.
For four or five months she will re-
ceive the poor salary the district is
able TO pay. There is no prospect of
an increase the next year-possibly a
reduction. The other districts she
knows about offer no better induce
ments. She has no incentive to
make of herself better teacher in
that community. If, happily, she
has ambition and energy she
may prepare herself for better pos
ition with better pay in village
school or in the schools of a small
city. In either event she would
abandon her present charge to less
competent teacher.
A short time ago the rural schools
