RICHMOND. Dec. 30. - The
average teacher in Virginia was
paid 1926 in the fiscal year 1949-
so. an increase of $50 over the
comparable salary for 1948-49.
This compares with the national
average for 1949-50 OF $2,980, as
reported by the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
These and other statistics on
teacher salaries in Virginia were
reported today by the Virginia
Education Association, the profess
sional organization to which some
$4,000 Virginia teachers belong.
With the figures, the YEA
analysis added a word of caution: j:
Because of the salary extremes
existing in Virginia. average
salary is a very deceptive figure.
For example, while the average
salary for 1949-50 for all teachers
was $2,236. in only three Of the
100 counties was the elementary
average as much as this and in
only ID of the 100 counties was
the average high school salary as
much as $2,236."
The YEA said the lowest aver
age elementary salary was less
than half as much as the highest
ranging from $1,363 in Carroll
County to 1922 in Arlington
County.
A similar range prevailed in
high school salaries-from a low
of $1.548 in Bland County to q
high of 1929 in Arlington.
The YEAS analysis showed
these counties with highest aver
age salaries: a
Elementary - Arlington, $2,912;
