 "The teacher is not a dilettante working at a pleasant task for a brief interval between school days and matrimony. She is more often a serious, hard-working person earning her money for the same purpose as anyone else; to support herself, to build up an estate, to pay taxes on her own or her relatives property, to finance the education of younger brothers and sisters, to support aging parents, to increase her worth by professional study. in a word, to live the full and com plete life of any other success ful professional person.

AUTO LIABILITY
 INSURANCE RATES

(Continued from Page 1.)
 defined "as all territory within the city limits of Waterbury, the townships of Middlebury, Nauga- tuck and Waterbury in New Haven county and the township of Water. town in Litchfield county. The statement of the insurance com panies is as follows:
 On January IS, 1892 the rates applicable to Automobile Public Liability insurance were revised in a large number of states. One of the states was Connecticut. The changes were made in consonance with the experience of the com panies members of the National Bureau of Casualty & Surety Un- derwriters, which disclosed severe underwriting losses in connection with Automobile Public Liability coverage for both private passen- ger and commercial cars.
 In Waterbury, the rates were substantially raised due to a severe increase in the average loss cos. per car insured. The rates which became effective in 1882 have con tinued in force until the present time.
 The following is a tabulation oi the latest experience for bodily in- jury coverage on private passenger cars in Waterbury.
 Policy Ave. Loss Claim Ere Ave Year Cost per Car quency Cost 1929 -...$34.67 6.9 $501.O 1890 .... 3709 6.5 569.OC 1881 .... 36.82 6.2 595.OC 1882 .... 4O.31 6.1 664OC 1888 .... 46.1O 7.9 66O.0C Attention is called to the contin- ued rise in the average loss cost per car, as well as in the average claim cost.
 The average loss cost underlying the present private passenger car bodily injury liability rates in Wa. terbury Is $3S.36. This 1t will be observed is less than the actual loss cost for policy years 1892 and 1893. From this 1t is apparent that the present rates are inadequate. For property damage coverage on private passenger cars the ex- perience tabulation is as follows; 1923 .$794 AovV ssssss o'OU 1ool '.s 0.09 l93z 4.53 l933 ............... 6.54 Attention is called to the drop ir the average loss cost per car un. til 1883, in which year there was a substantial rise. The average loss cost underlying the present private passenger car property damage rates in Waterbury is $9.O5 from which 1t might be said that the present rates were more thar the experience indicates.
 In a situation such as this witt bodily injury rates inadequate ant property damage rates more thar adequate, consideration would be given to the joint experience. Int average loss cost for 1892 and 193: for bodily injury liability anG property damage combined i! $4S.78. The average loss cost un deriving the present bodily injury liability and property damage ratci is $47.41 ($3S.36 plus $9.O5). From this it is apparent that the present Waterbury rates on a combined basis are somewhat less than the experience warrants.
 Waterbury territory Is defined as all territory within the city linn. it's of Waterbury, the townships o1 Middlebury, Ma Syatuck and Wa. terbury in New Haven county. and the township of Watertowh 1T Litchfield county.
