DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT

DOING SOMETHING ABOUT 1T
We simply must do something
about the mess in which mankind
finds itself today. Our ultimate
choice is one world or no world.
Yet the International conferences
lately in session have been scenes
Of strife or confusion and blatant
nationalism. A war-weary world
is girding itself for future con-
flicts.
Most of us stand helpless, as
spectators and critics. Well-mean-
ing organizations without number
have sprung up to defend the
peace, but all are largely i'm
potent. They clash with one
another, increasing the confusion.
No leader now stands on the hori.

Director, American Institute Of
Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. Y, Dec. :
John L. Lewis and other strike
leaders have been staging their
dramas before an audience which
has become increasingly critical
Of everything that labor unions do.
The American people list strike
control as the first problem which
the new Congress should tackle
when it convenes in January. Pub
lie desire for such legislation has
been running strong for many
months. AS early as last January
the voters named strike control leg.
islation as the number one issue
of the 1916 Congressional election
campaign.
When the public was asked after
the election Nov. 5. What is the
first problem you would like to see
the new Congress take up?" the
five problems named most otter
were as follows, with strike control
named more than twice as fire..
gently as any other issue.
I. Strikes
2. Prices and high cost OF living
3. Taxes
4. Housing
5. Shortages
Public sentiment for control o!
unions has persisted for many
years. Before the war there was
a growing demand for it, and dur.
ing the wal this demand was in
creased as a result of strikes in
war industries.
Labor union leaders may. be
making the same mistake that pro
hibitionists did when public senti'
ment for repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment began to develop.
They concentrated attention or
Congress and neglected public
opinion.
They succeeded time after time
in forestalling Congressional action
on repeal. But they failed to sell
their views effectively to the pub
lie. Yet the public gets its way
in the long run-as the railroads,
the trusts, and the utility holding
companies and other groups dis
covered in the past in attempting
to resist public opinion when there
were, demands for government reg
ulation.
In the coal c%ontroersy the issue
is not simply whether John L. Lew
is or President Truman shall be
master. The issue is whether Johr
L. Lewis or American public opln'
ion shall be master.
Unionism Is Accepted
Public opinion accepts unionism
There can be no doubt OF that. Sc
far as the public IS concerned, col
lective bargaining is here to stay
But while John L. Lewis and the
general public are in full agree
ment that there should be unions
the r e of agreement does no
extend much further than that.
The general public is not II
agreement with Lewis and 9th u
labor leaders that union power
should be extended to include the
closed shop.
Public opinion surveys in the
past have found that the genera
public does not accept the closed
shop principle. One eason is tina
there is a deep distrust and dis
like of monopoly in any form. The
average American believes a mar
should be free to join a union j.

An Old Evil

The story of the inadequacy of pub
lie school teachers salaries is not a new
one. In fact, the only excuse for retell-
ing it is that it seems to be as con-
sistently forgotten as it is frequently
told, and also because the situation is
passing from that of a national dis
grace to that of a national problem.
Recent figures indicate that $780,
900 teachers have left their jobs since
the war began. Some $4,000 of them
have not been replaced. An additional
100 900 teaching jobs are being filled
by persons who could not qualify for
the Jobs except under emergency con-
ditions.
The reasons for this exodus are not
hard to find. During the war teachers
received an average pay increase OF II
per cent, as against Sc per cent for in
dustrial workers. That brought their
annual salary at the wars end
to S1786, or about S34 a week. This
compares unfavorably with the average
paw of domestics, m%anicurists, hat
check girls and others whose jobs
scarcely can match the teachers as
contributions to the country's advance
ment.
Even the average salary quoted
above, low as it is, is misleading on the
plus side. During the last year of the
war half the country's teachers were
averaging less than $1625 a year, a fifth
were getting less than $1,000, and $4,000
received less than 5000 annually.
Perhaps one of the chief causes of
this shameful condition is an outmoded
attitude which many of us have toward
the profession of teaching-an attitude
that sits in a back corner of our mind
like an inherited piece of antique
furniture.
A century ago, and less, school teach
ing was the most respectable of the few
professions open to women. Only the
very young, the very Jealous, or the
very d%isappointedly unattractive chose
it. Little training was demanded. Little
pay was expected or received. Teaching
was recognized as necessary, but as a
profession for women it was tolerated
as the first stepin search of a husband,
or the last refuge of a misfit spinster
who had to make her own way in a mans
world.
Today, of course, teaching is but one
of hundreds of professions from which
a woma may choose. The standards
and requirements are high. The train
ing is specialized and costly. Yet we
continue to underpay those to whom
we entrust the most important years
OF our children's training. Worse, we
continue the old practice of feeling free
to criticize teachers manners, personal
habits, dress and mode of living-un-
der threat of firing them.
Most teachers love their work. (How
else could they put up with what they
doD But more than a third of the
teachers employed in our public school
system have had to find other work
IN order to live and eat decently.
What we shall be faced with, if this
continues, is a school system stated
not by teachers equipped for their work
oy temperament and training, but by i'll
trained persons who otherwise could
not even earn the teachers p~ittance
The public schools are t~raditionally
and rightly the concern of the states
not the federal government. But Ger.
tainly the states stand to lose their
authority if they do not assume the
responsibility of lettering the lot oil
their public educators.
